## What this trick is

Pop-shuvit is a progression from the standard shuvit, but with the tail hitting the ground and popping into the air as it initiates it's rotation.

## Before you try it

You should be able to do a stadard shuvit without the tail hittitng the ground, and be confident at an ollie. Being good at hippie jumps helps too!

## How to do it

1. **Foot position** - Similar an ollie: back foot centre of the tail, front foot just behind front bolts.

2. **Weight** - Keep your weight even over both feet.

3. **Jump** whilst flicking the tail down towards the ground.
4. **Scoop** just before the tail makes contact with the ground, and use your front foot to gently guide the rotation as it moves up and out of the way.
5. **Keep your feet above the board** as it rotates 180
6. **Catch the board** with both feet and land!
 
## Common mistakes

- **Weight too far forwards** - board shoots back (and vice-versa). Keep your weight even over both feet.
- **Trying to use the front foot** to rotate the board. The front foot gently guides as the back foot does most of the work!

## How to know you've got it

Consitently getting a strong pop that bounces the board high into the air. You can catch the board mid-air and land moving forwards without tic-tacking.
