What this video teaches
Two clips from Skate IQ's 50-trick rundown cover fakey big spin and nollie backside big spin, framing the big spin family as a feel trick built on power and consistent rotation rather than a precise technical setup. Useful for understanding big spin as a variation-friendly trick once the base rotation is consistent, which carries over to the bigspin half of a bigspin impossible.
Key tips
- Nail your regular backside shove-its and rotation fundamentals first, big spins in any stance are built entirely on that base
- Set up, focus, and rotate like you would for a 360, really throw the rotation rather than easing into it
- Pair a strong jump with a committed shove-it, underpowering either one is what causes the board to under-rotate
- Watch the board spin while you are spinning yourself, learning to read it mid-rotation is what lets you land it consistently
- Big spins are a feel trick, meaning more rotational power generally produces a more consistent result, hold back and you will likely under-rotate
- Know exactly where you are aiming to land on the board so you can shrink an oversized, sloppy rotation into a clean, small one
- The board flying underneath you while you are still spinning is disorienting at first, expect that and keep repping it until it feels normal
- Practice the rotation until it is consistent and predictable before trying to combine it with anything else
