ps. i get the 360 shuv/pop-shuv easy so thats not an issue

Answer 1

A bigspin is a popshuvit and an 180 combined. For it to be considered a bigspin u hav to turn with the board. You can either do a 360 shuvit with a body varial turning with the board or do a pop shuvit late 180.Since you hav 360 shuvits down i suggest doing a 360 shuvit and starting to  rotate your body after the 1st rotation and then let it finish the rotation and catch it. Practice them fakie first its easier and test out both fs and bs. I put my front foot slightly pointed by the front bolts and my back foot hanging a little off one side of the tail. Eventually with practice you'll hav all the bigspins down.

Answer 2

when you shuv it spin the same way your spinning the board. but make sure you spin it a bit more than normal. im really close to landing a big spin. but i can land fakie big spins so much easier. maybe try it fakie. just make sure you spin the same way your board does.
