How to do a Big Spin in 4 Minutes!

What this video teaches

Rob from GhostSkate keeps this tutorial tight, distinguishing the bigspin's board motion, a 360 shove-it, from the body's 180 rotation, and explicitly warning beginners not to try pivots until the shove-it and full body rotation are separately solid. Practice starts stationary before ever rolling.

Key tips

• 1Set the toes just over the shove-it edge of the board, slightly more forward than a standard shove-it stance
• 2Place the front foot just below the top four bolts at a slight angle
• 3Practice the spin standing still or moving very slowly first, if the board won't complete a full 360 standing still it isn't ready to try rolling
• 4Focus on the body's full 180 rotation rather than the board once rolling, thinking about both at once is too much
• 5Expect to land sideways often while first learning, that's a normal part of the process
• 6Hold off on learning pivots until the flick and full 180 rotation are both solid on their own
• 7Add pivots only after the fundamentals are dialed in, they help land it more consistently but add another variable too early
