"How you doing there? I'm Simon Bingham. This is No Comply Skate Shop in Austin, Texas, and I'm going to tell you how to do a shuvit on a skateboard. What you're going to want to do is first learn how to get comfortable on a skateboard. Know how to roll around, turn and all of that. And then also, preferably, be able to do an ollie. But you don't have to be able to do, because you can just do a whippet. And that's using your back foot. And as you lift up the pressure on your front foot, you kick your back foot to the side, shoving the board around 180 and landing back on it. Or, if you do know how to do your ollies, you can pop the tail just like an ollie, but this time, like the whippet on flat or the shuvit on flat, you want to kick your back foot out as you pop around and then catch it with your front foot. Land with your knees bent. Roll away with a smile. And that's how you do a shuvit on a skateboard."
