Boards and Decks was founded in 2008 by two friends from New Hampshire, Dan Mensinger and Shane Rule. We are huge fans of snowboarding and skateboarding, and when we are not busy with family and websites you can bet we are out there practicing. Boards and Decks goal is to become a destination site for fans of boarding and skating where we can all come together for information and enjoyment.
We have huge plans for the future, but as of now were are still very much in development. If you are interested in contributing content to the website please Contact Us.
The Bedford skatepark is a smallish park. Its a concrete/asphalt park consisting of a mini-pipe, huge quarter-pipe, a four sided fun-box with a sloped rail on one side, spine, and a few other obstacles.
You heard me, we want to see you.. but we cant because we don’t know you. So help us out and send us your favorite pics of you snowboarding or skateboarding. We will place the best ones in our upcoming galleries or other places around the site. Who knows, you might even get your own featured section…
To pull off a tasty backside noseslide you need to be more than comfortable with a frontside boardslide. Begin by dropping into the feature like your going for a backside boardslide, but line yourself up just slightly unparallel to the box. Unless your riding goofy, line yourself up about 6 inches to the right of the box, if your goofy than just go to the left!
The tecnique is basically the same as the backside boardslide, but because of your unparallel entrance, your going to really need to hold your weight towards your nose, otherwise you will slide right off the edge. Once again, the key is commitment. Dont be afraid to really push your bodyweight onto your front foot.
For a clean finish, try the trick with a smooth slow spin and land it fakie. A nice long and smooth noseslide is a great addition to any riding style.
