He Skate 9
Hey watsup. My name is Drew. I’m a 16 year old skater from New Jersey. I have been skating since November of 1999 although injuries and baseball have kept me out for quite an amount of that time, over a year. I skate with a bunch of friends, some better, and some worse. The point of me making this site was to hopefully get my name out there and to help and get help from other skaters. If there are any questions, comments, or advice, please email me at Homegrownkid29@hotmail.com. I will list the tricks that I can do, and how I do them. If you’re looking for some extra advice on these tricks, email me. I will also list the tricks I am trying to do, and why I’m screwing up. If you have any advice for me, email me. Oh, and to explain the title, He stands for Habitat and Etnies, Skate is obviously there because that's what I do, and 9 is my lucky number.
Dec. 6 - Wow, over half a year it's been. That's insane. I got so much better skating, i probly couldn't name the new stuff i can do, cuz i learned it so long ago. Hmm, let's see. Almost getting back lips, front boarding the down part of the middle rail second try, and often. Front 50-50ing the middle rail first try almost every time. Back 50-50ing the middle rail now, and Front 50-50ing just the down part. Err, got more consistant on a lot of my tricks. Learned back and front 180s off the side of the box. Got back inward heelflips, and half-cab heels. Madd close to backside heel, and getting close to hardflips. Switch front boards like a mother, and probably a whole bunch more. Except that's all done now. I went back to the orthapedic, cuz my wrist has been bothering me, and it turns out i have two torn ligaments. I'm getting surgery the 23rd, and i will have pins in my wrist for 8-10 weeks, with a cast or bandage over it. After that i will have physical therapy for 2-3 months, and the surgery might not have even worked. Even if it does work, i can lose up to 50% of the mobility in my wrist, for life. And the whole thing with the getting surgery is that if i dont, i will eventually get arthritis, and it will move throughout my entire wrist, and they will have to fuse it together, rendering it completely useless. So basically this sucks. I will miss some to all of baseball season, i wont be able to skate at all, for the whole time, i wont be able to work out, and i wont be able to play guitar. i wont even be able to play video games. i probly wont be able to type good either. So basically i am going to sit at home and watch tv all day and probly gain like 50 pounds. this sucks so bad. But maybe itll give me some incentive to update the tricks now, providing i can type okay. so yea, just thought i'd write that down, cya.
May 2 - I been skating more often, although im afraid to go all out and hurt myself cuz of basebal. I started landing front bluntslides on the square rail, which is pretty damm sweet, but they are really not that hard. I started trying backside lipslides, now they are really, really hard. Oh, and a cupl weeks ago i front boarded the botom part of the fly box rail at the park, only my second time landing it, it was so sick, i felt so good. So, yea, just thought i'd share that with myself, later.
April 18 - I went to the incline club today, an indoor park, and i sucked. I didn't like the street course, mainly cuz it sucked and i couldn't do anything on it, so i left, went to howell's skatepark, and tore it up. I 50-50ed the entire fly box rail for the first time, and did a backside 5-0 on the bleacher, beautifully, with my new blank, which is sick. And i'll start updatin more now, even though i'm the only one reading this, yea, later.
April 16 - Wow, long time, no updates. I know, i suck. Its all good tho, cuz like, yea. Okay, baseball and school have been keeping me busy, so that's my excuse. I've been bumming old decks off people, and actually still progressing, even with baseball, but i'm buying a new blank tomorrow maybe. Landed some nice new tricks, including nollie 50-50s and nollie back lips. Yea, ill try to update more, maybe. Later.
Jan. 30 - I snapped my Zero on a kickflip cross-footed landing, right in the middle. It's okay, my friend gave me his old alien workshop so its all good. I've been working on my switch stuff, and I'm getting better. Also, I'm still getting back some of my tricks that I lost before i injured myself, mostly grinds. Oh, and two weeks from tomorrow my cast comes off, hell yea! Okay I'm in school so I'll stop now, but I'm looking to start updating more, and making the site better. So for whoever's been coming, thanks, and please continue, because it will get better. And tell your friends too, thanks. Later.
