You're not fully scooping. I had the same exact issue for the longest time and I had to really study the scoop motion to get my shuvits more consistent. This video really helped me fix a lot of my issues: [VIDEO] You want to try to have your back foot to really scoop towards your front foot while the front foot simply catches. It's easier said then done of course, I've been practicing shuvits for a year or so and I still land some primo. Just keep at it! Edit: looking at your vid again, I feel like your leaning a bit back. Try to stay center with your board while you jump forward

The rotation could be a few things, but generally it’s the footing position. For me on a pop shuv I pretty much have both my feet in an Ollie position. For a shuvit, I put my back foot a little closer to the inside edge to get more of a quick flick. Check out this short tutorial for fixing your shuvit: Why You Can’t Shuv-It!
