The KEYS to BACKSIDE BIGSPINS!

[@Chris-bw9bq]

I love how we can get personally taught by a pro and get their tips and insight into tricks. Coming from skating in the late 90's I still feel blessed guys like Tom take their time to help others learn for free, it's an awesome time to be a skateboarder.

[@ABetterName22]

Not only is he a pro but he’s the official winner of the flat ground skate competition which is way cooler.

[@theramplocal]

Also I'm a huge fan of Tom's style. Dude looks sick on the board

[@tomasta]

@@theramplocal😊 thank you

[@ramseyaaronr]

Totally! I grew up watching tony hawk’s trick tips videos but now you can just watch Tom asta’s yt channel! So much better!

[@kenneththam2480]

@@ramseyaaronr I hold a grudge against trick tip videos from that era, zero insight and they were just "do x trick, catch the board, bend your knees to absorb the impact, roll away" videos 😠

[@taLLdavid33]

You were smokin everyone in that game of skate. You forced Sewa to dig deep into his bag of tricks too. Was nice to see you involved with the other skaters on youtube.thanks man love from FL

[@tomasta]

thanks! had a blast hanging with those dudes for the day. glad you enjoyed it !

[@edgauthier3348]

Bro we love the details, dont skimp on the details! We dont get to puck the mind of a pro everyday.. Love your trick tip vids Tom 👌🏽 Top tier

[@tomasta]

thank you! sometimes I feel like i’m yapping too much. but I know the importance of the details! ❤ glad you enjoyed!

[@NKultra1]

Ayyy I’m 38 years old and because of your video I just landed on some of my first backside big spins (didn’t ride away tho) Thanks for the keys g! I’m riding away next session for sure

[@theramplocal]

Bigspin back tail is such a perfect looking trick. Too sick

[@j1shin]

Agreed! Really beautiful. 💯

[@antonmyhrvold]

100 % ❤

[@Danwebz]

Great tips man. been meaning to level up my bigspins for a while and this def inspired me to take it to the rail

[@tomasta]

yo thank you! I watch your vids quite a bit as well. keep killing it 🍻

[@slayer1084]

You and Mitchie Brusco give the most helpful trick tips and if I wasn’t such a tired dad I’d get out there and learn these tricks. lol

[@q3whocares]

never heard this guy talk before youtube. he would always ride through love park and show us no love. after i found out what he did for jah i grew to respect him. keep doing your thing tom.

[@TheRadScientist_]

That game of skate between you and Joa was hilarious lol two of my fav YT skaters duking it out

[@tomasta]

haha it was a good time

[@TheRadScientist_]

@@tomasta hell yeah also no disrespect you’re a legend in the skate community so didn’t mean to reduce you to a YT skater but hopefully you know what I meant haha

[@nathanskates98]

That kids a fukin loser honestly.. acted like such a childish fool that whole day. So cringy

[@bananaclipper7692]

not only did i relearn backside bigspins in 1 day because of this video, but the whole part about using the flat part of your foot made my shuv its better and unlocked fs shuv for me. thanks tom

[@kenneththam2480]

This (along with the holding grinds / slides video) is a top tier trick tip, none of that "pop shove it and do a late 180" BS. Highlighting the back / front foot placement, weight distribution, shoulders and where to look afterwards is everything older trick tips (I'm looking at you Transworld mag and Show Me The Way) were missing. Finally landed some clean ones today after watching this video after years of under-rotated 270 ones. I'd love to see the FS Big Spin tutorial, keep this series going!!

[@GravelordWrust]

Seeing the catch in slow motion is a thing of beauty, man.

[@DrivingandDelivering]

I’ve watched that final game over 10 times.

[@lunasdadskates]

Hardbody karate. Thank you for this, been trying for years to no avail but now I’m gettin them almost every try. Just needed a breakdown from the best.

[@jasonbourne489]

I’ve been waiting for a bigspin tutorial and Tom pulls through with it🙏🏽🙏🏽 thanks Tom

[@sodaseedz9045]

Thanks to you Tom I’ve dialed in so many tricks that I have been doing slightly wrong for years. Appreciate you and your dedication to teach brother!

