frontside
Skateboard trick direction
Frontside describes a skateboarding or snowboarding maneuver where the rider's front faces the obstacle, ramp, or direction of travel during the trick.
A frontside 180 rotates the body so the chest leads; a frontside grind has the skater approaching with their front toward the rail or ledge.
The opposite is backside, where the rider's back faces the feature.
