Turning backside is turning your chest down the transition so that your back faces up the slope. Backside airs are awesome to watch and fun to do, and set the foundation for a whole array of aerial variations.

Step1
Spend some time riding the halfpipe so that you're comfortable doing both frontside and backside curve turns high on the wall of the pipe.
Step2
Add a little extra to your hop at the top of your backside turn to release your weight from the board as you turn. Once you're doing this, you're basically already doing backside airs.
Step3
Approach the wall on your uphill rail, facing downhill.
Step4
Absorb the transition by bending your knees as you ride up it.
Step5
Use the bend in your knees to jump up as you reach the peak of your turn.
Step6
Turn your chest to face down the transition, and turn your board 180 degrees to face back down the transition as well.
Step7
Keep your eyes on the spot where you want to land.
Step8
Land on the transition with your knees bent to absorb the impact.
