Shown for a regular-footed rider. 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

The ollie-era shove-it: the back foot pops the tail down and simultaneously scoops it toward the rider's heel side, combining lift with a 180-degree backside yaw around the board's vertical axis. The board rises and rotates beneath a square, non-rotating body; the front foot hovers to cap the height and catches the grip as nose and tail finish swapping. Unqualified, 'pop shove-it' always means backside.

Step by step

  1. Set the back foot on the tail pocket with toes slightly hanging toe-side for scoop leverage.
  2. Place the front foot flat behind the front bolts, weight centered.
  3. Pop the tail down while sweeping it backside toward your heels in one motion.
  4. Jump evenly and let the board rotate 180 under your square shoulders.
  5. Catch the grip with the front foot as the nose swings under your back foot.
  6. Land over the bolts and roll away.

Body mechanics

Front footRises and hovers over the board's axis of yaw, then catches the deck to stop rotation.
Back footDelivers the pop-and-scoop: downward snap blended into a heel-side sweep.
ShouldersSquare throughout; rotating them turns the trick into a 180 by accident.
ArmsLoose at the sides, lifting slightly with the hop.
GazeOn the board through the spin, then ahead after the catch.
