Sounds like a good lot of ramps you've got there. I used to have loads of ramps (a kicker, two manual pads, double bar boardsliding pole, wedge ramp and a dead small fun box thing) but these townies nicked them and threw them in the river.... tossers. Anyway trick tips,
well the first thing to do is think of both those tricks as OLLIES this really helps in the long run so get that down. With a pop shuv-it the whole trick is in the back foot, ride along like an ollie but have your back foot dead centre on the tail, not on the tip of the tail like an ollie but as solid on the tail as you can get. Crouch and begin to come up like an ollie, rather than drag your front foot up the board just lift it up, you have to pop your tail hard to make it come off the ground properly, when you pop the board your back foot should move slightly to your heeledge to give the 180 roptation needed for the trick. 'catch' the board with your front foot and land the bastard. ONe problem people always have (if your any bigger than MArcus that is) is that you often land with your front foot on teh nose, this means lots of tweaked ankles (very painful) so make sure you land it solid goin slow before trying it faster, also rememebr you might have to jump in front of you a bit as the board is spinning away from you ever so slightly. rememebr just think of it as an olie and youll be ok. I gave up on pop-shuvits cos i nearly dislocated my ankle, it went all purple and nasy , but i can pull the occasional good un.
I just started learnign swich ollies 4 days ago and i can get em up blocks and shit already, i cant do kickflips mate, theyre on the site anyway so use the trick tip section.
p.s. kickflips absoulutely wreck your shoes, i recommend a bit of duct (duck?) tape on your toe to stop your shoes turning shit, i know your shoes wont look as cool but its gonna stop you spending £70 on a new pair.
p.p.s where do you live??????????
