A Guide To The Most Scenic Road Trips Around The World

BY  Sibashree Jun 12, 2026

Freestyle is the main foundation of snowboarding. However, every rider has to learn the basic snowboarding tricks, from grinds to spins and grabs to butters.   Furthermore, you need a roadmap for becoming a park-ready snowboarder.  Also, you have to maintain your style equally before and after the drop. So, along with knowing the tricks, you need to choose snowboard jackets and snowboard pants that ensure superior performance with freestyle readiness.  What Are The Coolest Snowboarding Tricks?  You can divide the snowboarding tricks into four categories, and these are: Flips Spins Grabs Butters Flips mean rotating around the horizontal axis. On the other hand, spins are ideal for showcasing rotational tricks centering around the vertical axis.  Furthermore, in the grabs technique, you can grab the board in more than one position.  Moreover, butters means placing the board on the ground and using presses and spins for rails and jumps.  However, Ollie is the basic or main trick behind snowboarding.  The Ollie: The Basic Snowboarding Tricks From corked 10s to butters, you will find the simple Ollie trick. However, this is a trick that can only be perfected with practice.  Furthermore, this trick involves four stages: You have to energize the board. Then, you have to center the balance backward.  Next, you have to drive off the back.  Finally, you have to tuck the nose to square up. Now, here are the four tricks a snowboarder needs to master. However, before getting into the details of the tricks, I want to define what a switch is. What Does Switch Mean?  As a rider, you will have a natural leading foot.  Left Foot Forward is Regular. Right Foot Forward is Goofy. Also, riding “switch” means riding with your non-dominant foot forward, essentially riding your board backward from how you normally would. Many advanced tricks either require a switch landing or start from a switch stance, which is why you'll see it mentioned constantly in trick names and descriptions.  A switch is not an optional detail. It changes the difficulty of the trick fundamentally. 1. Butter Tricks  If you have to learn about the basic tricks of Nollies and Ollies, rotation, and board awareness, butter tricks are the best.  Tail Press You can initiate the tail press with the shift of your weight toward the board’s tail. You have to ride straight and lift the nose out of the snow.  Ollie And Nollie  Ollie is the foundation, and Nollie is the same in the opposite direction. In Ollie, you shift the pressure backward, and Nollie is the trick where you need to shift the pressure forward.  Then, you will have to press down on the nose for spring.  Nose Press  Nose Press is the inverse of Tail Press. Here, your weight has to be over the nose of the board. Thus, the tail remains free of the snow.  Tail Drag  You have to start a nose roll or a tail drag. Furthermore, once you get the first pop, you have to keep the board straight.  Here, you will not spin to get back to your natural spin. This is also called the “Nose-Roll to Pretzel.” Nose-Roll 180 Begin a toe or heelside turn. Once your edge engages, lift the tail while keeping the nose down, then spin 180 into a switch. Tripod When you are riding straight, you have to look behind. Then, you can start a heavy tail press.  Next, you need to go down and touch the snow with your hands. Thus, you will use your arms and tail to form the tripod.  Tail-Drag 180 You have to start a heelside or toe turn and do ollying. Thus, you can keep the tail on the snow.  Then, you can drag the board and land the switch.  Nose-Roll 360  The start for Nose-Roll 360 is very similar to the Nose-Roll 180. However, here the rotational force is greater, and the pop is harder.  In this trick, when your board is at an angle of 90 degrees to the direction you are riding.  Then, you can lift your nose from the snow and go for an airborne spin until it becomes a complete 360 degree.  Tail-Drag 360 Here, the start is the same as the Tail-Drag 180, and here, you need to drag the tail to perpendicular and pop harder.  Then, you will lift the board from the snow to finish a complete rotation of 360 degrees.  2. Grabs Tricks  Grabbing the snowboard in the middle of a flight is the space where freestyle was created. This is a stylish trick for snowboarding.  Indy Reach down with your back hand and grip the toe edge between your feet. Stalefish  In this grab trick, your back hand reaches past your back knee to grab the heel edge between the bindings. Tail  Here, you can use your trailing hand and grab the tail of the board right at the tip. This grab will not be on the sides.  Melon  Grab the heel edge between your feet using your front hand, reaching outside your lead knee. Weddle  Earlier, the Weddle trick was known as Mute Grab. It got its name from Chris Weddle, who invented the trick and tried for the first time in 1981.  The change of name happened in 2021, and as The Guardian reported,  “For almost 40 years, the “mute grab” has been part of a skateboarder’s bag of tricks: the lead hand grabs the toe side of the board between their feet. Now, the trick is being renamed to better honour its inventor, Chris Weddle, a deaf skater who was never actually mute in the first place.” In this trick, you will have to use your lead hand and grab your toe edge between the bindings.  