Snowboard Air to Fakie

Snowboard Air to Fakie

Step 1: Find a gentle slope with as little human traffic as possible. Start riding straight downhill on moderate speed.

snowboard-air-2Step 2: To initiate the turn, twist your hips and shoulders towards the direction of the spin. Crouch down and remember to shift your weight on your back foot.

snowboard-air-3Step 3: Lift your board - nose first and then the tail. Try to maintain your balance while doing this.

snowboard-air-4Step 4: Jump and turn 180 degrees.

snowboard-air-5Step 5: After the turn, land both feet at the same time. This is to divide the impact and lessen the chance of slipping when you land.

snowboard-air-6Step 6: Ride fakie after the turn. Repeat the steps and keep on practicing until you get comfortable in turning in midair and riding backwards.

Air to Fakie is one of the Snowboarding Tricks that you must know should you wish to try other aerial stunts. This is a good exercise to fine-tune your movements and make yourself comfortable in doing spins on the air. With enough practice and determination to learn, you will eventually manage to perform other advanced tricks.
