Step 1
Place your index finger close to the mid of the fingerboard and your middle finger on the tail.
Step 2
Try to pop the fingerboard with your middle finger and press it down.
Step 3
The next step is that slide your index finger swiftly toward the nose to lift the board into the air.
Step 4
Now, control the position of your wrist and make the fingerboard horizontal.
Step 5
Try to press the fingerboard to land the fingerboard on both of its wheels at once.
Shuvit
Shuvit is also known as pop Shuvit. It is a kind of a spin trick you perform by popping and scooping the tail before spinning, catching, and landing the fingerboard. If you want to perform this trick, you can do it by following the steps given below:-
Step 1
The very first step to perform on the fingerboard is to place your ring finger on the tail of the fingerboard and your front finger ahead of its middle.

KickFlip
Like an Ollie, the kickflip is the fundamental trick you can learn as a fingerboard.
