A Shove-it is a skateboarding trick
where the skateboarder makes their board spin 180 degrees or more under their feet.
There are many variations of the Shove-it but they all follow the same principle: The skateboarder's lead foot stays in one spot, and their back foot does the 'shove'.

The Shove-it
- A shove-it is performed by standing on the board, jumping up a bit and pushing the tail down and to its side. Even though the tail should not touch the ground and the board should not lift off the ground more than about an inch, the board should quickly spin 180 degrees. The skateboarder then catches the board with his feet after it has completed the 180 degree rotation and lands on it.
- 360 shove-it is a variation of shove-it where the board spins a full 360 degrees. Pop shove-it is a variation of both the ollieOllie (skateboarding trick)The ollie is a skateboarding trick where the rider and board leap into the air without the use of the rider's hands. Particularly on flat ground, it is not intuitively obvious how the liftoff is achieved, making the trick visually striking....
and the shove-it. A 360 shove-it combined with a body varial in the same direction is called big spin. The 540Degree (angle)A degree , usually denoted by ° , is a measurement of plane angle, representing 1⁄360 of a full rotation; one degree is equivalent to π/180 radians...

jumps up and kicks the tail down in order to get the board airborne. The trick proceeds like a shove-it with the tail being kicked clockwise or counter clockwise in order to get the board spinning.
- During a pop shove-it the board gets higher in the air than during a normal shove-it and thus it can be performed while jumping over obstacles. Like any rotating trick, the pop shove-it can be performed frontside or backsideFrontsideFrontside and backside are surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding and aggressive inline skating terms that are used to describe how a person approaches an obstacle or performs a certain trick...
, the directions being named in the same fashion as 180 ollies. Unmodified, the name usually refers to a pop shove-it.
- Varial kickflips, varial heelflips, hardflips, inward heelflips, and 360 flips are all common tricks combined with the pop shove-it. In the case of the Varial Heelflip, it is a frontside pop shove-it, and in the 360 flip it is a 360 degree version of a pop shove-it.

The Late Shove-it
- Similar to a late flip, this trick combines an ollie with a pop shove-it, usually frontside, with the skater delaying the shove-it until the ollie is at its peak.
The BigSpin
- The board spins 360 degrees, while the rider spins 180 degrees in the same direction. Sometimes it is combined with a Kickflip making a "Bigspin Flip" or a Heelflip making a "Bigspin Heel". The trick is named after Brian LottiBrian LottiBrian Lotti is an American professional skateboarder.Lotti rose to fame in the skateboarding world in the late 1980s while riding for the now-defunct skateboard company H-Street.

, whose name sounds like "lottery." His friend named the trick after the California Lottery's Big Spin game.
Plasma spin
- A plasma spin is a frontside bigspin impossible, meaning it is identical to a frontside bigspin except for the fact that board wraps around the back foot as in an impossible.
Pop Shove It Front Foot Catch
- Is the same as a Pop Shove It but your back foot is sticking out of the board in the air. It is considered not a trick but style to the skater.
