A gazelle is 540 board spin with a 360 body follow, the nollie backside gazelle is the most common gazelle variation, it's a 540 varial with a 360 body follow, but most of the time it's done with a pivot to finish the spin. Before trying the nollie backside gazelle I recommend to learn the nollie backside bigspin and the helipop because to do a nollie bs gazelle you will have to do a kind of mix between those two tricks.

Feet placement:
-put your feet as you would for the nollie bs bigspin, use the toes of your back foot to grip the edge of the board.
How to do the trick:
1/ prepare to spin fast by winding your shoulders and arms.
2/ do like a nollie bs bigspin with no pop but try to get more rotation, you have to land on the back truck like you would for a helipop, anyway try to do a 360 with your body.
3/ land on the back truck and finish the spin with a pivot.
Tips:
-this trick is all about commitment, you have to commit in the spin.
-some hard wheels and a good surface may help a lot.
Variations:
-you can add a front or back foot underflip or a kiwi flip to transform your gazelle in something sick like a gazelle underflip, a gazelle nerdflip or a siyoun spin.
