Straight Airs

Ollie

Nollie

Switch ollie

While riding switch, the snowboarder performs an ollie.

Fakie ollie

While riding backward, the snowboarder springs off of his/her 'new nose', and into the air. This resembles a nollie, however the snowboarder is riding in the snowboarder's reverse-stance.

Shifty

An aerial trick in which a snowboarder twists his body in order to shift or rotate his board about 90° from its normal position beneath him, and then returns the board to its original position before landing. This trick can be performed frontside or backside, and also in variation with other tricks and spins.

Air-to-fakie

Airing straight out of a vertical transition (halfpipe, quarterpipe) and then re-entering fakie, without rotation.

Poptart

Airing from fakie to forward on a quarterpipe or halfpipe without rotation.

Flail

The movements of an out-of-control snowboarder who is waving his/her hands wildly while in the air. Also called humping sheep or rolling down the windows.
