dude…to kickflip wile rolling you need to flip and flick your foot straighter than standing still.
try really hard to flip straight of your nose !! and make sure of that little flick from your toes.
good luck.

hi dude.
this is very normal in learning those tricks.
it takes time and effort to get the control of your feet and board at the same time.
just work at it and dont give up.
try to kick of the edge less be softer..
good luck mate.

 

hey mitch my friend and i are having problems with the pop shuv it and could you give us some advice.

we can get the flick but land we only land with one foot on,mostly front foot.

hi mate.
the problem your having is not enough commitment you have to jump forward onto it.
dont be scared try it on grass first or carpet than take it to cement.

good luck buddy.

hey keanmiles, Im no where near as good or knowledgable as Mitch, but here are my thoughts on what you may be doing wrong.

Even though you are not trying to scoop the back foot, you may have your toes too far off the board causing a natural scoop. If you try to jump forward (forward as in to the front of your body, not towardrs the nose) this will encourage the board to spin even more.

Is the board spining frontside or backside varial?

Try popping straight down in the center of your tail. smile

 

it is frontside
