front bigs

just started trying fs bigspins yesterday and can't seem to land right. everytime i land i just slip right out on my back, i'm thinking its cause i'm only landing 90 and not the full 180 Confused

. any suggestions?

carpet skate it, learn to land feet spread apart with knees bent.

tht or tramp board.... u really want to kind of wait for the fs shuv... like think wait till you pop it to spin it. that will really let the board release a little easier and spin all the way... just follow it around 180 and land over ur toes... thts the hardest part

it also helps a little bit to try it re-entry or i/o... the board will release alot easier

daniel, will do, i'll definitley give that a try,

cenflskate, do you mean almost act like i'm making the front shuv late?

not late, but just wait a lil longer to do the shuv than you think you would...

like if you shuv as soon as you go to pop it ur boards not gonna get any pop or just catch... you gotta pop then shuv

trick nailer had some good advice he said to throw it more like a frontside 180 than a fs 3 shuv

also its super important to land over your toes, otherwise you'll just keep slipping out over your heels

Edge out slowly, have handle in back-hand, open up chest, and really scoop the fs 3 shuv.

sandiegoskate, I think its easiest to do them reentry, the board release is way softer but thats not where i learned them. What i like to do is cut out alot less then most of my other flats tricks, and flatten off for just a quick second and pretend your poppin a huge 180 but just give it that extra push to shuv it around. I almost wait for a second after i pop the 180 to kick it, especally inside out and switch inside out i wait a second before i kick it so im in the air long enough and it looks better i think.

-=AlexXx=-, i used the one that BT said to stay on your heels when popping it and it help to get mine a little more consistent

try it switch i/o, they are easier to do switch IMO.