[@EMPERORAFRO]

man i remember watching you like 15 years ago and was recognized for that hand that sticks out wen you skate aha man crazy watching you grow up all dese years glad i found the channel i was planning to start skating again after stopping 6/7 years ago but i did it for 13 yrs soo hopefully i ain’t too rusty😂😂

[@joshuakim802]

I stopped watching skate videos because of my desk job and I just don't get to skate nowadays and skating has just become very frustrating - But watching this video, watching how clean your bigspins are is making me love skating, I can't wait for tomorrow so I can go skate on Saturday - I appreciate your content, you've always been one of my favourite people to watch, it's so sick you made this whole channel, I love it, thank you

[@ilftc8892]

was badass to see you compete in the dumb data skate comp, would love to see you colab more with those guys. thanks for the great content

[@ontheflyphil]

Damn, you're sick with it! Love the big spin backtail

[@MastahOp]

Yo, thanks dude! I’ve been struggling with BS bigspins forever, and your tip completely unlocked them for me! I’ve watched tons of trick tips, but no one ever mentioned keeping the back foot flat down. Got them down in just a few tries! Thanks Tom

[@TauPack2222]

Super good tips, thanks Tom! Your bigspins are dope 💯👌

[@jamiepeirce526]

I love how skating is so perfect now. I used to barely pop them and land on my front wheels so if you didn’t go all the way you just completed the 180. Bad late 90s form I guess but that trick still feels so good.

[@kaleem_k]

Gotta try this again! I have a reliable pop-shuv and have been working on bs 180s a lot, but haven't figured out the bigspin yet. Thanks Tom!

[@sk8_bort]

Bigspins were one of the biggest missing pieces in my skateboarding. I've been practicing them this whole week non-stop and I've already landed a bunch of good ones. I swear Tom has an ability to read minds. He uploaded a video on back tail kf out the same day I commited to that trick for the first time, so this is the second time this happens. Crazy

[@SoxarPL]

yo, love the final fight in dumb data skate comp, nice clutch with that 540 flip ;)

[@bovedli]

I was once skating MACBA in 2016 and I was practicing my bigspins. Suddenly Tiago Lopes joined my session and he did a bs bigspin late body varial. I just sat down after that.

[@jeremiahdavidtindall9339]

Great video, man. Love the way you deal with your KZbin stuff. Watched the Santa Cruz video the other day about how you came up in skating. Inspiring to see how you balance family responsibilities and how you approach your skating. Always appreciate your consistency.

[@tomasta]

love to hear that man thank you! ❤

[@2003jamesw]

Ur a legend for posting these trick tips

[@zionpanza]

Been struggling with this one, perfect timing

[@MichaelCampbell-ie4bq]

Thank you Tom. This trick has been a slow progressing trick for me but have finally managed to add it to the bag. First advice I've heard on the "flat back foot". I'm going to add that to my mental notes when in-situ of this trick next session...

[@tonywolfwilliams]

Your way of explaining it made so much sense I can now do this on flat thank you ever so much no more getting me out on skate for my mate now

[@skaterdad108]

Incredibly helpful. I've always struggled with this trick. Thanks for taking the time to teach it brother!😍

[@tomasta]

of course hope I can help! thank you!

[@johnconanan3635]

Thanks for the trick tip! Usually may toes are hanging on my back foot. Now I know why it flips. I'll try this later, hopefully it works.

[@nathanskates98]

I just really started working on these and finally having them, so hyped on doing them proper

Good luck! thanks for watching !

Can you do big spins or full cabs to grinds? Like which ever grind is ur most comfortable. That be niiice 🎉

[@costaricaBL]

Ive always sucked at popping bs big spins, saving this to watch after work! 🔥

[@OldManSkateboards]

Always wanted to BS bigspin. I drove out with Mogely to the Dumb Data games of Skate. Super fun to watch in person! 😎

[@antonmyhrvold]

Amazing video! And love this trick :) 🔥❤

[@leonschramm1276]

Best Bigspin Tutorial ever, thanks! ✌🏼

[@triplflip900]

I would love an in depth video like this on 360 flips. I've been struggling to get them back after 8 years off the board. And even back then I always had the hardest time try to take them down gaps.

