Advanced Tricks

Now if you really want to be challenged you could try doing double flips, combinations, and lots of harder spins. To do double flips of any kind you should be able to do them on a trampoline before you even attempt them on a snowboard. After you can do them on a trampoline you should be able to do it on a snowboard. To do a 720 you should warm up a little by landing some 360's and 540's. Once you are ready you approach the top with more speed than you would use for a 540 and prepare to take off. Then you turn backwards hard with your shoulders and hips as soon as you feel the board leaving the lip. Do a 360 spin and start another twist to do another 360 spin. Complete the second spin and find your landing spot on the ground as close to the lip as possible. The more spins you do the more air you will have to get and the faster you will need to spin. An example of a combination of a flip is a McTwist which is doing a front flip 540 with a mute grab. Before you do it you should warm up by doing 540's and doing front flips with doing a mute grab. To do a McTwist you drop into the half pipe then crouch down low on your board at the bottom of the half pipe and pick the spot you launch off of on the approaching lip. Do not take your eyes off the spot you will use. Extend your legs slowly so you gain momentum then lower your head and front shoulder as soon as your front foot clears the lip. Jump off and do a front flip and crouch with a mute grab. Right after starting the front flip start to do the 540. Look for your landing and stick the landing. There are harder tricks but these tricks take lots of skill and practice.
