What the tutorials teach
Because a bigspin impossible fuses two separate trick families with no dedicated tutorials of its own, the available videos teach the two halves independently and the consensus lives in what they share: a bigspin succeeds on a fully committed, powered shove-it scoop paired with shoulders and upper body that turn with the board rather than trailing behind it, while an impossible succeeds on precise toe-side pocket placement, scooping and sweeping the tail instead of popping it, and keeping the board glued to the back foot through the entire wrap instead of letting it launch off into a plain shove-it. Both trick families are described as feel tricks that reward committed rotational power over a tentative attempt, and both are best drilled in isolation first, standing still or off the board, before adding rolling speed.
- Master the two prerequisite tricks separately first, pop shove-it and backside 180 for the bigspin half, kickflip and pressure flip feel for the impossible half
- Set your back foot snug in the toe-side pocket with your toes hanging off the edge, this pocket position is what lets your foot scoop rather than pop the tail
- Scoop, don't pop, the tail: press down while dragging your toes forward or sideways through the tail rather than snapping it like an ollie or kickflip
- Turn your shoulders and upper body fully with the rotation rather than waiting for your feet to catch up, the shoulders lead and the board follows
- Keep the board glued to your back foot through the entire rotation, if it separates and flies off you have accidentally turned the trick into a plain shove-it
- Commit to full rotational power rather than easing in, both bigspins and impossibles are feel tricks that reward a strong, decisive scoop over a tentative one
- Drill the motion standing still or off the board first, a shoulder-only pop shove-it catch or a no-comply scoop, then add rolling speed once the isolated motion is consistent
- Watch your foot placement on the tail edge closely, a foot sitting too far back or too flat on the tail is the single most common cause of a botched rotation in both trick families

- The bigspin impossible builds on Big Spin and Impossible. Get those consistent first, since the bigspin impossible reuses the same pop, balance, or flick.
- Is the Bigspin Impossible hard to learn?
- The bigspin impossible is an advanced trick. It gets much easier once you can already big spin and impossible.
