The only way to win over him is to skunk him. I hope we'll see Shane O'neill vs him. Maybe he'll have to bring the 720 shuv-it to that battle! [VIDEO]

First off, gotta fix up that posture and back/spine position. Keep as upright as possible as you crouch down, don't hunch over as that will throw your weight distribution too far in the direction you're leaning and just generally make it harder to jump up correctly. Second point is, the violent kicking back of leg seems intuitive I'm sure, but for 360 pop shuvits and 360 flips it's the totally wrong approach.
