Snowboard Lesson : Backflips

The backflip is the ultimate ‘crowd pleaser’ trick. Very impressive to look at, and really not that hard – it just takes plenty of balls to try it. Difficulty-wise, it’s about the same as a 360, yet even some pros admit they can’t (or won’t) do them. The main reason for learning backflips is that they are really fun to do on small, steep jumps.

Tip:
The whippier the jump, the better. A steep takeoff makes the rotation easier, and grabbing will tuck your body up and help you keep the rotation fast. A soft powder landing is definitely where you try this trick for the first time.

• Ride towards your kicker/windlip/pile of snow.
• Commitment is the key: start throwing yourself backwards as your front foot leaves the lip.
• Pop hard off the tail, leaning backwards as you take off, and throw your head back to initiate the flip.
• Pull your knees up into your body, and grab – Indy or Melon are easiest.
• Keep looking upwards, staying tucked until you can see the ground.
• Now you should be able to work out how much air time you’ve got to complete the rotation. Let go of the grab, open up your body to complete the rotation, and land.

Backside 180’s : Snowboard Lesson

Backside 180’s - Straight Jump
with San i Ali babic
It might be a basic trick, but the backside 180 is one of the absolute classic moves, and a favourite of pretty much every pro rider. Why? Because it is one long, slow, blindside rotation that feels amazing, and, when done properly, looks amazing too.
The key to this move is letting your body feel the rotation, and staying smooth off the takeoff.

• A pproach the kicker slightly faster than you would a straight air.


• Keep your shoulders parallel to the board, and ride straight up the kicker, flat on the base with just a little pressure on the toe edge to keep you stable.


• As you take off, slowly turn your head and shoulders backside, and do a small ollie.


• Once you have taken off, you should be turning slowly, leaning slightly forwards, and looking down at the ground. Bring your legs up into your body and grab Indy.


• If your balance feels right, at 90° push your front leg out in front of you for the tweak.


• Keep looking down and between your legs for the landing.


• Release the grab as late as you can, and get ready for touchdown.


• Land, turn your head to face down the hill, and ride away switch.

Tip:
This is a ‘feeling’ trick, so practice it lots on small bumps before taking it to the big jumps.
