These are intense, all I have to say.

I tried these for a while, I gave up so fast. Not ready for them yet, good luck though.

If you can blunt, pretend you're going to front blunt except over the rail. Keep your board flat though. If you haven't, learn back lips, once you get those, just do the backside and lean back further than you would on lips. Make your you stay straight on top of the tail though, or else you will fall.

Ah, I just learned these.

For me, I don't do them like back 180s at all. Learn back lips, which help you get into them, and front tails, which help to get you used to the slide. Then, pop an ollie, and thrust your legs sort of like a backside 180, but not as far. Lean onto the rail/ledge/whatevercanslide, and just stay balanced, which takes practice. Next, figure out whether you're coming out fakie or not. I find fakie to be easier, but whatever, its opinion. Popping really small power ollies out adds style points, so try that.

Good luck, you'll need it.

I'm not attempting them on rails anytime soon China but thanks.
And I'm gonna spend most of today practicing them. Hopefully I sohuld be able to get into them today if not getting out or sliding. Thanks.

I think of them like a sorta noseslide, but backwards then kinda Ollie then pivot then when I land on the Ledge, push the ball of my foot back. I hit my head a while back, now I'm shit scared of them. I did this kinda Nollie pivot onto front tail to learn/get used to them

wouldn't it be like if you can back tail, think of doing a blunt as just doing an ollie over the rail to back tail? but whatever.

learning a back lip helps. you basically just have to ollie over, or get on top of the obstacle, and then slide. i can't really do them, that's just how i get into mine.

Yes you can learn blunts that way, I don't see what your point is

[PopwarPunk]

I think he's saying that blunts are harder, so it's like, "Well if you can drive stick and you wanna learn and automatic..."
