Omar Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hello, To those of you who can not read the title, I need help with pop-shovits on my skateboard. I pop my tail, the board goes up, I make it turn ( I'm not going to use "shove it" because this sounds wrong enough already), and it lands a mile away. Or I land it only with 1 foot. If you need the information, I'm goofy and I have a 7.3 inch deck. My trucks are insanely loose (can't tighten them, one of my kickpins is bent and it won't turn even with an electric screwdriver.) and one of my bushings is broken :-w . Anyone have a sucky set like mine that can help me? Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude? Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you? Camera guy: still laughing Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy Camera guy: runs away still laughing Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity? Comes out of Satan, mother[bleep]er! nn--ngh! pushes Camera guy down Camera guy: Hoooholy [bleep]! Matt: FUNNY ISN'T REAL! FUNNY ISN'T REAL!

zaquierming Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Pop it with your foot on the back corner area, on the edge of the skateboard and sort of curl it when you pop it, then push it out as normal and make sure you don't bend too much or you'll lean forward and the board will go off in another direction. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamblingfool Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Pop shuvs are all about back foot. you want your toes hanging off the tail pointed out. When you pop, also push behind and like zaquier said, add a curl. It's like a pressure flip, but your front foot stops it from actually flipping. Lift yo feetz, land. Or you can do it the easy way and leave out the pop and just kinda lift and push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd actually recommend starting off just learning a shove it because you seem to be having trouble landing as well as popping. I'd get the shove it down and then go for the pop shove it, should be easier on you. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

cocacolabottle Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Ok first off all, buy new trucks or a new kingpin and tighten your trucks, it's waaay to difficult with loose trucks. I can't really explain without seeing what your doing wrong first, but I'll take a guess and assume that you are not jumping forward enough, since most people don't do that. Just when you pop your tail jump forward a lot and just a little bit sidewards, that should get you landing on your board (if you got the pop right lol). If it don't work check out this site, it's the official Transworld website they have loads of tricktips on there. 99 Slayer since August 2007.

ThoseTheBrokes Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Quite a lot of people skate =o What happened to that skating thread? I think it died.. I'd recommend buying a new deck, yours sound pretty used up, and practice practice practice :wink: The advice above is spot-on. My dA account..retired, as of the 1st January 2008.

Sam Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 First,buy new bushes and kingpins before you even think about try to do the trick. Also good grip tape helps. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharockslayer Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Go outside and practice. You aint going to learn it from reading forums. I could know, I did everything they told me to do on the forums. But I couldn't get the hang of it. So I just practiced, and got it nailed. Interrested in joining the cabbagy madness?

Omar Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Ok, I bought my friend's almost brand new Relliks. They're way tighter, and I almost landed it, except on the side of the board, resulting in the board smacking my shins. Thanks for the help! Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you.

Mazpot Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Bruised... Pop shoveits are fairly easy not a great deal to explain about them. Btw im a roller not a boarder I attempted to launch a fart, only to have it get stuck between my cheeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why people can't just accept that one does one thing and that they want to stick with it. I landed shove-its and pop-shove-its frequently enough now. Thanks everyone.
