Shown for a regular-footed rider riding nollie. Teal ring + arrow = the rider's facing direction; teal band = the tail; a dot is where a hand holds the board - bright yellow for the front hand, amber for the back one, which is the whole difference between a mute and an indy. Board and rider rotate independently - each follows its own component. Drag to orbit.

How it works

A bigspin popped from the nose: the front foot snaps and scoops the nose so the board wraps 360 degrees backside while the body rotates 180 backside, landing fakie. Scooping a full wrap from the nose against forward travel while simultaneously initiating body rotation makes the timing far tighter than the regular or fakie versions - the front foot must finish its scoop before the turning hips pull it off line.

Step by step

  1. Roll in nollie position with the front foot deep in the nose pocket, shoulders slightly wound frontside.
  2. Snap the nose and scoop it through a full backside wrap.
  3. Release the shoulders backside and turn the body 180 as the board spins.
  4. Keep the hovering back foot above the deck's pivot through the wrap.
  5. Catch with both feet as rotations complete and land rolling fakie.

Body mechanics

Front footDelivers the nose pop and full wrap scoop, then rotates with the body to the catch.
Back footHovers level, tracking the spinning deck, and catches first.
ShouldersFrontside pre-wind, backside release synchronized to the nose snap.
ArmsCompact and quick; there is little hang time to correct.
GazeDown at the wrap, then over the shoulder to the fakie landing.