Method If you want to master a more stylish move than Melon, you can try the Method trick. In this move, you have to stretch your legs from the Melon Grab stance, and thus the shape of your body will be like a scorpion tail.  Then, you will have to use your trailing hand before you aim high. The beauty of the method is that in this, everyone can try a different version.  In snowboarding, Method Grab has one of the most fascinating stories of origin.  The most amazing part is that it was not discovered on a mountain.   Rider Neil Blender started on a skateboard vert ramp in 1985. He was then taking part a highest-air contest.  The rules were to measure the air height from the lowest point of the body of the rider on board.  So, to squeeze out extra height, Blender arched his back and pulled the board up. He called it his best “method” for winning.  Thus, the method trick got its name and became very popular by the late 1980s. Even today, it is one of the most recognizable moves of snowboarding. Nose  In this trick, you will have to use your leading hand to grab the nose of your board. Roast Beef  Skateboarder Jeff Grosso invented this trick, and he called it the worst maneuver in skateboarding.  He admitted that he only started grabbing there because it was easier for him than a stalefish. However, today, it is one of the easiest “through-the-legs” grabs to learn.  In this trick, your rear hand reaches between your legs and grabs the heel edge of the board between the bindings, with your rear leg boned (straightened) for style. Chicken Salad  Because of the same through-the-legs motion, Roast Beef is often seen as the same as the Chicken Salad trick.  However, this trick is different because here you will grab the heel edge with your rear hand while your front leg is boned and your wrist rotates inward. So, you will reach between the legs with the rear hand to grab the heel edge while keeping the front leg extended. Many snowboarders also casually call the variations of the Chicken Salad Chicken Wing on the mountain.  However, in standard competitions, Chicken Salad remains the standard name. 3. Spins, Flips, And Corks  The tricks based on rotations are called spins, and as you try spins on the horizontal axis, you will land in a switch or natural position.  Spins happen in 180-degree increments. Furthermore, the following variations will offer you a switch landing. 180 540 800 1260 1620 On the other hand, the following spins will ensure a natural landing.  360 720 1080 1440 1800 Moreover, corks and flips are rotations on the vertical axis. However, they are very different from spins, and each of the variations has a distinct name.  Here are the tricks you are going to try.  Wildcat   Wildcat is a backflip trick. Here, you will have to keep the board in a parallel position to the riding line.  Thus, you will do a side slip but will not use the momentum. Tamedog Tamedog is the exact opposite of Wildcat. It is a frontflip trick, and here also the board remains parallel to the riding line.  However, you will also use the hard Nollie trick so that the nose becomes your springboard and you start rotating.  Backflip  In the backflip trick, the board will create a 90-degree angle to the snow. In this, you will flip the board backwards directly.  Thus, the board will have a straight landing.  Frontflip  Frotflip has many similarities with Tamedog. Here, you will have to do a Nollie and a nose-press to initiate the lip.  Then, you will use both hands and reach forward to start the somersault. You will also shift the board back into the landing place.  Rodeo It is a frontflip but with a difference. Launch a frontside turn off the lip, pop from your toe edge, and pull a frontflip 180 to a switch landing. It has become such a building block that riders now stack difficulty onto it. A “Backside Rodeo 540” is a genuine flex in the competition.  Backside Rodeo It is just the reverse of Rodeo. Start a backside turn at the lip, pop off your heel edge, and execute a backflip with a 180 to land switch.  Moreover, if you want to showcase the maximum style, you must try a Backside Rodeo 540.  Corked Spin  A corked spin is a simple addition of a backflip or a frontflip to a flat spin. It is a popular trick in competitive settings.  In these tricks, professionals “Cab Triple Cork 14s” or “Double Corked 10s.”  However, like the Rodeos, you can make any spin corked.  Rails And Boxes: Some Tricks For The Street Riders On A Mountain Encounter If you don’t want to try flatland and air tricks, or if you are a street rider, you surely love your rails and boxes.  Here are the common grinds you can try while snowboarding on the mountain.  