Hey all, well I'm starting to work on back bigs re entry and I always kinda fall like on that vid:

back big

thanks for any help, seems like I might catch the board a little too late and with my feet to close, from what I can tell lol

Nekkie, those look a lot like what i do. ive been working on them and it seems like im not throwing the board forward enough so i get ahead of it. i think you need to practice keeping the rope closer to your hips when you start the trick. it helps give me a little more control and keeps the rope from pulling you over the front and getting away from you. dont know about the feet problem cause i do the same thing.

these are just tips that help me but i havent gotten anything that im happy with yet. hopefully someone consistent with it will give some help Very Happy

i learned my bs bigs by watching kyle hyams do his. when i do them, i think about doin a 3 shov to late bs 1. i wait till the last second to spin the bs 1. it might help u keep ur feet spread apart

Nekkie, You can try what tahoe said or you can try the shuv catch, bs 180. try landing wrapped at first if you want.

It looks like in your video it would help to throw the board out in front of you a little more, keep your legs apart, and weight on the toes when you land. but its sick non the less man! you'll have them soon i'm sure. Cool

spread your feet, you are doing the exact same thing i used to do, try cutting out 2 i think its easier when u cut out pretty far, get a tiny bit of slack in the rope and pop it. When landing look at your back foot untill u pass the handle. youll get it dont worry. Surprised

think of catching it 270 and then spinning and i land wrapped...it also looked like you stomped your feet down a little to hard with your feet to close together...btw i like the choice of music their new album is pretty darn good

try to kick the board out in front of you more it looks like its goin behind and making you catch the edge of the board and when you land look at the shore not at your board because that will keep you over your toes
