The shuvit to nose pivot is a (backside) shuvit landed on the front truck followed by a backside nose pivot. This is not an easy trick. To learn this you need to learn the backside shuvit first ("shuvit" stands for "shove-it").

Feet setting:
-place your feet like you would for a backside shuvit.
-prepare to turn your upper body backside.
Execution:
1/ do a backside shuvit but turn your upper body 45° backside to prepare for the ipvot.
2/ catch the nose with the front foot then with your back foot to be sure to land in a kind of nose manual, try to have the back foot all the way across the board, having the toes hanging off the toe side can help for step 3/
3/ at the same time with 2/ do the backside pivot by using your back foot to do the remaining 135° and let the wheels rest on the floor.
4/ once the board has done the 180° nose pivot, let the upper body follow the rotation and center your weight to be able to roll switch after landing.
Tips:
-step 1/ and 2/ are easier to learn on a bank/slope because you won't have to roll away switch.
-learning shuvit to nose manual first should help.
Variations:
-this trick is helpfull to learn the backside bigspin.
-if you cancel the body rotation during the pivot you get a shuvit to varial.
-you can do a frontside shuvit to nose revert by replacing the backside shuvit by a fs shuvit (it's easier).
-you can do use many tricks to land in a backside nose pivot, for example with an impossible you get a chef salad.
