Frontside 360
1. Either find or build a nice frontside hit.
2. Once you have found a good jump about 4 feet high. Make sure the runway to your jump is straight.
3. When you start to aproach cork up your. As if you were trying to carck your back.
4. As you are coming of off the lip of the jump. Uncork yourself pull hard.
5. While you are in the keep looking for your landing.
6. When you spot the landing start making the bottom of the board flat. When you hit the landing stay balanced. Do not catch an edge.
540
1. You're friends finally get tired of your complaining about how sore your butt is from sliding down half the hill on it, and threaten to put you out in the cold if you don't shut up.
2. You suddenly realize(maybe the numbing cold from outside your friends house has something to do with it) how easy it would be to pull off a Switch Frontside 540', and want to prove to your friends you're actually worth snowboarding with.
3. Go out to the hill, and look for the perfect jump. Preferably a frontside hit (A hip or roller where your body is facing the hit), and a hit with no one around to laugh at you when you fall.
4. Approach the lip fakie, winding your shoulders up as you get closer. As you ride up the ramp, keep the bottom of your board flat. Just before you reach the lip, lean on your toeside rail slightly. As you pop off the lip, throw your shoulders and body frontside.
5. Pull your arms in and suck your kneww up to your chest to control the spin. The tighter you are, the faster you'll spin. When you're ready to stop spinning, open up and put your arms out. If you plan on throwing in a grab to impress the cute blonde that happened your way, do it know, after about 270'. A grab will also help you gain more control.
6. Now comes the hard part, the landing. once you spot the let your legs down a bit and make the bottom of the board as large as possible(straighten out board do not land on and edge). As you hit the landing let you knees take impact. And ride off with a new trick to your vocabulary!
Method - Take your front arm and grab your heel or toe edge, and bring the board back behind you.
Melancholy- Take your back hand and grab behind your back binding, and bone out your front foot.
Rocket- Like the method air, you take your front arm and grab your heel or toe edge. Keep the board in front of you, and bone out your back leg.
Again, the most important thing to remember is to bring the board up to your hand first, and then make the grab.
INDYS
1.) As you near the jump pick up enough speed and crouch low.
2.) As you near the lip spring with lots of force.
3.) Quickly bend your knees and bring your feet toward your butt.
4.) Grab your board in your favorite position and hang on.
5.) Use your other hand for balance and enjoy the ride.
