Why a Shuvit is EASIEST Nollie/Fakie | Physics of Skateboarding - 02

So I thought this would be an interesting take on How To Skate videos. This series, The Science of Skateboarding, is eventually gonna dive into all manner of things that can make you a better skateboarder, but I figured it would be appropriate to kick it all off with some videos on shuvits in honor of Elaine Shallcross. She was an amazing woman who, as a way of building awareness of and funding for cancer research, made it her mission to learn how to shuvit. Unfortunately Elaine passed away recently, but not before making an absolutely huge impact on the world of skateboarding. If you want to join in on World Shuvit Cancer Day, it will be on July 10th. Just be sure to use the hashtag #shuvitcancer and/or #shuvitcancerday . If you want to find out more, this is their info (and no this is not sponsored. I was inspired by Elaine and her story and thought you guys ought to know about her.):

This is a great video. One thing that would help me in the slow mo is if you painted the front edge of the board different than the back. You could paint the sides different colors too to help keep track of flipping.
-
Found you via braille, and wow. What a incredible content. Keep it up! Greetings from Brazil!
-
This should have wayyyy more views this is the best trick tip I’ve ever seen in my entire life this doesn’t just apply to shuv it’s for more advanced skaters. This applies to any trick the has a scoop involved
-
this video is so much appreciated man, it adds to the many ones inspired by people like you who got passion for skateboarding, sharing filmography and passing knowledge. Im also glad it is inspired by that good woman’s cause 🙏🏻 🛹

Awesome video man. i saw your moving truck video on Braille and came here. I'm a 36 yr old computer scientist that started skating again after an 18 yr break. It would be cool to see how when your body is leaning forward or backward too much it affects where the board goes if that makes sense.
-
Your video is so cool and so well explained how can you have so few subscribers Anyway continue what you're doing it's awesome 👍
-
Really enjoying this series. Makes me want to skate again. Keep up with the great content!!
-
awesome video very informative! keep up the good work!!
-
I love your videos. Sometimes watching skateboarding in super slow motion is all you need to make your day better.
-
god i loved this, i need to know these little things in skating like that it helps my brain not focus on bailing and the board just doing its thing.

Ay man hope the channel starts hitting up, hope you continue being able to keep up science/skateboarding, sometimes getting clips for one simple subject and dragging on will be able to allow you to hit common questions, and then make more. Like how Smartereveryday, or stevemold does videos, hope you hit that level of your educational videos. I think you could hit on why it's so bad when you hit stones with a skateboard. And look into the science that is making new wheels up to today with a interview with the person making the wheels/testing? If you read this hope you have fun with teaching everyone with science of an activity.

your slow-mo shots are amazing!
-
Love this, keen to see more keep at it!
-
I think we it really comes down to is in fakie you are throwing the board in the direction it's already moving. Regular you are throwing it against that. Friction is the same in all stances.

-- sick

Saw you on Braille.
-
Can you do the same with fakie flips please
-
How to do enshw ms

It's not easier for me to do a fakie shuvit. When I try a fakie shuvit my back foot barely lands on the edge of the tail, sometimes it slips off.

The video is well put together, but your scientific lingo and certain explanations are all over the place. The friction part is alright, but: In the "2nd principle" what you describe isn't conservation of momentum - it's inertia, but other than that it's alright too. However, after that, in the part with the lever, I, honestly, don't even know where to begin. If after watching it for, like, 10 times, I unjumbled it correctly, you're just repeating and combining your 1st and 2nd explanation, but this time shoehorning levers and a bunch of other random concepts into it. To describe a trick, you only need to look at the board, what forces affect it and how, and that's exactly what you did in pt.1 and pt.2, while pt.3 is just extremely confusing and unnecessary.
