BALLS TO THE WALLS MY FRIEND, watch some footy of Ryan Doyle at the projects. most of the times he lands with his feet not together but close cus you kinda half to on a rail, its not like a box(whole other ball park)

POPTART, back shuv but you just gotta to commit son. if you fall itll only hurt for a little. i was getting worked at owc yesterday working on shuvs onto the box.

well, your standing up like your gonna graduate

you look good tho

but try to keep that handle alot lower, never really let it go higher than your chest, stay over your toes a bit as you approach the transition from flat to down and make sure you keep your eyes infront of you, and if you dont make the board, hold onto the handle cus it will pull ya off the rail

so u guys are doing backshuvs?

know that im looking at the pics i can tell that my handle placement is wayyyyy off....but the few that i was close on i just couldnt get my feet even

i thought id try a 90 front like off the wake ...but i kept throwingit way too hard

what do u think is the best trick to start with back 90
front 90
back 270 ?

idk

POPTART, just do a boardslide to back 270 shuv. you need to bend your knees alot moreeeeeeeeeee. keep the handle down. cause its weird as hell going down the incline doing it.

POPTART, that pretty gnar though you were trying fs 270 shuv. lol i would of hurt myself so bad on that.

DirtyCracker, its not so much fs270

id rather be on the rail switch, so tech i was trying/ thinking about doing a regular bs270 off
but i rode on the rail goofy and threw it regular

idk its just what i endedup trying

im close tho
i feel like if i got my feet pressure even i might have a chance to ride away

hey blake try a backside 270 off, i know you could land that. it'd be easier than a fs 270 shuv off since you're having the too much power problem.

POPTART, really concentrate on keeping that handle BELOW you waist, itll help alot. keep the handle really low and your weight forwand over the decline.

The one time I tried those I was doing fs270 shuvs off the incline. It just felt easier to me. I havent gotten a chance to try it again tho so I never landed one but I kept the board under my feet pretty well and I was stomping down but just bouncing off. But it felt easier then when I tried a bs shuv off. When I did that it just looked retarded and I hurt myself.

Just wanted to share
