What this video teaches

Abdul for Cotton Mouth Skateboards gives a very short, mostly clip-driven trick tip. The spoken instruction is limited to prerequisites: he says you need the backside big spin and the backside 180 before attempting the gazelle, and describes the trick as putting those pieces together into a 360 rotation. Most of the running time is footage rather than breakdown, so treat this as a look at the trick rather than a step-by-step tutorial.

Key tips

  • Learn the backside big spin before attempting the gazelle spin
  • Learn the backside 180 as the other building block, then combine the two
  • The trick is framed as popping a backside shove-it with a backside 180 and carrying it into a full 360 rotation
  • Mostly a clip reel rather than a detailed breakdown, so pair it with a longer tutorial for mechanics
