pop shuvit help me out

[mrmilkcarton]

ok well i was trying to pop shuvit and i have a porblem my board does the 180 but is in front of me..... also i seem to have a jumping problem when i pop then make the board 180 my back foot seems to be on the ground.....

Any suggestions on what i can do for the jumping and keeping the board closer to me.

ya, when i do pop shuvits my front foot kicks the board forward and im not sure if thats a pop shuvit, like the real way to do it. and it also does the 180 but i cant seem to land it

Scoop Harder with the Back foot, use the front foot only if you have to, this might be a reason you can't keep it under you....To jump just tuck your back leg in right under you, no need to scissor kick of anything.

alright ill try that out.

Put your back foot on the tail, with the ball of your foot on the toe edge, and your front foot doesn't bother where it is. But I like mine like a kickflip position and in the middle of the board.
Then just ollie and tuck your legs up and you'll be doing fine.

the reson yo're putting you back foot down is fear, subconcious fear, get over it. i had that problem too,

Yea its fear just try it in the grass and move on, thats how I got past it

when i do my backside pop shuv it i try not to lean back becuz then the board automatically wants to run away. try to keep ur navel right above the board then ur centered on top of it. when u pop the board try to keep ur foot on the opposite side of the way ur spinning ex if ur spinning to the right, keep ur back foot on the left to kick it to the right. when u kick it try to kick it sideways not foward. then just keep ur eye on the board and land and roll away.
