HOW TO: PALAU / BACKLOOP SPIN

Check out our detailed video tutorial to land your first palau!

The palau, also known as a backloop spin, is an aerial trick that our team rider Malo Guénolé breaks down for you frame by frame here. In this maneuver, the rider performs a rotation independently of the wing, which is controlled with the back hand.

As technical as this trick might seem, it's actually quite accessible and super fun for any rider who’s already comfortable with jumps and basic tricks.
