Shown for a regular-footed rider riding fakie. Teal ring + arrow = the rider's facing direction; teal band = the tail; a dot is where a hand holds the board - bright yellow for the front hand, amber for the back one, which is the whole difference between a mute and an indy. Board and rider rotate independently - each follows its own component. Drag to orbit.
How it works
A pop shove-it performed rolling fakie: the back foot (now at the leading end of travel) pops and scoops the tail toward the rider's heels, yawing the board 180 degrees backside beneath a square body. Rolling backward means the scooped tail swings with the direction of travel rather than against it, which makes this among the easiest popped tricks and a standard first shove variant.
Step by step
- Roll fakie with the back foot on the tail and front foot behind the front bolts.
- Crouch slightly, shoulders locked square.
- Pop and scoop the tail heel-ward, exactly as in a regular pop shove-it.
- Hop and let the board yaw 180 under you, drifting naturally with the fakie roll.
- Catch the grip with both feet, land over the bolts, and keep rolling fakie.
Body mechanics
| Front foot | Hovers over the deck midline and catches the swapped nose end. |
|---|---|
| Back foot | Pop-scoops heel-ward; the fakie roll adds forgiveness to the timing. |
| Shoulders | Square to the board; no rotation. |
| Arms | Relaxed, slight lift with the hop. |
| Gaze | Down at the board through the spin, then over the leading shoulder. |
