How to Air to Fakie on a Snowboard

Turn 180 degrees in the air and land riding backward on your snowboard. This is a great first spin maneuver for an intermediate rider just getting a taste for aerial stunts.



Step1
Learn to ride fakie so that you're comfortable with it.


Step2
Approach a jump riding on your uphill rail with good speed.


Step3
Crouch down and wind up your torso just a little to help you spin. Keep your head facing forward at all times.


Step4
Hit the jump and leap up and unwind as you leave the lip.


Step5
Pull your legs up in the air and spin 180 degrees.


Step6
Land both feet at the same time, riding backward.
