## The short answer

A 360 shove-it is a pop shove-it taken all the way around, a full 360-degree spin with no flip. Set your back foot at the tip of the tail, ball pressing the center with toes barely off, and your front foot in the middle just before the front bolts, shoulders square. Use a bigger scoop than a regular shove-it, keeping your front foot flat so the board spins instead of flipping.

## Where your feet go

- **Regular:** Ball of the back foot centered on the tail near the tip, nothing hanging off. Front foot near the front bolts at a small angle, shoulders square. Big scoop back.
- **Goofy:** Ball of the back foot centered on the tail near the tip, nothing hanging off. Front foot near the front bolts at a small angle, shoulders square. Big scoop back.

## Step by step

Each step is a part of the trick Skate AI scores when you film a try.

1. **Set up:** Back foot at the tip of the tail, ball pressing the center, toes barely off. Front foot in the middle just before the front bolts, shoulders square.
2. **Pop:** Pop down with a bigger scoop back than a regular pop shove-it needs.
3. **Stay flat:** Keep your front foot flat through the pop so the board spins instead of flipping.
4. **Catch:** Keep your shoulders square and watch for the grip tape to come all the way around to 360.
5. **Land:** Catch it with both feet over the bolts and roll away.

## Troubleshooting

### It only spins 180, like a regular shove-it

**Why:** The scoop isn't big enough to carry it all the way around.

**Fix:** Scoop noticeably harder and further back than your regular pop shove-it.

### The board flips instead of staying flat

**Why:** Your front foot is catching an edge instead of staying flat.

**Fix:** Keep your front foot flat and out of the way, don't let it drag on the board.

### You spin with it and land off balance

**Why:** Your shoulders are following the board's rotation instead of staying square.

**Fix:** Keep your shoulders and hips facing forward while the board spins under you.

### You catch it early, still spinning

**Why:** You're not waiting for the full 360 to complete before catching.

**Fix:** Watch the grip tape and catch only once it's fully lined back up.

## FAQ

### Is a 360 shove-it harder than a regular pop shove-it?

Yes, it needs a much bigger scoop and better timing to keep the board from flipping while it spins twice as far.

### How long does it take to learn a 360 shove-it?

Once a regular pop shove-it is consistent, expect several more weeks to build up the bigger scoop needed for a full 360.

### Why does my board flip when I try to scoop harder?

Your front foot is likely catching the board's edge. Keep it flat and passive through the pop.

### Do I need a regular pop shove-it first?

Yes, it's the foundation. Get the 180 version consistent before pushing for the full 360.
