How-To Skateboarding: Frontside Bigspin With Marquis Preston
How-To Skateboarding: Frontside Bigspin With Marquis Preston by RIDE Channel is a skateboarding tutorial for the Frontside Big Spin. A brief, stripped-down tip from Marquis Preston that frames the frontside bigspin purely as combining a solid frontside pop shove-it with a frontside 180, and insists the trick is all back foot so the front foot doesn't need to be steered or worried about mid-flip.

Key tips
- Nail your frontside pop shove-it and frontside 180 separately before combining them into the bigspin
- Set your back foot in the corner pocket of the tail to load the frontside shove-it rotation
- Hang your front foot off the board slightly, similar to a heelflip position, without worrying about its exact angle
- Trust that the trick is entirely back-foot driven, let your front foot simply lift and wait for the catch
- Pop the frontside shove-it first, then let the 180 rotation follow from the same motion rather than treating them as separate steps
- Take the trick off a curb, ledge, or small stair set first for extra hang time while you're still learning it
- Don't stress about exactly how or where the board flips under your front foot, the catch will happen naturally once timing is right
