– to check something out before trying it. – you are “regular” if you snowboard with the left foot going downhill first. – short for radical – in this case meaning totally awesome. – a certain part of the board you hold onto when do a certain trick – you are “goofy” if you snowboard with the right foot going downhill first. – something particularly tough but really rather good! – the bottom part in the half-pipe between the two walls. – riding a board backwards down the slope. – the position of the bindings on the board with toes pointing outwards. – to start a steep run, or drop into a half-pipe. – a learner snowboarder who drifts from one side of the slope to another. – to be able to do a trick perfectly again and again without fail. – a run which goes across to another run. – bad news, like the best jump being closed. – when the slopes are icy and/or are covered with hard-pack snow. – a big jump which needs lots of speed to get some air. – straightening one or both legs while doing a half-pipe trick. – falling over or bailing out of a trick. – an aerial trick when you make a 180 degree turn off the jump leading with the heel side of your board (clockwise for a regular stance and counterclockwise for goofy – see regular and goofy for definitions). someone who does a lot of aerial tricks and doesn’t spend much time on the snow!
– you get air when you do a jump and your snowboard comes off the snow – hence the term "big air" - something which happens much, much later!
