OK you are literally the best skate channel out right now your analysis is always so detailed and your models are nice to look at. You appeal to so many people outside of skateboarding and I just want to thank you for your work and please, never stop. 😁
Woah, this is by far the best skate channel for me, the way you break everything down logically is so much more helpful than any explanation out there! Keep it up, mate!
My sense is that a more square-type of tail would make it easier to avoid pop shoveits fliping. Conversely, squared tails make tre flips a bit harder. I'm an old skater from 91.... with those old decks, pop shove its were easier (less likely to flip) than using the popsicle (more round tails) decks.
I just found this channel and this is how I always tried to break skating down into physics. This channel is gold. keep going bc this could really blow up. Thank you for your contribution to skateboarding.
I've learned how to stop flipping pop shove its accidentally, and i think you missed two major points. I started flipping mine on accident when i was trying to learn 360 flips. And after a lot of putzing around, i found that one surefire way of preventing an accidental scoop flip is to cock the board toward the heel-side before popping. In other words, you can ride straight ahead, with your heels and toes parallel to the ground, or you can press on and lower your toes, or your heels. So right before i pop a shove it (or don't pop it), i tilt the board down on my heel-side. If you go far enough, it's possible to land primo in the opposite way, but that is easily avoided by the other thing you missed- which is following the board closely with the front foot and catching it in the air (if it leaves the ground at all). A lot of the time, i'm sure i don't achieve an actual heel-side tilt, but putting a little pressure back there makes it good enough not to flip. And doing those two things, i can pop really hard or not at all- and with all kinds of foot placements- and not have to worry if the board is going to flip.
I have figured out a way to virtually never go primo on pop shuvs. I always tried to keep my back and front foot as flat as possible, but I found that sometimes that wasn’t enough. So now, before I pop, I always lean heelside while keeping my feet flat. It works really well.
I think the trick for this is that you just keep your front foot close or still on the board and it prevents the flip. If you watch some of these slow mo shots his front foot doesn't leave the board. You want to pull your legs up high like an Ollie and that's when you lose the control over your y axis. He almost points his front toes a bit forward and keeps it on the board.
I was actually planning to write a skateboard simulation software to simulate the physical things happening throughout tricks. Now I can save that work ;-) Thanks, that is exactly the right amount of nerdiness I needed!
Hello, as shove it is the leading trick into pop shove its; understanding the basics of shove it would provide a greater fundamental and understanding of how a pop shove it works. Could you do a video on shove its - same type of a scientific video would set better in minds to achieve the trick.
Great video man! Can you please make videos on hardflip,impossible,bs 360,laser flip,360 pop shove it(bs and fs) and late flips? Anyway,your vids are crazy,keep up!
Thank you for giving me another headache lol. Working on different things right now including those advanced tricks, basics like Ollies and even fundamental studies like “relation b/w steepness of kicks and height of pop.” So many things to do. Thank you for waiting and your comment anyway! Will be posting more. Please come back.
i subscribed awesome video my guy i already know these but im a student of the game and can see you are too. please do one on bs flips i cant seem to pop them and end up landing them everytime rocket. or if it pops back foot lands on heel side of board, or worse i land but nose dominant and slip out
given the trucks and wheels can store energy and cause the board to flip what stores more energy - tight trucks or loose trucks? Which is more likely to make the board flip - tight or loose trucks?
IDK if answers your question but everything is a "spring" after all. regardless of their hardness, bushings always have elasticity. so although i think it all comes down to methodology, i believe loose trucks are more unstable and easier to cause accidental flips.
you know, someone said about that in his channel. i think it does, up to a certain extent ESPECIALLY in normal shove-its, not pop shove-its. normal ones' final contact points with the ground are wheels. they'd receive more friction from the ground. whereas, in pop shove-its, its the tail that hits the ground, and the contact point is fairly "pointy," which, i assume, does not affect the flipping motion so much.
How do you know that the flipping is caused specifically by the truck loading up and then springing back? Why couldn’t it be the deck bouncing from the corner? Or maybe the motion of “rolling” the deck over the friction of the back wheels? It’s not that the truck loading theory is illogical, but I’m just curious how you know it is that specifically, when it might be other forces at work or in combination.
thank you for your comment. such an excellent point. if I may rephrase your question and say "can I be sure if the rear truck is the sole factor that causes the flip?" then I'm afraid have to say I can't. In fact, I think I said the spring of the rear truck is not strong enough to cause the flip alone in the previous video. and a result of my physics simulation also supported that idea. So I --- as much as I'd like to avoid using this word --- assume the spring of the rear truck and elasticity of the tail and everything sums up to cause the flip. Although I need further confirmation and calculation on this matter, based on the previous simulation and the fact that we sometimes can "phantom treflip," which we don't hit the tail, the bounce of the rear truck SEEMS to be the biggest factor to cause the flip. hope this clarifies your question.
29 now and my determination in my early teens to learn hard flips is one of my fondest memories ever. The placement of the front foot squarely in the middle of the deck while the back foot hangs on by the toes. That and pop shuv rewinds were some of my favorite tricks to learn back in the day. Salute!
on my own board (tight trucks) never had an issue with po shoves, but using someone else board with lose truck i am more prone to flip a shove it. looking at your model of the truck dissipating energy, makes me wonder how much a factor this is in when scooping 3flips vs 360shove vs pressureflips
is it type A or B?? if it's type A: you know, everything in this world is a spring. even diamonds have elasticity. so hardness of bushings doesn't directly assures anything. type B: this doesn't really have anything to do with the bushings. so if this is the case, you might want to focus on timing.
it's the foot placement and the angle of pressure you are putting on your foot. two factors. but foot placement is definitely big. there's another of your videos that sent me down a rabbit hole of why my kickflips were turning and that it wasn't my shoulders...no, it was my shoulders. maybe the physics would have shown my hips twisting or something, but keeping my shoulders straight fixed whatever was happening. i like the goal of these videos but i think they can be misleading by trying to explain everything by overthinking the physics and not focusing on actual technique

@@whythetrick it could be that he's keeping his body axis more heel side

Exactly! I do that before every shove it and they never flip anymore. That and catching with the front foot works like a charm.
I can watch these videos all day to learn a trick . I literally was waiting for this video to improve my skills it was like 2 weeks 🤣

trust me, it's getting nerdier. you are very welcome.
Thank you!
And can you make a video of a scientific breakdown of the pressure flip?? Please!..
you are welcome!
pressure flip though.
i have to practice it first haha.
I've got the catch and flip, can't wait for your next video!
amazing work man, can we start getting more intermediate tricks like imposibles and big flips?
I'd very much like to. but we have to go one by one. please wait a bit longer.
Best ever, you help me unlock a very respectable pop shuvit 🤙
You are a RUclips and skate genius
Amigo, sos un capo, te amo
Please make one for hard flips!!!
Aye no cap making sure the tail is the last thing to hit the ground works

Was wondering if you could break down why backside or frontside feels better than one or the other? Love these vids
Thanks! That’s going to be interesting for sure.

Fantastic videos
Thanks! 😃
damn this channel is tooo good
should this channel be legalized too?
oh it is.
Do pressure dlip
perfect tricktip videos
What about the friction of ground in Type A? would it affect the rotation?
you know, someone said about that in his channel.
i think it does, up to a certain extent ESPECIALLY in normal shove-its, not pop shove-its.

you are very welcome
Thank u so much I am better at tre flips than pop shuv because it always flips
You are very welcome. Watch out for primo though…
@@whythetrick ik
pop shuv is all in the front foot, not the back. its kind of hard to explain but you have to sort of ollie into it and it'll pop high and stay level
