Frontside Bigspin
The Front-Facing Spin
A Frontside Bigspin consists of a frontside 360 pop shove-it while the rider turns their body 180 degrees frontside. It is often considered more difficult than the backside version due to the way the board moves in front of the rider.

📈 Detailed Frontside Bigspin Execution
Loading...
Wind Up and Pop
Wind up your shoulders for the frontside 180 turn. Pop and scoop the tail forward and around for the 360 shove-it.
Rotate and Follow
As you pop, turn your body 180 degrees frontside. The board will rotate in front of you.
Catch and Land
Keep your eyes on the board, catch it with your front foot, and pivot on it to complete your body rotation. Land and ride away.
Golden Tip!
The key is to keep the board in front of you and use your front foot to guide it and stop the rotation. The body turn and board scoop need to be perfectly synchronized.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
Board doesn't rotate the full 360: You need a very powerful and precise scoop.
Board gets away from you: Try to stay more centered and jump straight up.
Difficulty landing back on the board: This is a timing issue. Practice catching it with just your front foot first.
