How do you use 360 fs pop shuvit?
The 360 pop shovit can be done front side and back side both. The 5 step guide below describes the front side shuvit. Most skateboarders prefer the fs because it is much easier to pop the board from it’s tail. However the real test according to us is to it bs or the backside.
We mostly prefer backside which requires to scroop the board from its nose and not its tail. Frontfoot is the one doing all the job here. The backfoot is placed facing the rim of the board close to the nose, whereas the front foot is placed in line with the skateboard, facing the nose. You pop from there, the board roates 360 and you land along.
