Backside Lipslide

Backside Lipslide




  • 1) Put in your favorite ACDC tape to pump up the session.
  • 2) Don't try this trick until you have first learned to do backside 50-50's, frontside boardslides, and backside 180's.
  • 3) Approach the ledge or rail like you are about to do a backside 50-50.
  • 4) A Start winding up your shoulders like you do when you do a bakside 180 and as you clear the top of the ledge or rail use the wind-up to turn about 90 degrees into the backside lipslide position.
  • 5) Now slide! The faster you go the further you'll slide but if you are on a rail or a box you need to keep most of your weight on your backfoot to get a good slide.
  • 6) To come out, if on a rail, you just need to turn out like any other boarslide. On a ledge or box, however, you must put pressure on your tail to "pop" off the ledge, especially if it is a ledge with no end.
