After 4 hours of wakeskating on the Colorado River yesterday I am still no closer to landing a shoveit.I need advice.Are you supposed to keep your eyes on the board or on the landing area?What about foot placement?Am I too old?Why does it burn when I pee?The only positive thing yesterday was my ONEIL HYBRID DRYSUIT.Marvelous invention.

Ok, first, chill. Second, you are trying too hard for the shuvit. I don't know about everyone else but if I'm not getting any closer to a trick on a wakeskate in say 8 tries, I move on to something else and clear my head of the one trick. Work on ollies or something in between killing yourself over a shuv.

make sure yours spnning backside, not frontside. i remember trying frontside shuv its first and they were so hard, backside would be when you pull your back foot back, and push your front foot forward. get the spin from yourback food, guide with your front, and stomp it down when it rotates the 180