Jan. 17 - Wow, its been a long time. Sorry about no updates, but no one comes here anyways. Well anyway, about ten days after my last update, november sixth, i went to the pnc bank in brick. theres this gap the goes, sidewalk, grass, road. the grass goes down so its a drop too. well i just got there, busted some flat tricks, ollied the gap, and was setting up for the frontside 180. shudave been no big thing, but i was a little scared, never having tried it before. so i go three or four times, didnt land it. I go again, and instead up throwing my hands up in the air like i shudve, i kept them close to my body. So i 180, then rotate just a little too far. I go to to land, but since the board is kind of overturned, i skid off of it. So now i go to break my fall, with my hands tucked in my body instead of in a push-up position like they shud have. That screwed me all up, and the right hand went down first, straight out too. I land on it, it collapses, and all of my weight goes on top of it. So that gives me an evicular fracture in my wrist, i wore a long arm cast for a month (which meant i couldnt move my elbow) and ive had a short arm for a month so far, and ive got another month to go. Man that sucked. So i didnt skate with the long arm, but ive been back for a month, as much as i can, what with school and stuff. My zero has a crack in the middle, and looks pretty beat. Good thing i got cash. Im gona try to update more, but its all good, no one reads it anyway. If anyone actually is reading this, dont worry, i will have it up eventually. And if you want to email me for tips for a trick that hasnt been written yet, feel free, my email address is listed above. well thats all, later.
Nov. 6 - I snapped the element back board to fakiein the down part of the middle rail. It happened a while ago, but i guess i landed too hard on back foot, and the nose snapped right off. Then i took my sister's kmart piece of crap, put my trucks on it, and went back to the park the next day. I snapped it on an ollie in like a half-hour. God that sucked. Then my friend gave me his old lib tech board, which aside from the fact the the nose is pointed and the tail is warped to hell, its not bad. I haven't snapped that, but I bought a new deck anyway. I needed something with pop. I got a Zero Jamie Thomas Cross. Its sick. I'm learnin all these new tricks that I've either never even tried before, or have landed a couple times, but never worked on them. Stuff like nollie heels, nollie backside 180s, frontside overcrooks, front noseslides, front lips, and i've almost got the 50-50 on the entire middle rail. Yeah. I'm all sore from working out monday n skating hardcore tuesday, but i'm goin to the park agen tomoro all day, cuz we got off. later.
Oct. 16 - I snapped it. I went to the park with another board, and was just like, im gona break it today. I started trying lips, but i kept bailin out, cuz i was afraid the board was gona snap hard in the middle and i was gona fall and hurt myself. So i just started jumping on the ends, and i let my friends jump in the middle to finish it off. Now i'm ridin a like 2 year old element. Its actually not a bad deck. Im definately going back to element after this deck. Still havent gone to the high school yet, was thinkin about doin it today cuz we had a half-day, but it rained like all hell. Its all good tho, i worked on my THPS3 skills, lol. Later.
Oct. 5 - I haven't gone to the high school agen yet, which sucks, cuz i wana do that 8 so bad. But whatever, its all good, cuz now i can just go to the skatepark which is madd close to my house. It kinda sucks, theres a square rail, not too high, easy to do stuff on, then theirs a square rail with a kink, and it starts out higher than the other one, then drops to the same height as the straight one. Theres a quarter pipe close to the fence, and a bank at the opposite side, and in the middle of the two there is a two sided fly box, with a square rail that starts out as soon as the rise ends, and goes straight throughout the middle, then cuts an angle downward down the drop. Then there were two benches outside, but now one of them is in the skatepark, and their are three rows, the first one is pretty low, madd easy, the second one is higher, but still doable, i dont no about the third, youd have to be able to ollie madd high. i learned two new tricks yesterday tho, so im happy: double kickflip and frontside boardslide. im working on getting my backside flips back, cuz i def lost em, and tryin lipslides without snapping my board, cuz every time i do it, i put another crack in it, lol. later, have fun skatin.
