One on One Trick tip - FS Big Spin

What this video teaches

Lamont Holt's one-on-one coaching session with a beginner distills the frontside big spin into a single memorable cue: it's all in the toe scoop. Alongside foot placement and staying centered over the board, he repeatedly returns to winding the shoulders up hard as the thing that actually drives the rotation around.

Key tips

• 1Place your front foot all the way up by the bolts
• 2Wind your shoulders up hard before popping, a good windup is what drives the rotation
• 3Stay centered directly above the board rather than leaning too far over it in either direction
• 4Scoop the back foot off your toes rather than a flat push
• 5Catch the board with your front foot as it comes back around
• 6Build up enough speed first, more speed makes the rotation easier to complete
• 7Remember the trick comes down to one thing: the toe scoop combined with a strong shoulder wind-up