Trick NameApproach DirectionBoard PositionTakeoff/Pop StyleLeading Edge/Feature Placement 50-50Straight OnParallel (Straight)Standard Pop Flat Base on the Rail or BoxFrontside BoardslideRail on the Front SidePerpendicular (Sideways)Nose Rising Over the RailHeel Edge Leads with Backward SlidingFrontside LipslideRail on the Front SidePerpendicular (Sideways)Tail Rising Over the RailCentred between the BindingsBackside BoardslideRail on the Back SidePerpendicular (Sideways)Nose Rising Over the RailCentred between the BindingsBackside LipslideRail on the Back SidePerpendicular (Sideways)Tail Rising Over the RailHeel Edge LeadsTailpressStraight OnParallel (Straight)Shift Weight BackwardFlat Base with Tail Pressed DownNosepressStraight OnParallel (Straight)Shift Weight BackwardFlat Base with Nose Pressed DownBluntslideWill Vary Based on the EntryPerpendicular (Sideways)Ollie or High PopRail Sits Directly Under One Binding Know The Glossary Of The Coolest Snowboarding Trick Names If you want to know what are some of the coolest snowboarding trick names and the lore behind them, you can begin with the glossary I shared.  However, you can also master these tricks.  1. Switch McTwist Switch McTwist was originally a skateboard trick. Skater Mike McGill first landed the move.  It was a combination of a front flip and a 540-degree rotation on a halfpipe in 1984. His teammate, Rodney Mullen, named the trick in his honor.  He took “Mc” from MacGill’s name and combined it with “twist.”  This trick came into snowboarding when Shaun White performed in the Vancouver Olympics in 2010, defending his title.  In a Switch McTwist, the same flipping 540 is required, and you need to perform it from a switch or a backward-leading stance.  So, it is a much harder variation, combining an already-difficult invert with reversed footing. 2. Double Crippler  You can perform a double crippler on the frontside wall of a halfpipe and not on the backside wall, which is a more common option.  So, it is disorienting, and you can't spot your landing the same way. Add a second flip, and you get the Double Crippler, a very difficult trick.  Maddie Mastro became the first woman to land it, at 18 years old, during her 2019 Burton U.S. Open win. No matter which trick you try, learn and practice it properly from professional trainers and wear the helmet to stay safe during the real adventure. Learning The Basics And Building On It The snowboarding tricks and the lore behind them can feel overwhelming at first.  However, if you want, you can build your vocabulary logically. Start with the Ollie and butter tricks to build board awareness.  Then, move into basic grabs like Indy and Melon once you're comfortable in the air, and only chase spins, corks, and flips once those fundamentals are second nature. Furthermore, most of today’s iconic tricks, the Method, the McTwist, and the Roast Beef started as one rider's happy accident or stubborn experiment. So, learn the basics properly, and eventually you might invent something worth naming yourself. Read Also: How Is It Possible For Ski Jumpers To Stay In The Air Long And How To They Train For That?

I remember my first quiet Sunday in Paris—it caught me off guard. The whole city just… slowed down. No horns, no rush, just this calm hum underneath everything. You could actually hear the church bells bouncing off the empty streets.  It will feel a bit strange at first. You will feel like you woke up before the world did. Some of the shops will be shut, some light spilling over the rooftops, and the air will smell like freshly baked bread.  By mid-morning, the city will wake up again, but this time it will be slow. The shops will open, and you will notice people moving around, communicating with others. Things will seem slow and cozy, and you will see how these people enjoy life.  Same with Rue Mouffetard—music from nowhere, old ladies arguing over fruit, a kid tugging at his mom’s sleeve. Even Batignolles, tucked away from the usual crowd, hums with its own little rhythm.  There are various things to do on Sunday in Paris, as the major attractions might be closed. Some of the major markets and shops will not open. So, it is important that you plan something nice and simple and just enjoy life in Paris for a day. Take things slow.  Increasingly, travelers are planning their itineraries around this day of calm discovery, aided by thoughtfully designed all inclusive holidays to Paris that include cultural experiences off the beaten path, offering a deeper glimpse into authentic Parisian life. Things To Do On Sunday In Paris Lately, people have caught on to this slower Paris. Paris vacation packages even have it built in now—whole days with no schedule, just “see what happens.” I used one once, through Travelodeal maybe, and their whole pitch was to live like a local.  That sounded like marketing fluff, but honestly, they weren’t wrong. They sent me to buy bread from a tiny boulangerie, told me to sit under the sycamores at Place des Vosges, and just watch people. Simple. Beautiful. You end up seeing a side of Paris that doesn’t try to impress you—it just is. 1. Market Mornings And Fresh Finds If you can get yourself out early (I barely managed), the markets are wild in the best way. Marché Bastille is my favorite. It’s messy, loud, alive.  You will hear people arguing about prices, vendors shouting, and someone playing accordion like he is auditioning for a movie. Piles of tomatoes, a bunch of scarves, the smell of bread, everything will make you feel alive. 2. Stillness In The Streets Then everything quiets down again. Around late morning, it’s like the city decides to take a nap. Montmartre, Le Marais—they turn soft and slow. Shutters half-closed, sunlight sliding across cobblestones, the occasional bike bell echoing through an alley.  