i can land most of my tricks pretty good, but sometimes if im trying something like a pop shuvit, which i can do a lot of the time, i sometimes screw up for some reason and when i land on the board i just push it way out in front of me and i fall back, does anyone know anything that could help me stop this?

Thought I'd share with you on a session I had recently where I just could not land a single shuvit. It got pretty frustrating after what must have been like 30 tries.. the board just kept fallin behing me....So I figured I should give it a rest and just ride around a bit before I gave it a final go.
Guess that helped to clear my mind cos i after that I figured I should focus more on my back foot and concentrated less on shuving with the front (which didn't occur to me in the beginning that that's all wrong)... Stuck 2 in a row after that (probably really nothing by yr standards...) then went home happy.
Good luck.
