I can't shifty. It's one of my favorite tricks to watch too. Do you think of it like a poke that you push to the side? Or, do you think of it like a back one that you bring back? |

snap the pop like a back one, you can only throw your body to a certain extent, or else it's too far to bring back, the rest you do with your legs. _________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2VJfZOomIM |

try to feel a consistent pull from the rope as well without to much slack. like soy said as well, and mainly just practice overall will help with your muscle control for the trick |

Practice Practice Practice. But as far as the actual trick goes try like James said to keep a lot of tension on the rope, pop and turn like you are going for a back one like soy said but tweak it and bring it back. Let me know how that works out for ya. _________________ -Jordan Schwaller

It sounds like I've been leading to much with my shoulders, I'm guessing they stay pretty square with the boat? My dream is to one day be able to do an Aaron Reed style one out into the flats. |

edge HARDDDD into I/O and just let that back foot glide back off your rail when you pop for bs shiftys it also helps if you bring the handle as close in to your body as you can
for fs i just try getting really low before my ollies and just practice a half of a fs 180 and bring it back, if you land sideways just slide it back untill you can get the motion down in air!
best of luck! _________________ woop woop |
