HOW TO DO IT

Backside Noseslide — Snow

The board slides sideways while pressure is carried at the nose. This is a snow-supported movement, distinct from sliding a rail. The cited backside version uses an entry redirection and a torso orientation toward travel.

Preparation and setting

Nose Press, a small ollie and controlled sideways sliding on unobstructed gentle snow.

Execution / application sequence

  1. Approach with a predictable glide and room to finish.
  2. Flex and make a small ollie while guiding the board toward the documented backside slide.
  3. Organize the nose-supported position before snow contact rather than throwing the torso over the nose afterwards.
  4. Keep the raised end clear and avoid hooking the toe edge into the sideways path.
  5. Release the supported position with a modest lift and realign the board.
  6. Resume two-foot balance and finish with a controlled stop.

Learning and practice

Learn the sideways glide and nose loading separately. Link a short entry, brief hold and quiet release before increasing distance. A long dragged slide is not the first objective.

Errors and corrections

Toe-edge catch: reduce redirection and check edge inclination before landing. Nose dives: bring the hips back over support rather than reaching farther forward. Abrupt exit: shorten the hold and practise the return separately.

Observable checks

The nose supports the intended slide, the tail clears snow and the rider chooses when to exit. No emergency pivot is needed to recover.

teaching summary — coaching review required

The lesson uses shoulder movement during an ollie to redirect the board, shifts balance towards nose support before snow contact, then releases slightly from the supporting end while returning the upper body towards alignment.

editorial review notes

Avoid unintended toe-edge engagement during the slide. Keep this snow movement distinguishable from a rail noseslide.
