Pop shove it

1. Pop shove-its are easier off of your nose, so ride your skateboard backward to start.

2. Ollie, and at the same time, use your back foot to shove your board 180' degrees. The more you exaggerate this movement, the quicker the board will shove-it around.

3. Keep your eyes on the board as it rotates. It's easy to land wrong.

4. Once your board has gone 180' degrees, use your front foot to stop the rotation and "catch" the board. It sounds strange, but you'll understand when you try it.

5. Before landing, make sure your back foot has found its way back to the tail.

6. Land with your knees slightly bent and roll away.

To perform the pop shove-it, roll at a moderate to fast speed and assume the ollie position. Ollie upwards, but instead of sliding your leading foot to the nose - as you would for a straight ollie - keep it near the center of the board. Push the tail slightly with your trailing foot to the heel side and guide the board around with your leading foot. As the leading end of the board swings around, "catch" it with your trailing foot, and land.
