How to Do a Frontside Shove-It on a Skateboard

Popping the board in the air, letting it spin beneath you and then regaining your footing before touching down should generate a few "oohs" and "aahs" from the crowd.

Difficulty: Moderately challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Skate Rails
• Skateboard Decks
• Skateboard Helmets
• Skateboard Pads
• Skateboard Parts
• Skateboard Trucks
• Skateboard Wheels
• Skateboarding Shoes
• Skateboards

1. Set your feet like you would for an ollie.

2. Pick a spot on the board for your front foot that is comfortable. Usually, the further back your front foot is, the higher it will go.

3. Push the tail down so it hits directly below you, but once it hits, push slightly forward and in front of you - which makes the board turn frontside under you.

4. Suck your legs up as you would for an ollie, and stay directly above the board as it turns under you.

5. Catch the board with your front foot once it has turned the full 180 degrees under you and is at the height of its flight.

6. Bring your rear foot back over the board as quickly as possible so both feet are on the board near the peak height of the trick.

7. Land with your feet over the bolts if possible.

Tips & Warnings

• Many people like to do this trick starting with the board backward, so it is done off the nose of the board. Both ways work.
• Skateboarding is an inherently dangerous activity that can result in serious injury or death. We recommend that you seek proper training and equipment before attempting this activity.
