HOW TO BIG SPIN THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL 2024! by Braille Skateboarding is a skateboarding tutorial for the Bigger Spin. Braille walks through prerequisite tricks, the ollie, backside 180, and pop shove-it, before isolating the back foot's 360-shove-it motion from the front foot's role as a control point.
What this video teaches
Braille walks through prerequisite tricks, the ollie, backside 180, and pop shove-it, before isolating the back foot's 360-shove-it motion from the front foot's role as a control point. It offers a slowed-down shove-it-then-turn cheater step and a fakie entry method as easier on-ramps to the full trick.
Key tips
- Confirm the ollie, backside 180, and pop shove-it are solid before attempting a bigspin
- Practice the shove-it-then-turn cheater step slowly: shove the board, land briefly on the nose, then pivot the body around
- Know the front truck as the pivot point for the 180 portion, and drill that pivot on its own
- Treat the back foot's motion as a 360 shove-it: keep the front foot close to the board as a control point throughout
- Try a jump-spin practice step: get the board's 360 motion and the body's 180 motion going while stepping off with the back foot before committing to land
- Learn it fakie first, opposite foot forward, since fakie starts you already on the pivot point and needs no pop to work
- Build up from a no-pop fakie shove-and-turn to adding pop once the motion feels natural
- Keep the front foot close to the board to avoid landing primo, and use the pivot point as a backup if the spin comes up short
