Backside Nose-Roll tutorial. Key tips: Toe-side to toe-side edge control, and focusing on that will make it safe and give you confidence to really press into the snow and even ride a bit on just the end of the nose and tail while your body is facing uphill.

Play around with it, because this really is a fun one that always feels good once you are solid with it.

I also forgot to mention, its a great one to learn because its the foundation for nollie backside 180's and 360's, along with backside nose-rolls of any amount of rotation (360's,540's,720's...)

2 cans of Monster prior to shredding always helps.

If you have a really stiff board (Burton Custom Xwide), this trick feels amazing at real high speeds as you can have the board almost straight up and down and still be pressing and riding the toe-side. But it'll be almost impossible to do at low speeds. If you have a board with a lot of flex, it'll be easier at low speeds, but at high speeds the nose and tail will feel real squishy and you won't want to lean way into it. Use the toe-side edge only and play with it to figure out the proper weight distribution for your board.

Again, good luck and have fun with it. This is a great one that's not that difficult with a bit of practice.
