How to Snowboarding : Air to Fakie. The air to fakie is one of the basics of halfpipe riding, but it is also one of the hardest to do really well. They can be done on either wall, but most people start off with learning them on the frontside wall – although you will be flying blindside (back facing in the direction you are moving), it’s easier to control your takeoff. Start off small with an Indy grab, and as your confidence grows, aim bigger and go for the Melon (backside grab with a forward tweak) – the classic air to fakie style.
Snowboarding Trick : Air to fakie Tip If you think you popped off the wall too much and are going to land flat, keep boning out the nose to meet the wall, to help you touch down smoother
- Ride towards the frontside wall with as much speed as you feel happy with.
- Ride up the wall, weight over your toe edge, gradually becoming flat on your base. It’s important to ride up the wall at the same angle as you would a regular frontside air – don’t go too straight up the wall, you’ll kill your speed.
- As you leave the pipe, pop off your tail a little, more if the pipe is under vert.
- Reach behind your front foot and grab backside. When you have the grab, bone out your
front leg into the platform. - While you are in the air, You’re basically travelling blindside – keep looking down between
your legs at the coping to stay on track. - Touch down on your toe edge. As soon as you land, quickly turn your head to set up for the
next wall.
