Ok, anyone wanna let me in on the secret of front shuvs? Like Scott Johnston in Penal Code or Lucas Puig in that recent clip (yes, it was switch) style? My regular ones have sucked, and continue to suck, forever.
Get your back foot in that scooping pocket, scoop it with all your might, and let the board guide itself to your front foot.
Back on topic: After getting super close to rick flips for the longest time, I dedicated a whole sesh to trying to learn them a couple nights ago and I finally rode away on two of them! So hyped. They're still pretty sketchy looking, but hopefully I should have them looking cleaner soon.
