Snowboard tricktips

Some expressions and tips!

For the beginning: some grabs, you should know ...

INDIE
With your back hand you grab the frontside edge of the
board (the edge on the toeside of the board) between
the bindings.

MUTE
With your front hand you grab the frontside edge
(the edge on the toeside of the board) between
the bindings.

MELON
With your front hand you grab the backside edge
(the edge on the heelside of the board) between
the bindings.

STALEFISH
With your back hand you grab the backside edge
of the board (the edge on the heelside of the board)
between the bindings.

TAILGRAB
With the back hand you grab the tail (back end)
of your board.

NOSEGRAB
With your front hand you grab the nose (front end)
of the board.

METHOD
You grab the method exactly like the melon,
the only difference is, you pull up the board
in this trick and stretch out your back leg.

And now some jumps, with which you can demonstrate your skills ...

180° (one-eighty oder auch Einser)
Its a jump where you turn your body 180°. If your
nose is on front before performing the jump, the tail
will be on front after the jump.

360° (three-sixty oder auch Dreier)
This is a jump, where you turn a full rotation around
your longitudial body-axis. The difficulty here is,
that you loose the landing out of your sight for
a short glimpse. You have to look in the rotation
direction during the whole jump, otherwise you
will stop rotating.

FLIP
A flip is a turn around your lateral body axis.
For example a backflip to the back, a frontflip
to the front or a rodeo (a backflip in combination
with a 180°)
