How does a tail-spin work on a snowboard?

A tail-spin is a complete flat spin on the snow, performed mostly over the board’s tail. You ride slightly angled, shift weight backward, press the tail into the snow, rotate the upper body energetically. With proper tension, the board slides over the edge, completing a full rotation around its axis. Sometimes a small pop in the middle helps finish the last degrees. The trick requires control, body tension, and good timing. You learn how to guide the board with your body and initiate spins without a jump. The tail-spin is not essential, but a stylish trick for advanced beginners who enjoy press and spin tricks.
