Snowboarding Tricks - Nose and Tail Rolls
 |
STEP 1: On a gentle slope, ride straight downhill on moderate speed. Since a Nose and Tail Roll involves doing a Wheelie, you will elevate the tail of the board first before turning 180 degrees. |
 |
STEP 2: Crouch slightly and shift your weight on your front foot. Lift the tail of your board. Once it gets airborne, make a 180-degree turn using the nose of the board as your pivot point. |
|
| |
 |
STEP 3: Take note that the tail of your board is elevated while turning. Maintain your balance until you finish the 180-degree turn. |
 |
STEP 4: After the turn, notice that you have successfully switched your stance. Keep practicing until you become accustomed in doing this trick. |
In doing a Nose or Tail Roll, it is essential to maintain your balance and have perfect timing. Do not elevate your board too much to avoid falling over. Make sure to practice doing this trick until you get comfortable with it.

This trick is by far one of the best ground tricks if you do it correctly it will look superb and it''s not that difficult :) You should try and see how Ryan Knapton does them - it''s almost like he''s flying on the snow ...

Was just doing a basic boardslide on a up down box. It''s set up like a box is on an incline and there''s a snow gap then theres a box facing down.
anyway, i was going pretty fast and i hit it, then slid off the end of the first box and fell from 10ft right on my back. Wind knocked out of me, streched a few muscles in my back and browsed plates. But still riding.

Sprained both my wrist during a backwards boardslide cause I didnt see how long the rail was. I simply put some wrist guards and went back up only to break my pelvis.
