Inverts - when you jump go upside down with your board high above you.

Harder Tricks

Front spin/roll - jump with a frontside rotation. 720, 1080

backroll/front roll from toeside

deadman - jump, invert yourself, take both hands of the bar and let them hang, then try and land it!

judo air - rider jumps, takes one foot out of footstrap and kicks it out, puts it back in and lands it.

Monkey airs - jump un hooked, hang front middle of bar, preferably with a grab

Advanced Tricks

jumps with half rotations - ie 180 degrees, 540 (jump from heelside, one rotation, and land toeside)

landing jumps blind, ie with back to direction of travel

Tantrum - the rider jumps from heelside into a backflip

Heart Attack - Pioneered by Jeff Tobias, a slingshot rider, mid jump take board completely off, hold by middle handle, then put it back on before landing. Similar to superman move, where the board is held in front of rider instead of while inverted.

Aerial transitions - spins or loops while changing direction in the air. can be combined with any move to increase difficulty.

Rewind - jump and rotate 360 in one direction, then back 360 in the other direction and land, no twisted lines!

911 - pop jump like air railey, and tweak it

s-bend - no whip 911 with backside rotation

Slim chance - jump from heelside, into a front roll inverted, then rotating on the invert axis, with a handle pass

Fat Chance - same as slim chance but jump from heelside into a backsideb rotation
