After breaking my ankle, Im totally re learning skating.
Now, I know alot of people have posted pop shuv-it help threads and I searched alll of em' but none seem to cover the problem I have.

Im right footed and Goofy stance: this is the problem.
I can get the shuv-it part but I always land with my front foot on the nose and my back foot in the middle of the board. It ends up in a \ 45 degree angle. It even happens when I do them moving.

As for the heel flips, I land with my front foot on front of the board and my back foot in the middle of it.

I seem to have the standard kickflip problem of my front foot landing under the board.


Any pointers on any of these? I'd appriciate them! :D

Well if you keep landing on the nose all the time, try not to lean as far forward and it might help.

I have some really good advice for the kickflip problems. Practice holding on to somthing. It might seem like a ***** thing to do but if spin it and can give yourself some support youll get it faster

and also it would get you in2 the habit of suckig up your legs which is the hardest bit of the kickflip.... you can also do this/that tip with heelflips cause its the same motion exept with your heel:D
