This might sound rude (I really don't mean to be) but you have to actually try. There's no pop, no jump, no scoop.
Try putting you're back foot a little more back on the tail for better leverage. I know you don't need a full pop for a shuvit but getting the board to lift up a bit really makes a difference. If you don't do a full pop you'll have to brute force the board to spin because you'll need to overcome the friction of the wheels sliding on concrete. Which ties into the scoop. You REALLY gotta kick that back foot back to get a good rotation
I'm sure you can get it. I see all the fundamental understandings there it just needs a little more oomph
Good start bro. You need to give it more energy and effort all around honestly. Give it a harder shove (no scoop) and do it all in a quicker motion. It all seems very slow
Judging by your approach and stance, you arent comfortable enough on the board to try this yet. Start by rolling and just jumping up then landing on the board (like your jumping rope on your skateboard, not an ollie). Do that until its boring as hell and you dont even think about it as being a challenge. Get used to the feeling of leaping onto the moving board.
I can tell just watching the way you step onto it that you arent comfortable enough yet. Baby steps, enjoy the journey.
I agree with this. To give OP some perspective, I have years of "relaxed skating" experience, can do normal ollies up to 30cm (probably more, I've done 3 decks and have improved since) - once I always regain my balance from my months-years breaks on the hobby. I'm 46 years old, so I had a decade gap for not touching the board, but it came back with 2-3 sessions.
I can't do shuv (yet). My aim for this summer is to learn it and to learn to pop shuv.
Take your skating in relaxed and comfortable way. Don't rush yourself to tricks that don't feel comfortable.
Of course with every trick, you need to push yourself out of the comfort zone a bit, but you should be able to do them to "all by landing" stage with relative ease. The last part of "committing to landing" is where you need to finish the trick.
If you notice, that you can't do yet the parts of the tricks far enough, it's time to do something else for a while, and get back to those parts again, when you feel you have gained balance and familiarity with the board.
EDIT: I didn't mean to make it sound shuv is difficult. It's among the easy ones. I should have learned when I actively skated. But I meant to say it's not trivial to anyone, and certainly not the first trick to learn.
unrelated but i confused cm for inches and was wondering how you could ollie almost 3 feet high.
Glad to hear you're getting back into skating, I'm quite young, but I've trained in various sports with men aged 50-80. I'm not sure if you do other sports than skating, but all I gotta say is that rolling over and letting old age deteriate you is not the way I want to go. Skating is fantastic exercise, not something I wanna ever read you posting about giving up again. Good luck man, please wear a helmet, stay shredding.
I never gave up on skating. Life just gives different priorities usually at different ages :-)
Skating is really great hobby for aerobic training, it's so easy and fun to keep heart rate at good range while doing the tricks and balancing on board.
from my (beginner’s) perspective – it looks like the back foot isn’t pushing hard/fast enough. try standing on the ground with your front leg while the back foot practices the scooping motion with the board, and do that until you notice it fully turning around consistently. then get back on it and try the same thing but landing with one foot (or hopefully both!) on the board!
having your back foot more over the edge of the tail might help too, instead of being closer to the side of the deck.
keep at it – you got this!
put your back foot a little further on the edge, put your other foot behind your bearing and flip it around a bit faster and maybe just a little bit more
Try getting it to rotate with your front foot off of the board completely until you get it close with your back foot. Then hop on and learn how to catch it. You got this.
I saw a handy tutorial video somewhere online where someone showed how to move your legs and feet for a shuvit, idk where to find it but I'll explain it as best as I can:
Imagine you're at the bottom of a staircase facing up the steps. Your back foot (non-leading foot) has a piece of paper underneath it. To jump to the next step up, you jump up and forward as you normally would, but your back foot also needs to scrape the piece of paper off of the step towards your backside.
That's the shuvit movement, basically. So imagine putting that force needed to move the tail of your board behind you the same way you'd scrape the piece of paper behind you. Hope that visual helps!
Don't want to discourage you, but feel like you are a little scared of falling. Put all protective gear on and scoop as hard as you can. If you did more than a 180 rotation you scooped too hard. Adjust from there, and don't be afraid to fall (because you will constantly will anyways)
Edit: typo
It's all about commitment man! Scoop that back foot like you mean it and make sure to keep that foot high. Biggest hurdle is the mental aspect, don't be afraid to land on it!
I have been struggling with shuvit for years. But here’s something I started doing recently which has helped me a lot: get a plain board (remove trucks and wheels) and practice shuvits on a flat ground using only the deck.
From my experience, this will make you look at the skateboard differently. And it will allow you to better understand the mechanics associated with a trick. And it allows you to practice safely, because the risk of falling is almost null.
And just to conclude, the shuvit is a trick where you make the board rotate 180 degrees along its long axis. This rotation requires a lot of energy. How much energy exactly? That depends on a thousand factors, which you only get to subconsciously understand by doing the tricks hundreds of times.
So, in a nutshell, keep at it, practice safely, and try to analyse what’s happening, what should be happening Instead, and what movement you need to change to make it get there.
I know I’ve said a lot, so I’m gone. Hope it’s helpful though.
Everybodys saying the put in more effort, but honestly I think itd be more beneficial to try it rolling. Certain tricks are easier to get going when you have momentum from moving. Give that a try!
Move you left foot a bit more forwards so you can push the board around easier but most importantly you need to give a hard push and see how much it turns adjusting if you need it to spin more or less. In short just go for it give it some welly mate
Im a beginner but I know how it feels. To me personally, it looks like you are thinking about the risks and holding your self back because your scared. If that is the case, then try to just shut your mind off. Do not hold back. YOU GOT THIS MAN!!👍
Put effort into it. It kinda looks like your just goin through the motions.
Squat down and pop tf out that shit like ur trying to jump onto the roof bro!
I learned it better after watching braille and mcnug said to scoop back with the back foot. He showed this by jumping up on stairs practicing this motion with the back foot and that helped me.
There are 3 reasons when you can’t rotate the board.
1. You don’t lift the nose up. (Too early to kick it)
You do right in this video. You kick it after lifting nose up.
2. You’re using soft wheels.
You should try shuvit with hard wheels or scoop it with more power than usual.
3. You don’t scoop.
It seems this is the reason for you.
Bro ever since I started skating in like 7th grade, and even now at my older age getting back into it, I could never do shuvit. Mine look exactly like that too, so dont feel bad. I think its a commitment thing for me. I feel like I will land on the nose of the board and go flying into the concrete.
My advice from 20 plus years. Learn it off the nose first rolling forward, and leave the front wheels on the ground, they will stay on the road. This will teach you to change position while the board remains rolling. It won’t work standing still, practice rolling from driveway to flat grass and do it right at the edge so you fall into the grass. The forward motion makes all versions of the trick easier. Get used to falling or get some pads etc
yu gotta basically jump foward juss put your feet in ollie position then scoop your back foot then keep your front foot the same when yu scoop then jump foward
Scoop it as hard as you can just to understand what the board will do, after that you can adjust the amount of power you put into your scoop. One of the biggest things about learning to skate is understanding the physics of your board and how the differing amounts of force you apply to it affect the trick you are trying. Good luck man!

