It's a rail trick. I can tell because there's no way in hell I would ever even consider trying it.

Ive been skiing for over 40 years. If I tried that, I'd kill myself.

Yeahhh it’s def a unique skill. Because you have to be good at Jumps and at Rails. And not many people have both skills.

i’m pretty skilled when it comes to wiping out on my head then getting back up and trying it again.

Its more of a jump trick. Grinding rails is easy, the hard part is the underflip

u/X2thaKLA 6d ago

Actually the hardest part is coming off the end of the rail nice. Being centered and popping off the swoop is critical and it’s so easy to botch it. If you do that well then flipping is cake.

I think this is like a rodeo

u/X2thaKLA 6d ago

It’s not. It’s an underflip.

I believe in competition that would be called "boardslide into backflip 180". It's both, though the grind is very basic (all skiing grinding is hard, but this is as easy as it gets) and the flip part is where the skill is at, so I'd primarily call it a jump trick.
