Definition: Backside refers to rotations or turns done so that the skateboarder's back is facing the outside of the turn arc.
The name Backside came originally from surfing, as did a lot of skateboarding's original language. The first skaters were in fact sidewalk surfers.
Backside turns are the opposite of frontside turns. Backside is usually put before the name of another trick, such as "Backside 180".
Alternate Spellings: Backside is often shortened to B/S or BS
Examples:
Sarah came flying out the half pipe and did a backside 360 with a tailgrab.
