how do i learn new tricks on my snowboard?

i have been doing terrain for 2 years now and i want to step it up a notch i’m moving up from begginner terrain to more advanced and i want to learn some of the other tricks that would be in that area please let me know thank you

More advanced terrain just requires solid basic techniques. If you are already spinning small jumps, you should attempt to spin slower on larger jumps. Youtube has some ok trick tip videos and I find the best way to learn new tricks is to talk to people who already have them nailed. Snowboard addiction seems to have some really good trick tips, search for clips on youtube.
If you are looking for some specific tricks, after ollies try small spins (180s, 360s) in all directions with a variety of grabs. On rails start with 50-50s, progress onto fs and bs boardslides and then worry about more tech stuff like tail-pressing, buttering and michael jacksons!
