The EASIEST trick in skateboarding - Nollie backside Shove-it with science

You can view 3D models from here:
whythetrick.io...
While being considered one of the easiest tricks in skateboarding, Nollie backside Shove-its are packed of questions from scientific and physical point of view.
In this video we will break down what it takes to spin a board and why it is so easy to do this trick.
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."

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.

a vid about nose manuals would be sick, or just manuals in general

[@KoolteethDeBlog]

Yes, I agree this would be great!

[@Corn0nTheCobb]

+1 for nose manuals

[@drippywater4271]

Bro because of you I was able to kick flip. I’m beyond thankful. I wish I could show you of thankful I am. What you are doing is amazing and you help me out sooooo… much

[@japrar]

My friends and I call an unpopped trick as a "ghost popped" rather than "phantom." Great videos, your explanations are really good.

[@TechkNEiK]

iv never heard of it being called phantom, we just call it a shove instead of pop shov

[@japrar]

Same thing in practice, more or less. Different technique on a ghost popped nollie shuvit vs a nollie shuv, though. Nollie shuv you just huck around with rotational force, ghost popping utilizes downwards/upwards leverage to pull the board up more.

[@sieteLineas]

these are amazing, keep them coming !!! skate and computational physics... what can be better?

[@whythetrick]

Thanks for the comment!

[@ikadreeminn]

Yooo, for once, I actually know the reasoning, but still hella good video. (Also welcome back, long time no upload.)

[@whythetrick]

Thanks for waiting! I’m actually uploading every 2 weeks.

[@ikadreeminn]

@@whythetrick Oh nice, good to know.

I love your channel so much. NO ONE is talking about the science of skateboarding which I think will unlock so much for people trying to learn like myself. I have a request. I have researched all of the spitfire wheel shapes. I am still trying to figure out what wheel offers the most control “landing” from an Ollie. Spitfire talks about control, but what does that mean? I want to know if a more rounded shape makes a more stable landing surface when doing an ollie or if a conical style shape will provide a better control land. I know they offer different surface areas but if you don’t land exactly perfect, which one will help you control the landing? I am 36 and just started skateboarding this year. Your channel has helped so much understanding where to place my body weight and where to jump and what I am doing wrong. Please please keep up your channel and thank you for all your hard work, I know how much time goes into making each video. -Tommy, North Carolina

[@whythetrick]

thank you for the comment. It honestly feels so wonderful to know that I could help someone like you. *fyi in terms of age, I'm a lot closer to you than all those young, energetic skaters out there. anyway, as for the relation b/w shapes of wheels and landing stability, based on my personal opinion at least, the impact of the shapes of wheels is pretty much limited to an extent that you can ignore. please think about it: although "conical shape" and "round shape" would actually be different, but in terms of landing, your body weight + downward force your body creates are so much bigger than such a tiny difference can absorb. yet, it does NOT mean that it does not do anything at all. from my personal experience, when I miss my Ollies, I usually mis-distribute my body weight. in other words, by the time my body weight is in the middle of the air, there's already something wrong with it. this is exactly when the importance of the shapes of wheels kicks in: it stabilizes the approach sequence. with a wider contact with the ground, wheels are more stable and help us stabilize our postures while approaching. yet again, the impact of wheels on the stability of landing is (although it might indirectly help you stabilize your posture while approaching,) limited. on the contrary, shapes can be an important factor to decide how it feels to do some tricks. e.g. the feeling of "lock in" while grinding of conical shape.

[@yaeba8824]

Just for future reference, most people call it a "ghost pop" not "phantom"

[@Masloff30]

I like all shovits and learned it in one time

[@rxgueplanet]

My favorite trick 🤤

[@DanielGonzalez74543]

What about the other nollie shuv that spins frontside

[@frater_niram]

loving the chain skateboard, that is so silly

[@DanielGonzalez74543]

Make a video on why nollie frontside shuvits are difficult

[@user-qj5wf3zy7z]

what‘s the backfoot work in backside 360？Is need Z-axis rotation？

[@whythetrick]

In my case, I try to keep sending my backfoot in the same direction even after reaching a top of my Ollie. 1. Wind up 2. Ollie and start spinning 3. Keep on sending backfoot until you land Something like that

[@SkateNdie]

Ya I learned shuvits fakie when I was a kid. I thought I was special but it's definitely easier

[@frater_niram]

in other words, a suddenly stopped forward momentum allows for reducing the strength of vertical gravity

[@claysoggyfries]

Why isn’t it called a fs shuv it while in Nollie stance?

