Another great was is to use a slide boost right before its gonna hit you.  Its very very nifty how it works, definately intentional.

do what bill said, only wait for the warning arrow to appear behind you.  you'll have a much better chance of hitting it.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Try not to turn after the drop or the item will miss the shell.

Occasionally you can dodge a shell without a boost.  IF you time it perfectly you can turn around the shell.  The boost helps of course though.  The technique only works if the sheel is coming at you from the side.
