Quick and Easy Shuvit Tutorial

What this video teaches

Skate IQ frames shove-its as your first flip trick and teaches the rotational mechanics from first principles. The standout coaching cue is to watch your back trucks rotate and become your front trucks, aiming to plant your front foot right on those front bolts, 'aim small, miss small.' The video also teaches how to vary the spin height by changing whether you push your back foot down-and-behind vs down-and-forward.

Key tips

• 1Back foot in the center of the tail with a little space between toe and the rail, prevents flipping
• 2Front foot lives anywhere from below the front bolts to above center, you have a 4-6 inch comfort zone
• 3All power comes from your back foot doing a kick-and-sweep motion (like kicking your own heel)
• 4Eyes should track the back trucks all the way around until they become the front trucks, aim your front foot at the bolts
• 5Land on your front foot first and set the back foot down softly, this forces you to lean forward and avoid chasing the board
• 6Jump high enough to float and give yourself time to read and react to the board
• 7For a low fast spin: push back foot straight behind you, low; for height: flick the tail more toward the ground
• 8Try different spin heights deliberately, forces you to adapt and builds more consistent landings
