Whats the easiest grind or slide

[Element_2004]

Hey i got a square rail a week ago and i was wondering what the easiest grind or slide was...i need info on how to do the trick too.

[evilcheese00]

b/s boardslide- roll up at a modrate speed parallel to the rail, ollie turn 90 degree's frontside (to your left if your regular or to your right if your goofy) land with the middle of your board on the centre on the rail keep your weight over the top of the slide when you reach the end of the rail use your back foot to strighten your board out again and ride away.

And the Easiest Grind would be the 50-50 Grind...Roll up to Object Parrelel to it Olie shift our weight over the object and land both trucks on it, Skate fast when you do it and you should be able to grind it through.

ok thanks...i tried the boardslide and i had a couple good ones but then i got on the rail wrong and the board snaped.

[skatehelp]

in an edition of sidewalk there was a guy from kill-city and he was doing what looked like a bs boardslide but it said fs boardslide? and evilcheese is saying that for a bs boardslide you go up to the rail ollie and turn frontside then land?????? please help im confused??????!!!!!

i know how you feel dude. what is the diffrence between a lipslide and a board slide!??!??!?!?!!? i was at the skate park teh other day and my friend said "nice front board dude" tehn some high scholl dude sed "that was a lipslide" and im "what ever they look the same to me"

Lipside and a boardslide are different by the way you position the board on the rail.

[evilcheese00]

ok, clear this up. A lipslide is when your back trucks go over the rail first and a boardslide is when the front trucks go over first. As for f/s and b/s boardslides ignore weather your turning b/s or f/s that dont really matter. a b/s boardslide is when you are facing the way you are slideing and a f/s boardslide is when you have your back to the way you are sliding.

I'd say b/s noseslides are easier than boardslides, dude, try those, i learned them in like a day.

...As for the boardslide/ lipslide clarification

lipslide: www.skateboard-city.com/lipslide_fs.php

boardslide: www.skateboard-city.com/boardslide.php

Notice how you place your back foot over the rail, then slide? for instance if you came frontside for a lipslide, you'd put your truck over the bar and slide like a bs board

Note:--- I saw some guy do a switch lip, sick!

[tryhard_skater]

yep cheese and grim cleared all that up well. well done. my mate learnt switch lip before reg lip cuz he was used to putting his front footover first

[atticus]

Noseslides aren't very hard too. If you're starting on curbs and whatnot, you dont' have to ollie

[el_whiteboy8888]

nose/tail slides are not in my reach. when i attempt eaither i A.stop B. front/back truck pops over into a board or lip C. bail hard
gusse it just a product of my "no style style" but any suggestions?
P.S. eastist slide for me-slide that involves the middel of the board becuase i will not digniiy them with the right name(s). easiset grind-feeble

[atticus]

feeble? that's hard to say. you have to keep your front truck in place wihle keeping balance

[Ghetto_gravy]

feebles arent easy u fool....not compared to 50 50s

[el_whiteboy8888]

they are if its a bad ledge. then you just lean in. i gusse im just diffrent

[Ghetto_gravy]

try them on rails its a different story...

[FlowBoi]

Point made. very hard way different.

[Flipstreetskate]

for my side of the answer the easiest slide for me was the backside boardslide. easy as pie. now i dont do much grinding seeing as all i have at my disposal is a round rail, which makes grinds more difficult. as weird as it sounds tho, in all my trying grinds, i find salad grinds to be very easy. i get into them more consistently than any others.

[Element_2004]

i can do b/s boardslides but most of the time i slide a little and then the board flys out from under me. I think i need to lean foward more

[el_whiteboy8888]

^ careful thogh. i tryed that, leaned forward too much and smashed my face into the bench

a lip slid is when you do a 180 reverse onto the rail and do a board slid like that
