I can finally make a stationary pop-shuv-it :D

[Misterhamper]

Hello. After one month of skating, i guess it is, i can finally do a stationary pop-shuv-it. The strange thing is - i have such a hard time with landing my ollies (moving and stationary), but the pop-shuv-its are really easy to land. Dunno where i want with this thread - i just wanted to say that i'm glad now, i guess :)

Haha, yeah shuv-its are fun, probably the easiest trick. Pop shuvits are harder.

Grats man, just it would be better if you learned your stuff moving. gl hf.

[StevoElSupremo]

yeah shuv its are fun, especially off curbs

I did that too, doing stationary ones before moving. BIG MISTAKE. If you do stationary shoves before moving, you're going to have a hard time adjusting. In stationary shove its, you don't have to jump forward very much(physically forward.) In a moving one, you have to jump forward. I was stuck on moving shoves for a looooooooong time.

yer a learnt stationery im learning moving now nearly got it though

[shad0w]

I learned stationary tricks up until I got to varials...and moving didn't seem much harder than stationary.

are you people blind, he said POP-shuv-it...gj...try it in motion...

[loganownzj00]

^^ Well I meant pop shove it anyway.

i love pop shuvits. I learned them stationary but soon got them movin

[spenser]

you dont have to say pop for it to mean that you actually pop. a shove it pops. pop shove it is the same thing. most people just dont say the pop cause it doesnt actually matter.

if you do it without popping, its not much of a trick. you could call it a street shove it, or just.. i dont know.. spinning your board around. street shove its are truly really only used to get your board switched around, like if you just did some kind of trick where the nose ends up behind you and youre setting it back up so the nose is in front, like in a line.

a lot of people use shove its without popping though. Its used loads in freestyle. Saying shove it and pop shove it might not be right but thats what most people think they are nowadays. If you call a pop shove it just a shove it then people might end up getting confused...

Sometimes learning something stationary is a good idea. But sometimes a rolling trick is like a completely different trick from a stationary one.

Just think to yourself, "Is my end goal to do this trick stationary?"

if you do it without popping, its not much of a trick. you could call it a street shove it, or just.. i dont know.. spinning your board around.

So what did they call it before anyone knew how to pop? Shuvit and pop-shuvit are names for two tricks, they just refer to the same thing these days. Nobody says "ollie", referring to the trick Alan Gelfand invented. or however his name is spelled.

Yeah, I agree. Pop Shove-It's, and Shove-It's are two different things. I pop my Pop-Shoves really, really high. I love catching them mid-air. Whereas, with regular shoves, I do as spenser described: It's really only if the nose is backward.

Props on the pop-shoves, but they're really a trick you should learn moving. You should learn every trick moving, but pop-shoves especially.
