Learn how to progress your skating with the shuvit and pop shuvit, if you can roll on your board and do small Ollies, then you can learn this!

This one is all about the back foot. For the shuvit, the back foot sits right in the pocket and scoops the board. For the pop shuvit, the back foot sits more in the middle of the tail, kicking down to get the pop and then scooping back to get the board to shuvit.