[@whythetrick]

Thanks for the comment. That’s simply because it spins backside. In switch, if you do the same thing, it’s switch front side.

[@bakerboardz39]

​@whythetrick I get into arguments about this all the time. I grew up calling it a nollie fs shuvit. In a game of skate, when you do a shuvit, and someone asks what you did, you just say "shuvit" instead of saying "bs shuvit". So when you do a nollie shuvit, it looks like a fakie one and you would say "nollie shuv". Also, I've been going off of skate 1, 2, and 3 for the past 10+ years. In those games, this trick is called a nollie fs shuvit.

[@BrandonHoyt]

@@bakerboardz39that’s the problem, the EA Skate games had it wrong. Then people argue their silly incorrect argument in KZbin comments 😆 This is and will always be a nollie back shove.

[@eggfoden2063]

You idiot it’s Nollie frontside shuv. Check berrics trickipedia. Also the board does the motion of a frontside shuv it doesn’t matter that the board goes behind you. Like a front shuv goes behind you. I am saying this cuz that was your argument for why it’s backside

[@caseymoto]

now i know how to nollie shuv my car

[@daviddelaiglesiacordoba9458]

That's folk

[@KoolteethDeBlog]

Thanks for this! The nolli / fakie concept is realy enlightening. Is it the same with fs or bs nollis and fs or bs fakie ollies?

[@whythetrick]

Thanks for the comment. More or less the same concept applies to frontside shuvits, too.

[@julian_sp]

thats front shuv but clean either way

[@whythetrick]

Please let me know if there's any reliable database I can refer to. According to wikipedia and other souces of information on the internet, I'm certain it is Backside. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontside_and_backside

[@patirckozz]

you da man

[@mynameistechno]

When my popping foot scoops the board backward/behind you its backside. Since this is nollie the foot scoops it forward so its frontside to me

[@kylespevak6781]

Fakie is considered rolling backwards, nollie isn't. So nollie has bs/fs swapped

[@jdinsomniac7504]

why does my board go all of the place when i try to do it? it never lands under my feet

[@raphaka]

I can do them with one foot on the Board while "poppig" 😁

[@ImArtfulLee]

interesting analysis) If you are interested, I do a board flick during nollie tricks directly diagonally away from me in the direction of movement. I have this video on my channel "All Four FS Pop Shove it"

[@joshs5418]

your voice is awesome

[@whythetrick]

Ah, yeah? Never thought about it lol

would be very intrested to see BS Kickflip

a what?? BS kickflip doesnt exist

@@whythetrick heavier than I thought it would be, still has lots of pop after skating it daily for over a month

[@whythetrick]

Haha, too much information.

[@sieteLineas]

not at all, i wish there was more of it tbh

[@lebowskiunderachiever3591]

Just right 🤗

[@SkateNdie]

You are what the skate world needs bro

[@maxsanchez764]

Don’t you mean fs?

[@whythetrick]

Hi thanks for the comment. I'm wrong all the time but according to wikipedia, it's BS. If I'm misunderstanding something, please submit a revision request to wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontside_and_backside#Skateboarding

[@hudsonperls]

thats frontside

[@whythetrick]

Why?

[@Jaxsurf895]

That is a Fs Nollie shuv it not BS

[@whythetrick]

hi thanks for the comment. i guess its fs according to wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontside_and_backside

[@bakerboardz39]

@@whythetrick Wait, is it fs? Just like fakie fs?

[@cameronlamb1869]

nollie fs way easier lmao wat
