jump higher, get a board with kicktails, and preload your spin more. I find it also helps to be rolling a little faster to get this trick.

You just need to commit your weight onto your front (left) foot to land.  See how your back (right) foot lands well before your board is done spinning?

Another thing that helps me is to really focus on flicking backwards with your right foot when the board is at 90 degrees.  This helps the board to spin, but also gets me jumping forward more, which is where the board will be.

You can also try learning half-cabs first.  The landing feels similar.

Good luck!

When i do them, i land a bit tail heavy so i get i bit more turn time. it helps try to catch it like just over 90 degrees and keeps turning your body and land tail heavy

don't throw the board so far in front of your self by not scooping the spin with your back foot as much, other wise it looks like your doin all the right things

i find, it helps to make it easier on yourself  Yeah dude, right on! instead of trying to spin a 360 shuvit and do a 180, do a 90* pivot, then do a shuvit, land on the tail and finish your rotation by 90*  Courtesy of Zachasaurus