KEYS TO SWITCH TAILSLIDES BACKSIDE AND FRONTSIDE for next "Keys To" video PLEASE!!! Thanks Tom!!

[@tomasta]

love that idea ❤

[@AlexNiedt]

I definitely second this suggestion. Been needlessly struggling with these

[@TRAVIESO_NA]

@@tomasta can you switch bigspin to tail slide? That be nice

[@jamaljones5647]

I got a knee issue and have been kinda bummed bc my knee limits what tricks I can do. This might be a trick I can do with little pain. Thanks Tom for this!

[@aw4106]

yey new upload after the CFS game of skate.

[@hou5eheadjason]

excellent tip break down , Ive been working on this trick too , would breaking it down like doing a 3 shuv then a body varial work the same way

[@Cashwsk8]

THANK YOU! I have been trying shuv fs boards 4ever but i could never pop my bigspins I was trying them this morning but couldn't get close so i came inside and saw u just posted this, so i watched it and then went to try them again and landed it in under 10 mins! thank you this vid was so helpful

[@tomasta]

yessss love that the video helped you! stoked for you

[@dedicatedskateboarding7167]

Love this trick! Learned it a couple years ago thanks to Zach Doelling (Powell Peralta) and has been a staple in my lines since then.

[@cavf88]

On point I struggled landing 90 and slipping off til I got the weight right. Most of the weight in the front foot until you wind up and scoop and I look at my back foot while I pop the trick with thr weight transfered to tbe back. It’s a weird fun trick

[@labskate24]

Healing through an injury right now but definitely going to have to get these on lock when I'm 100%. Thank you Mr. Asta!

[@tomasta]

yes sir! wish you a fast recovery!

[@chasemarcanio]

I remember wanting to learn back big spins, maybe 8 years ago or so and it was because one of my best friends had them really good I just thought it looked so sick. Learned them and love doing them on flat to this day. Also 30 so haven’t jumped in a while but would be nice to at least take it to a front board, hard to believe I haven’t done it but I was more of a kick flip into front board person. Still loved watching this to see your thought and the ones you were doing to back tail looked sooooo good

[@BobWeaver3000]

Thank you!!! watch out for those banana peels next SKATE game... lol

[@tomasta]

🤣🤣🤣

[@STEEL4122]

I love you Tom! As a fellow Pennsylvanian, hoping to skate with you one day 🙌🏻

Such a great trick; can't wait to try out these tips. Thanks!

[@lvt8studio]

Can't wait to try these tips this weekend :) Thanks Tom!

[@tomasta]

yesss thanks! get it!

[@Shawkno]

I’m 35 And this shit is what we need Been wanting this trick forever!

[@moldyrefrigerator]

I remember when I figured these out! That day I popped & landed over 20 BS Bigspins in a row. Now this, and bigspin front board are a staple for me....I can't imagine doing Bigspin Back Tailslides lol. I'll give it a try tho

[@tomasta]

yup! once it clicks it’s one of the more simple but rad looking tricks! give them a shot to back tail! good luck!

[@tforesst]

Thank you for your videos Tom, they are very helpful👍.

[@tomasta]

Glad you like them!❤

[@anthonyharris1934]

Very Dope! & Steezy G Tom 👊🏽

[@sk8_or_tie-dye908]

Sick video! Really hoping this'll help me get bigspin back tails!! Thanks for the pointers man!!

[@adryancavar7515]

With big spins I do stand on my toes I just have them placed right in the center of the tail and it works fine for me

[@demon_3x]

Thanks Tom, I’m hitting the flat bar tomorrow 👊

[@СтефанУсков-ч2ж]

Siiick! Thanks a lot for your videos Legend

[@Lelouch0193]

Appreciate the tips! tom. I will be trying them tomorrow at tompkins. Ive always had the flip issue on the back big. hopefully flat scoop should help! ill let you know results

[@tomasta]

hell yea wish you luck! thanks for watching !

[@alexei4204]

Thanks for this!! Maybe it's my level but I always find that for tricks where the board rotates it's easier to get the trick in fakie first and of course, on flat ground. Is it just me? Half cabs flips are easier than backside flips, fakie inward heel is easier than normal inward, fakie cabs are easier than backside 360's, fakie frontside flips are easier than normal frontside flips and so on; the board just rotates easier and with less effort. I feel the same way about popped fakie big spins so I've been perfecting those in order to help with my backside big spins and it really helped me learn the flat foot feel, getting the board to not flip, strengthening that muscle group etc.

