living on a navy base in japan, it is difficult to find a local shop that doesn’t sell a board for 120 dollars+ so i just order off these cool guys😁 PIZZA SKATEOARDS RULE!
What I love about BS POP Shuvs is how you can catch the board with both feet or you can try and be extra steezy and catch it with your front foot and back foot way steezed out hahaha. It’s a trick that you can very easily control. Its one of the simplest yet most satisfying tricks. One of my favorites.
I'm 38 and tried skateboarding as a teen but I gave up pretty quickly. Decided to give it another shot - 2 weeks of practice and I landed my first pop shove it. I have no words to explain how I felt. Can't remember the last time I was so pumped about something. 🙏
That section explaining to break the friction between the wheel and the ground is so good. I was wondering why my shuvits were going to space each that solves it! I needed to have some kind of "flick".
this is hands-down the best tutorial i have seen for a pop shuv it, the tip about pushing to make the back wheels lose traction made it click for me, can't wait to put that into use, 10/10
I think I consider this the best shuvit tutorial I have seen so far (and I have seen tons lately). All my questions have been answered in a crystal clear way!
Wow these are absolutely incredible! These videos make so much sense and I love the physics explanation of em too! Really helps understand and visualize what is happening
This tutorial actually helped I would put my back leg on the tail on top and not really try to scoop but putting my leg more on the side of the board and scooping it helped me understand it more better
Thank you so much, Tim. This is for me another masterpiece on this channel in addition to your ollie and kickflip videos. Very instructive and fun to watch! 🤘 FS Pop shuvs give me headaches. Especially the scoop to rotate the board completely 180 degs. I land them more at a 120 deg angle. Any tip for that?
Thank you for the kind words! 😅 As for the FS Pop shuv, you might just need to jump a little more and get a solid pop for a split second more airtime. It took me a long time to figure out SF shuvs! I finally realized that it's pretty much all in the ankle and less of a push forward with your leg. Make sure you get a solid jump, an jump behind you a little bit. When you pop the board, focus more on a good snap with the ankle, and less on throwing your leg out in front of you. Also don't aim the pop straight out, angle it slightly towards the nose, so the board will travel with you better. (It's so much harder to explain tricks via text! 🤔). I mean, you're already landing on them, so you'll figure out what adjustment you have to make and you'll have 'em dialed. 👊🛹🍻 - Tim
Hi Tim, sorry I realized that I never answered. Thanks for taking the time and giving me some advice. Highly appreciated! Meanwhile I managed to land the FS shove it more frequently. Still a challenge to master it. But I know I can do it and need to keep practicing. Here is some footage of my first landed FS shove … ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bsfKwvv3o4g.html (at about 8:00 minutes). Once again, keep up the great content. Love it! 🛹💪🤘
Best shuvit tutorial ever made... One question: i have shuvits and popshuvits in my bag, but I still land them with my feet in a narrow position on the board, this sometimes let the board slip under them, making me fall. How can I "force" my legs to stay wider when jumping? Thanks to all who'll reply
I'm having a hard time getting pop shovits: if I get a good pop and scoop I'm not able to lift my back foot enough and land with both feet; when I do land it I never get the pop and end up with a simple shove it. Any tips to adjust the pop while lifting the back foot? Thank you 🙏
Shuvits look so satisfying, but whenever I try them, I just suck and can't get it. I tried learning them for a few days once, but got too frustrated and decided to learn how to ollie instead. Now that my ollie is okay, I wanted to try and learn shuvits again. I don't really spend much time on that though
I can shuv, ollie, fs 180 and other basic tricks but I can’t pop shuv for the life of me. Even when I put all my effort into popping it doesnt go higher than an inch off the ground, I’ve literally been trying this trick for 1 year and a half and I still can’t get it. Do you have any advice??
More specifically the main problem is height, I pop straight down, bend my knees and it doesnt go any higher than a regular shuv. On the rare occasion that it does its so far in front of me that when both my feet touch the board it goes spiraling away from me
Since you can already ollie, I would suggest trying to jump and pop it similar to that. Be sure to get a solid jump upwards first. The jump always comes first and initiates the trick, and you pop the board when your body is on the way up. The pop is going to be slightly angled, but it's mostly straight down and it's all in your calf muscles to extend that ankle to smack down the tail. What kind of board are you using? Is it worn out/cracked and/or soggy? Just trying to diagnose what's goin' on. 👍🛹 - Tim
@@tacticsboardshop Thank you and sorry for the late reply, I feel like I have the technique down for popping cause I can ollie pretty high but next time I skate I’ll try to scoop less and pop more like an ollie. I ride a 8.25 with a bit of razor tail but I’ve been through like 4 boards and I’ve had trouble pop shuving with all of them
That's kind of a tricky one because the trick naturally tilts the board for a nose manual. I'd suggest being sure you get a really solid pop so the tail can bounce up and level out as much as you can, and also you need to clear both trucks up the pad because you're landing on the back wheels only. You may also need to have a little more weight on your back foot on the initial jump/pop. You'll definitely need to catch it with both feet at the same time and really push that back foot down. I completely understand cracking the tail on the trick because we're trying to reverse the tilt and bring the back truck down quickly. Are you having trouble continuously landing bolts, or is it holding the initial balance? - Tim
@@tacticsboardshop thanks for the reply. That’s a good suggestion. I usually land it and I’ll kind of be just barely in a manny. I’ll try to give it another go.