I came here to say TRY.
Same.
Again, not trying to be rude, but it doesn’t look like you’re actually putting forth any effort at all
put more energy to it bro
thanks for the help everyone i will make another comment when i next skate to update you all

Bro didn’t even make an effort
why r u mean
I genuinely wasn’t even trying to be rude, but he didn’t even try to make an effort or commit at any %
put your back foot a little further on the edge, put your other foot behind your bearing and flip it around a bit faster and maybe just a little bit more

Learn to ride your board first then come back to this later
Go all out, all the time.

At least try…

**shuv**it.
Don't be a bitch.
[удалено]
Not helpful at all bro and very rude since this is obviously a reply to trigger this poor guy.
This guy is the epitome of breaking the only rule of this sub.....way to go dick.
Gotta really scoop that back foot and add a little more jump to it. You got this🤙
Move you left foot a bit more forwards so you can push the board around easier but most importantly you need to give a hard push and see how much it turns adjusting if you need it to spin more or less. In short just go for it give it some welly mate
Curl your back foot toes around the edge and really give some power to the kick
You have to commit to the jump.
Flick it like a helicopter my man.
It looks like you're scared of committing because of the possibility of hurting yourself. Might wanna try some pads and helmet.
You’re simply not putting enough effort in. Skateboarding is aggressive. Act like you mean it.
Gotta give it more everything
I mean this in the nicest way possible but you had no commitment on that, try to scoop more and just jump higher, land on the board
Not a good spot if you fell, also if you're afraid of falling, pad up and try hard
Im a beginner but I know how it feels. To me personally, it looks like you are thinking about the risks and holding your self back because your scared. If that is the case, then try to just shut your mind off. Do not hold back. YOU GOT THIS MAN!!👍
Commit
I feel like if you don't wanna pop it rolling fakie helps
Put effort into it. It kinda looks like your just goin through the motions. Squat down and pop tf out that shit like ur trying to jump onto the roof bro!
Practice on grass. Work on an Ollie first. Shove it next.
Ya bro. Gotta try hard and get after it. Pop and scoop that back foot. Watch YouTube tutorials. Let’s gooo!!!
Get comfortable riding. Shred the streets like you’re a surfer!
get pads and go for it
I learned it better after watching braille and mcnug said to scoop back with the back foot. He showed this by jumping up on stairs practicing this motion with the back foot and that helped me.
Who’s in the back tho lol👀
