I finally learned these today after 13 years of off and on skating! :D I'll tell you what I finally figured out after doing them wrong and never landing them for so many years. First foot placement is your front foot about an inch below the bolts with your toes hanging off and the ball of your big toe right on the rail. I like to keep that foot straight as well. I tried turning it in towards my back foot but it just wasn't working. Next your back foot needs to be curved with your toes pointing towards the tail with the ball of your big toe in the pocket and your heel hanging off. Now it's all in the setup. You get rolling and first I wind my shoulders backside then I bend my knees and get ready to pop. Now as you pop you need to unwind your shoulders frontside at the same time good and fast so that by the time you finish your pop you're already turned almost 90 degrees. Now also at the same time as your doing all of this you need to scoop and pop good and hard and make sure you suck your feet up and commit. If you keep chicken footing you'll never land it. Now here's the issue I have always had. I could spin it 360 front side no problem that's all in the back foot placement and pop/scoop. I could turn with the board. But I would always land way ahead of the board with my front foot (which after the spin is my back foot) in the center or even the front bolts and my back foot (again now after spin is my front foot) about 12 inches past the nose on the ground. What finally fixed this was when your popping your trick all the while winding your shoulders and scooping hard when you take off you need to be leaning into the trick so that the board stays ahead of you and under your feet. So as you pop you lean back and to the side just enough to send it in front of you and from that point it's all just a matter of committing and sucking up your feet straightening out from the lean and landing when it's full. By the way you don't need to know fs 360 pops at all cause I can't do em. I'm sure it would help knowing the scoop but it's not necessary. Just get your front pops and 180s down like he said. So if you can combine all those elements at the moment of the pop and commit with enough tries and determination you'll walk away having landed your first front big!! Cheers now get out there and shred!!

[@Hexstra]

vince martinez thanks alot! i had the same problem

[@jayfelix9553]

why was this comment more detailed than the actual video

[@aaavi8102]

[@apenkunnenvliegen]

[@ssj360fan13]

Clean af 🧼

[@DjangoBones]

I met this dude back in 2005 when the Emerica team came through Hays, KS. One of the nicest people to meet and kick it with. Plus his bigspins are pretty much on point.

[@YoMintyy]

Tip! If u are stuck on the landing on the Fs Big Spin, try to just do a FS Shuv it and try landing on the front wheels and then pivot it 180 degrees FS. It will help you get the hang of it

[@pj081963]

dude I love your loose chill style!

[@TheAstropotatoe]

damn son..... dat back foot dangling like a boss!

[@JonnyDIY]

Awesome trick and nice pop 👏💕👍

[@joshkukl]

love this guy

[@MyWolves4life]

Clean AF!!!

[@Jeremyramone]

same here, i can switch front pop so much better than regs, same with bigspins, the fakie back bigspin seems easiest and most fun for me. cheers

[@daphantom6632]

Very very clean style

[@NikomaGrob]

Ooooh thanks !!

[@natethecalijiu]

He does them so clean

[@ColonelFlickage]

I think I might have just figured these out. Can't wait to try lol

[@LoliMaruchan]

Man! I really need to get my fs shuvs down. This video just wants to make me do them more

[@nosmanual]

Bring theese back

[@xDevino]

yeeee marquis!

[@alexwangombe8534]

If you're goofy, you rotate clockwise for a frontside 180, and counterclockwise for a backside 180. That's also true for nollie and fakie, but the opposite for switch stance (backside would be clockwise). For grinds, if you are facing the rail/ledge before you ollie, it's frontside; if your back is to the rail/ledge before the pop, it's backside.

[@dioakata]

his fs bigspin is one of the best in the game.

[@sharkyys1457]

Dope !

[@jakedodsonjake]

that is sick.

[@dioakata]

for goofy stance. fs is when turn to the right. and bs is to your left. but when grinding or sliding. fs is when the rail/ledge in front of you and bs is when your back facing the rail/ledge.

[@odiolascebollas]

THANKS ! C :

[@ashmyblunt]

I have a hard time getting a fs 360 motion. How can I scoop hard enough for frontside? I don’t have the problem for bs shuvs and 360s

[@1nvd]

My personal favorite trick. Just front shuv hard and aim for 90 then catch it! All one motion

[@TomCinnabonBaire]

Finally a front big trick tip.

