A shove-it is performed by standing on the board, jumping up a bit and scooping the tail down and to its side.
There are 2 types of shove-its, a frontside (when the user pushes the tail of the board forward with their back foot) and a backside shove-it (when the user pushes their back foot backwards as if to jump forwards).
A backside shove-it (commonly shortened to just shove-it or shuv) is performed by putting the back foot with the toes hanging off of the front of the board, and doing a short, but quick movement spinning the board underneath the user.
The trick then proceeds like a shove-it, with the tail kicked clockwise or counter-clockwise to make the board spin.
On June 16, 2018, Polish skater Adam Żaczek set a world record by doing 68 shove-its in a minute.
