What this video teaches
Aaron Kyro from Braille gives a concise breakdown of pop shove-it mechanics. The key teaching is that the front foot stays on the board the entire time as a 'guiding' foot to prevent the board from flipping, while the back foot does all the work by curling under and kicking straight back to scoop the board. The video emphasizes that the toe hanging off the side of the tail is critical for getting a good scoop.
Key tips
- Back foot placement: toes hang off the side of the tail so the foot can properly curl under and scoop
- The scoop motion: your toe curls underneath the side of the board, then kicks it straight back
- Front foot barely comes off the board, it just guides and controls the board throughout
- The front foot prevents the board from flipping or going sideways (primo)
- Don't need to hit the tail super hard, just hard enough to lift the board off the ground
- Pop the board by slamming the tail, then scoop it back with your back foot in one motion
- Practice the back foot scooping motion in isolation before attempting to land
- This is the first trick where you jump and the board does something under you, get comfortable with that feeling