Sept. 25 - Howell's Skatepark is GAY, don't go there if you happen to live around until it opens this sunday. There's been like 25 kids at a time in there all week long, cuz they put the stuff in, but haven't opened it. And today, after my friends and i had been skating for like 2 hours, some jackass cop shows up, actin like he's some big tough guy comes and everyone hops the fence, and he goes, everyone, right here, now. So we walk over, and he starts givin us this bs about tresspassing and going the the Freehold Juvenille Jail or whatever. And then the fag takes down all of our names, numbers, and addresses, like 12 of us, and calls all our parents to tell them we were trespassing. Jackass. The freakin director of parks and recreation or whatever was there the other day watchin us skate for gods sake. Whatever, it was so gay, and now i cant skate for two days cuz my parents punished me lol, so ill probably be updating a lot. later. have fun skatin.
Sept. 21 - Alright if anyone lives near howell, and knows where the high school is, check it out. The new additions there kick ass. There's two 5 stair's, one with so much push that it's insane, and the other where you have to push yourself off the wall, but it's still doable. Then before the good 5, there is a 6 with perfect push. And the 5 with the wall push leads into an 8, and the 8 has perfect push just like the 6. Then to the side of the 5 and 8, the is a 10 stair with just as much push as the 8 (which is more than enough). And then there is a 4 with about one push worth, which is doable, and a 2 with the same amount. I went today and only tried the 4, 5, and 6 (i wasn't even gonna bother with the 2, thats pathetic), and landed them all. I was trying to 180 the 5, but i couldn't f'n stick it. O well, its all good, it was madd fun n im goin back next weekend to try the 8, and if things go well, possibly the 10. I will no longer call Howell High Hellwell, it now officialy kicks major ass. later, have fun skatin.
On a side note, I have now snapped two decks, both being habitats. One was on lipslides, which is understandable, but the other was on a nollie, and it was only two weeks old, and that pissed me off. So now im riding a madd old habitat (my last one!), and then im going back to element. This habitat is practically covered in pressure cracks, and there is some actual breakage on the side of the board, about halfway up. And if i do what i said i'm going to do in the above note, then i think that board is done. But don't be discouraged to buy habitats now, because stuff like that happens to all skaters, with all different brands. Habitats just don't work for me well, so im going to try something different. Right, okay, later.
Aug. 28 - Aright heres the deal, my bad about not updating the site in forever, which is why i have so little hits, but i was busy with baseball, and then i stopped skating for a cupl months after that cuz of a knee condition that had been getting constistantly worse. But now its August 28th, and im hoping that my knee will hold up, cuz i just bought a brand new habitat complete from blades. There is going to be a skatepark opening in Howell, in Deerwood Park, September 28th, so i got a month to get my skills bak to go that park, even tho its probly gona suk. Whatever, its all good, ill start adding some more tips, and trying some new tricks, so look for updates in the very near future. In some time, most likely a long time from now, this page will kik ass, but until then, please wait patiently. Any hate mail can go to Itsallgood09@hotmail.com. Thanks, have fun skating.
