i read the other FSbigspin help topic but it didnt answer my question. i am cutting out on my heelside while switch is it harder to land them on that side? alsois it easier to try them switch first then go to my normal stance?

i came close on one of the three i tried today...the board was underme i jsut sorta got freked out and bailed...considering it was my first attemp at it ever...

Just make sure your feet are placed on the deck as your ridin' your natural stance, not faki.... I don't like them!!! kickin' the switch bigs with your back foot, so it wont look like a gayfakie bigs!!!!

Not to be an ashole, but it would pop a lot highier if you don't place your feet like fakie!

i can do bigs on a skateboard fine... my question is, do you pop the front of the board like skating or is the technique different on a wakeskate?

its basically the same... i use the same technique for my fakie bigs on my skateboard and my switch ones on my wakeskate....
