Trick

Backside Crail

Rear-hand nose grab with a backside-styled tweak in the cited demonstration.

HOW TO DO IT

Backside Crail — Source Example

Rear hand reaches across the front of the body to the nose, with Ted Borland's backside tweak. The contact is distinguished from Nuclear heel-edge contact.

Preparation and setting

Use comfortable stationary positioning or the appropriate supervised training-board context first. For any snow application, an independently controlled take-off, flight and landing must already exist; this card does not prescribe a new jump size or trajectory.

Execution / application sequence

  1. Establish the selected contact in comfortable positioning before changing airborne demand.
  2. Establish the cross-body rear-hand nose hold.
  3. Explore the documented backside styling with a small range.
  4. Recover the board beneath the body and release..
  5. For a technically reviewed snow application, preserve the established take-off, take the hold only after departure, then release and recover board alignment before contact.

Learning and practice

Learn contact, route and modest styling as separate tasks. Rehearse the return as deliberately as the hold. Add a short contact to a familiar controlled air only after the specific version has been technically reviewed; shorten or omit the hold if landing organization becomes rushed.

Errors, limits and corrections

A shared rear-hand route does not make a heel hold Crail. Keep the source's tweak context separate from spin direction.

Observable checks

The intended hand, contact zone and route are distinguishable; styling is modest and recoverable; the hold is deliberately released before landing.
