What this video teaches
SKATEDELUXE frames the backside big spin as a backside 180 fused with a pop shove-it, where the board completes a full 360 while the body only turns 180. The tutorial's distinct angle is treating the shoulders as the engine for the body rotation, winding them up before the pop, and describing a two-stage catch where the board is grabbed around 90 degrees into the spin and the remaining rotation is finished by the body turning with it.
Key tips
- Place your front foot near the bolts of the front truck, similar to a kickflip stance
- Center your back foot on the tail with your toes angled slightly over the front edge to help load the scoop
- Wind your shoulders up before you pop, bending down and turning them to build the 180 rotation ahead of time
- Scoop the tail hard and behind you so the board gets the full 360, not just a partial turn
- Move your front foot only slightly out and up in the direction the board is spinning, don't overcommit it
- Catch the board on the bolts around 90 degrees into the spin, then keep turning your body with it to finish the remaining rotation
- Expect to land short of the full 180 at first, that's normal early on, keep repeating until the timing clicks
