Skateboarding Tricks: Frontside Switch Pop Shove-It Foot Placement

Video Transcript

"So, the foot placement you'll need for the switch frontside pop shove it is fairly specific. What you're going to want to do is you're going to want to set up with your toe on the back corner of the nose. Remember, you're rolling switch so this is the back right now even though I said nose. So that is going to be in charge of sending the board over in a frontside way. The other foot that does the ollying is going to be, your toe is going to hang over slightly and the reason for this is that once this foot does the switch ollie it's going to head over that way and the front foot is going to do the switch ollie and send it back that way. So remember that's the reason why they're on opposite corners because it's in charge of sending the board frontside, but remember you've got to get your feet back into the switch position and this is what makes switch pop shove its a little hard because you're sending it over, but then you're keeping your stance continuous meaning switch, and rolling and landing fakie. So remember foot on the tip of the corner of the nose, foot, a lot of foot on the board and the reason why is to keep the board from flipping. You want to keep your toe holding the board so that it doesn't flip over and land primo or upside down. And then remember that the toe hangs over just to keep the board from going behind you and keep it steady. And that's the foot placement for a switch frontside pop shove it."
