Shove-its
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are three core, notoriously acknowledged, styles and methods of the performing of Shove-its, They are as follows:
- Freestyle Shove-its
- Street Shove-its
- Pop Shove-its
There are many variations of the Freestyle Shove-it and the Pop Shove-it, and they all follow the same principles: The skateboarders lead foot stays in one spot, and their back foot does the shove.

[edit] The Shove-it
Shove-it is a skateboarding trick where the skateboarder makes their board spin 180 degrees under their feet.
A shove-it is performed by standing on the board, jumping up a bit and pushing the tail down and to its side. Even though the tail should not touch the ground and the board should not lift off the ground more than about an inch the board should quickly spin 180 degrees. The skateboarder then catches the board with his feet after it has completed the 180 degree rotation and lands on it.
360 shove-it is a variation of shove-it where the board spins a full 360 degrees. Pop shove-it is a variation of both the ollie and the shove-it. A 360 shove-it combined with a body varial in the same direction is called big spin.
The 540 variation of this trick was invented by Rodney Mullen back in 1979, meaning that he was the first person to land a 540 Shove-it.
[edit] Execution
One of the most basic tricks, second only to the ollie, in Skateboarding. This is a mere 180 degree rotation of the skateboard either in front of you (Backside Shove-It) or behind you (Frontside Shove-It) using your back foot (right foot for regular stance, left for goofy stance) to push the board gently without coming far off the ground, if off at all. Almost all tricks that involve a Shove-It in any way (Varial Kickflip, Big Spin, ect.) are considered by some to be easier to perform in fakie or nollie stance (Rolling backwards) because the board turns in the direction you are rolling.

[edit] The Freestyle Shove-it
The Freestyle Shove-it is pretty simple because the skateboarder doesn’t have to do an Ollie. Spinning a board and landing back on it takes practice.
[edit] Execution
The front foot is adjusted to the end of the nose, the back foot is adjusted so that the toes are slightly over the edge of the tail.
The “shove” is with the skateboarders back foot, the front foot stays in the same spot without moving, like a guide.
The skaetboarder un-weights a bit, while putting pressure on the nose of their board. The skateboarder then uses the ball of their back foot to push the board around in front of them.
This trick is practiced by new-comers to the skatescene, to prepare themselves for learning Street Shove-its.
[edit] The Street Shove-it
The Street Shove-it is just a hop and a shove all at once. If the skateboarder has the freestyle shove-it dialled, then this one will be easy for them to learn
[edit] Execution
This time, the skateboarder keeps their front foot in their normal riding stance, but follow the same technique as the freestyle shove-it.
The skateboarder hops slightly while shoving the tail with their back foot keeping their front foot hovering over the board. They stop the boards rotation with their front foot, and when their front foot hits the board they put thier back foot on at the same time.
One key element for skateboarders to execute this trick to for them to make sure that they shove the board with the ball of their foot, so that the board will spin flat and smooth.
Practicing on smooth surfaces makes it easier for skateboarders to learn this trick. Sometimes a skateboarder will take their trucks off and practice the trick on the carpet first , so as to be able to learn the concepts of this trick.
[edit] The Pop Shove-it
A Pop Shove-it is a skateboarding trick that starts like an ollie, the skateboarder jumps up and kicks the tail down in order to get the board airborne but then also pushes the tail of the board clockwise or counter clockwise in order to get the board spinning.
During a Pop Shove-it the board gets higher in the air than during a normal shove-it and thus it can be performed while jumping over obstacles. Like any rotating trick, the pop shove-it can be performed frontside or backside, the directions being named in the same fashion as 180 ollies. Unmodified, the name usually refers to a pop shove-it.
Varial Kickflips, Varial Heelflips, Hardflips, Inward Heelflips, and 360 Flips are all common tricks combined with the pop shove-it. In the case of the Varial Heelflip, it is a frontside pop shove-it, and in the 360 flip it is a 360 degree version of a pop shove-it.
The pop shove-it was originally called a ty hop, named after Ty Page. It is still referred to as a ty hop in many parts of Europe.

[edit] Late Pop Shove-it
Late Pop Sove-its are similar to a late flip, this trick combines an ollie with a pop shove-it, usually frontside, with the skateboarder delaying the shove-it until the ollie is at its peak.[1]
