Backloop Spin Frontside 360

Lukas Lam in Fuerteventura

In this backloop spin frontside 360, you can clearly see the grip change.

Lukas starts with his back hand in an underhand grip. As he rotates his body, his front hand is brought around behind his back arm and then grips the boom from the front in an underhand grip. His back hand then switches from an underhand to an overhand grip. This completes the grip change for the backloop spin.

As he descends, Lukas then initiates a frontside 360. Footage from the 2025 GWA event on Fuerteventura.
