Answer 3

Frontside is when you are facing the obstacle or ramp

Backside is when you face away from the obstacle or ramp.

If you ride goofy and approach a ramp, so turning left (ccw) is backside and right (cw) is frontside.  It's the opposite for regular.

Answer 4

there's a fs pop shuvit and a bs pop shuvit.

bs is when it is in front of you. people don't refer to that as bs pop shuvit since its the original shuv.

fs is when it goes behind you.

think of it this way front is back and back is front.

it's weird that they made it like this.

Answer 5

can be a lil confusing... pop shuvs can b done both ways, fs and bs... frontside shuvs rotate outside(board makes a 180 degree right turn 4 goofy...) people usually call the other regular pop shuv... no fs or bs.... heres n easy way to remember grinds n slides... if the ledge is behind u, bs... in front, fs... no matter what...
