[dcskater17931]

good and bad news...

good: i can darkslide on a 7 foot rail

bad:i dont know how to land them! (how to flip your board right side up)

[Flipstreetskate]

me either, why dont you go ask rodney?

[snakeyes17]

i thought you said 7 stair rail
is it foot high or long?
and i have no clue because i have never tried one

[AlmostJeff]

UUUhhhhh im pretty sure its 7 feet long haha the highest ollie is less than 5 feet high sorry that was mean

[grimreaper65]

^ could of went off a ramp

and uh, i can't do these but mave just before you get to the end of the rail, flip your foot under and casper flip? maybe? could work i guess? or maybe, wait until you're in the air and then kick your heels off the toe rail of the board (heelflip style)? maybe?

[Flipstreetskate]

alright ill help you out man, just because i have recently started darksliding. what my theory is is that when you try to get out of the trick, since one foot is on the tail hanging over the edge of the ledge/rail, you sorta do a "pop" and "flip" with your other foot, and since there is no concave, it might only go half way around, thus putting the griptape back under your feet.

[snakeyes17]

or you could just watch a lot of darkslides by mr mullen

[jeffyzai]

i watched mullen do it and he slams one side of the board down and it does sort of a vertical flip back to griptape side up. iono how that works since i can't do them, but i hope that helped. it probably didnt.

I have the Globe Opinion dvd and in one darkslide he body varialed out

[duhmini]

i can get into em but i cant land em eather

[BakerStencil]

Man I want some footage of you guys "DarkSliding" Get on it cause I don't know if I can believe you.

[Flipstreetskate]

i cant get into it every time yet, but i dont practice it all that much. ill work on and and look around for some tapes and try my best to get one up. i mean have i lied to you guys before?

[snakeyes17]

nope...i believe you

[independent man]

flipstreet is right on fliping it over by the edge that is how i land mine or use to before i came here to military school bujt ill do it agian when i get out

[atticus]

I can do them pretty well. Many people dont' believe me.. that's okay. I don't do them a lot, cause it messes up my grip. But when you land, don't force it off the ledge. just give one side a light step... no don't even do that. Just jump off your board but have the foot on the side that you're landing just tap it lightly, and it'll fall over for you to land.

ok i can slide dark-slides on mini ramps then go back in so heres how to do it:
1:when the board is up-side down put your foot in the foword most coner of the tail, then do a sorta half imposable scoop and it should do a 90 spin half imposable, and if you do land it go back and get it down a sloped rail on film it looks so cool on slopes.
2:lern primo slides.
3: pull a sick darkslide to prime slide out and out do rodny.
