360 Shuvit Help

EasternIceSkier · 08-21-2009, 07:09 PM

Hey everyone,
I've been riding my Loaded Dancer thinking to myself, "Hey 360 Shuvits are badass I should learn them and be cool." Sadly I can't quite figure out how to do them. I try a 180 pivot and then flick but I don't really understand how to do it. Does anyone have any tips that could lead me to being cool with my 360 Shuvits?
Thanks in advance everyone and keep skating

I dont think 360 shuvits involve a pivot. Its just like a 360 flick I believe.

It's going to be harder with a longer board.

The board isn't going to rotate 360 degrees if you don't make it. Go practice, and try harder.

It can't be the same as the street skating trick... I dont think flicking a dancer 360* is possible to do stylishly.

"180 pivot and then flick" kinda sounds like you are trying to do a bigspin?

I think he is thinking of a bigspin and I am hoping you have regular shuvs down before trying to jump straight into bigspins

i know someone who can big spin a dancer, its badass. i can hardly do it on my loki...

with your dancer it will be very hard though. if you have another board thats shorter use that one. basically just flick the board as hard as you can, and practice, thats all i can think of

Definitely try big spins first. They're still gonna be tough on a dancer but way easier than a 360 shuvit

i completely disagree.

i learned 360 shuvits first, took about a week, bigspins took me about a month. i still have trouble landing them consistently

BAsports18 · 08-28-2009, 06:57 PM

really? wow thats interesting. What board are you doing these on?

rosewood thief · 08-28-2009, 07:03 PM

well i started on my flexdex enzo and learned them both on that, then i got a loki and sort of started over learning them on a bigger board with less nose. idk it could just be me, they are very similar tricks that are both very fun

BAsports18 · 08-28-2009, 07:11 PM

To be honest i've never tried 360 shuvits too seriously mostly because i have th old TLS deck which has practically no leverage so i can barely get enough leverage to bigspin.

dmackanic · 09-19-2009, 06:42 PM

I thought a bigspin was a 360 shuv with a sex change? am i wrong? please correct me.

Bigspin: body does a 180, board does a 360, both spin the same direction

Check out my video on youtube titled "nick norton skating", or "home away from home" there are a few big spins in the video and a 360 shuvit as well. The easiest way to learn the 360 shuvit is to commit 100% and start by doing them off curbs, the curb will give you that extra foot to allow the board to make the complete rotation. The 360 shuvit seems like it should take alot of effort to whip the board around and it does at first, once you get it down it becomes relatively easy to do. The thing that I do to make the trick easier is to keep your legs up longer you know, allow the bard to rotate under your feet. Once you get the feel for the complete rotation your feet will follow. Practice and im sure you will get it, good luck Nick

i think people might be confused but i believe a BIG spin is, 360 board and you do a 180. and a SPIN big is board 180s and you 360. Little difference, both hard as #### lol
