That happned to me yesterday when I was doing shuvits and 360 shuvits, it probaly means your spinning your body to much, or you dont have enough tension on the rope and its pulling around

practice on a skateboard if u have never skated before and then just try and do em with a wider stance maybe. ALways think about what your doing when ur doing it and like think in your head im gonna land it

I had (or still have?) the same stance problem.

Practice your shuvits on a carpet or on the kitchen floor.
I practice them in my kitchen with a Sponge (cause it makes less noise than wood... and I care about the damn people that live below me Smash

).

And, as Dave always says, keep in mind that "you are traveling at 18 to 20 mph, so you will need to jump to where your board is going to be, and not where it currently is".
