Snowboarders have many tricks. These include Backflips, Hardway spins, Butters and Noseslides. Here are some examples of some of these most commonly used tricks. These tricks require strength, balance, timing and a combination of both. After mastering the basics, you will be ready for more advanced tricks.
Noseslides
A Noseslide, a snowboard trick that allows the rider to slide down a hill from one side to the other, is called a Noseslide. Although similar to a Frontside Nollie it has a weight and approach that is slightly different. Practice a Noseslide on the floor is a good idea. Jump to your front foot, and then slide your board underneath.
There are two types: boardslides or nosebluntslides. The easiest involves moving forward. The second is more complicated.
Hardway spins
Hardway spins with snowboards are a popular technique that you can do either on your heels or on your toes. When you're performing this trick, you should try to engage your toeside edge first. Then, try to turn your body weight to the other side of the board.
Toeside turns are easy to perform. Toeside spins are much easier than backside spins. Spins off the toes are easier to execute and turn into than those on the heels.

How does the sport of parasailing differ from parachuting?
Para-gliding is a form of flying above ground using a harness and a small sail. The harness allows you to fly. It will keep you safe when you are falling through the sky.
You don't need any equipment to fly. All you have to do is attach your self to the sail. You then take off. The wind pulls the sail against you as you climb in altitude. This allows it to lift you.
As you glide along the ground, you keep moving forward. You continue to move forward with your momentum until you reach the end. You let go of the cable and you return to earth.
Once you are ready to go again, attach the sail to your body.
Parasailing continues to grow at a rapid pace. More than 1 million people participated in parasailing in 2013. It's nearly twice as many people did it in 2013 than in 2008.
