Ishod Wair's Front Shuv HACK! 

I kid you not the second you said he has his foot in the middle of the board I tried it and landed my first front shuv 💀 I wasn't even 10 seconds in 🔥🔥🔥

finally a channel that actually focuses on the small details on certain tricks that don't get mentioned

Yes! After I saw that Gabriel Fortunado clip I've been wanting to do them like that, it looks so good! Thanks for making this video.

Ishods back foot is further in on the tail. Maybe 3/4 inch from the end of the tail meaning he doesn’t need to put as much effort into popping the board. His foot is closer to the pivot point of the lever so the foot does a smaller movement to get a good pop. I tried this and found that my foot positioning combined with Ishods meant that having my foot in from the end but having my front foot half way between middle and bolts gave me that chilled shuv. Other points to note - his rear foot/toes/knee are pointing slightly forward. So the back foot kicks forward.

Fs pop shove it's aren't the easiest to learn,but once you learn them it's pretty easy to pop them higher and catch them and everything. I've only learned those a few months ago but now i have them pretty good and high,thx for this video!

I've always done mine like Ishod does em. Keeps them from going primo and almost looks horizontal from a second. Pretty good video man.

One reason Ishod does it this way is it makes it easier to do three sixty frontside shuvs and frontside bigger spins

When I tried this I got front SUVs way more consistent. Also love your vids 👌

learned fs shuv bs 50-50 & bigspin back boards after watching this today🤝

The first second I witnessed him do that fs shuv I know it was gunna be good

Hell yeah ive been waiting for a front shuv video. Youre the best man

Great video bruv, I think one thing that deserves some attention is that Ishod’s front shuvs are 99 percent back foot - as we know the scoop is generally controlled by back foot regardless of foot position but Ishod exaggerates this by keeping his front foot entirely stationary which, in my opinion, is what mostly attributes to the lazy effortless steez of his front shuvs.

Ur break down of tricks is always clear and logical. I like that

Man I'm so grateful for this

thanks, i'm going to try this next time i'm out as shuv-its are on the list of tricks i need to get back

your style looks noticeably cleaner when you do it like ishod. thanks for these breakdowns though! can’t wait to put them into practice

i love these trick analyses videos so much

I've had massive problems with front Shuvs for so long. That was such a simple fix!

The way you broke this down made me instantly subscribe and turn on notifications!! I love it because this is how my mind works

The basic trick CAN look like million bucks! Grrrreat.

I always did em like this. My thought process behind it was, the further you move your front foot back, the more pop you could get.

Trying this tomorrow

LOL I've literally been studying that exact Gabriel Fortunado front-shuv like a madman.

I was listening to the nine club recently and they were talking about being light and feathry on the board and i feel that definitely helps in improving steez

You deserve more subs I found your nyjah video and 1 I am now learning how to do the nyjah kickflip and 2 I just subbed and i love these video

Funnily enough I’ve actually done mine like this for years, inb4 “do u want a medal”

I swear u keep me motivated to skate!

I clicked thinking I'd get some tips and a new way to try this trick and then I realized I suck at the cool way to do it

About to try these today lol

Goddamn skated for 24 years and always wondered how people get the steezy front shuvs. Mine look like I tried as hard as humanly possible, every single time.

Excellent analysis of the trick, I feel like a lot of tutorials ignore how to shift your weight

For real, the ishod way Is so much Better looking even in your first attempt, I would really learn them likes that

I never thought about it, but it makes sense based on my skating. I have my feet closer together for switch front shove, very similar to Ishods, and they pop way higher than my regular pop shove. But, the foot position for switch is because I couldn't keep the board with me when my feet were further apart. I think that was a leaning issue. I never thought about why they popped higher, though. I'm going to have to try this for normal front shoves.

I tried this out and it actually works I can do front shoves better and more consistent

if you do it ishods way, learning varial heels becomes so much easier. it's pretty much the same foot position for me.

I use front foot at middle of the board for pop shuv too. i find that it more consistent to do the trick.

Loved the ‘analysis’, think you nailed it!

This really helped me a lot

This finally helped me get them popped thanks

Que hay hermano, tu contenido es lo más original qué he visto, todos escaneamos a los skaters profesionales para ver como hacen los trucos pero tu vaya qué lo llevas a fondo. 🔥🔥🔥 Keep doing it

Great tips ! Going to try this

such a complete and great analysis. Loved the video, will try it next session!

This might be my favorite observation of yours

This is an amazing hack. Mind blown. I'll be trying this today, thank you!!!

I use the same foot position for front shuvs, regular, fakie and switch.

I found having my front foot turned in (toward tail slightly) really helps, its like your front foot helps it around right at the pop

Hell yea I needed this bro, my front shuvs are currently ugly af lol

Never noticed the front foot positioning, will go try it out next time

Nice analysis. Made me subscribe

I love that you make these kinds of videos

I realized for every single trick in skateboarding it is very very crucial for you to quickly remove your backfoot off the board after you pop. I wish I knew this when I first started😂 unless u doing Late tricks or sum other fancy shit.

So I noticed they are all doing what I started doing to make my front shuvs "steezy", i think the biggest thing is keeping your back foot out in front (parallel front) for as long as it takes for the boatd to rotate around the bottom of your front foot. Feels amazing doing them this way

Same footing for back bigspin

im gonna try this for front 3 shuvs. It look easier to keep out in front of you with this foot positioning

I’ve noticed this before and a big tip that helped me with fs shuvs was putting a lot of my weight on the front foot and barely scooping the back foot, landing front foot first almost feels easier.

