alright, so i'm struggling learning to do this trick. it's extremely weird getting that board to swing all the way around without almost going half way into the slide. i've been told frontside might be a little awkward at first for this trick anyways, but i was wondering if anybody had some pointers.
umm ok. Try and keep your shoulders in line with the length of the board. just push it out into a slide while keeping your shoulders in form and kind of flick it and unweight/hop up at the same time. if you're not good at b/s standup slides then f/s will probably be a bit easier, although i find b/s can be a bit easier to keep your shoulders in line rather than kind of wanting to turn it and have your chest facing down the hill with a f/s. Gear doesnt matter too much but i find some wheels a little easier to flick than others especially in the soft wheel devision. i'll add if i think of anything else, kinda rambling here.

Awesome advice, thanks! So should we compare this to the regular shuvit at all, like technique wise? Or is it a totally different thing? And what do you mean by "unweight"?
It helps me to keep a lot of weight over my front foot to create kind of a pivot point. Try not to stay on the board for very much of the slide because that makes it more awkward to land back on.
