how to BS pop shuvit
Place your back foot on the tail, slightly hanging your toes over the edge will help with the scooping action.
Place your front foot near the front bolts.
Using your back foot, pop an Ollie and scoop your foot backwards at the same time.
Your front foot pushes outwards, shoving the board, helping it complete the 180 degree spin.
Let the board spin below your feet and try and land with wide feet on the bolts and bent knees.
WAYS to LEARN THE pop shuvit
Some people find it easier to spin the board in front of them, increasing the distance in which they need to jump to land on the board, whereas some people spin the board directly under their feet. Both ways are correct, try them both and see which way you prefer.
