Snowboarding Tricks - Alley Oops



In doing the Alley Oop trick, you will need to turn 180 degrees as you go uphill. In this section, learn how to execute an Alley Oop. Take a look at our easy-to-follow steps and make use of our animation as your guide.


STEP 1: In doing this trick, make sure that you have enough air for the turn. Try to have good speed on the halfpipe.

STEP 2: Keep your board flat as you reach the lip of the halfpipe. You can grab the edge of your board for support as you initiate the turn.

STEP 3: Make a 180-degree turn when you are in the air. Turn frontside with your upper body. Move your board towards the direction of the turn.

STEP 4: Release the grab as you approach the lip of the halfpipe. Make sure that you will reach it with your board flat, just like before the turn.

STEP 5: Make a smooth landing and then ride away.


Once you get comfortable doing Alley Oops, you can move on to other Halfpipe Tricks. However, make sure to consider your skill level before trying any trick that is more advanced than an Alley Oop. Fine-tune your movements in and out of the halfpipe.
