The Pop Shove-It

The Pop Shove-It is a very fun trick, and is one of my favorites. I am almost ready to start on the Pop Shove-It myself. The first things you need to know is how to spin the board. This allows you to spin the board while having your foot on the tail. To do that, you need to scoop the back of the board. Now if you've got that done, you can work on the pop part. For that part, you need to push on the tail with all your might.  Next you slip your front foot off and then back on. This trick is one of those more practice less talking kind of trick. It is very simple to learn, and accomplish. I can't wait to get started on mine,

Pop Shove-It:

The Manual

The Manual is a huge balance instructor. You need balance in order for this trick to work. If you already have good balance, than this will be a cinch. You first need to practice this trick in another crack. When you've got a crack, put your back wheels in the crack. now push your tail down, and keep your tail from touching the ground. balance your weight out and try and hold your position for as long as you can. That's a stationary Manual. Now after you've mastered that, (Which will probably take you a couple days to master) go to a long stretch of road. Go as fast as you can, and then do the Manual. Its an easy trick to learn, but its a matter of practicing.