Tricks
Consistant
ollie - For this trick, pracice. The more you ollie, the better you will get at it. Try different setups with your feet. I like to keep my back foot at the very end of the tail, with my heel slightly raised up. my front foot is very close to my back foot, about 2.5 to 3 inches. I feel this gets the front up really high. The toes of my front foot are halfway across the board, and my heel hangs off. Now its very important that you stay balanced during the ollie. If you are not balanced with the way your feet are set up, change them because you will not even come close to your ollie potential. When you find a comfortable set up, slam your back foot straight down on the tail. As you slam down, slide your front foot up the board. Slide your foot as far as you can go, because if you slide too high, you may lose control of the board. As your front foot reaches its highest potential, lift your back foot up. Though your back foot my not actually be on the board during the entire trick, as long as your foot stays straight, the back of the board will follow. Now as both feet are leveling out, suck them up as high as you can. If you look at pictures of pros in magazines or online, you will see that some of them have their knees touching their shoulders. The higher you suck, the higher the board gets. Once you feel you are as high as you can go, slam both of your feet down at the same time. As you land, bend your knees to absorb the impact. If you are ollieing decks, you will need too ollie about a foot before you reach then so your board has time to get over them. Remember, this trick must be done all in one motion, and I recommend trying it standing still first, and working your way up objects and over gaps. I can do five decks.
ollie stairs - This trick requires the same rules as the ollie, except since you are ollieing down and out, there will be some minor changes. You will need to gather some speed to ollie stairs, but something as small as a 3, or even a 5 stair doesn't require that much. When you have your two feet level and sucked up, push out with your front foot to gain distance. Since you are ollieing from a height, as you land, bend your legs far so you crouch to absorb all the impact of the drop. Now ollieing stairs is not an easy trick, it requires a lot of balance and some self-confidence. So don't go trying a 10 stair first thing, start with ollieing off curbs, then 2 stairs, then 3, and so on and so forth. Work your way up, and wear some pads, preferably wrist guards for stairs, they really do help. The most stairs I have done is 6, and i'm planning on upping that very soon, if you read the above note.
fakie ollie - The fakie ollie is an ollie while riding backwards. It can also be thought of as a switch nollie, but most people say fakie ollie. Learn how to ride fakie first, then try ollieing. For the fakie ollie, make sure you are balanced and going straight. This is important so you will be able to keep rolling after you land. Now this trick is like the ollie, except one major thing. Your back foot cannot lift straight up, or forward (as some people tend to do while ollieing. If you are into the whole skateboarding is physics and stuff, you should already know what to do. If you are riding forward, your back leg comes straight up or forward. So now you are riding backwards, and since I already told you that you can't lift your back leg straight up, there is only one possible answer. Your back leg lifts backward! But bear with me for a second while I explain to the people that are interested in learning the physics of skateboarding and why you can't lift your leg straight or forward. Well, the reason is that since your momentum is going backward, lifting your back leg straight up or forward would kill your momentum and cause you to fall or land extremely sketchy. Now, the trick... When you pop with your back foot, let your momentum take your foot on an angle backwards. This allows you to be able to get both feet level without flaw. Landing with both feet at the same time is okay, but i would recommend landing just a little sooner with your front foot. This is only because I tend to land more on my back foot, even when i try to do both at the same time, and landing on your back foot for the fakie ollie will cause you to fall or bail, because you will most likely not be able to control the board.
switch ollie - Do the same thing as the ollie except swith footed. If it seems like its taking longer to learn than the ollie, don't worry about that cuz its normal. Just keep trying n youll get it soon enough. And dont think your gona be able to swith ollie as high as you can ollie cuz i cant either.
nollie - Start by setting your feet up. Go like a swith ollie, but fakie. So slam down on your front foot and try to kind of push/drag/slide it forward as you are popping. This helps. Then slide your back foot to the end of the board and keep level. Now what the shuffeling of you front foot does is allow you to be able to level off and keep your body centered. The landing is different. I like to land a little more on my front foot because that's where i started out at, so that's where i think i should finish. But whatever floats your boat. Good luck and have fun.
manual - The manual; probably the easiest trick to do, even easier than the ollie. This trick is extremely complicated! What you need to do is push down on your back foot and keep balanced on your back wheels. After about a year you should pull this off... okay just playin about the complications and year stuff, but the more you practice, the longer you will be able to ride it out for.
