Putting your weight on your forward foot, rock the board up. While doing this, turn your arms in the direction that you will pivot. For the first time, I recommend doing a [link url/od/skateboardingdictionary/g/GlosBackside.htm]backside[/link] turn (so your arms should be to the right if you ride regular, and to the left if you ride goofy. That's the direction you are about to turn). In the photo, the skater is about to do a frontside pivot, which is the harder one. If I were you, I would start off learning the backside pivot!
