If a rider was to grab the swallow tail of a fish in the air, calling it a nose grab would just seem wrong to me?????

When would you ever take a swallow tail into the park, or ride it switch in powder, or ride it switch, ever?

But yes, if you did ride it switch, then the swallow tail would essentially become your nose. It is now the nose of your snowboard because the nose is the part of the board that is in the lead. The tail, is always trailing.

Are you implying this is normal or that you or average snowboarder Joe would ever ride a swallow tail like that? Either way, as I said, the swallow tail still becomes the nose.
