Board above head in the front rotation will make it a S-bend to blind. Right?

This thread perfectly highlights the obvious reason why this forum and this sport holds such little credibility in the wider boardsports community.

No

Your board can be above your head in a front roll as well as an s-bend, it's how you initiate and perform the rotation that defines the trick

and you think that every snowboarder exactly knows all the names off the tricks and how to perform them?

hehe, if I put it like this then:

Do a raley, when your board is above your head, start the front rotation :-)
Must body be stretched during the rotation?

Exactly, and the diverse opinion from judges if they should judge the trick. Could it happen that a dispute between judges would take place and one calls it a frontroll2blind and another an S-bend2blind?

An S-bend2blind must be initiated as a railey and then rotated to the front. A true S-bend gets somehow inverted or at least it must be horizontal. I have been doing S-bends for some time with the kite low but once I tried it out at a cable, I found out how a REAL S-BEND feels like! :thumb:
