this summer when i was in whistler this guy was tellin me about how the snowboarders were sayin that when a skier comes in switch and looks over his left shouler and then spins right, that is switch backside (or vise versa) it makes sense because your back is to the jump at one point making it backside, what do u think?

THE SPRINKLER: get butt naked and then do a 1260 while taking a piss, i expect this trick to win many comps this coming season.

i know what your sayin dude. it has nothin to do with natty/ unnatty. Say you spin left natty and so you look over your right shoulder and trhow a spin to your left. so its not unnatty its just backside/darkside. I heard it called both. I wanna see someone hit a rail backside. holla

ya, switch backside is harder, but isnt getting recognized, 'darkside' i think sounds like a 9 year olds toy, maybe i was thinkin blindside, cuz thats wut people are callin 270 off to regular these days

nat unnat doesnt really look any cooler. It makes the trick harder but thats about it. Its good to be able to spin both ways though. Saying left or right is so much easier because not everyone spins the same way naturally.

My girlfriend told me to shove my skis up my ass

dude you dont fuckin understand. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NATURAL OR UNNATURAL!!! fuck its not that hard to understand. Say I spin left natural. YOu still with me? ok say i ski to the hit looking over my right shoulder. I hit the jump and spin to my left which is natural. That would be backside/blindside.

hey k2skeepimp, why do unnatural? why hit a jump? its harder but doesnt look cooler then just skiing? why do cork 3? cork 7 is easier, why dont we go back to old school cuz iuts easier, its just another aspect of skiing that makes it more challenging, i personally look voer my left shoulder normally and spin right and i find it more difficult so i want it to be recognized. so eat one

first off k2skipimp... Cosco would show your ass up anyday. and this is what some told me back side is(it only works with switch mistys) when you go of the jump turn 180 degreas then spin a misty that is a regular switch misty, but when you go of the jump and basicly do a switch off-axis front flip 540, 7 or 9

Whatever works for you.

Some people could simply prefer looking over one side of their shoulder more.

I doubt it'll get much recognition

Whaaaaaat? That makes no sense, we have already ripped off enough snowboard names
for skiing, why would you rip off another and stick it on a ski trick that is nothing like the
snowboard trick it is. Also what are you talking about that switch backside is the 'big'
thing in snowboarding right now? It’s not any bigger than switch frontside, or even just
backside and frontside. Do you even know what switch backside is in snowboarding?

Snowboarders have Frontside, Backside, Switch Frontside, and Switch Backside

Skiers have Regular, Unnatural, Switch Regular, and Switch Unnatural

Switch backside in snowboarding is just like switch in skiing, only snowboarders spin
frontside and backside, not regular and unnatural. Switch backside has nothing to do with
some stupid head thing looking over whatever ever shoulder or whatever your idea is.
Why would you take a snowboard name that has nothing to do with what your talking
about and put it on some ski trick, thats just retarded. Your not very bright are you.