[@carlbrohus486]

When I try this it just goes 10 miles behind me. I find them way easier nollie :)

[@RJ-fi9zo]

Yeah nollie stance is def easier for this trick

[@sambasambasamba6931]

R J I think fs bigspin super hard, much harder than bs

[@leonardofioravanti8682]

well because nollie is basically like fakie where any spin going “backwards” will spin way easier than going “regular”

[@oflvmes]

just pop harder homie

[@christianokeefe9032]

I love Long Beach

[@ztait]

best fs bigs in the game

[@DirtyGhettoBirds]

i learn how to fs bigspin from him yesterday then i did it down a 4 stair 3 times in 8 minutes the same day so he know what he is talking about

[@BGproduction12]

Nassim has the Best!

[@PaulCedrickBularan]

Bigspins are the coolest

[@StreetWarrior24]

I smell a pro model on the way soon!

[@leonardocook6608]

Dude this trick is so easy I landed it after like 30 minutes it came naturally for me now I'm just trying to get them cleaner but they are soo easy

[@nathancajan8548]

+leonardo cook I like that its all momentum, if you just wind up and spin its really easy.

[@woshua3143]

ayyee my name is leonardo too but everyone calls me leo

[@joshlangille7377]

sure

[@TheWildThingOfficial]

only RIDE channel uploads videos at 2 am.

[@ErikCalabaza]

@DoktorIKowalski Ill try，since you goofy, this would be backside, youre riding, you pop, turning your shoulders the tail of your board goes this way --->. FS would be when the tail of your board swings around the opposite way

[@BBDRUMS28]

I agree for some reason I can do them way easier nollie and switch.

[@twb45792]

he does them so well at first i literally thought it was a f180 until i saw the high camera view XD

[@Chaad4]

mad respect for calling them front POPS not front shuvs!!!!!!

[@ManWaffle8]

Cleanest fs bigspins ever

[@sk8micke]

awsome trick tip, helped me alot.... i had no idea you just have to put fs 180 and fs shuvs together... same with backside flip just a kickflip and a 180.... a REAL tip would be appreciated.....

[@bryanflo4500]

aha, that's cool. DO you shred gnar gnar?

[@RealisticSkater]

Finaly a fs biggie trick tip

[@skaterjay86]

looks like his front foot does come into it on this trick. he shoves it round 270 then brings the rest of the 180 round with his front foot. It looks sick!

[@christianSTAR]

n00b

[@FreekickThinker]

What shoes is he wearing?

[@KeithStealth]

I think the shoes are Reynolds cruisers?? if im not mistaken.. but yeah he has this trick swagged out, I come closer to landed it switch than regular.. does anybody else have this problem aswell

[@iamfazeperez2616]

hey do you guys think this is weird I can't backside shuv but I can front shuv ,front shuvs are easy for me backside shuvs are hard for me

[@mikef.3739]

Everybody's different, so no. It's alright.

[@filthysquad1958]

+Nate Perez Yeah everyone is different someone asked me that a while back

[@cristianarango8035]

a un sigo sin hacerlo nnoooooooooooo

[@Fr3do906]

feel like the more hang time the more nice it will look you feel me

[@Kieran7]

FS- Your back foot goes forward (toeside) BS- Heelside

[@seanyoyoboy]

his style is fuckin amazin

[@tylerk.5220]

Honestly can't put front pops and front 180's together I have both of them on lock but can't get a solid scoop

[@AmnesiacBanana]

Try to pop them, it makes them easier and makes them spin nicely. Also commit alot.

[@XgremyX]

cruisers

[@TedDidlioBro]

@joshkukl

[@sidecityscripture]

he should teach ppl how to frontside flip over that little 3-stair looking ledge thing (idk wtf to call it) at cherry park. hahah. would be funniest trick tip ever.

[@FrenziedTV]

i read "With Marquis Preston" i was like f*ck yes!

[@JellyLungs]

word

[@davidchapman5368]

my first time landing one was off a picnic table haha

[@Huntrea9]

swag

[@einarcraft2000MC]

I find these easy switch but super hard regular

[@0000amlak]

do you need 360 front shuv?