[@mrmakesmellowdees3662]

Very helpful. I really like your trick tips.. can you do nollie flip crooks? Please

[@nivescasartelli7842]

Thanks Tom ,i never did a big spin fs board slide yet ,bigspin bs tailslide (is my dreamtrick) ,or a good bs bigspin down any gaps ; i need to pratice more on flat ground first

[@TimHesse]

These are my kryptonite dude, thanks for this!

[@420architecMindNDesign]

What a beautiful trick

[@Harley.s92]

I was trying to get these 2 days ago at the skatepark and was getting so close, but a few were flipping. I'll definitely try the flat foot across the tail tip. I almost landed a switch bs bigspin but slid out

[@493PLAYA]

thats so gnarly you sayin kalis is the one who inspired you to bigspin backtail .. back in the day in your color theory part you did a bigspin backtail flip out years later i landed my first bigspin backtail, one day with a bigspin out but still dreaming of that flip out.. that move looked so asthetic and inspired a lot of my own skateboarding

[@Pizzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Thanks !! Could you do a back 360 trick tip ! Thanks !!

[@greggoryz10]

Legit was just trying to learn this trick because I can big spin front nose, but into backtail seems impossible haha. So I recently learned Nollie bigspin backtail in first because regular so hard, but some of these tips help me a lot clarifying the approach and technique. I’m definitely gonna work on them, you helped me learn Nollie crooks by the way lol, always went noseslide and your tips got me over that!

[@tomasta]

get it! glad I could help with the nollie crooks as well! bigspin back tails are hard for sure. but learning on flat first to land in back rail helps. then start carving toward the ledge as you try! hopefully you will get them!

[@SJhomeBoy]

Supportin!

[@normanl.6891]

YES! i asked for this and now i've received it! Appreciate it Tom! Ps you shoulda hit Sewa with the regular backside flip cuz thats his kryponite. 😂

[@tomasta]

ahhh haha I had no idea

[@DazedCutty]

Big spin back tail is a trick I wished I would have learned back when I was younger. I can’t skate like I used to. It’s a beautiful trick. Have you have tre flipped into a back tail? The alley oop aspect makes it really hard.

[@michaellevy6628]

Tom, you're the best teacher I've seen. I learn so much from you. I never knew why my 360 flips were good but couldn't bs bigspin or 360 shuv. I began figuring it out by other tutorials but this one is making it super clear. And by the way I'm curious, which brand of pants you wear?

[@tomasta]

so glad I could help I appreciate you watching the vids! I will have the pants available to you guys soon! i’m working on it! maybe sometime in november 👌 ill probably make a video about it.

[@randybotha4887]

I got back 180's fairly good, and my pop shuvs are at the point where I need to catch them before they over-rotate, but I'm scared to throw a backside bigspin 😅

[@nanuofficial6856]

Can you do a keys to nollie and switch heels and kickflips, please need your help bro! Yours look so good!

[@theanti-come]

Couldn't have been timed out better. For whatever reason, I cannot half cab, back 180, or bigspin properly when I'm cold. But affer 10 minutes of flat, they all start feeling proper. I want all 3 of these on lock because I'm tired of getting letters on tricks I feel I should have.

[@joselovesearth]

I needed this 👌🏾

[@JohnCeballo1011]

Great video Tom🙏 can you do a keys to frontside bigspin vid

[@AntonioSkater123]

Wooo thank you Tom you are da 🐐

[@tannerlewis4404]

I’m sorry if you’ve made a video on this already but I would love to see your warmup routine at the park. I’ve been skating for 4 years and I’m wanting to get harder tricks like bs smith, nollie flip, or switch heel and I always find myself just doing my normal routine in order to keep my normal tricks

[@tomasta]

one of my first videos i’ve posted was called “daily session” pretty much my full session from start to finish. I just didn’t really include stretching or anything like that

[@tomasta]

but I probably should do an updated one along with actual warmup and such… thanks for the idea !
