How To Pop Shove-it.

 When i started skateboarding and i was able to stand on the skateboard and i could do an ollie the first trick i wanted to learn was a pop shove-it. A pop shove-it is essentially when your skateboard does a 180 under your feet. The pop shove-it is one of the most basic tricks you can do so learning it doesn't really take much, you need to be able to stand on your board and ride it comfortably and you need to be very comfortable with your ollies. For foot placement when starting a pop shove-it you are going to have your back foot at the end of your board but hanging your toes off the front just a bit and your front foot is going to be opposite to that as it will be hanging off the back of your skateboard so your heel will be of a bit. When your feet are in the right positions when preparing the pop shove-it bend down like your going to do an ollie and just when your going to pop give your back foot a little scoop back and the board will start turning under you. When you see the grip tape come back around stomp your feet down on the board and roll away. Your back fool is what is spinning the board and your front foot is sort of like a guide for your board. Your feet will do sort of a scissor kick but its mostly in your back foot and when the board is spinning try and stay over top of your board.
