What this video teaches
Aaron Kyro's 2020 update emphasizes starting with the no-pop shove-it as the secret shortcut: when skaters who struggle with pop shove-its do a no-pop version first, they land it immediately, then add the pop and land it first try. The key teaching is that the front foot is the 'point of control', keeping it flat on the board prevents primo landings. For the pop version, the back foot moves slightly more to center of the tail because it needs to go down as well as back.
Key tips
- Learn no-pop shove-it first, land it consistently, then adding the pop makes it come immediately
- Front foot is the 'point of control': keeping it flat on the board prevents the board from turning to primo
- For no-pop: back foot hangs over the edge and kicks straight back; tail does NOT touch the ground
- For pop shuvit: back foot moves to center of tail so it can go straight down and then scoop back
- Practice step: pop with back foot, leave front foot on, step off with back foot only, this nearly IS the trick
- Adding the pop: do the same practice step but bend the back knee, that's the only difference
- Catch with your front foot, then extend back foot and drop it onto the board
- You can land on just your front foot and then place the back foot after, that's valid and helpful for consistency
