Frontside Alley-oop

Snowboarding Halfpipe Riding Style over Spins
Frontside Alley-oop

The progression of freestyle snowboarding has progressed astronomically over the passed five years. Five years ago an Alley-oop trick paired with a stylish method, front and back 900s would win you a snowboard half pipe contest. Today unless you're Danny Davis, you must throw huge doubles in both directions to earn a spot on a podium. Danny Davis's recent resurgence to half pipe glory with his creative and stylish tricks has kept the progression of double tricks and the concept of "of spin to win" at a standstill.
The frontside alley-oop is a half pipe trick that allows riders to incorporate their own style while still going huge with less spinning involved. Instead of spinning down the pipe, the rider spins up the wall which creates a really floaty spin that can be grabbed and tweaked in any way.
