Watch the board below you as it spins, and use your front foot to keep it level. Once you've done your scoop and pulled your feet up, the trick works just like a regular Pop Shove It as far as your concerned. The board will be spinning more, but that's the board's job. Your job is to keep it level with the front foot, and don't let the board get above your feet!

As the board comes back after turning 360 degrees (a full circle), catch it with your back foot and crush the board to the ground. Bend your knees deep to absorb the landing, try to keep your balance, and you will look awesome.

Landing the 360 Pop Shove It can be tough, and it's easy to end up landing on the nose of the board, and with your feet too close together. This just takes practice. It takes a lot of balance so don't worry about it - just do the best you can and try to land it. The more you freak out about whether you are going to land it right or not, the more likely you are to tense up, and staying loose is key to landing any skateboard trick.
