        Shortly after popping an ollie with your back foot, use the toes of your front foot to kick the inside edge of the board. Wait for the board to flip completely before landing back on top of the deck.
      - Front side and backside pop shove it
        
        After popping an ollie, the skater kicks the front foot forward and the back foot backwards. The regular-footed stance (riding with the left foot up front) spins the frontside pop-shove it in a clockwise rotation. Skaters perform the backside pop-shove it by kicking the front foot backwards and the back foot forwards. The backside pop-shove it spins counterclockwise for the regular footers.

        The motion of the ollie requires the skater to push down on the concave area at the rear of the board (the tail) with his back foot. He then jumps into the air after the tail of the board hits the ground. The skater uses the front foot to level out by sliding it towards the front of the board. Landing solidly on all four wheels completes the ollie.
