Pop shuvs, front foot spin?

[SplinterSnow]

I've only landed a b/s pop shove it a few times but I just read that you are only supposed to use your back foot to spin, is this true? I'm goofy, but I doubt that makes much of a difference.

well, if its a pop shove it then no, you use both feet, you pop with your back foot and then you kinda move the board 180 with your front foot, its a wierd move, when you do pop shove its you pop down like you would for o ollie and in the air you turn it with your front foot, i hope it kinda helpped dude

I dunno, I scoop and pop with my back foot and just use my front toe of my shoe to keep the board under control. My back foot goes up and my front foot stays in the same position until I descend and land.

Mmmmk, thanks. Rain.. :(

you may just have to experiment, find witch way feels comfratable for you

I can do it now! I found that you need to spin the board quickly, if you do it slowly it will go to the side. Instead of popping with your backfoot you need to more like pop it to the side, once you can land it then you practice doing it higher.

i spin them with my backfoot. its a weird trick, you kinda twist a little before and during the popping part of it.

I'm sorta having a bit of trouble with them again. I can't find the thread I posted so I'll just write it here:

I think I'm spinning it too quickly or something. But I almost rolled my ankle today when my foot landed sideways on the tail and then slipped off. I tend to do the same as dsc: I don't use my front foot. All I do is lift it and catch it again. But I think I'm spinning it too quickly with my back foot so when I go to catch it, it's like already done a 270. Also, I can't get much height. But if I pop harder, I spin faster. I don't know how to stop it from spinning so hard....help?

pop it more straight down, when i do these really high i almost kick the tail straight down and just a little to the side. my front foot doesnt' do anything, just gets off the board and chills there till the board comes around

i use my back foot for everything so i dont really get much air when i do them. my front foot stays pretty far above the board.

using only your back foot for doing them has nothing to do with height and actually i dont' know anyone who uses their front foot on shove its, if you do it usually kicks the board to much to your frontside. height of a pop shuv is all how hard you pop the tail.
