The Shove It (a.k.a. Shuv it, by
illiterate people) is a
skateboarding
trick. It is the easiest trick you can learn, that still looks a bit
impressive. It goes like this:
To preform a Shove it, you
push down the
tail just a little bit, and then shove the board
clockwise or
counterclockwise (what ever you find easiest) by pushing your front
foot in one
direction, and your
rear foot in the
opposite direction, in the same moment as you
jump up (you might want to jump forward a little bit, towards the direction in which your toes are pointing, since this trick has a
tendency to push the skateboard in said direction). When the skateboard has
completed its spin, land
on top of it (
duh) and try not to let it
slip.
logically enough, a
180 degree spin of the board is called a "180 shove it", a 360 degree spin is called "360 shove it" and so on.