[@gloA1Prod]

u dont need to have them just scoop hard and pop so u can catch it

[@jphjphjph]

I thought taking them down a small ledge "like a 3 stair" was actually a really good tip, thats how i learned them

[@berksengun1118]

nice glasses

[@HeyzuseKeane]

I find these easier switch

[@DoktorIKowalski]

Can someone explain the difference between FS and BS to me? I know it's about in what direction you turn but I just don't get it :/ btw: I'm goofy if you wanna explain it to me by telling my in what direction I would turn

[@steven14nike]

I got his board

[@BonesofGoldSkateboarding]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiSSSSSSSSSSSSSS :D

[@TheTwinkeeBoi]

Wtf i got fs 3 shuv and fs 180s but when i try these the board flips over so its almost a big heel -__-

[@hebrewsfl]

I can do this out of grinds but not on flat

[@BossLimes]

Butter

[@HeshGnome]

probably his emerica pro model

[@OgichiDark]

@Will Fenwick It's to get a good start and to get some airtime. Now, eat a snickers, you're antsy.

[@xxxxROCKxxxxMETALxxx]

like

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

I can do them fakie but not reg

[@darthradoo]

emerica reynolds cruisers

[@AnotherSantaCruzSk8r]

fakies the easiest actually. Its just a matter of keeping the board under your feet and not letting it fly out in front of you when you shuv it out as you spin.

[@ska8er4myholelife]

I did it down a ledge but I can't do them flat lol.

[@RRguitaristTC]

nollie bs bigspin rite?

[@datguy9408]

I swear I do this trick all the time but I refuse to record myself do tricks 😭

[@6969bfmv]

lets get Justin Brock out there to show how they're done..

[@JSToby12]

Anyone else notice the girl trying to do a back tail at 1:20?

[@chrisp6283]

He forgot might wanna practice frontside 360 shuv its first to get that feel going first

[@X9alpha9X]

Or maybe they upload in Europe

[@godlovesskaters7721]

You have to turn your shoulders and think "POP" not scoop pop as hard as you can. He doesnt even Scoop if you look its all pop and catch

[@StraightAze]

Godlovesskaters looks like a scoop to me. feels like a scoop to me. its probably a scoop haha

[@Whyhazeleyes]

Oh my god they look just alike~

[@sarlurob]

Nollie, switch, fakie are sooo much easier than regular. I can't regular fs bigspin for my life.

[@shnerpler]

so much easier switch

[@VolcomLetsLive1]

Fakie Frontside is so easy.

[@ImTooAbstract]

I don't agree with him when he says the front foot doesn't matter. Before this tricktip I never used to hang my toes off on my front foot, but I tried it like that and I was finally able to land them.

[@icarusshepherd1724]

i bet this man can do this with his eyes closed

[@MRAWESOMECRIS]

I can only do it switch .-.

[@TheBlakus420]

For real. I can't even do em fakie

[@greeksdorok]

well i mean thats just common sense,if you do anything frontside you usually hang your toes off... same reasoning for a backside bigpin or popshuv it, you have your heel hanging off..

[@talondillabough9540]

yea brah, like say you do a FS 360 pop shuvit, you just BS body 180

[@TheUndeadArmy121]

nevermind man I got that wrong. With a bigspin, just do a 360 popshuv it and spin with the board but only for a 180. you dont really put two tricks together, you more-so just do a 360 shuv and a spin. if you spin the opposite way of the board, you just did a sex change variant

[@hapmorgan6339]

So it's basically a frontside 360 shuv sexchange

[@dzmason7]

Hap Morgan no because then your body would rotate bs.

[@antonioaguirre5524]

@@dzmason7 Exactly

[@TheTwinkeeBoi]

What the poop. I can bs bigspin, fs shuv, fs 180, and fs 3 shuv but not fs bigspin

[@factsbigones]

mine always flip and it pisses me off lol im gonna try them in the morning tho

[@filthysquad1958]

+Joe Gerace Same bruh

[@factsbigones]

I figured it out, when you scoop with your backfoot try to use a bit of your heel its crazy

[@filthysquad1958]

+Joe Gerace oh ok I'll try it man thanks
