Yeah I keep mine back foot on the tail just for the pop then move it towards the bolts for the slide, I start my front foot right behind the front bolts like 2 or 3 inches behind then land in right over them...Be sure to approach parrelel to the rail or whatever it is your sliding, then in air just turn 90 degrees to make the slide...Anymore help just ask here or PM me.

Keep your feet glued to those bolts and lean slightly backward. For boardslides I like to use a lot of wax, because I find it easy to orphan your board go flying and eat s#it on an unwaxed ledge.

when ollieing, have your front foot just behind the front bolts, then just ollie and turn 90 degrees and the rest is just instinct

Make sure your going pretty fast cause when you hit that rail you need to be ready for speed, none of this aproach the rail at 5 mph cause your afriad you just gotta do it Skate fast hit the rail it will be much easier that way.
