What is the name of the turn? - Snowboarding Forum

What is the name of a kind of turn where you pick up your tail and pivot to change direction in quick succession. I think this is usually used in steep. A friend taught me this several years ago but I never use them until I saw it again about 3 weeks ago.

A nose roll?

You paid for a whole board, you should get your moneys worth and use all of it.

It is not a nose roll. It is used on steep. The tail is picked up in the air to change direction quickly. It is not a hop turn either because the nose stay in contact with the slop.

What woud you gain by having the tail unweighted? What would you loose?

Lets face it, we were all waiting for wolfs definition anyway.

I look up nose roll in various places and they all look like this that spin the tail 180 degree.

I should have more detail for my description. The tail pivots no more than 90 degree and I don't think it needs to involve upper body rotation, maybe more of an up and down movement, similar to hop but just on the tail.
