lip ollies/shuvs off

[skimboarder]

i've got basic lip stuff down like little 90 shuvs off and etc. but how do you really pop a trick when in a boardslide position? i've tried to ollie straight off and i can never get it to pop completely, same with a 270 shuv off i just can't get the pop in that position.

any tips on how to get the pop in a boardslide position?

b]skimboarder[/b],start at the top of the wake and start to edge off the wake a little until your tail is at the top of the wake then pop it goin off. its hard to explain but if you look at my video in riding pic and vids its under my new vid!!

hope that helps

so i think he's saying sort of transition to a tail slide and then pop

alright then i'll try it when i ride tomorrow, same thing for say 270 shuvs off?

i'm starting to get it slowly, i get over into somewhat of a tail slide and pop it but they aren't very high yet.

skimboarder, keep working on it practice makes perfect!!

for 270 shuvs off i lean back a little to prevent catchin that edge and instead of having the wake in the middle of my board i keep it closer to the tail, i think it helps for when you try to pop so your board doesn't go under.
hope this helps you.

skimboarder, try to learn ollies on a Indo board. They are pretty similar to ollies off the lip. You have to lower the nose before popping the tail to create the right momentum.

The key for 270 shuvs is foot placement. For regular riders, scoop back and keep your left foot close to the heelside egde. Your back foot (right) should be placed far back on the tail. If you'll find it hard to complete the 270 rotation you can place your back foot a little bit closer to your toeside egde of the tail. Keep the handle in and pop it like it's hot!
