For Grinds and Slides a good site to use is
http://toxboe.net/trickguide
It is an inline site, but shows the proper foot placement for grinds.

Please give the animated GIF Files time to load, it will be worth it!

This is for Frontside and Backside Grinds

All Frontside and Backside Grinds and Slides can be done while going backwards or fakie (which is called SWITCH) and spins can be added before the grind
-270 on (3/4 spin onto a rail)
-450 on (1 1/4 spin onto a rail)
-630 on (1 3/4 spin onto a rail)

-You can also butter(spin on the snow) into the spin to hit the rail.

When exiting the rail you can exit forwards(regular), backwards (fakie), or spin off either
-naturally = you exit the rail in the same way as you jumped onto it
-unnaturally = you exit the rail with the opposite spin as you entered it

Once Again Spin Offs are either
- 270 off
- 450 off
- 630 off

It is called a Disaster when you land on the rail after gapping off or over something.

Frontside (Dakota)

Backside (Ty)

Fastslide
- either Frontside Fastslide
- Backside Fastslide
Fastslides are somewhat hard. It's a grind with only the front foot. The keys for this trick is speed and balance. (Mark)

Backslide
- Frontside Backslide
- Backside Backslide
The backslide is like a frontside, except that you lift your front foot, and only grind on the back foot. (Shnook)

Tabernacle
A grind in which the trailing foot is on like a frontside but the lead foot is acid. (JoeyAncz)

Unity
When doing the unity, your back leg's foot is put in front of the other, so that the leg's foot is grinding in front of the other.

Savannah
The Savannah is like a unity, exept that you cross the front leg over the back leg – opposite of the unity. This might seem very unatural to you, and also hard. (Hardcore)

Soul Grinds/Slides
DISCLAiMER-While we technically don't use soul plates anymore, we use the names of the grinds as if we did. (Soul plates were an experiment that never quite worked out)

Here is some of the lingo

-When riding forward and spinning toward a rail 180, it is called Alleyoop
-When riding forward and spinning away from a rail 180, it is called Truespin

When riding fakie and spinning 180� toward a rail, it is called Inspin
When riding fakie and spinning 180� away from a rail, it's called Outspin

When riding fakie and spinning 0 or 90� (sideways) into a grind, it is called "Zero Spin" or just Zero for short. Its also called just a Fakie/Switch On.

Mizou Grind
Mizou Grinds can be done straight up or crouched down.
If you need help with the latter style just as JoeyAncz

Kindgrind
Kindgrind is another name for an alleyoop(spin into backwards) topside mizou. (JoeyAncz)

Pornstar
Kind of the opposite of a Mizou. (Hardcore)

Grab Guide
-Created using a combination of SBOL/SkiboardMagazine/Toxboe/Newschoolers

Safety Grab

Probably the easiest grab to throw. Simply take your right hand and grab under you're right binding on the outside of the skiboard

Mute grab.

This grab is done by crossing the skiboards, and using the right hand to grab the outside of edge of the left skiboard in front of the binding.

Mute Cross

Liu-Kang

Once in the air, keep your right leg fully extended straight down. Tuck your left leg in and grab it with the left arm.

Flying Fish

Once in the air, bring both knees toward chest. Extend your right leg and lock it. With your right hand grab the right edge of the right skiboard. Can be done opposite hand, opposite side.

Truck driver

This grab is done by having both right and left hands grabbing outside edge of the same skiboard (right to right, left to left) arms fully outstretched, in front of toe piece

Nose Grab

This Grab involves the right hand grabbing the outside edge of the right skiboard at the tip.

Japan grab

This grab is done by reaching your right hand behind your back and grabbing the inside edge of the left skiboard at or behind the back of the bindings

StaleFish

Once in the air, extend your right leg straight in front of you, locking the knee. Bend your left leg and twist it so its parallel to the ground so that the left skiboard is parallel with the right leg. With left hand grab the inside of the right skiboard, looks better at the tip. With right hand grab the bottom of left skiboard at binding under your butt.

Critical grabs

This grab is very similar to japan grabs, except instead of being grabbed behind the binding, you grab in front of the binding. So you reach across your body, grab the inside of edge of the left skiboard with right hand, in front of toe piece.

Toxic grabs

This grab is done done by crossing the fronts of the skiboards, then grabbing the inside edge of the right skiboard with the right hand.

Parallel grab
Reach over knees and grab the left foot with the right hand.

Blunt Grab

This Grab is done by grabbing the outside edge of the right skiboard with the right hand, but with the skiboards uncrossed

Crouton Grab

This Grab is done by grabbing japan with the right hand then grabbing the inside edge of the left ski with the left hand.

Rocket Air

This grab is done by extending both legs forward and uses one hand to grab the skiboard opposite of hand.

So Ty, maybe you can answer this. Is the Yoda grab a real thing? I heard of it last year but have been unable to find an image or video of it.

yea its a real thing, i saw some pics of it somewhere, its also kind of like an abstract. It looks really ugly tho haha let me see if i can find the pic

i looked it up and its on the sbol trick guide

Abstract (aka Yoda) - Once in the air, tuck your knees up while crossing your skiboards under you. hold them there as long as possible. abstracts do not involve grabs typically

- but i have seen them down with both skiboards grabbed....and i gotta say it looks really ugly imo

**DennisEvans** · 08-19-2008, 04:56 PM

I think it would look pretty cool with a 360 added in.

theres actually quite a few differences...

I don't list every inline grind...although i have to add some sick new ones ive seen in freestyle skiing

This is a fahvegnugen/full torque. both skis tilted forward, sliding on your sidewalls.

opposite of a farf, a royale, both skis back on edge.

One off the top of my head is the definition of bio among other things. This one also features videos instead of rough descriptions.
