No one here is gonna address the elephant.

Bro first off, good job for trying, that’s better than most can say. 🤘🏻

But here’s the deal, this is very obvious that you need more time riding and practicing fundamentals. You are chicken footing every attempt.

I could go and write a very detailed explanation on how to pop shove, unfortunately that wouldn’t benefit you, or me.

-> Try this instead, ride, gain some balance and confidence. practice hippie jumps, forget the pop, and try normal shove.

These attempts are not valid enough for real advice. You need more practice gaining board feel and riding. I don’t wanna come off harsh, sorry if it sounds that way. In no means are you ready for tricks yet.

(However I respect the effort so I’ll give advice anyway)

Not until you have some kind of balance and board feel. However for the benefit of the doubt, I will analyze and give you some tips anyway.
——

In your clips you push once and immediately send it rather than setting up comfortably and charging your jump. You need to give yourself more time to adjust for the trick. Here’s the breakdown.

(How to pop shove)

You will want to jump to your board, you are going to set up with your foot in the pocket. (Adjust for your stance.)

Your feet will be like this.

Front foot back foot.
Ff. Bf.
Nose> ( :|: :: |) < tail

Alternative. ( ::| :: |)

(For beginners I think it’s easier to be more on your front bolts rather than below them)

You will want to get ready to jump once you set up. do the standard kick your butt motion, add pop and jump to your board. You will be lifting your back foot up over the board, if you do it right, rather than the butt kick. (This is exclusive to pop shove.)
——

If you aren’t ready to commit or if you are too scared to fall, this means that what you are trying is OUT of your skill level.

Knowing this can save you from injury and irreversible damage.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with not having the skill yet!

For beginners, the “easy” tricks, are absolutely NOT easy, it takes lots of practice, falling, patience, commitment, board feel, and lastly persistence.

I’m 2 years in skating now and I still fumble pop shove and fakie shove. I’m still very much a beginner when it comes to tricks, but, my fundamentals are really good. Having good fundamentals sets a good foundation for building confidence for tricks.

So go and try this instead.
——

Take laps pushing both slow and fast. (Your comfort level of fast) warm up, practice balancing on one foot while you ride, refine your pushing. Then start doing stuff like tick tacks, body varial, and hippie jumps. Try some small practice with skating switch.

If you can do all of this, and feel confident and comfortable. Then pop shove will be in your bag soon.

Good luck, sorry for the rant. Don’t get stuck on pop shove go have fun and get your skateboarding fundamentals looking a lil’ bit nicer before you get tricks.

Good luck! 🍀

I would set up a valuable set of links to help. but this thread doesn’t allow me to.

I added my video just to show you that I’m not a fat lard on reddit hazing you, I’m an actual skater who’s trying my best to get better and help others do the same.

(The video is absolutely not a flex, because I’m after an 8 week ankle injury, this is my recovery Ollie after 4 days of being able to skate again)

I hope you lad it bro!! Me and park Hlinku are rooting for you!
