HOW TO BIGSPIN THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL
HOW TO BIGSPIN THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL by Braille Skateboarding is a skateboarding tutorial for the Bigspin Impossible. Aaron Cairo breaks the bigspin down as a fusion of a pop shove-it and a backside 180, teaching it through a two-stage progression: first isolating the shoulder rotation with a standing pop shove-it catch, then layering in the full back foot scoop needed to bring the board all the way around.
What this video teaches
Aaron Cairo breaks the bigspin down as a fusion of a pop shove-it and a backside 180, teaching it through a two-stage progression: first isolating the shoulder rotation with a standing pop shove-it catch, then layering in the full back foot scoop needed to bring the board all the way around. Recommends having pop shove-its and backside 180s solid before attempting the combined trick.
Key tips
- Have your pop shove-its and backside 180s solid before starting on bigspins, this trick is the two combined
- Set your front foot slanted just below the bolts and your back foot on the tail with your toe hanging off the edge to load the scoop
- Isolate the shoulder rotation first: practice a standing pop shove-it, catching the nose with your front foot while turning your shoulders and upper body all the way around
- Drill the back foot scoop separately off the board, practicing a 360 pop shove-it scoop motion with just your back foot until it feels automatic
- Turn your shoulders with the board rather than waiting for your feet to catch up, your feet naturally follow the shoulder rotation
- Keep your front foot stuck to the board the entire time just like a regular pop shove-it, guiding it through the catch
- Scoop the back foot hard through the full 360 while your body turns with it, this scoop is the actual engine of the trick, not the pop
- Don't worry about having a perfect pop shove-it first, consistent scoop and shoulder rotation matter more than pop quality
