Noseslides
A Noseslide allows riders to slide down hills in frontside directions. While it looks similar to a nollie frontside, the weight and approach of this trick is quite different.

There are two types. The boardslides and the nosebluntslides. The first involves simply sliding forward. The second requires more effort.
Hardway spins
Hardway spins are a very common technique for snowboarding. You can perform them with your heels or with your toes. When you're performing this trick, you should try to engage your toeside edge first. Next, you should try to shift your body weight to one side of this board.
