If you look at the vid you linked hes getting all the wheels off the ground. The difference between a shuv and a pop shuv is only slightly different. That being said with harder wheels you can kinda cheat a bit. Tbh I'm not really the person to be asking haha I mainly skate transition and while I can land a pop shuv it's not consistent. Again look up "skate IQ" on YouTube his got some of the best tutorials on the internet. [VIDEO]

Watch the skateiq video on shuvit [VIDEO] Essentially, you need to try to kick yourself on the behind using your back foot & lift your front foot out of the way of the board. In your video, your using your front foot to turn the board, that won’t work
