Trick

Frontside Tailbone

A rear-hand toe-edge grab between the bindings with the rear leg extended, front knee bent and tail poked frontside.

HOW TO DO IT

Frontside Tailbone Grab

Rear hand holds toe edge between bindings, rear leg extends and front knee bends, with a frontside tail poke in the source example.

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

Establish the selected contact in comfortable positioning before changing airborne demand.
Establish rear-hand toe contact with flexed knees.
Add a small frontside tail displacement with rear-leg lengthening.
Unwind, release and regain landing alignment..
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

Nosebone reverses the specified leg shape. The source explicitly distinguishes this from Del Mar Indy.

Observable checks

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

Additional teaching summary — coaching review required

The source emphasizes rear-leg extension, a bent front knee, and a frontside tail poke. It must not be replaced by a Nosebone position.

Additional editorial review notes

Do not label this Del Mar Indy; the source explicitly distinguishes the terms.
