How to Fs Bigspin

What this video teaches

A casual, results-focused breakdown that treats the frontside bigspin as a frontside shove-it and frontside 180 fused together, with the core cue being an exaggerated scoop that nearly sends the board out in front of the rider. Recommends practicing on hips or small stair sets first since the extra hang time makes completing the rotation easier than on flat ground.

Key tips

• 1Set up like a frontside shove-it with your back foot on the back end of the tail, ready to generate maximum scoop power
• 2Wind your shoulder up while still looking forward in the direction you're traveling, keeping that arm loaded to unleash the turn
• 3Scoop the frontside shove-it as hard as you possibly can, almost hard enough that the board shoots out in front of you
• 4Leave your back foot extended out after the scoop instead of pulling it back in, since it becomes your front foot on the switch landing
• 5Catch the board with your front foot, and expect to sometimes land on it first before your back foot comes down
• 6Practice on a hip or small stair set before flat ground, the extra hang time makes it much easier to complete the full rotation
• 7If the board isn't rotating fully, the fix is almost always a harder scoop or better back-foot placement, not more body spin
• 8Focus your effort on the scoop and let the landing sort itself out, treat the wind-up and forward gaze as constants
