A while back, I had accepted that I wasn't gonna be able to do this, but watched this and landed my first rolling pop shuv today 🙌 it's actually easier to learn while rolling
@@SarahParkMatott yeah your channel is super great , another trick I've been relearning is ride-on grinds to tail slide I like the carve motion with a nice tail slide to finish :)
I’ve been working on this trick for a couple of months (and progressing a little faster with non-popped shuvs), and a main challenge I have is that the board often doesn’t come forward quite enough, so I end up landing with my front foot on the nose (well, on the tail that has swung around). I can somewhat counteract this by thinking of jumping not just forward but also “back” / to the tail a bit. But, I’ll try scooping towards my front angle and seeing if that helps, too. Thanks for these amazing trick tutorials!
Yeah! I would definitely experiment with a more forward (toward the nose direction) pushing scoop rather than down. And I would also look at your upper body and see if you're leaning really far over your front foot. Leaning in a direction can move our jump there! Happened to me on a ton of tricks 😂 So, it's worth a check too.
@@SarahParkMatott That’s great advice - thank you! I have started landing these a little more, now. I have partly found a bit more success by placing my front foot forward, closer to the bolts than to my typical ollie position, with the toes almost touching the toe edge. Maybe this is mostly helping me to better center my weight. I also just changed to a slightly smaller board (8.3" from an 8.5"), and this small difference has actually been pretty helpful in letting me directly the board a little more.
@@thundernixon That's awesome! It's hard to emphasize just how important it is to take the time to do those experiments with foot placement and boards if you can. We are all coming from different bodies and mobility, so the best thing we can do is find what helps us 💪 Happy to hear that!
@@SarahParkMatott That’s a very good point! It feels like it also really changes based on the board and wheels, for me. Each tail I’ve had seems to need pop in a slightly different sweet spot. Well, thanks as always for the excellent videos, and best of luck in whatever you’re working on lately!
I audibly Oooooed out loud when you said pop towards your front heel. Like daayymmnn this intel. Who you been hostageing?! :OO I also love the lift your knees part. Even if the jump isn't high, the trick sure can be!
After about 1 year and half I finally decided to try a new trick I was stuck on ollie forcing myself to try and get it consistent I didn't I was getting so mad then decided to just stop for about a week I decided to go start agian but just try and have some fun but try a bit and it worked I learned fs 180 in about 2 weeks and now I want to learn pop shuv I was trying to lean kickflip I got supper close in a few weeks but landed primo so left it till later but for now this smaller tricks made skating more fun I still try but i keep in mind to have fun
that's awesome and actually really relatable. Because now, after landing so many tricks and skating for a few years, I have a lot more fun doing shove its and pop shove its than doing kickflips. So, it's a weird path skating 😂 glad you're having fun too!
I thought the difference about shove it and pop shove it, is the pop :) but now i know after your explain, is not really the same. Thank you :) btw i'm really afraid to stay primo 🤪
I was just thinking about pop-shuvits today! Thanks for the vid :) Do you have anything specific you do to make sure you don’t end up rolling your ankle when practicing them? Seems like many people learning this end up rolling their ankles, and I hurt mine practicing this… so not wanting a repeat! 😁
Hmm 🤔…I would say first of all just being really ready for the trick is important. I know a lot of skaters start learning tricks like this before they’re ready (or ride well) and that often leads to early injuries. I would recommend taking it slow, getting a good warm up and then working through the steps. Since you can’t exactly prevent an ankle roll, doing your best to prepare is the most important! i.e. having a solid foundation and warming up 😃
@@SarahParkMatott Thanks! Yea I think I just need to stop and not push myself when I’m getting too tired. Know my limits! Although getting hurt was not what I wanted, it turned out to be a forced break from skateboarding that I needed. Now I can ease back into it again and enjoy the process :)
I’m curious if you make it a point to learn each of these tricks switch during this whole process. I’ve seen a number of your videos with both regular and goofy stance examples and I would love to do the same thing. I want to learn the every trick in my regular and switch stance. Any tips for learning switch or is it just becoming more comfortable the more you practice?
That's an awesome question. It really depends. I've often tried to learn my normal stance first and then try others later. With FS shove its, I've worked on both regular and fakie at the same time. (I use my editing software for the regular/goofy clips just so all skaters can have a visual reference) Actually this summer I started expanding all my tricks through the different stances! The best tip is probably to start over with switch. Getting really good at switch pushing and riding last winter set me up to start working on switch tricks this summer for sure! And then you're really just applying the same techniques again but with the other foot. Unfortunately, for many of us it can feel a lot harder in the beginning just because there is such a huge strength/skill level in each leg--depending on how long you've been skating. For me, there is already a big difference. So, I am working hard to even it out! :D
Hi Sarah, great video - I am struggling with shuv it for the last I guess 3 weeks - I havent been able to understand how it is done - and I still am confused. When you are jumping, do you jump with your back foot, and scoop the board? Also your back foot is right on the tail, how do you get the scoop by not curling your toes around the edge? Als odo you use your front pusg the deck counterwise tı your back foot, or do you just use your back foot. Some videos show that they use both feet, especially John Giger - who is amazing says to use the both feet in the counter direction. :-/ Thank you.
Hi Emir! Great questions. I'm going to answer these assuming it's a shove it and not a pop shove it. Although, they can be done pretty similarly. 1. I jump off of both feet, but there is a power difference, since I want the front foot to come off first and the back foot to scoop after. The goal is to get as much of my weight off the board as possible and then scoop. 2. You don't have to curl your toes around the edge of the board for a shove it. But you can. I first learned to shove it (no pop) by pushing straight back and then I learned how to scoop it. As long as you scoop in the right direction, you can get the rotation without any curling of toes over the edge. But if that works and is comfortable, I'd do it. I might do it one day. I just didn't learn it that way. 3. I do not use my front foot to do shove its or pop shove its. Once again, you can. If it seems to work for you, I'd go for it. I learned it with one foot. And I like having the trick isolated to the back foot so that my front foot is free-er to focus on catching or later do other things for more advanced tricks.
I’ve been practicing this for so long I have the same problem, I can’t get my back foot up to the board, I catch it with my front but when I jump my back leg just locks striaght, I know how to yo yo jump and hippie jump, I don’t know what to do
One more think you can try is intentionally jumping off one leg. Standing on your back leg and doing the jump forward onto the board. Really exaggerate it. It is always frustrating in the beginning because so many skaters frame this as an easy trick, but it can take a long time. If you keep practicing it, you’ll get better and start landing it 💪💪 you got it!
Do you have any tips/suggestions for swinging my backfoot up? Even with regular shovits I can't bring my foot up/forward enough to actually land on the board. It just always stamps back down on the ground no matter how much I try to get it to go forward.
I always go back to knee tuck jumps and hippie jumps (starting behind the board and jumping forward on to it. Even a single footed jump onto the board). It's weird, but it always helps me. I'll do like 3 of these jumps and then try the trick again and just repeat. It takes a long time, but it helps in the long run. I have visuals of this explanation in the rolling shove its tutorial ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q9hcF-FVugI.html )
i can catch the board with my front foot but my rear foot isnt following 😭 i tried jumping high and i almost caught it. so im now here to learn bwhahaha
Noted 🤔 will have to think about better ways to explain it for the next update. The slash is like pushing diagonally the whole way through the motion. Whereas the scoop pops down and then at the last second before the board hits the ground scoops/pushes in the direction I mention in the video. Toward that inner heelside bolt. They seem super similar but can yield really different results.