Damn I’ve been doing this with tres since forever. You keep your feet super close and you’re basically moving as least as possible 🤝🤣

bro i got that same betty boop board and the sb forces

Subbed for this, good stuff bro

I always had trouble over rotating this trick, but i started using this position recently and stopped hanging my toes off the edge of the board, and my front shuvs are soo much better and feel cleaner than the traditional foot placement

Love this

Thanks a lot for this man! Been struggling with these for the past 3 weeks, I got back to skateboarding about a month ago after not skating for 15 years, and its so weird cause yesterday I landed more treflips than ever and I caught a couple of those with my front foot, I was hesitating if I should keep on trying after all those years and now been 32 is a bit harder but theres nothing I want more thank get back to it, and catching those treflips boosted me up real good man, but its so weird cause I got tricks down I never had before, im catching beautiful treflips and heelflips and almost caught an inward, I couldnt believe it, back when I was a teenager there wasnt no youtube showing us foot positioning techniques etc so the tricks we knew we learned those from our friends so after over analyzing tricks for the past years and a half now that I have my board it really helped, landes tricks I never thought I could BUT, i havent got down my kickflips the way I had em, of all the tricks im locking kickflips are the ones I had on lock all these years and now im struggling real hard with em, I land em but with no pop so its as if I eerent landing them tbh, but yeah man, how am I landing steezy front foot catch tres but cant catch my kickflips as I used to? Been practicing that only back foot catch before commiting and its poping and catching just like I want to but I need more commitemenr I guess.

These are so good!

The front foot's job is to chill. Be wherever but just sit back and wait. Its all in Knowing what it takes in your back foot to snap it around, then your front foot clocks in when the board is lined up again. You can literally just practice that back foot snap with your front foot on the ground. Tre flips are similar as well. Its that back foot doing the work, front just needs to seal it.

My foot positioning has always been too wide and I have to exert a bunch of effort..going to try this out later!!!

Keep em coming joe✌️ i enjoy your videos!

Kids at the skate park always trip when I do front shoves. Lol I have an effortless front shuv.

Can you do his heelflip hack? His heelflips are so effortless

Going to end the video and hit some flat ground to test this out. THANKS!!!!

Sick vid bro, Could you do a vid on frontside flips or front big spins on flat

I find that tricks are situational. You can do the same trick with slightly different foot placements at different speeds as long as the end result is what you want. An example is a kickflip to 5.0 stall.. you may flick faster for that trick then you would have a slightly delayed flick to clear a 3 stair.. The end result is you land that kickflip because its what was comfortable and those tricks end up looking more natural.

great tip!

yeah foot positioning is part of it but you could do just as steezy and effortless in almost any foot position. What I shod is doing better than most other skaters is he is rotating his tail around the front foot. imaging spinning a pin wheel where your front foot would be the center of the pinwheel and the edge on the pinwheel would be the tail of your board. In what direction, and how strong you jump, could effect where the true center of rotation would be on your board in every individual attemt. I shod "hacks" this by literally putting all his weight on his front foot right in the middle of the board and as he jumps he front shuvs at a straight 90 (imaging flicking the edge of the pinwheel with your finger). After It rotates his front foot just needs to move forward a little bit too back to bolts. This is also very useful when doing lazer flips and front 360 shuvs where you want the maximum spin.

Dude this is sickkk.

Just recently figured out how to manipulate my front shove and having the back foot in the middle or just closer to the toe side of the tail gives you a really controlled pop on it as long as u pop str8 down and scoop simultaneously, and with my front foot I got the same issue cuz Im mad short but when u angle ur front foot ever so slightly like a kickflip it kind of makes getting that foot out of the way for sum reason easier

Love this. Ty man

Yes it is more optimum to do All pop shuvs, varials & tres vertical Not horizontal.

its mostly in back foot .. putting it MID on the tail is key to keeping shuv it flat

I also do mine from the center

Most tricks usually comes to putting on your front and transferring it to your back foot. But, they’re more easier for me switch.

I feel like the position of his back foot and legs/hips is crucial! Notice his back foot is angled inwards (closer to the angle of his front foot but not quite the same). Also as someone already mentioned his back foot is a bit further in on the tail, letting him pop easier and quicker. He scoops the board on an inwards angle, NOT perpendicular & away as many tutorials teach. This helps keep the board right under him

Nice vid keep it up!

Now explain Ishod’s switch lazer flips, THAT will be a good video. I’ve seen them in person and it makes no sense with how high up he positions his front foot.

Good video ty

I have to put mine really far back for a v heel too

This inspired me to try front shuv for an hour yesterday but still no luck. My ollies on flat naturally travel in the direction of a frontside 50-50. So, when it comes to any trick where the board naturally goes backwards I can't get my feet anywhere near it. I hate that I can kickflip over 2 decks but I can't front shuv or even backside 50-50 a curb.

I do this with BS pop shuvs all the time, foot on the middle acts as a point of rotation, you can do these without the front foot even leaving the deck. Grants a lot more control and all you gotta focus on is the back foot really.

This Ishod way is a lot easier and generally just feels better to land and I don’t smash my heel anymore from it going behind me 😅 tip keep front foot out of the way at all times only use it when you catch it jump before you pop slightly

Ishods way is the normal way

That’s the best foot position for me

I was having trouble with my regular pop shuvs and I moved my front foot to the middle and immediately got them

i noticed urs catches on the way up and ishods catches at the hight of the pop or on the way down

i do my front shoves just like that but my front foot sits on top of the front bolts and i pop it high tuck my knees and catch w my front foot then follow w the back

Ishod's face always looks like he thought a funny joke to himself while stoned

Good vid

i think thi will help. thnx

I have been doing the same thing ishiod does for front shoves and had no clu

Show ur Front Shuv some Love!

Shout out joe ahah I tagged you in the Gabriel ig post

Still struggling on this trick man

What the hell! I saw a spot called “shady spot “ in St George. Where you at??
