Factorization of Pop Shove-its. Break down of the trick and categorization of elements.

You can view 3D models from here:
whythetrick.io/pop-shove-it/
Pop Shove-its are consist of different factors. Although explaining individual elements is something we could always do, it has also been blinding us from understanding the whole concept of the trick.
This time, we are not talking about how to land the trick. Instead, we are talking about the structure of the trick from the beginning, so that we can fully understand the science behind it.
Please take a moment and try to study this in detail.
I'm trying to eliminate subjectivity from my explanation as much as possible by referring to scientific and physics theories. Please use my 3D models to solve your "why."
#skateboarding
#shove-it #shuvit
#blender
#three.js
Traditionally, skateboarding how-to videos have always been subjective and the majority of explanations are based on speakers' experiences.
To avoid relying on my personal experiences, please fully utilize the 3D models.
All skaters have different questions.
So that you can analyze skateboarding tricks in detail and solve your "whys," those 3D models are made fully interactive.
The 3D models feature these functions below:
- change camera angle
- adjust play speed
- change transparency
- display gridlines, etc.
Aside from that, I try to explain concepts of skateboarding tricks based on facts, calculations, scientific and physics theories. I may make mistakes so please leave a comment if you find anything.

[@mathera1679]

this channel is gold. there are so many topics you could cover. I'd really like to understand how the wheelbase, truck height etc ... modify the dynamics of the board. Ben Degros, with his youtube channel, has often analyzed these aspects heuristically. my autism would be thrilled to see these topics from an analytic point of view.

[@rmhfpv9225]

YES!

[@roothik]

You have the most interesting and original skate channel i have seen so far on KZbin. Explaining tricks from a total different perspective, and i mean really explaining them! Keep it up and greetings from cold and rainy/snowy Germany.

[@whythetrick]

Hey thanks a lot! Hope it gets dry soon out there…

[@bsszzzz1779]

i just woke up and saw the snow here also.. grüßeeee :)

[@whythetrick]

Pass auf

[@SimplyJoshinYa]

How have I not found this channel sooner!? I love seeing the animations. It’s such a great way to envision a trick without having to land it a thousand times on camera and it will always be clean unlike in real life (props on you for having irl footage also I’m well aware of how difficult solo filming is even if it’s just a shuv). The animations also really make it more understandable and just change the way you think about the Physics of skating.

[@ShrimplessScampi]

This dude brings the science to the tricks I’ve been trying explain to family and friends that either don’t skate or are learning to skate. Needed you anywhere between 15-20 years ago (when I was learning fundamental tricks)

[@whythetrick]

Thanks for comment. So I guess you are already super good at skating. Haha

[@trcctrl]

I remember just under 2 weeks ago this channel only had 500 subs and now its up to 5k! Very well deserved; one of the best channels I have ever seen on here.

[@paraluxdesign6821]

Ive been looking for a channel like this for years! Thank you!!

[@jaychung8310]

Finally a channel that matches my learning style. I hope you can breakdown ollies one day. I was told My ollies opening frontside was because of my shoulders turning. Everywhere I go and look up the only reason i can find is my shoulders. But i believe there is more to the story (front foot angles, overpop, hips)

[@DemonKy0]

This! Please Ollie as next trick in depth. I still struggle to get an Ollie and keeping the momentum of rolling. I think this could be due to my slow speed, but I think the deconstruction could help further. 🤓

[@pooltheboy]

I'd like to see what tends to go wrong when adding height/speed like with gaps and stairs, also breaking down how to hit handrails and straighten out to fakie or reg

[@mariocristobalcolladoavile448]

I started skating late 90's early the year 2000's. I had all these issues you mentioned, but I figured it out back in the days that if I pop like an ollie, placing my foot at the top of the tail, right in the middle, pop it hard and scoop it at the same time, the board wouldn't flip or go away. It worked for me and helped to clear out obstacles.

[@elijahjohn7115]

this is hands down, the best skateboarding channel that ever was! I hope to god you make a bs 180 video at some point

[@whythetrick]

Thank you! Planning to talk about bs180s after pop shove its.

[@Haveink]

Can't believe I didn't know about this channel until now

[@kylevansickle2811]

A little tip would be to use your front foot to catch the board and it helps it from trying to flip.

[@graalcloud]

I'm very good a pop shove-its and can do them really high, and I have always found that popping from the spot where he pops in this video causes a ton of problems. I always pop from the exact center of the end of the tail and that makes it so the board never flips, and is also the secret to getting them really high. I also give it a little forward nudge (forward as in the way that I'm rolling) with my back foot during the pop and that helps me keep it centered when doing them high in the air.

[@pasta8793]

Can you do a video on ollies? I am new to skateboarding and I am starting to understand the mechanics behind the ollie, but I'd love to see you explain it!

[@whythetrick]

Thank you for watching as always. Question: so many people have been asking for clips about heelflips and bs180s. WHY??? It’s not kickflip or fs180. Can anyone academically explain this? 😎

[@collinheil5794]

i can bs180 but not consistently. I’d like to just understand the foot positioning and have a better understanding of the trick and rotation overall

[@ffcsk8801]

bs 180 are normally harder as well as heel flips but it depends on your style and I know more beginners that can fs 180

[@KoolteethDeBlog]

@@ffcsk8801 think so, too.

[@bsszzzz1779]

i guess humans feel more safe moving/turning towards what they can see. bs180 you jump and turn like behind. and i think there is multiply ways how you can do them, i love them. And why heelflips, i guess people are more stuck to the kickflips and neglect practicing heelflips.

[@graalcloud]

If anyone is having trouble with the board flipping, try popping from the very center of the tail instead of where he is putting his foot. I have always found that to work much better for various reasons but it also stops the board from flipping.

Basically I now stand as if I want to do a kickflip and push my popping foot behind me and towards the nose, stretch my front foot as if you catch a treflip and you'll catch it pretty well.
