50 Flatground Tricks You Need to Know
50 Flatground Tricks You Need to Know by Skate IQ is a skateboarding tutorial for the Bigger Spin. Pulled from a 50-trick flatground compilation, this entry covers two bigspin variants back to back: the fakie bigspin, which leans on regular backside shove-it fundamentals plus a strong jump, and the nollie backside bigspin, framed as a feel trick you land by deliberately under-rotating at first and reading where the board sits.
What this video teaches
Pulled from a 50-trick flatground compilation, this entry covers two bigspin variants back to back: the fakie bigspin, which leans on regular backside shove-it fundamentals plus a strong jump, and the nollie backside bigspin, framed as a feel trick you land by deliberately under-rotating at first and reading where the board sits. Both segments emphasize getting comfortable watching the board spin underneath you rather than forcing the rotation.
Key tips
- For the fakie bigspin, rely on the same fundamentals as a regular backside shove-it, just add a strong jump on top
- Set up, focus, and rotate the fakie bigspin like a 360 shove-it, really throwing the board rather than easing into it
- For the nollie backside bigspin, start by getting comfortable under-rotating both the board and the body rather than chasing a full spin immediately
- Aim to land at 90 degrees first with a shape resembling the trick before trying to close the full rotation
- Know in advance which part of the board you'll land on, near the tail, and aim the front foot at that spot for an easy finish
- Treat successful reps as one smooth continuous motion rather than a series of separate corrections
- Get used to watching and reading the board spin underneath you like a helicopter blade, reacting instead of fighting it
- Build comfort with predictable, consistent board rotation before adding either a fakie or nollie stance on top
