The popshoveit: The pop shove-it involves an ollie and a slight of foot that turns the board, but not the rider, 180 degrees. It becomes useful in situations when the rider desires that the board be reversed (i.e. pointed in the opposite direction).
To perform the pop shove-it, roll at a moderate to fast speed and assume the ollie position. Ollie upwards, but instead of sliding your leading foot to the nose - as you would for a straight ollie - keep it near the center of the board. Push the tail slightly with your trailing foot to the heel side and guide the board around with your leading foot. As the leading end of the board swings around, "catch" it with your trailing foot, and land.
