ABOUT snowboarding
-------------------------------
Snowboard trick nomenclature
Snowboard tricks are named in the same manner that earlier board sports (skateboarding, surfing) named their maneuvers.
Frontside and backside
The identifiers frontside and backside describe how a trick is performed. These identifiers are very important technical terms and are commonly misunderstood because of their different uses for jumps and rails.
For aerial maneuvers, frontside and backside identify the direction of rotation of a spin. For instance a regular rider doing a frontside spin off a jump would rotate his body counterclockwise opening his shoulders up so that his "front side" is the first side of his body going forward off the jump in the first 90 degrees of his spin. A regular rider doing a backside spin off a jump would rotate his body clockwise closing his shoulders so that his "back side" is the first side of his body going forward off the jump in the first 90 degrees of his spin.
For tricks performed on obstacles such as rails, frontside and backside refer to the direction from which the snowboarder approaches the obstacle. A regular rider approaching a rail from the left side of the rail would be considered frontside because the "front side" of his body is facing the rail. A regular rider approaching a rail from the right side of the rail would be considered backside because the "back side" of his body is facing the rail. A regular rider doing a frontside spin onto a rail would rotate his body clockwise and then land on the rail. A regular rider doing a backside spin onto a rail would rotate his body counterclockwise and then land on the rail.
Switch-stance and fakie
The terms switch-stance (switch) and fakie are often used interchangeably in snowboarding, though there is a distinct difference. The switch identifier refers to any trick that a snowboarder performs while traveling backwards, or the reverse of his/her natural stance. A snowboarder can also be said to be riding switch while traveling opposite from his/her natural stance, when no trick is being performed. At this time, the leading tip of his board is referred to as the nose.

Alternatively, the identifier fakie has its origin in skateboarding, a discipline where the feet are not attached to the board, but where the skateboarder's natural stance includes positioning the trailing foot on the kicked tail of the skateboard. On a skateboard, fakie refers to an instance where the skateboarder is traveling backwards, but his/her feet remain in the same position on the skateboard as their natural stance.
Snowboarders will distinguish between fakie and switch, even though their feet never change position on the snowboard. The term switch is far more common when describing snowboard tricks, and a switch trick is any trick that is initiated switch-stance. Landing switch means that the snowboarder has landed while traveling backwards.
The term fakie will sometimes refer to landing a trick or maneuver performed on a skateboard. An air-to-fakie for instance, would be a straight air on a vertical feature with no rotation, and re-entering the same transition. The rider would land fakie and would therefore be riding switch. Another common way that the term fakie is used is when the identifier switch creates a redundant description. For example, much like skateboarding's conventions, a snowboarder would say fakie ollie, rather than switch nollie.
Straight airs
Ollie
A trick in which the snowboarder springs off the tail of the board and into the air.
Nollie
A trick in which the snowboarder springs off the nose of the board and into the air.
Switch ollie
While riding switch, the snowboarder performs an ollie.
Fakie ollie (Switch Nollie)
While riding switch, the snowboarder springs off of his/her 'new nose' and into the air. This resembles a nollie, however the snowboarder is riding in switch.
Shifty
An aerial trick in which a snowboarder twists his body in order to shift or rotate his board about 90° from its normal position beneath him, and then returns the board to its original position before landing. This trick can be performed frontside or backside, and also in variation with other tricks and spins.
Air-to-fakie
Airing straight out of a vertical transition (halfpipe, quarterpipe) and then re-entering fakie, without rotation.
Poptart
Airing from fakie to forward on a quarterpipe or halfpipe without rotation.
Grabs
An overview of a number of common grabs
One-Two
A trick in which the rider's front hand grabs the heel edge behind his back foot.
A B
A trick in which the rider's rear hand grabs the heel side of the board front for the front bindings.
Beef Carpaccio
A Roast Beef and Chicken Salad (in between the legs) at the same time with hands crossed.
Beef Curtains
A Roast Beef and Chicken Salad (in between the legs) at the same time. Also known as The King or Steak Tar Tar
Bloody Dracula
A trick in which the rider grabs the tail of the board with both hands. The rear hand grabs the board as it would do it during a regular tail-grab but the front hand blindly reaches for the board behind the riders back.
Cannonball/UFO
A trick in which the nose and tail of the board are grabbed simultaneously.
Chicken salad
A trick in which the leading hand passes through the legs from the front and grabs the heel edge between the feet.
China air (West Coast) /Korean air (East Coast)
An easier version of the Japan Air; the front hand grabs the toe side in front of the front foot. Both knees are then bent.
Crail
A trick in which the rear hand grabs the nose of the board. Alternatively, some consider any rear handed grab in front of the front foot on the toeside edge a crail grab, classifying a grab to the nose a "nose crail" or "real crail".
Cross-rocket
Advanced variation of a Rocket Air, where the arms are crossed in order to grab opposite sides of the nose of the board, while the rear leg is boned straight and the front leg is tucked up.
Drunk Driver
Similar to a Truck driver, it is a stalefish grab and mute grab performed at the same time.
Frontside grab/indy
A fundamental trick performed by grabbing the toe edge between the bindings with the trailing hand. This trick is referred to as a frontside grab on a straight air, or while performing a frontside spin. When performing a backside aerial or backside rotation, this grab is referred to as an Indy. The frontside air was popularized by skateboarder Tony Alva.
Gorilla
Both hands grab toeside between the bindings.
Japan air
The front hand grabs the toe edge just between/on the front foot. However, the arm must go around the outside of your front knee. The board is then pulled behind the rider (tweaked). Note: Advanced riders performing this trick will usually turn and move facing fully forward, or put the nose of the board close to the upper arm or shoulder.
Lien air
When performing a frontside air on transition, the snowboarder grabs heelside in front or behind the leading binding with his/her leading hand. In order for it to be a Lien air, the board can not be tweaked and has to be kept flat. The origin of the name of the trick is the reverse spelling of skateboarder Neil Blender's first name.
