f/s tailslide help

[Shams Skater]

Here's the thing......i can get into the trick fine......its just i cant control the slide and i end up just getting turned around (if you know what i mean)
Its like I do a 180 but i do a tailslide in the middle of it.....
If u dont understand just ask me a question.....if you're willing to help

i cant do these but try leaning back to let it slide and make sure u lock it in. thats all I got, but unless u have Muskas number, I cant help you anymore

i can do them very well. just put 80% of your weight on your tail foot (back foot) and 20% on your front foot. when i first started learning them i had the same problem so yes i kno wut you mean.

[evilcheese00]

turn your shoulders so your upper body is facing the direction you are sliding (like on a f/s boardslide) and balance with your arms

[Shams Skater]

Ok thanks... but how do i stop myself from spinning around, will that contribution of weight do it??

[evilcheese00]

to an extent you must keep your weight centered over the board and to NOT! lean in but satnd up tall turn those shoulders and you should be okay.

[Shams Skater]

one other thing........should i be parallell or come up to the box at an angle??

[evilcheese00]

The samllest of angles is my style but you said you can already ge into them so just keep doing whats easiest for you.

[Shams Skater]

to do a f/s tailslide.........first of all you have to be balanced, if your going to fall like u were saying. if your always falling backwards lean forward and do the opposite if your falling forwards . if you just falling both ways its because your not putting enough weigh on the foot that closest to the rail send a message back if u want

[KickTheFlip]

muska comes in at like a 90 degree angle but they look sweet and stylish

[FREELOVE88]

hang your front toes off slightly as if you were going to do a fs 180 or heelflip. thats how i learned but now i don't need to do that cause i got used to doing it so much.

i had the same prob a week ago. my friends told me to really lock in hard in that ledge and ollie high. well tha worked for coming in the slide but it ain't sliding. just go fast!! don't be scared u won't fall (unless u have handicap)and when ur locked in you will do fine, but u better get that pressure on that back foot, also turn ur shoulders.
PieceOfCake trick

lean back a bit to force the slide. but not too much so you lose your balance.
