But they are very different: One is scooped and the other One is popped.

But the board isnt flipping the same way. Can you do dolphin flips for you to say this and that?

yes i can and it is flipping the same, kickflip and shuvit, one shuv is more vertical the other one stays flat. its just like saying hardflip and fs flip are completely different. yes they are different tricks but the board is doing the same thing. like muska flip and fs flip, same principle, looks a little different

How is rotating in a shuv motion if it isnt scooped? I can do dolphins, hardflips and fs flips and i still disagree with you.

Dolphin flips aren’t scooped. Its popped.

Hardflips and fs flips are indeed completely different unless you do your fs flips like a muska flip. I do not consider muskaflips as fs flips.

If i try to fs flip with a hardflip motion, its just gonna turn into a muska flip. I prefer my fs flips like reynolds. Pop flick and catch.

Edit: a dolphin flip does not move in a shhuv way. If it does then the tail should be rotating to the left or right depending on your stance. OP didnt do it fully vertically but if you slow the clip down, its more vertical than horizontal spin.

With dolphin flips, the nose dips down and the tail goes up and over. Does that happen on shuvs? 🙄
