What this video teaches
Skiddy Skates walks through the shove-it first to build the motion, then transitions to the pop shove-it where you adjust foot position further onto the tail and add a downward pop while scooping. The standout cue is that the front foot must scoop out of the way early and then catch the board on the front bolts to stop over-rotation. Includes slow-motion footage and clear step-by-step practice progressions.
Key tips
- Learn the no-pop shove-it first to get the scooping motion before adding the pop
- Back foot goes on the front edge of the tail with toes hanging slightly off (the 'pocket') for the shove-it; move it further onto the tail for the pop version
- Front foot position: just behind the front bolts at a slight angle, heel hanging slightly off
- Scoop with the back foot only, do NOT spin it with your front foot or your shoulders will rotate
- Keep shoulders lined up with where you want the board to go throughout the trick
- For the pop: push down and pop the tail while scooping, the extra pop means less resistance so less scoop needed
- Front foot catches the board on the front bolts first, then bring back foot down
- Practice stationary first: scoop without standing on it, then catch with back foot, before attempting to land
