pop shuvit late flip

The pop shuvit late flip is a (backside) pop shuvit with a late front foot kickflip, I know two ways to do this trick, the one I will explain here is based on the hospital flip late flip technique, but being able to land this trick is not necessary to learn the pop shuvit late flip, all you will need is the pop shuvit and the varial kickflip.

feet setup:
-set your back foot like you would for a pop shuvit.
-set your front foot between the front bolts and the middle of the board, with the heel hanging off the heelside, be ready to use this foot to guide the board during the first part of the trick.

How to do:
1/ Hit the tail and scoop with your back foot to get a pop shuvit, don't pop too hard, this trick is easier to land when it's not too high, flick a little with your front foot like you would for a varial kickflip but don't let the foot go off the griptape, let this foot in contact with the board, this will make the board stick to the foot during the whole shuvit motion.
2/ At this step the board has done the shuvit and you should feel the heel side edge of the board stick to the ball of your front foot. It's time to do the late front foot flip, because of the front foot placement all you have to do is to push down/behind you to induce a fast late flip that will end right under your feet.
3/ Raise your front foot to be able to get it back on the griptape (it may be automatic) then land.

Tips:
-It helps to use the front foot to guide the board a bit in front you during the pop shuvit, it should help with the late flip.
-Be quick, this trick also requires some accuracy, you have to hit the late flip close to heelside edge to be able to do a full late flip.

Variations:
-they can be done with a fakie or regular bigspin.
-they can be done with a late varial flip.
-you can replace the pop shuvit with something else, for exampe you can do a pressure flip late flip or even a 360 flip late flip.
