I watched this [VIDEO] YouTube video on shuv its. It helped me to understand how to position my feet and how to rotate the board around. It's more use of the ankle and not the whole foot. I'm still struggling with moving shuv its myself. Stationary is mostly fine. Can recommend all of her videos btw.

Hell yeah man. I’ve just started getting more comfortable with shuv its while moving (FYI they are easier for me when riding fakie for some reason—it feels like I don’t have to shove as hard). Your stance looks good; I initially had my toe hang over to gain leverage for the scoop, but found I had a lot more control over the spin with my foot just slightly toe side of the center of the tail (same stance I use for pop shuvs). It’s a really small hop which helps prevent overdoing the spin by keeping your front foot in place to catch it, and you seem to have that down. I found that making an effort to ‘push’ my front foot forward while my back foot scoops back helped me to stay over the deck. Most importantly stay centered over the board. You’ll want to lean forward to predict the movement of the board as it spins, but I’ve found that throws off my scooping motion. A good shuv won’t go too far in front of you and the movement of your front foot will let you comfortably bring your back foot into place this video [VIDEO] was also a godsend. She has a lot of fantastic tutorials in general. Good luck!!

I had the same issue with commitment for so long. I fixed it by practicing them in the dirt so I wasn't so scared to land on the board (grass is probably better but we don't have any of that fancy stuff here.) Once I landed on the board in the dirt I immediately went to concrete and tried it there Additionally Sarah Park-Matott has some really good videos on skating [VIDEO] this one addresses shovits and might help you out!

Hmmm it could be to do with the direction your back foot is pushing. I had this problem because my back foot was flicking the board at a bit of an angle and not directly back. I realised I was doing this when I watched Sarah Park-Matott's video of it here: [VIDEO]

1. Aaron Kryo is goofy 2. You are doing it goofy in that vid If you are actually regular (left foot forward) just check out one of these tutorials, which should make more sense to you: [VIDEO] [VIDEO] [VIDEO]

shuv it breakdown. [VIDEO] if you watch the video slow. when you stand up the board starts moving forward before anything else. try to keep your weight centered and flick your foot straight back.
