ok, i call it back side when,while riding regular, you spin to the left, andif your goofy you spin to the right. but alot of people say it the other way-round, including a few of the trricl tips on this site. which one is it?

alright here it is

frontside is when the front of youre body turns the direction of which you are being pulled and backside is when the back of youre body turns the direction of which you are being pulled

there fore if youre are left foot foward frontside would be if you start youre spin to the left and back side would be if you start youre spin to the right and visa versa if youre right foot foward

so a back side 540 would be if youre left foot foward if you spin to the right 540 degrees

When people have problems remembering the difference I tell them. If you spin towards your front foot, its frontside. If you spin towards your back foot, its backside.

This pertains to how your riding at the time not what you natural stance is.

jzwake, thats not a good way at all becuase you can be spinning towards youre back foot but behind you therefore making people think frontside is backside

spinning towards heelside is fronside?
