Hey SkateFreak

You shouldn't use cap locks when typing beacuse it means you're yelling which people don't like, it's actually rude to type with caps just so you know.

Have you read the trick tips in the skateboard section?

If you're still having problems please let us know and be specific.

Thanks

Make sure to turn your body with the board and stay over it, so your foot doesn't come off.

also try not to keep all of your weight on one side. or else it'll flop up and smack ya. thats what happend to me once lol :p

[Flip Boy]

just go for itlean forward going DOWN rails becos you will fall back and hurt your tail bone

goin along b/slides just ollie and go with the board...u probably will fall first time so be prepared and expect it to happen...it may it man not:P

Hey everyone.

So this is the Sh!t<Problem w/ that word? Well anywayz when you boardslide how do you come out w/out riding out the rail?

[Flip Boy]

excuse me???

wghat do you mean...i think you mean "how do you come out of a boardslide" well if that is so just as your about to come off the rail turn slightly and you will turn and roll out

[Sum1Stupid&Ugly]

I mean like when you boardslide and you come out of the boardslide before the rail ends.

[Flip Boy]

no thats sorta hard just do what i sed above!

[AIRZ1]

no its not. well it is if you cant do it. anyhow just come up to the raiil at a speed you feel comfortable with and turn 90 degrees and stay on your board otherwise you are never gonna land. oh yeh and ben if your doing a f/s boardslide down a rail i really wouldnt suggest leaning forward

[Craig Himself]

Keep your body weight sprerad evenly over your legs and keep your body straight!

[poop_loser]

yeah, leaning forward on fs boardslides (especially fast ones or on sloped rails) is a good way to get a broken wrist

[DarkHawk2-2]

then dont lean forward... even out balance and try not to shoot out.

[Kross-Axe]

You know i find that a really low rail or ox is essential. Cos all you have to do is ride up to the transition at an angle and then just lift up your nose then tail and just practise ridin' it. That's what I did then i concentrated on ollie'n onto it which wasn't that hard cos my balance was perfect. Try that ;)
