Video Transcript

"MATT VANSTEENIS: Hi. My name is Matt Vansteenis on behalf of Expert Village. Today, we're going to learn how to snowboard the terrain park here at beautiful Mt. Brighton in Brighton, Michigan. Okay, so now that we've got comfortable on our snow pyramid, and we've done some straight airs and some shifties, we're going to step it up and throw some spins over it. So, I'm going to do a backside 180 just like we did earlier, but this time, I'm going to grab melon which around the front leg behind you. You grab right down, right down there. So, it's nice, this is a really styley trick too. You can pop them and float them and grab them. They look really really nice and they're really fun and they're quite easy too. So, just same thing as a 180, you can backside 180 but this time we're going to suck our knees up and we're going to grab behind our front leg, right on this heel side between your bindings. So, well give it a shot."
