How To: Pop Shove It

"How To" video number 18: Pop Shove It aka Shuv It, Shuv, Pop Shuv, Shove It, Pickle Twist
This time around I tackle the oft requested, Pop Shove It. This is a super fun trick and also considered one of the basics. If you can get this trick down you are well on your way to understanding the fundamentals of the 'scoop' and keeping your board level.
Just remember: It's all about the scoop and keeping your board level. Your backfoot does most of the work and your front foot catches the board, keeping it all wrapped up in a tight little bundle.
I hope you have fun learning this one, it's not too bad!
If you need any specific help just leave a comment and I'll try my best to explain things more.
Thank you for watching!
P.S. I am going to make a video explaining my absence and plans for the future soon. I meant to put it up before this but I just got my wisdom teeth out and I can barely talk!

This comment is for anyone who's main obstacle is fear. Just 2 weeks ago I was still thinking I would never land a pop shuvit. I've always wanted to be a pro skater and the fact that I was so scared to land it made me so frustrated. My biggest fear was landing preemo and falling backwards or the board sliding out from under me. This fear wouldn't let me commit. This plus being relatively over-weight made me want to give up. This is me telling anyone who feels this way right now, don't give up. There's no one way to overcome the fear of commiting. The only thing you can do is really really try. But if your curious on how I landed my first one, my little brother had pissed me off so I ran outside and skated off. I was so angry I didn't even care so I really went for it. I landed with just my back foot for the first time. That have me enough confidence to commit and I landed it. 2 weeks later I was scared again and just overcame the fear today. If anyone wants help just reply I'll try to give the best advice I can, good luck!! Update: I have since landed a kickflip and can ollie into 5050s, my kickflips are extremely inconsistent because they're still sketchy to me but I can do them 🤣

[@oceanflare5502]

I know what you mean. There is a part of the brain called," fusiform face area." this part of the brain has a job to look for faces in objects or people. In this case, what you see is a sad house (2 windows for eyes and the porch railing as the sad mouth), but what I see is just a normal house. I was once one of those kids who wondered why the outlets look like faces. I would often get creeped out by them.

After getting the scoop motion down, i tried landing it on grass to eliminate the fear of somehow hurting myself and it really helped me out. After a few landed ones on grass you feel more comfortable with it and commiting on flat is a lot easier. Keep in mind that scoop motion, having to jump a little bit forward and you'll land it quickly

i can pop and shuvit it just fine, my biggest problem is catching it. i usually only catch it with the tips of my toes and it flips over, or land on the board so awkwardly i need to step off. i'll also mention it only happens to me while moving. I can get a stationary one in a try or two.

[@basementmicrowave3989]

Did you land it yet?

The reason is that moving pop shuvits are very different from stationary ones, while moving you dont need to jump forward as much. thats the biggest difference.

My consistent tricks are frontside 180s, fake shuvs, fakie front 180, fakie front 360 when I'm completely warmed up, normal shuvs when I'm completely warmed up, and boardslide. tricks I don't have consistent are pop shuvit but I can still do them 5/10 times, switch frontsides, half-cab, backsides, 50-50, and Nollie shoveit.