nose manual - Okay now honestly, this trick is much harder than the manual. For those who have never tried it, it may look easy, but ask the people your watching, it's not. Now do the same thing you would for a manual, but with your front foot. Getting the back part of the board up is easy, balancing is the hard part. For the manual, you can turn slightly from side to side and still ride it. You can also scrape the tail and still ride the manual. Until you have mastered the nose manual, you will not be able to do those things. You need to stay straight and maintain complete balance. Just practice, practice practice. This is a good trick to practice as you are skating somewhere.
switch manual - Same thing as manual, just turn feet around. This should come a little easier than the manual did, but if it doesn't, don't sweat, just practice harder.
fakie manual - This one kinda frustrates me because i try it once every like 10 sessions (or whatever you like to call a day of skating) and i only ride it for like 3 seconds. But if I actually chose to practice this one, it would not be too hard. Just remember to keep your balance by staying straight. The distance will come.
ollie manual - For this trick, there are a variety of setups for your feet. Try a couple and find one that is comfortable for you. I like to put my front foot a little behind the screws and let the toes of my back foot hang off the edge of the board. Then ollie like you normally would but dont level out as much, try to keep more weight on your back foot side. Then try to come down on your back two trucks and ride it out as long as you can. You should start out by going slow, ollieing low, and landing on your tail. Then work into a balanced landing and moving faster and ollieing higher.
manual ollie - This is a fairly difficult trick, because of the beginning awkwardness, but after a while, it'll seem like nothin at all. This is a cool ending to a long manual. After a lot of practice, you could be pullin manual ollie to nose manual nollie shuvit manuals...thats sick. Well anyways, when first starting this trick, set up your feet like an ollie but do a manual. Manual as long as you can, then drop your front foot a little bit (for more momentum), then slam your back foot down and slide your front up, then finish like a normal ollie. Make sure when you drop your front foot, you don't scrape the ground, because that looks mad sketchy. After you've got that down, work on setting your feet more like a manual, then ollie, it looks better. You do need to have somewhat strong legs for this, so if your really dedicated, try stretching before and after skating, and maybe running a little bit. Have fun.
nose manual shuvit out - You really don't need to know how to hold a nose manual really long for this trick, but you definately need to be able to keep good balance for a few seconds at least. Knowing how to do nollie frontside shuvits would be a big help as well. So do a nose manual like you normally would, and when you feel like you can't balance any longer, lean forward slightly as you kick your back foot out, pulling the board into a shuvit, and slightly sliding your front foot in, helping the board out. As soon as you kick and slide, move your front foot up and forward and catch the board with your back foot, putting the front down immediately after to prevent the landing from looking sketchy.
nose manual nollie - Do a nose manual, but instead of having your front foot lie flat across the entire board, pick your heel up off the board and the ball of your foot in the center (like setting up for a nollie). It is also easier to move your back foot closer to your front, but whatever is comfortable. Now do your nose manual, and it is normal for it to not be as good or long as with your feet set up normal, and when your ready, slam on your nose, and do your nollie. Don't worry about not getting it high, with time and practice it will happen.
ollie decks off a box - The only thing different then ollieing two times, is that you don't have a lot of time to reset your feet. So the trick is to learn when you ollie, to slide your front foot back down the board after it slides up and you pop. Or you can just put a kicker up against the box and roll up. Also remember that when ollieing off the box, you are dropping more than you rose, so be prepared to absorb some impact. I can do three decks off a box, with a kicker, and two without a kicker.
ollie objects off a kicker - Set up some kind of object, decks, boxes, cartons, anything like that next to a kicker and try to ollie over it. Seems simple, but its not a cakewalk. You are rolling up a small bank, so more speed is needed, and since you need to ollie out and over the objects even more speed is needed. Also remember not to put the objects right up against the kicker because your board need some time, and therefore space, to get over the objects. Then ollie as your normally would, but make sure as soon as your nose comes close to the end of the kicker you need to ollie, or you'll get all screwed up. And another thing, leaning forward with body and board will help, because the angle of the kicker sometimes causes you to do and ollie that goes straight up, but not far.
