Confused by snowboarding commentary at the Winter Olympics in Milan? Here's a plain-English guide to snowboarding trick names, so you actually know what you're watching.

The men’s snowboard big air final takes the spotlight Saturday, with riders launching off massive jumps as medals are decided in the trick-based event.

In the early 1970s, Dimitrije Milovich and Wayne Stoveken began building boards meant specifically to surf the snow, testing ideas in Utah’s deep powder. This became Winterstick, one of the earliest companies to treat the snowboard as serious winter sport gear with a purpose-built design.

Men's snowboarding coverage on Saturday will be split between NBC and USA, which you can stream on DirecTV, Hulu + Live TV and more. You can watch the Big Air final live on USA at 1:30 p.m., and a re-air at 3:15 p.m. ET on NBC.

Snowboarding once again will have compelling storylines going into the Milan Cortina Olympics as all the athletes will compete at the Livigno Snow Park in Valtellina, which is right on the Swiss border in the Italian Alps.
