Trick

Backside Wallride — Transition-fed

A wall slide fed from a curved transition, with flat-base wall contact and a backside half-turn return to the snow transition.

HOW TO DO IT

Backside Wallride — Transition-fed Version

A curved transition feeds flat-base wall contact and a backside half-turn return to snow. Body alignment follows the changing surface.

Preparation and setting

Controlled transition riding and backside pipe-air preparation suggested by the source; suitable wall geometry and on-site instruction.

Execution / application sequence

  1. Inspect the transition, wall and return lane.
  2. Follow the chosen ascent without a sharp carve into the wall.
  3. Stay centred relative to changing support.
  4. Receive wall contact flat-based with flex.
  5. Guide backside return toward the intended snow landing.
  6. Reconnect aligned to the transition and absorb compression..

Learning and practice

Practise transition alignment before wall contact. Extend height only through coached control; source unlimited-speed encouragement is not adopted.

Errors, limits and corrections

Leaning away loses support. Edging the wall disrupts base contact. Wrong return line requires a simpler ascent and reset.

Observable checks

Wall contact and return are deliberate. This does not prescribe a street wall without transition.

teaching summary — coaching review required

S4: flat-base wall contact with the body aligned to the changing support surface; preparation is related to backside pipe airs. At the wall the board turns backside through a half-turn with attention toward the return landing; reconnect to the snow transition and absorb compression. The source's open-ended speed encouragement and reassurance about falls are not imported.

editorial review notes

Separate from rail slides and handplants; not extrapolated to a street wall without transition.
