A Wheelie is riding with one tip of your board in the air. This trick is a matter of maintaining your balance while riding just one end of your board. Building up the power and technique to lift either your Snowboard's nose or tail will prepare you for more advanced tricks. In this section, learn how to perform Wheelies:
STEP 1: Wheelies with your board's nose up in the air are very easy to do. When starting out, find a gentle slope with as little human traffic as possible.
STEP 2: Ride straight downhill on moderate speed. To initiate the trick, crouch slightly and lean backwards.
STEP 3: Shift your weight on your back foot and lift your front foot. Try to hold on to that position for a few seconds. Maintain your balance while the nose of the board is airborne.
STEP 4: Go back to your first position and put your front foot down. Repeat these steps until you become comfortable riding just the tail of your board.
You may fall backward on the first few times that you try doing a Wheelie. It takes time and practice. You can also try performing Nose Wheelie in which you will be riding the nose of the board. Once you've mastered Wheelies, you can progress to other Snowboarding moves.
