come at about the same angle as you would for a nose slide...when you get on the ledge, keep your weight on the tail, it sounds stupid, but i have to actually think about it or i just keep my weight centered sometimes and i end up just sliding off of my tail. ya' know wa' i mean?

Try learning how to get them locked in on a curb and then try them on the coping
