Helpful Tricks To Know

Pop-shuvs should be the first tricks you learn after an ollie and is a helpful trick to know for control of youre board

  1. First get one your board put you back foot as if you where going to do and ollie and put your back foot in a 75 degree angle in the center of your board.

  2. Similar to the ollie pop your board and instead of sliding your foot strait up slide it up and sideway (vertically) of your board this should give you a good flick motion if your not getting I flip just play around if your front foots position on the board till you get at least half a flick

  3. this is a very important rule when you are learning kickflips you want to take them step by step so instead of flipping the kickflip around and landing with one foot on it, it is much better to be able to flip it half way and land with both feet on it do that till you are able to flip at least half way and land on the board with both feet.

  4. when you are able to kickflip half way take it to one of the last steps try doing full kickflips into the grass while slowly riding towards the grass pop and do the same thing you would do with half a flip just give it a harder flip and absorb your feet into your body keep your eyes on the board and when you see the grip tape again land on your board

Remember practice makes perfect!