bomb-drop off things - Okay, if you are goofy, hold the board by the nose in your right hand. If you are regular, hold the board by the nose in your left hand. Try to get some speed before you bomb-drop, or momentum at least if there's no more. The reason you need speed and/or momentum is because if you bomb-drop off things without it, you will land and fall forward, because the drop and land will kill the little force you have of moving, and you won't have enough momentum to continue moving forward. So get your speed, hold your board, then jump. I like to have my right arm (holding arm) dangling low and behind me so when i'm ready to jump, I throw my arm forward and the force coming back makes it easier to get the board underneath my feet. So as your feet leave the ground direct your board underneath your feet, and when you feel that the board is directly under you and you can control it with your feet, let go of the board with your hand and let it(your hand) drift back up to a normal position. After that land exactly like you would an ollie. Remember the higher you go the more you will have to absorb the landing.
bomb-drop flip - Start like you would the bomb-drop, but instead of bringing the board straight back underneath your feet, bring the board at a slight angle, maybe 45 degrees to the left of your right hand, or to the right of your left hand. Then you can flip the board in the kickflip direction with your hand and it should straighten out. Make sure you get your arm low for the flip so it will fall underneath your feet. Then finish up like a regular bomb-drop.
roll off ledges - For this trick, all you do is roll up to the ledge you want to roll off and lift your front truck up. Try to push your back truck forward a little so you make sure you still have enough speed to land and roll away. After you actually roll off the ledge, stay over your board exactly like you would ollieing stairs or regular ollies, and land likewise. Don't forget to absorb the impact if you're rolling off high objects. I don't really roll of high stuff any more cuz I can ollie down it, but if you haven't ollied steps yet, then rolling off is something to try, because it is similar to ollieing down things, meaning staying over the boarding and absorbing the shock. But this is something you gotta be able to do, cuz if you ollie an 8, then fall rolling off the curb, it kills the entire trick lol. Have fun.
ollie gaps - This is like a regular ollie, except the main thing here is speed, not height. So depending on the gap you're doing, determine the amount of speed you will need. For example, if the gap is 2 feet, you'll only need a couple pushes. But if you're trying a 6 footer or something, you need madd speed. And since you'll be going fast, you need to be able to control your board. So make sure when you ollie the gap, you can keep the board under your feet. Also remember that balance on the landing is a key factor, because since you are ollieing forward, it would be natural to lean forward, and if you do that, you'd land and be thrown off the board. So put more weight on your back foot when you land. have fun.
backside shuvit - This is a basic trick, and the third i learned, after the ollie and manual. For this trick, you do not ollie. An ollie shuvit would be a pop-shuvit, so a shuvit is sliding the board 180 basically on the ground. So set your feet like you would an ollie, but as soon as you push back on your back foot, kick your front foot out slightly, and your back foot in at the same time. Then lift your feet above the board, it wont be too high, and catch it after it spins the 180. The catching is probably the hardest part of the trick, because you have to catch it when its almost exactly straight, or you wont be able to continue rolling. And dont worry if this trick takes some time to perfect, its ok. And if your not getting the spin right, try different set-ups and different variations of kicking, whatever feels comfortable, later.
switch shuvit - This trick is the same as the shuvit, but switch. Therefore it should be fairly harder, and sketchiness is normal. Practice riding switch more and get more comfortable that way and the trick will look better
fakie frontside shuvit - This is a shuvit while rolling backwards. Do the same as you would a shuvit, but try to catch the board or at least but more weight on the popping foot. This way you won't land on your flip foot and have the board shoot out from under you.
