Hi~ I am 47 years old skater from Korea. Started to skate again after 30 years of time..:) Just landed my first Front pop today and this video helped me a lot. Thanks!
Great advice and simple to understand! Im still trying to learn this trick. I've been struck in beginner mode the last 30yrs. Lol I made the mistake of taking a 15yr break when I became a electrician. AZ skater Johnny
I know this video is three years old but i religiously watched this video and was able to land a fs shuvit today. Thank you Ben for being so helpful, i relate to the weather as i lived in Coquitlam for a good part of my life
Great content as usual! There’s nothing weird in popping them higher on switch. Your front foot is - usually - more dominant and have more strength. If it became pushing tail down force combined with shortened uncertain move then the you generate more power. The best thing to keep my ride fresh while being older rider, is switch. I encourage you guys to ride one month everywhere on switch, lovely feeling. Thanks Ben for your work!
I love these too and use them in my warm up as well. I also love doing them out of FS 50-50's (or at least used to when I was younger), but today I uploaded getting one (FS shove it out of FS 50-50) for the first time in almost 20 years (at 40) :)!
such a cool looking trick. my switch ones are better as well. something that helped me while i was learning them is popping/scooping towards the nose with my ankle. it makes the axis of rotation more centered, allowing it to stay under me
Best advice I ever got on a fs shove was to pick up my front foot more. No idea why it worked, but suddenly I could land them. And if you bring your front foot closer to the middle of the board you’ll pop them way higher, and it can actually make the trick easier because it gives you more time.
I learned these just the other day. I had a problem where I would always land with my front foot in front of the board. What helped was to consciously throw my arms behind me as I pop to help keep my weight over the board. Turning frontside a tiny bit just before popping helps as well.
This is a great trick to have in your bag for games of skate...most people don't seem to learn this trick. At least most beginner-intermediate skaters, and even if they can do it, few people seem to actually have it on lock
Learned this one switch as well as Nollie (backside) today. I can do them regular as well, but it actually felt easier to commit to it switch than regular.
funnily enough, the backfoot position that you advise against (the one that causes it to pressure flip) is exactly how I execute my front shuvs, and I have them clean and fairly consistent. When I place my backfoot more centered on the tail, that's what causes the board to flip for me. I can't explain why this happens.
I do my pop shoves a bit different they tend to be higher more vertical with my foot back towards the tail tip.. Great video as usual Ben. Now if you can tell me the how to stay over a 360 flip, i tend to land them at the front end of the board or back foot only.
Do you ride switch keeping regular position? Then I guess you get more pop from kicking long nose. I always have nicer pop on switch and can't understand why boards are so assymetric? Why boards are not made with larger tail to pop equally well? If anyone can answer it's you! :) p.s. Turning 40, back to skateboarding after looong break. Love your channel! I use your tips in each session and making great progress! Thank You!!!
For some reason my switch fs shove it's pop higher and I don't got to jump backwards as much as I do when I do it regular. I definitely like to way my switch ones look to but I got my regular ones more consistent.
Idk if you could do late flips or not but I'm having a problem with mine. I can pop it and flip it with my back foot and catch it with my front foot but I have a problem getting the back foot back on the board. Just trying to see if anybody has any tips on that.
I almost ended up breaking my nose doing this trick, out of all the ways to fall I almost banged my nose into the concrete, I ended up landing them tho 👍
If we are talking references, Id like to see some Les Lye from You Can't Do That onTelevision. He was a hoot. Seriously though, enjoyed the comedy in this video Ben.
Note at 2:40 in the video my hips are behind the board. I think that is part of how you keep it in front of you. Your center of gravity is behind the deck. Not sure if that is the problem though.

48 myself. Just got back on the board last week after 25 years off.
I landed my first FS Shuvit today because of this video! Thank you Ben this helped me alot!
Switch FS pop shoves are probably my favourite and most consistent trick.

Good stuff dude! I hope you’re still skating

Good trick tip. Mine are higher switch as well. It's weird switch varial heels for me also feel easier than regular.
Thanks for this, I’ve been putting my back foot waaay too far in the pocket and have always struggled to land these.

