Snowboarding Tricks - 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.

It is called a manual or mannie.

Yup,Any kind of 'wheelie' nose or tail is actually called a press in snowboarding.In addition to the instructions above you really want to practice hopping (popping a small ollie) into your presses. Just leaning back will always look awful, though it is a good way to learn the balance.

Tail or Nose press... Which is awesome when used to butter down the slopes!

I really dont think that ajust leaning back will always look awful, if you do it correctly. You can easily try and spin the board a little so it''s more like a butter and not so much a tail press and if you pop an ollie after the butter and land switch it could turn into a very impressive trick :D I will try it this weekend :)

That''s a Manual or also called Mannie. When you do this on your Nose ist a Nose Manual or Nose Mannie.

Doing this trick while on a box or rail is called a "press", which looks really cool!

Won''t you break your board if you lift up too high?
