There are several tricks you can do on snowboards. These include Backflips, Hardway spins, Butters and Noseslides. Here is a brief introduction to some of our most popular tricks. These tricks require a combination of strength, balance and timing. After mastering the basics, you will be ready for more advanced tricks.
Noseslides
A Noseslide, a snowboard trick that allows the rider to slide down a hill from one side to the other, is called a Noseslide. This is similar to the frontside nollie but with a different approach and weight. It's helpful to practice Noseslide while on the ground. To start the slide, jump up to your front foot and move your board underneath you.
There are two types noseslides: nosebluntslides and boardslides. The first one is the most simple and involves sliding forward, while the second one is more difficult.
Hardway spins
Hardway spins on snowboards can be done with either your heels, or your toes. To perform this trick, it is important to first engage your footside edge. Then, try to turn your body weight to the other side of the board.
Toeside spins require little effort. Toeside spinning is easier than backside. It is easier to perform and turn into spins with the toes than with the heels.
