3-shuv help

TAD, im having the same problem, not the body rotation, but sometimes my 3 shuvs will just turn into a "huge floaty shuv" and doesnt rotate enough, the wierdest part is i dont change the way i do my 3 shuvs for this to happen. It happens about 1/4 of the time and the other 3/4 that do rotate, i land perfectly.

i assumed that i was giving it too much pop when this happens, but thats not the case seeing as i dont change my method, the only variable is my back foot placement which only slightly changes between attempts.

mcthrust, ahhh i know what your doing!!!! mk so when you do 3 shuvs dont just JUMP as high as you can and wait for it to come around. STAY IN CONTROLL!!! just bend down get pop and spin it around it will come dont just be trying SOOO hard just do it!! think of it as a simple little 3 shuv and just stay down with your knees bent NO JUST JUMPIN IN THE AIR my best bro had the same problem and now hes killin em!!

bobby211, i have that same issue, everyone says it looks like i'm tryin to throw a back big. i'm gonna ease up on the rotation today and see how that does.

mcthrust&MrMarbles, if your spinning then try turning your head more towards the boat like if u were going to be looking at the driver but look down at your feet. It will keep you more centered. That helped me when i was having that problem for a while. Cool

David_Roehm, that advice didn't help me at all.. no matter if i jump high or don't jump at all, my body still turns..

TAD, same, so aggravating

dylbag, put your back foot all the way back and your front right above the middle of the board. Also your front foot should be on your toes and just kick out your back foot and you get em
that's how I got mine consistent Smash