nollie frontside shuvit - This trick, technically is a switch fakie frontside shuvit, but don't call it that, because you'll get made fun of, i just mentioned this in case some people were unsure or thought there was a difference between the two or something like that. Anyways, learning to nollie might help, but since you aren't actually nollieing for a shuvit (you nollie, or ollie in pop-shuvits) it is not absolutely necessary. So what you first is ride regular, start slow, and move your front foot on the nose like your back foot is placed on the tail, and your back foot into the middle of the board, where you would have it for a switch trick. If it feels more comfortable, you can put your back foot on the tail, but don't have it lifted like for an ollie, rest it flat. Now learn to feel comfortable in this position, and here goes. Start to press down on the nose of the board, but don't snap like a nollie. As soon as you feel the back trucks lift off the ground, slightly kick your back foot out frontside. It doesn't have to be a hard kick, as you will find out after trying this trick, but just enough to rotate the board. A very small kick backwards with the front foot will help. As the board completes the 180 turn, catch it with your back foot. You catch it with the back because the board does not have to be turned a full 180 degrees to catch and land. You can catch it and then let it drift the rest of the way or guide with your back foot. As soon as you see the board finish the full 180, put your front foot on. Now throughout the very short duration of this trick, lifting up your front foot to let the board spin shouldn't be a problem, because, as the board has not been popped in the air, it shouldn't have risen above where your foot was in the first place. Good luck and have fun. And after you get this trick, and if you know how to nose manual, try nose manual nollie front shuvs, they're easy and look good. later.
nollie backside shuvit - Get in a nollie position, start to press on the nose, and as soon as you do so, kick your back foot behind you. It shouldn't be a hard kick, nice and easy does the trick. Lift your front foot up slightly, and catch the board as it comes around, then put your back foot on.
backside pop-shuvit - One of the basics that you need to learn. Start in the ollie position, riding slow, and get ready to ollie. Slam on the tail, but instead of dragging your front foot straight up, slide out to the side, off the board, and then lift up. Lift your back foot now as well to let the board spin under you. Catch the board as straight as possible with both feet at the same time. Learn shuvits first, as they are almost the same thing.
switch pop-shuvit - Same thing as the pop-shuvit, but switch. I do this trick basically the same as the regular pop-shuvit, but it's possible that instead of spinning the board right under you, the board will go out away a little bit so you will have to jump out with it.
fakie pop-shuvit - Some people consider this trick easier than the regular pop-shuvit, so if you're having trouble with the pop-shuvit, check this trick out first. Ride backwards, pop on your tail like starting a fakie ollie, then instead of sliding your front foot out
nollie frontside pop-shuvit - The easier of the nollie pop-shuvits, the nollie frontside one should work almost exactly like the regular shuvit except you should get air. So set up exactly like a nollie frontside shuvit, but instead of just pushing slightly on the nose, pop like you would for a nollie. Then, kick your back foot up and out, but not past the end of the board, otherwise you will have trouble getting your back foot back on the board once it has spun. Lift your front foot up also, but make sure it goes straight up, and not out to the side. Wait for the board to complete its spin, and try to catch it with both feet at the same time.
nollie backside pop-shuvit - This should go exactly like a nollie backside shuvit, except with height. So set up nollie, slam the nose, and as soon as you do so, kick your back foot behind you. It shouldn't be a hard kick, nice and easy does the trick. Lift your front foot up and a little behind you, and catch the board as it comes around, preferably with both feet at the same time.
frontside 180 - I love this trick. They look madd cool when they are high and over objects. The main thing to remember, is not to ollie straight. From the very start of your ollie, as you slide your foot up the board, start to turn to the right slightly. Then as soon as your board leaves the ground, lead your back foot forward and your front foot back. Your shoulders should be turning as well. It is not likely that your beginning 180s will be high, so the spin must be fairly quick, and as you practice, and 180 higher, the spin can be slower. And if your not getting the full spin, tweak the turn of your board more at the beginning of the ollie. So once you manage to get all the way around, remember that in order to ride away, your weight must be distributed as well. So you must put more weight on what is now your back foot, but before the 180 was your front foot. I can 180 four decks and over numerous gaps.
