“The Spin”

Front side flips are not as hard as they seem. If you go to YouTube for help you will only learn about the flip. For those of you out there who are like me and the flip is easy to get, here is how to get the spin.
Before you start trying and failing, put your back foot in the pocket of your tail (back of the board) and scoop your foot forward so that your board does a front-pop. Now you just practice that until you can do it perfectly every time. Now the only difficulty left is adding the flip to that. I would tell you how, but in my experience, it is different for everybody. I believe this part is all mental, and very hard to explain in words without a demonstration. This is a front-side flip sequence. It is not a full 180 he actually reverts at the end but same concept really.
