Big spin

A combination trick pairing a 360-degree shuv-it of the board with a 180-degree body varial in the same direction.

A big spin combines two rotations at once: the board does a 360-degree shuv-it while the rider's body does a 180-degree spin, both turning the same way. The result is a coordinated, full-looking spin that is a marquee skim-style freestyle trick. Backside and frontside variants differ by rotation direction.

Because it stacks board and body rotation together, the big spin is a clear step up from learning the shuv-it and body varial separately.
