Backside Hip Air
HOW TO DO IT
Backside Hip Air: Snowboard Addiction
The basic backside hip air adjusts the board slightly backside after takeoff to match its differently angled landing. Approach geometry and board orientation are separate.
Preparation and setting
Controlled straight airs; an inspected appropriate hip and familiar runout.
Execution / practice sequence
- Approach straight up the selected lip section.
- Depart without prematurely steering away.
- Adjust the board backside in the air to the landing heading.
- Use the lesson's flat-base contact.
- Absorb and establish its toe-edge ride-away.
How to learn / practise
Start with a lower suitable application and no styling. Keep the same basic pathway while refining timing.
Errors and corrections
Excess toe edging can alter the flight line toward an unsuitable flatter area. Rotating more cannot choose a new landing destination after departure.
Observable checks
Contact heading and ride-away match the chosen feature and lesson.

teaching summary — coaching review required
Snowboard Addiction (S3): a straight approach up the lip and alignment with the angled landing after take-off; land flat-based, then ride away on the toe edge. Toe-edge assistance is discussed for early attempts, with a warning that excessive edging can send the rider toward a flatter landing area. Suggested grabs: Method and Melon.

editorial review notes
In these hip lessons 'coping' is the line at the top of the landing used as an approach alignment cue — not necessarily metal coping (HT27-04). The lessons' hips have no knuckle to clear — their feature context; inspect actual geometry. Adjusting board orientation in the air is not evidence a rider can choose a new landing location after take-off.
