backside 3shuv w/ body varial

I have completely lost my three shuv. I hate the fact that a couple of months ago it seemed like I was getting somewhat consistent with them, and now I can't lant one to save my life. Most of the time I end up doing a body varial while trying to catch the board with my feet. A backside three shuv with a body varial...wierd? Does that make sense? It's like the board is rotating backside and my body rotates 180 in the opposite direction. I feel like my body is subconsciously rotating like this in order to catch the board as it comes around. I would be ok with it if I was riding away with it. Has anybody else had this problem before? Any ideas on how to keep this from happening? This weekend I'll get a vid of it for a visual.

just try to pop the board up a bit higher so you dont feel like you have to rotate to catch a good method to stop the body varial is take a rope and tie it to a pole or somethingand jsut practice doing three shuvs on the groud with youre wakeskate thatll help loose the body varial ive done that with a few people before and it fully took away the problem, good luck

Good tips gate-rider! Throw it higher and scoop it out of your ollie and get her out in front of you. Usually I fall when I come up short, gotta go big for a 3shuv.

A 3shuv with a body varial, I was thinking about that earlier. Is there a name for that? I bet someone can do it. A castarial 3shuv or a smaller spin. That would be sweet nichSloan, you could own that shizzle.

Damn I need a camera so bad! I'm thinking I'll be asking for one for Christmas Wink

Anyway, I'll be riding tomorrow so hopefully I'll find a friend with a camera and I'll catch some footy of it.

Keep it Low I know everyone says to pop it all high and s#it but thats not it. I bet Engen does about 8-9 3 shuvs a day. and I haven't seen him fall on one in probably 5 months. Kick directly back(not down) make sure your flat (not on edge) and kick the s#it out of it. I swear thats how I got mine Consistant. and there still popped like 10"-1ft.