Can we get a 360 Flip tutorial? I get the full motion but the board always goes in front of me, and a part of this tutorial where it mentions the scoop and how the wheels affect how the board stays under you
This might be dumb, but how do you get your front foot out of the way? Once I lift it up, the board just immediately pops up in tandem with it and my board just gets caught before i can even scoop.
It all comes down to timing. The board is going to naturally follow close behind your foot, but if the board is popping up and smacking the underside of your foot, then you're either not lifting your knee toward your chest fast/high enough, or you're not angling the pop enough so it's just coming straight up to your front foot. Also, I like to keep my front foot kind of in the middle of the board and that gives the front part of the board a little more room to travel upward and rotate. Are you trying shuv-it or Pop shuv-it? - Tim
@@tacticsboardshop Trying pop shuv-its, but honestly I haven't landed a regular shuv-it either because of the same issue. I have a solid ollie that I can ride around with but I also think my brain thinks "oh we're popping, time to slide forward and level out" and any deviation from that is met with extreme resistance. I'll try and really exaggerate what you said. Thanks for such a fast reply!
That height in the back foot is going to come from the initial jump. You might have to put a little more effort into the vertical jump and then commit to getting your back foot up immediately after the scoop (shuv) / pop (pop shuv). Is your back foot going to the ground immediately after the scoop? - Tim
@@tacticsboardshop Yeah, my back foot is basically just scooping then instantaneously going to the ground. The board rotation is perfect, it's 180 degrees. The front foot landing is perfect, it's right on the bolts, but the back foot just can never get high enough to land.
@@proddanyy If you're getting the rotation perfectly, then it's all just a commitment issue. Maybe try finding some kind of bike rack or something to prop yourself up to give yourself some moon-gravity and re-train your back leg to get on the board. I have a few tricks like that myself where I've developed the muscle memory to instantly plant my back foot. To me, skateboarding is 90% mental and the hardest part is just willing your body to take the risk of committing to an unknown feeling of landing a new trick. Another way to practice shuvits that I didn't mention in the video is to try it on carpet with no trucks. It pretty much eliminates any chance of falling. It obviously will feel very different than doing it with trucks/wheels, but it can be another confidence builder for getting that back leg on the board. I know you can get it! 🙏👊🛹 - Tim
Could you be a little more specific? Is the board flinging away when you try the scoop? Or are you scooping too hard and the board is spinning uncontrollably? Or is it sliding out while you're standing on it?
My shuvs are very hit or miss. Seems the rotation of the board rotates almost around the front truck so when I jump forward a bit only my front door lands on the (new) tail. How do you keep it under you, or even a bit in front of the toes but not 45 degrees off the front foot?
Where are you putting your feet? It shouldn't rotate off the front truck (unless you're doing nollie shuvits). Are you leaning back a lot? That might cause the board to travel towards your front foot and not be under you anymore. I know you'll get 'em dialed! - Tim
Hi all, this is one of the most through explanations of shuvits that I had watched. I am ride goofy, so my left will do the scoop of the tail, which as I am right handed is just kind of hard to insert into muscle memory. Well we do need to jump to get the wheels of the ground first, and then do the shove - do I push the board with my right foot in the opposite direction as I am doing the scoop motion with my back foot? Another issue that I am struggling is to wrap my toes around the tail as I wear US 6-7 sneakers. I would appriciate you answer, thank you.
Hey! When shoving the board, leave it all for your back foot (left foot for you). The front foot's (right) job is only to get out of the way to give the board some room to rotate. You don't need to have your back foot hanging way off to get the scoop. Just have the ball of your back foot on the edge of the tail and that should be enough for the shuvit. And with pop-shuvits, you want your foot more centered on the tail anyway. I hope that answers your questions! - Tim
Thanks for the reply. I am having a difficult time with the scoop motion of the back foot. I am a righty but skate goofy so my back foot is the left. Would you guys have a video on specifically of the scoop movement? How we press it down, how we are to use our foot to scoop, part by part maybe we can understand it a bit easier. As the scoop is the key here it is to be understood very well. Thank you.
@@emirtanju It's pretty much broken down in this video, you'll just have to translate it to your left foot. The scoop isn't a super precise movement. It's mostly just pushing the tail behind you, and figuring out how much pressure and force to use is going to be a matter of trial and error. Just be sure you are trying to commit to landing back on the board and you'll get it. 👍
Just be sure to keep your weight evenly distributed between your feet on the take off and landing. You don't want to lean back at all for this trick, your center of gravity should be over the middle of the board the whole time. Also a wider stance will make balancing a bit easier. Also just practice! Hopefully those small tips will help! 👊🛹🙏 - Tim
I can only land the shuvit with my front foot idk why but no matter what my back foot just refuses to get on the board. Hoping this video helps me understand what I’m doing wrong
