Ok, so everytime I try I end up landing with my feet to close together and I turn backside a little. What am I doing wrong?

well, what really helped me was riding finless, and id say try to stay level and focus on spinning it

why is there YET ANOTHER thread asking for help with 3 shuvs? read all the other ones first, or use the search button. and then post on one of the already established ones, don't start a new thread with an old question. Smash

liquidstunts how about you just calm down and help the guy out or don't post. your post was a waste of space!

After you throw it, watch the first rotation and after it has done a complete 180, bring your feet back wide waiting for it to get about 270. Then just make sure you have your body facing the same direction as when you threw it. Your feet could be close together because you are turning your back to the boat.

Sorry I suck at trick tips, just thought I would try.

mergeleft3, to prevent you from turning backside try bringin your back hand forward, don't grab the handle, but keep it in front of you. Cool

its going down!!! FIGHT FIGHT ANARCHY hahaha. liquidstunts, dont worry about labelle, he just thinks hes all cool cause he has 4tracs and bilevels Laughing

labellethrasher, by the way, this is how a professional trick tip goes: pop the trick hard and flick it around harder than a normal popshuv, catch the board at its peak with wide feet, stick it and ride away clean...i hate tutorial vids

mergeleft3, i know this may sound funny but get an integrity, as soon as i got mine i land 3 shuvs like cake, so spiny and responsive.

are you trying them in the flats or re entry
if your trying them in the flats and they are spining backside try catching the board earlier (a little after 270)with your feet wider. and if you try to many and things aren't working out for you just try back biggies. haha

MrMarbles, You're trying to pop it too hard with your back foot. Instead of digging real hard into the water, try kicking it more behind you.

MrMarbles, try this but im not sure...

make sure u are completly flat so ur not edging. also drop ur butt because it will help on landing and maybe for u lean back a LITTLE more u seem to be a little ahead of it.

This may not work because i dont really think about what i do i just throw it but i think thats how i learned it...

JamesBoardr · Posted: Aug 26, 2007 9:52 pm Post subject:

MrMarbles, your just a little out of position and letting the rope pull you instead of pulling yourself to the rope. hold it in closer to your hip and throw the trick forward and behind your butt instead of pushing straight down and backwards. and push down with your back foot, dont jump off your back foot.

Thanks guys, hopefully I'll be able to get out this week and try again. I feel like I'm getting the board around right, but I'm landing way far in front of the board. I'll def think more about my back foot though.

Im scared of 3 shuvs Ever since i hurt my knee a while back. I will try to throw them over and over and i always catch it 180 or 270 i dont fall i just ride away everytime sucks. i kickem harder then reg shuv and everything my feet just dont want the board to spin 360. maybe i just need to suck my knees up and wait a second longer

well i did land one I/0 dont know how now just gotta figure out the flats.
