When I first started skiing park I was totally lost as to what a lot of terms meant. Lets face it, we have some wierd names for tricks, features, grabs, and what not. I was just wondering though why not see if we can'y make a list of these terms for anyone coming onto the scene or to learn a few we might not know.
frontside 270. if you slide right foot forward you spin right.
backside 270. if you slide right foot forward you spin left (blind).
k-fed. front switchup continue back 270 out
b-fed/brittany. back switchup continue front 270 out
ellen. front switchup pretzel front 270 out
ray charles. back switchup pretzel back 270 out
ski slide. one foot slides the jib, one foot hugging the side of it (refer to andy parry)
Tranny = small downhill area that is not normally intended to be used as a landing e.g. a boulder covered in snow, a small child laying on the ground, etc.
blender - switch spin where you look over opposite shoulder, eg. looking over left shoulder at take off, but spinning right.
shuffle - sort of an on the ground shifty, landing a trick almost 90 degrees/sideways, and sliding the rotation back to forward or switch (usually the opposite direction/against the initial spin)
lip - getting on a feature by turning your body away from it, if forward, tails pass over the rail/feature, if switch, tips pass over.
backslide - sliding a feature balance on the back foot only
frontslide - opposite of backslide
lazy boy - sitting on tails of skis, hand drag take off
disaster - gap onto a feature, or gapping part of a feature (gappin the first down and flat of a dfd to only slide the second down)
nollie - doing a regular ass jump kind of leaned forward, and then doing a quick backscratcher by pulling your heels to your butt and swearing you nollied......kappa
Nah i guess the weirdest are trannie (a transition landing), afterbang, knuckes, lincolns, butters and pillows. Pretty funny trolling non nsers with crazy discussions like "i love stomping trannies on pillows, buttering that shit, then afterbanging corks screamin semen, before doing a britney or ray charles on a donkey dick. So gnar"
