Backside Nose Slide.

1. On a gentle slope, point straight down the fall line and start a little faster than walking pace.

   Too much speed and you can't stop if the nose catches.

2. Bend your front knee and shift your weight forward, loading about 70 percent onto the nose.

   Keep your hips stacked over your front foot instead of dropping your butt back. This lightens the tail so the board can pivot around the nose.

3. Keeping that nose pressure, lead with your rear shoulder and send it toward the toe side.

   Turn your upper body first so your chest faces downhill (straight ahead), and move your eyes downhill too. Your body follows your gaze.

4. Once your upper body has set the direction, let your hips chase the same toe-side direction.

   With your weight still stacked over the front foot, the lightened tail slides out and the board starts to pivot on the nose. Once the board comes around sideways, twist your rear shoulder back the other way. If your upper body keeps turning the same way, you'll just spin all the way around, so use that opposite twist to stop the rotation and hold the pose.

5. Lean lightly onto your heel edge (the uphill edge), sliding the board nearly flat.

   Riding the toe edge (the downhill edge) catches the nose and pitches you forward, while leaning too hard on the heel edge brakes you too much. About 45 degrees of rotation is plenty.

6. To recover, unwind the upper body you twisted back.

   As it returns, your hips and board straighten out with it, then bring your weight back to center last. If your weight stays only on the front foot you'll stall, so re-balance evenly on both feet to return to a straight run.
