What this video teaches
Tom Rohrer's foundational frontside pop shuvit tutorial, the 180-degree base motion the 360 version builds on. Focuses on back-foot pocket placement, keeping the front foot flat rather than up on the toes, and the critical cue of jumping backward so the board doesn't end up trailing behind you.
Key tips
- Place your back foot in the inside pocket of the tail rather than centered, that pocket position is what pushes the board out into the frontside scoop
- Shift your front foot so your toes hang slightly off the edge, keeping it flat on the board rather than up on your toes
- Pop and scoop at the same time, scooping too early loses pop and scooping too late loses rotation
- Jump backward as you pop, the natural motion otherwise leaves the board trailing behind you instead of underneath you
- Lift your front foot up the instant your back foot starts popping and scooping
- Keep your shoulders square and parallel to the board rather than letting them twist into the rotation
- Bend down further than feels natural before popping, put your full weight into the board first
- Practice the jumping-back motion off the board first, without fully committing, to build the timing before landing on it
