List of Basic Snowboard Tricks
Rodeo 540
A Backflip and backside 180 combined. The roady is a styley trick. The backflip is performed first, then the back 180 is thrown in at the last second. This trick has now evolved into many add on variations, including the double rodeo 1080.
720° Rotation
A 720 is a steezy trick to do on a smooth kicker. You must make setup turns and wind up your body to either spin frontside or backside. The key is to throw it looking with your head directions and conduct your turn with your shoulders. Keep that head looking under the shoulder and the body, with the board will follow. You will spin around twice, and you have the option to cork the spin by either dropping your back or front shoulder.
Mc Twist
This is a frontflip combined with a 180 in the pipe, this trick has also evolved into many variations now being used by today's pro snowboarders. Achieved by Terje Haakonsen, a Norwegian Viking.
StaleFish
This trick is overplayed except when poked out in backside or frontside 360's!!!!
Melon Grab
If your using this grab you better not be throwing anything less than cork 7's!!! Be a Viking..
Method Grab
This trick is a classic, so don't screw it up by doing it wrong, or you may have to knuckle it up.. You gotta grap between the bindings and tweak the board out in front of you!! Not just behind you!! This tweak seperates gapers from pros. So make sure you work on the style of this trick. Throw it like an old schooler!!
Buttering
Basically butters are nose press or tail press, You do them on boxes or hand rails, also called blunt slide. You can 180 on or off, these are very difficult tricks on hand rails
Flying Squirrel
Ready for a long trip into the air, floating like a squirrel? Then this trick is for you but watch out, you need to get high to get high! haha this trick is for homo's instead try a straight leg three... SUPER STEEZE.. Do a frontside 360 but try to keep your legs straight the whole way through, and you may look just like Danny Kass.
