How to Land a 180 Shove-It Without Chicken Footing It
- 1). Locate a smoothly paved area that doesn't have a high flow of traffic. Grip the curved nose of the skateboard with your nondominant hand. Take a few steps forward before dropping the skateboard onto the ground.
- 2). Jump on top of the skateboard with your feet spread about 2 feet apart. Bend your knees to balance as the skateboard rolls forward. Place your back foot on the curvature of the tail.
- 3). Align your leading foot toward the center most area of the skateboard. Shift your body weight to your back foot while pushing down on the tail. Jump as hear the tail make contact with the riding terrain.
- 4). Kick your lead foot forward to initiate the 180 shove-it. Slide your back foot in the opposing direction to rotate the skateboard. Lift your shoes as the board turns 180 degrees below you.
- 5). Extend your lead foot forward to catch the rotating skateboard. Lower your back foot onto the tail. Bend your knees to absorb the landing of the 180 shove-it.
