Snowboarding Basics: Fs Tailslide 270 off with Jamie Nicholls

The Tailslide Frontside 270 off is difficult enough to say, never mind perform, but if you’re getting serious about your jibbing then combos like these are where it’s at. This trick also introduces us to a new concept: stalling a spin. The key to this is remembering that all the energy for the dismount spin is initiated on the snow before you get on to the rail. You’ll also need to be able to boardslide down a rail, and ideally know how to throw a frontside 360 off a small kicker. If you reckon you’ve got the skills to pay the bills, this is how to post your invoice.
