What this video teaches

A short, no-frills demonstration of the frontside bigspin from Skate Warehouse, treating it as a 360 shove-it paired with a 180 body varial in the same rotational direction. It recommends practicing off small obstacles into grass before attempting it on flat ground.

Key tips

  • Confirm frontside shove-its and frontside 180s are solid, and pivots help too, before learning this trick
  • Set the front foot up high on the board and the back foot in the pocket for a strong whip
  • Pop while starting the 180 body rotation, aiming to catch the shove-it around the 90 degree mark
  • Rotate the rest of the way after the initial catch before coming down to land
  • Get a firm feel on the grip tape in the pocket of the tail to whip the board around hard for a full rotation
  • Practice off a curb, small ramp, or kicker into grass first to get comfortable before trying it on flat ground
