Backside VS Frontside

[.Gerrit]

I spin backside naturally. I think. Because I have to spin the other way to do tre whips.

I think Frontside spins look way better than backside spins in most cases, but that's also because i love dylan kasson's style and he is just so steezy.

I frontside naturally, but I can do both pretty equally. I think they both look good from a clean rider.

FS 360 is so impossible for me, but FS 180 isn't. I guess its cause its easy to 'cheat' with 180s.

i learned 180's BS but did my 360's FS but then i learned BS 360 and FS 180 but i can only BS 360 flat im such a weirdo at spins

 

[robtom123]

fs 180 bars feel nicer for me cos then its kinda downside if you know what i mean when i do it instead of the same way which is what the bs ones are like which is why i like em and they are just as easy both ways

i think that bs and tail whips should be used more frequently then throw in the heel whips and fs spins to show people your universal

 

[Andrew Young]

If you're bars spin the same way that your tailwhips do (full whip), you should spin fs. I think trucks where your bars and body spin the same way look retarded. I think bs spins look a lot better, although a fs spin that doesn't look forced looks good. and finally, I think bs spins are 100000000X easier. you can spot your landing on a big 360, which really helps. its hard to do a fs half cab goin fast

I think the phrase "oppo" is completely viable when in reference to body spins and barspins, considering preference of rotation is independent of stance (goofy/regular). Though calling them "oppo whips" instead of heelwhips is a little annoying, I must admit.

fs forsure. a fs 360 heelwhip is pretty much the steeziest trick ever, but a bs 360 tailwhip is kinda meh.. i spin bs naturally though

i like to say oppo for barspins, bartwists, and fingerwhip because it sounds horrible if you say fingerheelwhip... i dont even know how you would say it lol
