This will be my sixteenth year riding (32 years old w/ wife and 3 kids) and in recent years I've really taken a liking to stalls. My favorite mountain has plans to add many more stall features this year and I don't really have many in my trick bag to use. I'm terrible at trick names, always have been, so what I can do I probably call the wrong thing. Last year I posted up the question what one was called. The feature was on top of a spine, I ride in regular or switch, spin frontside or backside 180 on, continue spinning another 180, 360, or 540 on top then, depending on position, drop back in over the spine or back down the side I rode up. I have no idea what it's called. It might look weak but it's fun to do and I never see anyone else doing it. Maybe it's really lame that's why no else is doing it. Seems to get a few shouts from the crowd when I pull it though.
Aside from the many variations of that, I've got nose-picks(? wrong name?) down. Does it matter if you spin frontside or backside on those? Does that change the trick name? I've got tail? blunt? stalls down. This next one I have no idea what it's called and it's another one I never see anyone doing but it took many attempts before I got it right. The feature was a 5-6 foot telephone poll on top of a 1/4 pipe. I would ride up regular or switch, rotate frontside 90 degrees, hit the pole in the center of the board, suck up the impact with my knees (that was the hard part to learn), seems like I just hang there for a second, then push off spin another 90 and ride back down the 1/4. Does that have a name?
What other stalls are there?
Names (which I'll forget or get wrong) and a description of how it's done please.

try watching snowboard videos...always a good place to start for gettin some ideas.

You could always try some handplants? just ride up and basically throw a backflip except you want to plant your hand directly behind your tail (most ppl make the mistake of tryin to plant next to them rather than behind them) grab indy (or what ever you find more comfortable), spot your landing by looking back at your hand and drop back in. crucial errors people make which your gonna have to judge for yourself are speed (to slow and you wont get ya legs up, too fast and you'll either pop out or just get worked into the face.) and trying to hold it too long and then collapsing from the weight. dont know if ive explained this very well but im sure ull figure it out...thats half the fun.

EDIT: this video explains it alot better than i did YouTube - Handplants / Inverts, Snowboard trick tip, Regular riders

or you could try a tripod How To’s Day:Tripods with Pat Moore | Transworld Snowboarding

or if your comfortable enough to ride one-footed you could try fast-plants?
