Snowboarding Basics: Kicker - Bs 540s with Ben Kilner

After you’ve mastered backside 360, the next step is to tag another 180 onto the end of the trick to turn it into a backside 540. It may seem a step too far – and yes, turning your back to the landing again when you’ve already completed a full rotation is a bit scary at first - but break it down into bite-sized chunks and it’s easier than you’d think.

The frontside 180 melonchollie (or ‘melon’ to give it its shorter title) is a beautiful, classic trick. The grab is perfectly suited to fronstide 180s because it enables the rider to style the spin. The more you can bone this trick out, the more style points you’ll collect from your mates.

The frontside 360 is a fairly advanced trick off a kicker, owing to the fact that the second half of the spin is blind (i.e. you’re turning away from the landing as you descend) so you will have to trust in your abilities to land with the board pointing forwards. Add in the indy grab and it gets complicated. But… do them right and you’ve got a bona fide snowboarding classic in your trick bag.

Snowboarding Basics: Kicker - Bs 360s with Ben Kilner

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 09:10:53 +0100

The backside 360 is one of the easiest and safest spins to learn, and once nailed can be taken to just about any size of jump. Unlike 180s (where frontside is generally considered easier), when it comes to 360s you’re better to try the backside version first, because when you come around to the end of the trick you can see the landing clearly. The key is to commit to the manoeuvre 100%, and to initiate all the spin prior to leaving the ground. As with all spins, the grab adds style points; mute is probably the simplest option, but since we just demonstrated that with the BS 180 we’re going to spice things up with a tail grab. Here’s how...
