The back side rodeo is a more advanced trick and you shouldn't attempt it unless you feel comfortable upside down. when you drop in to the jump come in with a little less speed than normal because you will pop a lot more off the lip. You start by doing a toe side turn at the base of the jump, as you are going up the jump switch your weight from your toes to your heels. When you get to the lip drop your back shoulder just a little bit and that will start your flipping rotation. With your head look backwards to spot your landing to keep your back flip from stalling out upside down, don't "freak out" upside down just stay calm and let the flip come all the way around . Tuck your knees up and go into a melon grab and this will make you spin your 540. Open up as you spot you landing and just stomp the landing to finish off your trick.
so in short
1. Toe side turn as you near the jump
2. Heel side turn to transfer you weight
3. Drop back shoulder and grab melon.
4. Don't freak out
5. Spot your landing
6. Stomp the landing
7. Do it again!

top three snowboarding parks in north america
The parks will be viewed on what type of features they have and also on the flow and creativeness of the parks layout that it has, also on what the park has to offer to all riders.
3. Keystone Colorado, Keystone used to be a secret, but after years of consistent park builds, pro competitions, and photos in the mags there scene is beginning to get noticed. There hit-packed Area 51 park zones offer everything from mini jumps for the beginners to the pro line on upper Main Street for those who want to show there stuff. The laid out mellow flow of obstacles and jumps is always getting a fresh groom to keep all the jumps maintained.
2. Mammoth California, Mammoth has led terrain-park innovation for a decade with there pro level main park and there more mellow park on the south side. On any given day in the winter there is something new being made in both main park and south park. Main Park in the most pro populated park run in snowboarding. Mammoth has some of the most consistent and progressive parks in all of north America.
1. Bear Mountain, California, Bear don’t see a lot of natural snow but that’s never kept Bear from having the best all mountain terrain parks from peak to parking lot. The reason is snow making, Their upgraded snow making system is now putting more snow exactly where they want it making jumps, jibs and wall rides possible. Every one on the park crew is a rider to give the park its own personal feel which is the “the key to Bear’s success.” With 163 jibs, 5 wall rides and 20 pro level jumps. It has two dedicated park cats, and a full-time night rail crew constantly reconfiguring the park and jib lines. There is always something fresh to hit, jib, slide, or sesh at Bear Mountain.

Taking part in history
If i could go back in time i would go to woodstock. It was a three day concert promoting peace, It was held at Max Yasgurs dairy farm from August 15 to August 18, 1969. There were 32 different preformers and they preformed for 500,000 people. Woodstock is widly known as one of the most pivotal turning points in music history. The two artiststhat draw me to the festival is 'The Who" who closed the secod day with a 25 song set list, and "Jimmy Hendrex" who closed the third and final day with a large setlist of 20+ songs
