It's all compressing and shoulders. Compress yourself down and wind your shoulders up. Then between 180 and 270, your body will catch up to your shoulders so push your front foot down, like you're scooping your board around. You might land around 270-300, but if you're doing this, you should have enough momentum in your arms and body to powerslide the rest of the way. I usually do them the powerslide way, but once in a blue moon I'll get one that I land really close to 360.

I'm trying fs tailslides now but I can't get my body straight. If I don't stuck, I slide for 3 feet and come off regular.

I can't do it to fakie because my upper body doesn't move and my weight isn't on the tail.

Did somebody had the same problem and does anyone has a tip for me?

As embarrassing as this is to ask, I need help staying above my board.

Its basically all mental, but since I rolled my ankle pretty rad-ly, I haven't able to land a flip trick very clean.

It's been about two weeks since I stepped back on my board, and I don't want this "not landing tricks" business to continue.

If anyone has any tips or suggestions, besides "stop being a pussy" or something to that effect, they would be greatly appreciskated.

Backside boneless on tranny?

I found when I was learning them, I was trying to extend them to far, making it really hard to get the board back under me. Basically what you want to do, is roll up like you're just going to pop up onto the deck. Then make sure to turn all the way around. It's easy to let yourself just turn 90 degrees. This wont be a problem later, but for learning you'll want to do the full 180. Then grab and think of it like you're doing a melon grab, try to keep the board more under you, as opposed to kicking out behind you for the style points. Then really all it is is hopping back on. I learned em to tail first, and that sort of fucked with me taking them straight in at first. Once you've got it up on the coping, eye your landing, jump and get that shit back under your feet.

Also, if you're having trouble getting it back under you, try grabbing different spots. I know some guys kind of nosegrab it, where as I grab backside.
Because you can't kill and idea, and we will not be ruled!

Thanks a lot that's really helpful. I'll probably try them to tail and just see where it goes from there, jumping straight back in seems really gnarly and scary. And yeah I think grabbing it backside is more proper than grabbing the nose. Either way I just think they look really cool, can't wait to try them now. Thanks again.

You have any tips for the foot placement? I ride some soft wheels and have a hard time powersliding tricks so I gotta get like the full rotation.

Best advice I can give is back foot toes right in the middle of the tail and front foot behind all 4 of the front bolts. If you're not able to powerslide at all, I'd say have the inside of your foot around the middle of the board. I always put the toes of my front foot flush with the (toe) side of my board. And just pop super hard.

This one is all about how you shift your weight during the trick. I'm also assuming you're trying this on a box/ledge. When you front board you'll naturally be hanging more off the side of the box, so once you start to swing around and lock in the truck of your nose, sort of use that to pull yourself up on top of the box, then lock in that back truck and grind. Maybe try front board to switch 5-0 to help figure out how to get that truck locked in.

Gold.


This sucks to admit but I can't bs 50 a ledge, never really practiced them.. got really close today though, and almost did a bs smith by accident.  Finally realized you have to angle your front foot way to the side to guide the board.

If it makes any sense, I kinda fall back into it. Like you need to work on that flick for mad long cause that's the key but after you got the flick you kinda pop backwards into it.

the one thing i never figured out until now about that trick is that your flick foot you don't put too far back.  I was always putting it like half way which is way too far back....still can't do them but i can flick them better...

keep your back foot on the middle of the tail and not on a treflip stance. Frontfoot right under the front bolts.

it shouldnt feel too much like a back board. ollie higher than usual for a back board and lean way over to the right (if ur regular) and lean back. almost over exaggerate how much you lean to the right and back. and kinda pop out to stop it from primo'ing. for frontside its the same is guess just opposite of everything for b/s.

Fakie full cab flip! I can flip it, i can rotate it but when i try to land it i slip out. I feel super unconformable  once i get the full rotation and the catch. Its like my feet feel too close together and im landing awkwardly. Land and SLIP and the board shoots out. Do i need to focus more on keeping my feet kind of spread out or just flow with it and relax : /

jamal smith is my new favorite skater, thank you for introducing me to that video.

i think a good trick tip is, go fast, pop hard and jump high.

this trick tip helped me in a dark time in my life
how to 360 flip

i spent at least an entire months worth of time total trying to figure them out for myself in the first couple years of skating. then that trick tip came out and i went outside and could do them every try. that back foot thing was the key
