How to

Step by step
  1. Approach at an angle to the rail, riding straight in slightly on your toe edge.

    In a frontside boardslide your back faces your direction of travel once you're on it, so you watch the path ahead over your shoulder. Come in slow, just fast enough not to stall.

  2. Ollie just before the rail.

    Pop the tail lightly with your back foot and lift both feet to clear the height of the rail.

  3. While airborne, turn the board about 90 degrees across the rail.

    Lead with your upper body — start turning your shoulders and chest toward your back first, and your lower body and board will follow naturally to 90 degrees. Guide the board with where your shoulders and chest face, rather than swinging your arms.

  4. Land with the rail contacting the center of the board, between both bindings.

    Keep your weight even (front foot 50, back foot 50) and press through the middle of each foot, between the ball and the heel. Get this off and you'll slide off forward or backward.

  5. Bend your knees lightly, drop your hips, and stack your weight directly over the rail.

    Lock your eyes on the end of the rail (the exit) over your shoulder. Looking at your hands or toes pulls your weight forward and drops you.

  6. As the exit nears, start turning your chest back toward your direction of travel.

    When your upper body squares up first, the board follows and turns back the 90 degrees, so you leave the snow with the nose pointing forward. Land with weight even and knees softly bent to absorb the impact.

Tips & common mistakes

Tips

Because your back faces your direction of travel, the exit is hard to see in a frontside slide. Keeping your eyes on the exit over your shoulder stops your weight from hanging back and keeps you stable.

COMMON MISTAKE

The board doesn't reach a full 90 degrees as you land on it → you're trying to swing with your arms and your upper body locks up → as you ollie, start turning your shoulders and chest toward your back first and let the board follow.
