In Tom Asta’s latest How-To video, he shares his insights and thoughts on perfecting the backside bigspin before going over some of his own personal variations of the trick. This move is a must-have in any skateboarders bag of tricks! Let’s get it:
Personally, I like that Tom has taken the YouTube personality route these days. It’s tough, man. Not just anyone can do it. And it takes a lot of time to build not only a proper following, but the confidence to put yourself out there like this. But once you’ve put in the work long enough, the positivity from your audience pours in. Hey, it’s a new world—if you can’t beat ‚em, join ‚em!

Videos like this are actually really beneficial for so many reasons, too. Spend a few moments in the comments and you can see how genuinely appreciative folks (of all ages) are for pros like Tom to share their insights and techniques on certain tricks.
„I love how we can get personally taught by a pro and get their tips and insight into tricks. Coming from skating in the late 90’s I still feel blessed guys like Tom take their time to help others learn for free, it’s an awesome time to be a skateboarder,“ said one commenter.
Another mentioned, „Ayyy I’m 38 years old and because of your video I just landed on some of my first backside big spins (didn’t ride away tho) Thanks for the keys g! I’m riding away next session for sure.“
The list goes on, but I just thought that was rad.

There’s no denying Tom did an incredible job breaking it all down. Plus, if you already have bigspins on lock, it was a total bonus learning how bigspin front board, bigspin back tail and everything else. Good stuff.
Thanks for the lesson, Tom. Keep ‚em coming!
