b/s boardslide

[skatingprep]

i've been practicing my b/s boardslide on my new rail for the past month now and i still cant get it. i dont know why. sometimes i get on the rail then it slides out under me. an other times my left foot wont stay on the board (i'm goofy).
its so frustrating!!!

when you land on the rail try and center you weight into the middle like a normal f/s boardslide and keep your feet on the screws.

and if you cant do a normal f/s boardslide try that first

F/S boardslides are harder then B/S because your back is faceing the way you are sliding so learn boardslides B/S

When the board is slipping out from under you it may because you are leaning to far backwards.

F/S boardslides are harder than b/s. Because f/s is pretty much going backwards but anyway, try getting a good consistent speed. This helped me alot.

yea i am gettin pretty good speed. out of thousands of times i've landed it twice an i didnt ride away i slide off an stopped. yea i'm doin b/s. i was out for about 2 hours practicin them yesterday but still nothin. sometimes i'll get on it but i wont be able to slide very far.

If you slip out, that means you are leaning backwards to much. Try to get your balance centered and do it.

When your landing and stopping is that because you are coming out in switch? because when I started boardslides i would always come out in switch and just stop.

put a deck on top of ur deck and get used to the boardsliding. Then wen u can do that easy, try on a rail slowly.
