A Frontside Pop Shove-It is a very important fundamental trick where the board turns 180 degrees but the body remains in the same position. The execution of the Frontside Pop Shove-it is very close to the one of a regular Pop Shove-It with the difference that your board is turning along the backside of your board.
This trick is the perfect entry into the world of flips. But even pro skateboarders are using this one often and you won’t regret having learned the FS Pop Shove-It.

1. The foot position is quite similar to an Ollie except you put your back foot a bit more on the outside of the tail to push it forward while popping the board.
2. As you pop the board and push it forward with your back foot, slightly move your front foot up and behind you.
3. While the board is turning bring both of your legs up and let the board spin 180 degrees.
4. Once the board has turned 180 degrees catch it with both feet over the bolts of the trucks.
5. Now land with your feet above the bolts and roll away clean.
6. The most important thing is to find the right timing and the right amount of power so that the board does a perfect 180 degree turn and doesn’t under rotate or over rotate.
