i think the problem i have is my scooping method someone plz tell me a better foot position plz... also i think he calles it a crossflip because he says that some people count the pop shove it as a flip and that doesn't flip either so....

Hmm, its weird that its considered a flip, but ive never even heard of it. A 720 shuvit sounds kinda tough though.

Any shove it past 360 looks ugly anway because they spin way to fast and are badly caught.

How can he call it a flip if there isn't a flip???and why cross??


Its almost impossible on flat. you wanna do it down a block.
the hardest thing would be to spin it really fast without loosing the controll,so search for something big to get the spin good.

That sounds really really hard... I think the only 720 trick I've ever seen on street was on YouTube when someone almost Fakie 720 bigspinned the Skate Church 7. I can post the link, hold on...

I would call it a flip I suppose. It's just rotateing around a different axis.

It is a fliptrick, just because it rotates alroud a vertical axis doesn't mean it's not a fliptrick.

Any shove it past 360 looks ugly anway because they spin way to fast and are badly caught.

I learned 540 Pop Shoves today, they look really clean & I catch them ^_____^

In other news, there's no such thing as a crossflip, it's a 720 Shove, that's it.

gah i can't hardly do any tricks that have a 540 in them..i'm learning fakie 540 bigspins, but my board's almost dead so its extremely hard (going fakie and using nose)

BAH then i'll take it to fakie 540 bigflip, i can only do that by cheating and making it a stupid gazelle (fakie bigflip revert lol)

looks kinda steezy, but it's just cheap to call it a gazelle, and i wanna learn a real 540 trick!


720 shuv it, huh? that must look really sweet! i guess just practice 540 shuvs, if you can do them, and make sure you can do them WELL, like it doesn't take all the effort in you. maybe try fakie too? i think it helps to use the nose, and go fakie ;)
