This street skateboarding trick works well on banks, ditches or very sloped driveways. It is similar to a 180 Shove It only as a revert. Basically you'll roll up a slope, do a nose 180 Shove It, into a wheelie and kickturn. It sounds complicated but it is actually easy enough for beginner skaters to try.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Learn to do a regular 180 Shove It well. Then do it while rolling up an easy slope or bank. Though this trick is not hard, you want to be sure you have good control of your board. Place your forward foot at in the center of the board's nose, pointed forward. Put the back foot over the rear wheels.
Step2
Get up to a good speed and head onto the bank or slope with your feet in the basic Shove It position. As you approach the top of the wall, begin the 180 Shove It. Go into a slight crouch and flick the board with your front foot to get it pivoting around the front wheels while at the same time you jump over the board.
Step3
Watch the board closely while it finishes the pivot. Make the ball of your back foot land on the center of the board's tail in a perfect position for a manual or wheelie.
Step4
Stall in the manual then swing the board back around in a Frontside Kickturn. That's where the trick really takes it and goes up a few notches on the coolness scale. Just catching the board in the manual and immediately reversing its direction in the kickturn is amazing.
