since when has there been frontside/backside in skiing

your right it doesnt make sense with skiing but i love saying it. 'you see i threw that swtich backside 3 over that table' sounds so good. I think frontside should = normal and backside = blindside

no, all of my friend snowblade 2, skiing is gay, y do u need poles? snowblades r sick. - linesnowblades

 
I have no idea. Do you mean frontslide and backsllide? because there's a difference there.

but in skiing, both sides are the exact same thing. It only matters in snowboarding.

Maybe by copying the names of their tricks all the snowboarders won't know we're faggots.

^ya, natural is backside, and unnatty is frontside. it doesnt matter as much in skiing because both sides are equally blind, its really only feel.

^^ it took me long chats with my snowboarder friends to distinguish. you see, for snow boarders, when the first 90 degrees they rotate they are facing towards the lip, is frontside, and thus harder. vice versa for backside. so i figured out that since unnatty is harder, and more akward, that it is frontside.

^not yet still gotta settle this. it only works on rails i guess cause it cant mean natural or unnatural because if you were sliding a rail unnatural and did an unnatural 270 off, it would still be frontside and it would look the same as someone who slides a rail natural and does a natty 270 off. frontside = regular backside = blindside

frontside 270 on a rail is you spinning so that when you throw the 270 the first 90 you would lnad straight, backside is you would land switch

You know you have the coolest cab driver when he says, 'And we're off like a prom dress.'
 
For airs when taking off forwards or backwards it's Leftside or Rightside spinning. When on rails (either left foot forward or right foot forward - not applicable for 50-50s) we can use frontside or backside because it actually means something (blindside becomes backside).

That's my take on things and I think it makes sense.

it's all very exciting.
 
it works with switchups and spins off of rails. end of story.

I think it only works when hitting a rail from the side, because thats the only time someting becomes a blindside spin or frontside spin.

But if you hit the rail straight on there so blind anything.

i think its been around for about 5 months now

^ you mean copy surfers who were in turn copied by skateboaders that were copied by rollerbladers and finally then copied by Snowboarders?

I think we shouldnt beat up our selves to describe something with a name thats used in snowboarding,but is it works for us then we should use it, because its universal and that way someone from another sport can identify with what you are saying.

.
 
i think we should adopt snowboardings pretzel as well. so much better than frontside 270

yeah noone says it seriously when talking about air. but backside switchup = switchup where your be spinning backside as you would on a snowboard. also bs/fs 270 off rails.

blindside switchup is the whack shit. you arent blind at all when you do it. you see the rail the whollllle time

to progress, rules must be broken.
 
^ hence the backside. i dont know ive heard backside use alot..because theres fs swtitchup..which is frontside..makes sense that it should be backside

but the part of the rail you see is NOT behind you. backside it is

there is backside on rails...its when lets say you hit a c that curves to tthe right. if you do it rightfoot forward its frontside and if you do it left its backside. on rails if you 270 out to your left with right foot forward then its blindside not backside

it could be called backside when some people take off switch, looking over their right shoulder, but spin to the left. like candide

okay it doesnt need too be that hard....

on a rail, blindside or bs... switch up toward the rail. frontside or fs switch up facing the front or the rest of the rail...

on jumps, there is switch or cab for bacwards. and left side or right side. you should be able to spin both ways so NO unatural or natural because everybody is different, some people spin to the right naturally. so it would be switch cork rightside 5. or cab leftside seven....

Frontside/backside onto a rail works if the jump isn't directly in front. IE: proper urban set ups, or good park rails.

Also works with switchups, and spins out of rails.

Also works with hips.

It's the batontwirlertwistshakebakecakeholehumperdinkkink rail.
 
I just think of switch as riding backwards, fakie as landing backwards, natural as my easier way to spin, and unnatural as my harder way to spin. As far as 270's out, it's either uphill or downhill, none of this backside or frontside crap that is already confusing enough in snowboarding.

I dont know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
 
Frontside and Backside are only used when you talk about switch-ups.
