What this video teaches
Braille's original long-form tutorial covers shove-it and pop shove-it comprehensively, with the no-pop shove-it as the prerequisite. The key teaching here is that the front foot must be kept close and relatively flat, one rider (Nigel) demonstrates the advanced style of scooping down AND forward with the back foot simultaneously, which propels the board in front of you for a stylish catch with the front foot. Aaron and Nigel show multiple style variations once the basic trick is landed.
Key tips
- Master the no-pop shove-it before the pop version, it is literally the same trick with one addition
- Front foot stays close and flat to the board to prevent primo, it is the 'point of control'
- For the shove-it: back foot curls over the edge and scoops straight back, tail does not touch the ground
- For pop shove-it: back foot pops straight down AND scoops back in a single fluid motion
- Advanced tip from Nigel: scoop down AND forward so the board pops in front of you for a cleaner catch
- A tip that helped Aaron: consciously keep the front leg nearly straight to hold the board flat in the air
- With the pop, use your whole leg for more pop height, or just the ankle for a stylish low steezy version
- Practice steps: shove it with one foot off, then add the other, then add the pop, each step barely different