You pass an artist sketching, someone leaning on a balcony, a couple holding hands, as if time had stopped for them. It’s cinematic, honestly. On a Sunday, walking across the Seine feels like walking through someone’s dream. 3. Long Lunches, Parisian-Style Now, if there’s one thing Parisians take seriously, it’s Sunday lunch. You can’t rush it. Even if you tried, they’d probably ignore you until you relaxed.  Tables fill with families, old friends, strangers turned companions. You order steak-frites or roast chicken, maybe onion soup if you’re lucky. Bread everywhere, wine always flowing.  No one looks at their watch. Meals last hours—literally. You talk, eat, sip, pause, talk again. And dessert? You don’t skip it. Tarte Tatin, if you can find it. Or cheese. Always cheese. 4. Enjoy High Tea Enjoying a high tea in Paris is one of the best things to do on a Sunday in Paris. Most of the big hotels also offer afternoon tea even on public holidays. The Ritz Paris offers afternoon tea, which creates a sense of occasion.  Afternoon tea at Le Meurice is something you should experience at least once in your lifetime. However, you will have to book this in advance as this is quite popular. Moreover, you can try afternoon tea at Le Bristol.  This is kind of a hidden gem, and not as popular as its competitors. It is less crowded and you will be able to visit it on public holidays as well. There is no reason to be crowded, but you have to book it in advance.  5. Parks And Picnics In Full Bloom If the weather is sunny and pleasant, you need to get out. There is no point staying indoors. Visit one of the parks like Parc Monceau, Jardin du Luxembourg, and Buttes-Chaumont.  Kids enjoy the park; they chase pigeons. You will notice musicians singing by the fountains, and older couples sitting peacefully, enjoying the surroundings. All you will need is a bottle of wine, a baguette, and some cheese. Just sit around and watch life unfold around you. 6. Go Shopping Among so many things to do on Sunday in Paris, there is no way to miss out on shopping. However, make sure there are no big holidays, or the stores will be closed. The designer shops and the big brands generally keep their store open on Sundays. However, do not estimate the flea shops. The St. Ouen flea market is less crowded, and you will be able to shop easily there, and getting there is also not very difficult. It is a small site, and you will be able to browse through stuff easily, and the variety you get here is unmatched. Where Everyday Life Becomes The Highlight By evening, you realize how little you’ve done. There are so many things to do on Sunday in Paris. And somehow, that’s the magic.  Paris doesn’t need your checklist—it just wants you to slow down long enough to notice it. The soft chatter, the smell of bread, the light hitting the Seine—it all feels like a secret only you found. Walking home that night, I remember thinking: nothing spectacular happened. No grand event, no story to brag about. Yet it felt like one of those rare days you actually lived instead of rushed through. That’s a Parisian Sunday for you. Quiet. Ordinary. And absolutely unforgettable.

The Arkansas Hot Springs National Park is a place where stories and histories are intertwined with natural abundance and unique geological features.  Home to 47 hot springs, this national park has been a place of healing and relaxation. These springs offer the ultimate spa treatment after you complete arduous hiking through the trails.    Are you ready to indulge in a therapeutic experience at this national park known as the American Spa? Let’s take a deep dive.  Also, I have grabbed this opportunity to talk about the rich history of the park.  Know The Hot Springs National Park History And Culture  The 5,500-acre landscape of the Hot Springs National Park tells us many tales from the trails and springs. This park has seen novaculite extraction by American Indians for thousands of years, as well as The Great Fire of 1878.  Even before the park’s designation as a Hot Springs Reservation in 1832, historic events like the Dunbar-Hunter Expedition took place here. Many historic places in the park, including the Hot Springs Mountain Tower, Arlington Lawn, and Stonebridge Area, have been narrating the stories of this park for centuries.  Hot Springs Mountain Tower Built in 1983, Hot Springs Mountain Tower is a great place for visitors to enjoy the panoramic view of the park and the surrounding area from a 1,256 ft height.  Don’t miss to catch a glimpse of the Ouachita Mountains from the open-air upper deck of the tower. The air-conditioned lower observation deck offers you the opportunity to explore exhibits related to the history of the locality and the park. Also, if you want to collect souvenirs, you can visit the gift shop at the base of the Hot Springs Mountain Tower. This tower was first built as a wooden structure in 1877 by Enoch Woolman. Further, in 1906, a new steel tower was built, and it was known as Rix Tower after Charles N. Rix, the then-president of Arkansas National Bank. However, the Rix Tower was taken down in 1971.  