Ben I cant wait until your channel blows up! Some of the best videos on youtube! Keep it up!

it depends whether you lean on the ball of your foot or towards your heel

That's like my switch ones. The thumbnail pic is a switch one and you can see it going vertically.
I love your jeans
Probably my most solid trick. Good tutorial and video!
yes, thanks big ben
You asked for this one didn't you?
Great tutorial. I also love doing these switch.
Thanks bro so good really helps from Costa Rica 🇨🇷🛹

Awesome.. I was just trying these today.. And they weren't very good.. Now I have some things to work on.
Thank alot Ben, great video. Fun lil trick
Thanks for the tips. Currently trying to learn this one. I find it hard to keep the board from going too far behind me!!
I landed my first fs shuv because of this video, thank you
Thank you . Please do more of howe to videos. Greeting from Thailand ✌
I will. I have been noticing people are appreciating them.
yo I kept struggling with regular shuvs and I watched this and landed one in an hr
Hey Ben
It's easy to follow, and put use your demonstrations, for I too Skate regular footed.
Hence everything Goofy/Switch is exactly opposite, lol.
This is my dream park !! Thanks for the tips mangg
are you planing to do fs bigspin tutorial? because it seems impossible to me on normal stance after 15 years skating
Thank You !
This trick is so much harder to learn than it looks. Harder than tre flips, for me at least. I’ll keep persevering…
you learn em yet?
Круто! Ты молодец!
Are mystery decks any good? Please do a review on them if you can. Cheers!
been needing this one! can only do it switch
Landed it!
For some reason my switch fs shove it's pop higher and I don't got to jump backwards as much as I do when I do it regular. I definitely like to way my switch ones look to but I got my regular ones more consistent.
May seem like a dumb question, but do you need to jump back in order to catch the board? Or does it stay under you the whole time?
You jump back just a little
Idk if you could do late flips or not but I'm having a problem with mine. I can pop it and flip it with my back foot and catch it with my front foot but I have a problem getting the back foot back on the board. Just trying to see if anybody has any tips on that.
I have the rotation down pretty good, but I still have problems keeping the board directly under me :/
Grate can you do vid about normal pop shuv
I filmed one but I gave bad advice so I didn't use it. I will film another one.
Thx for the tips got them with 8 mins
I almost ended up breaking my nose doing this trick, out of all the ways to fall I almost banged my nose into the concrete, I ended up landing them tho 👍
Yay Ben posted a video
Crackbabydaddy 1996 where ya been I posted one yesterday too:)
I watched it. I've just never heard of theories skateboards
I agree with you that's a weird thing, mine sw fs popsh higher and more stable
My front shoves are weird they DONT pop its so weird how i land them without pop
Awsome Daddy Man mine too
Switch front shuv is the only switch trick I can do
Thanks👍
needs more Strange Brew references. otherwise, a good video. :)
I will work on that. It's the other side of Canada that talks like that though. Like California versus New England.
If we are talking references, Id like to see some Les Lye from You Can't Do That onTelevision. He was a hoot. Seriously though, enjoyed the comedy in this video Ben.
I don't remember any comedy but I sure remember you can't do that on television " I don"t know"
I rolled my ankle on this trick when learning it while moving 2 months ago. Now I'm scared to try it.
Y u riding ur old girl deck or your early 00's setup?
It's wet. That the dedicated rain/wet ground setup.
Yea i skated switch and it was wayyyyyy higher
i can only do them switch
yep thats the big problem i have, the board just shooting off behind me
Note at 2:40 in the video my hips are behind the board. I think that is part of how you keep it in front of you. Your center of gravity is behind the deck. Not sure if that is the problem though.
uhh that park is pretty wet.. relateble
Whats your insta?
It's just ben degros
do i need to learn how to ollie for this
No. Its a pretty different motion.
front shuvs are my enemy lmao i can do em but i like sw front shuvs better
Mine pop too high
As in you can't get your body high enough to keep up?
Ben Degros exactly, trying to get back in shape in your 40's sucks
start doin em squats G
