Big Spin

A big spin is a 360 pop shove-it with a backside body varial. OR... a backside 180 with an extra pop shove-it.

To do a big spin you should first know how to do backside 180's and pop shove-it's. Once you can do those you should be ready to attempt a big spin. Even though a big spin sounds hard, it really isn't

You should first try a big spin riding fakie (backwards). Ride fakie. Then wind up your body like you are going to backside half-cab. Then ollie and unwind. As you spin around towards your stomach and are about to land kick your board ian the same direction you are spinning. In other words you should make the board continue its previous spin and speed up faster than you are so that it spins another 180 really quickly before you land it.

Ride away cleanly.

Big Spin Flip

(A 360 flip and a body varial the same way.)

Also sometimes known as a Big Spin Kickflip.

1. Ride really fast.
2. Put your feet the same as a 360 flip.
3. Turn your upper body in a backside 180 and when in 90 degrees pop a 360 flip but dont lose your turning momentum. Its important that you wind up your body and not begin the flip trick until you have already begun to spin your body and your body has turned 90 degrees. I.e. You feet are following your upper body around. Your upper body is not following your feet.
4. Land with style.
5. You must have as much momentum as possible when turning.
6. Now do it into a nose bluntslide.
