01 This trick is a useful as an introduction to big spins, if you haven't learned any of the variations. A big spin is basically a 360 shove it with your body doing a 180 over the top. Make sure your comfortable riding fakie and have a solid bs shove it at the very least. Roll fakie with your feet in the usual pop shove it position (back foot slightly more over the toe edge of the tail, front foot just behind the front truck bolts).

02 As you crouch, coil in the opposite direction you'll be spinning (like for a 180). This will help you spin the shove it round further with your momentum in your 180 over
the top.

03 As your body rises for the pop, start to uncoil and begin your rotation backside. Here it gets tricky, as even though you and your board are heading in the same direction, your board needs be going much faster than your body in order to get 360º whilst your body does just 180º.

04 When you pop and begin to get off the ground remember the shove it motion, using your back foot to push the tail behind you. This will be aided by the fakie 180 your doing over the top, and give the shove it a bit more power to get around more towards the 360 mark than the usual 180. Use your front foot to keep the board from flipping.

06 As you finish your rotation and land remember that you'll still have momentum from all the rotation, so allow your arms to finish the rotation to make sure you don't continue turning. Remember - you don't have to get the shove it around the full 360, catch it at about 270º (three quarters round) and use your body to take it the rest of the way.