Bathhouse Row The Bathhouse Row is probably the most iconic and visited place in the Hot Springs National Park. It has 8 bathhouse buildings, all of them built between 1892 and 1923, adding to the historic and architectural value of the park. These eight bathhouses are: Lamar Bathhouse Buckstaff Bathhouse Ozark Bathhouse Quapaw Bathhouse Fordyce Bathhouse Maurice Bathhouse Hale Bathhouse Superior Bathhouse In 1987, Bathhouse Row with Grand Promenade became a National Historic Landmark District. Arlington Lawn The Arlington Lawn gets its name from the presence of the first two luxurious versions of the Arlington Hotel present here.  The first version of the hotel was built in 1875, and a second or grander version replaced it in 1893. The second version had a glorious run until 1923 when a fire broke it down. In 1925, the third Arlington Hotel (which you can see now) came up an unbelievable 500-room accommodation.  Whittington Park  Whittington Park got its name from Hiram Abiff Whittington, an early resident of Hot Springs. The greenway stretches along Whittington Creek, which stands between Sugarloaf Mountain and West Mountain.  Constructed in the late 1890s, Whittington Park was initially called Whittington Lake Reserve. You can enjoy a relaxing walk through this tree-shaded greenway.  Stonebridge Area  The Stonebridge Area is the best spot in the National Park to watch turtles. You will also see a waterfall area carving through step-like structures in the rocks.  Further, Lake Lillian, now known as Ricks Pond, is here with its tranquil beauty and turtles floating in the water.  What Is Hot Springs National Park Famous For?  Known as the American Spa, Hot Springs National Park has 47 natural hot springs. Since the early 1800s, people have been visiting this park to soak in the hot and cold springs here. Further, thanks to the healing geothermal waters here, bathhouses and a full-fledged bathing industry were built here. The average temperature of the bath springs water here is 143° Fahrenheit. You can soak in the springs in the Buckstaff and Quapaw bathhouses, as there are no opportunities for soaking in the water outdoors. You can even drink the water from these springs, and the geothermal water of the springs has healing properties.  Hot Springs In The National Park  Here are some of the hot springs in the national park. You will find hot springs In front of the Libbey Memorial Physical Medicine Center and the National Park Service Administration Building on Reserve St. Visit the Bathhouse Row and find the hot springs between the Hale and Maurice Bathhouses.  You will find the Noble Fountain at the Grand Promenade south entrance on Reserve St. If you want to touch the geothermal water of the springs, you can visit the shallow pool where the Display Spring falls.  Cold Water Spring Fountains  Happy Hollow and Whittington Spring are two cold water spring fountains in the national park. The origin of the Whittington Spring is the West Mountain, and the Hollow Spring comes from the North Mountain. Hiking And Camping In Hot Springs National Park Camping and hiking are two of the most fascinating things to do in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas.  Hiking In Hot Springs National Park  Hot Springs and North Mountain Trails and West Mountain Trails are the two most popular destinations in the park for trekking. However, there is also a Sunset Trail, which is longer and passes through the remote areas of the park. Hot Springs And North Mountain Trails Along with the most amazing scenic view, these trails have highlight points such as Stephen’s Balustrade or the Grand Staircase, Gulpha Gorge Campground, Hot Springs Mountain Drive, and Fordyce Bathhouse.  West Mountain Trails If you want to explore the vivid wildlife of the Hot Springs, you will have to take the West Mountain Trails. Find the trails through the Canyon Trailhead and Whittington Park.  Sunset Trail The longest in the Hot Springs, the Sunset Trail, is a straight 10-mile hike. Also, if you want to complete the loop, you will have to cover 15-17 miles.  The best thing about this trail is that it takes you to places less trodden by in the park. Further, hiking in the long trail will be broken into three sections: West Mountain, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Stonebridge Road.  Camping In The Gulpha Gorge Campground This campground is most suitable for tents and RVs or recreational vehicles. Basic amenities like water, electricity, and sewage are available at the campground.  Further, there are facilities like pedestal grills and picnic tables.  You can stay for a maximum of 14 days at a stretch in the camp. In addition, the park authority does not allow camping for more than 30 days in a calendar year.  Final Words  The Hot Springs National Park has been consistently getting more than 2 million visitors for the last few years. In 2023, 2,502,967 people paid a visit to this park to indulge in the therapeutic experience of the hot springs, explore wildlife, and enjoy hiking. (Source) Further, you can never forget how significant this park is from the perspective of history and culture. Exploring the Stonebridge Area and spending some time in Whittington Park or other historic places in the park will help you learn how American Indians extracted novaculite from this park and made their tools and accessories.  In addition, prominent names in American history, such as Dr. Timothy L.
