wrong sided shuvits???

[tybhugeye]

How do you shuvit backwards (like when the board spins on your back side)? everytime i try to pivot i fall or stop.

[tao man]

I think these are called inward shuvits? Quite a hard trick. Very hard to explain too. I find the shuvit to be very different from the pivot when spinning inward. For the pivot I found it easier if, after leaning forward to pop the tail up and starting the spin, I lean uphill. But for the shuvit I just stay centred and spin the board under me. It takes alot of practice to get the board to stay under your feet when you spin it, i think it is something you have to figure out yourself.

Same way you do a shovit, just you kick your foot the other way...

[smallss]

they're FS shuvs, not inward shuvs. Practice, practice, practice. Look steezy as hell once you get 'em down. A lot harder on longer boards-- if you're working with a tail, give that puppy some pop.

Are you purposely resisting our help?

You need to clarify your issues first...

I will say it again, but with some editing. Same way you do a nose shovit, just you kick your foot the other way...

Practice. Don't expect to get bomb at it on the first day.

i have never done done a shuvit with my back foot on a longboard. I have seen people do it but figured it was much more common on a longboard to do them front footed and i've relized that it takes practice but some hints can help along the way.

[Cann0n]

Ok...

Here is a break down.

One foot goes on a nose or tail. The other foot goes around the middle. Adjust your weight so the tail or nose gets depressed and lifts the opposite side of the board off the ground. (like a manual, aka wheelie) During that motion, slide your foot off the board in the direction you want your board to go and leap upward off the board slightly. If you do it with the right amounts of force and timing, the board will pivot around and you try to catch it with the same foot you pushed it with, as you land on the board.

This works with regular, goofy, fakie, nose-side and tail-side.

because of the motion of fs shuv's, they're going to be a lot tougher on a 56" deck.. hell, a shuv is tough on that amount of board.. if you can stick one, I'd love to see some footy. only real advice I can offer is put a ton of pressure on your back foot -- really all the pressure you can.

if im correct

in street skating that would be a Switch Fakie Back Side(normal shove) Shove-it


questions

are you goofy or regular?
when you go to do the trick your talking about are you in your normal stance just standing on the front of the board?
does the board spin behind you or infront?

aye! you be correct

and its backside. things that are/go in back of you are backside and things that are/go in front of you are frontside.

edit: you were probably being sarcastic but a switch fakie = nollie.

[smallss]

I'm pretty sure that kid is wrong -- thats a nollie bs shuv.

lol holy cow this thread. so much terminology for a simple trick. I guess not so simple since its a on 50"+ board.

[d-dub]

I'm pretty sure that kid is wrong -- thats a nollie bs shuv.

well yeah, thats what its titled. but its the same basic thing going regular, fakie, switch, or nollie.

[JohnW]

thats what i thought at first, but then i realized technically a nollie is a fakie ollie, so for it to be nollie it would be a nollie bs POP shove-it, because the board leaves the ground

a nollie is not a fakie ollie.

regardless, either way, your shuv is gonna require either foot to kick down and out forward. practice that. going fakie or regular or whatevs. remember to keep your weight above the board.

thanks for all the help guys and the ramble on termenology so i can sound smart while i do it

Terminology fail. Everyone here needs to sit and read some skate mags for a few hours or maybe play some Tony Hawk.
