Re entry bs bigs - I land on the board every time, feet spread apart and everything. Sometimes underrotated. Every time, however, i slip out. I don't bother with a handle pass, i guess i decided i'll wait to work on that after i've ridden away from a few. Anyone had this problem?

In/Out Shuvs/3shuvs - I'm just not able to rotate them right. It seems like i pop them too high or something and out of control. My i/o ollies are great i just can't seem to figure out how to tone down the pop and maybe take better control of the board.

Fs Bigspins - Haven't really tried them much but i think i will soon. When i do try them i either catch an edge while popping, or slip out.

Any help on these would be appreciated, thanks guys Smile

on the re-entry back bigs, what way are you slipping out? just try shifting your wieght the opposite way at different times during the trick till you figure out ur perfect little niche for it.......i always fell when i didnt pass the handle, try passing it......

On reentry bs bigs also try keeping you head up and looking up at shore when you land....

On fs bigs.... practice cutting out and doing really big fs 1's and then you want to do the same motion but as your sucking up your feet to do the 180 really kick your back foot around and try and push the board almost out in front of you and as it comes around really try and get over your toes. And really try and keep the handle low....

Hope this helps....

yeah, ive yet to get front biggies, but i always have the hardest times keeping over my toes on the landing, and yeah on the back biggies, they are the same as on a skateboard, never dip ur head down like iamjesse said, you will only slip out......

bs bigs - do not dip your head down....look up and make sure you land over your toes...try and get the handle pass it really helped me
i/o shuvs ext. - just try to come off the lip under control...dont cut through the lip...make sure you have enough speed to flatten off and pop off hte lip under control...hope this helps

cenflskate, I have bs bigs on a skateboard pretty dialed, i don't really dip my head down but i haven't really taken that under consideration on the water. Thanks Very Happy

lake weir ocala FL, The other day i was out trying a few and i messed around a lot with different approaches to the lip. I seemed to get closer when i approached it a little slower than on ollies.
