Like turning them back forward?
I focus on keeping my feet flat and as soon as I pop I turn my legs to the halfway point so that I have enough time to push them back.

What about wallrides on walls that don't have a bank going up to them? I tried them today and couldn't come off.

I've had alot of problems with them wallrides too, i can get into em now but i lose all momentum and land primo.

I have a different problem with front tails.  I can get on them and slide easily, but its only for a few inches.  I go to fakie so quick.  Anyone have any tips on how to slide them longer?


I was doing that for a long time, till one of my friends that can do them good was like "put all your weight on the tail". Its really strange sometimes how the most obvious piece of advice works

for switch heels just remember to curl your toes with your flick foot... especially when you go really fast, this helps the flick catch just right

i had the exact same problem but i figured it out the other day. when i roll up i already lean on my back foot. right when you pop your body is already sort of over the ledge, leaning on the back foot. its weird to explain but it makes me feel like im going into a front lipslide, like i'm too far over the ledge. but then when i pop the tailslide im above it and sliding properly. feels so good..no i can finally decide whether i want to go to fakie or not. before it was just like whatever.

keep your body parallel to the board and skate really fast. you'll land on it, cause if you don't, you'll eat shit.

well for nose mannys have your foot kinda high up. when you get into it make sure you back foot is not on your tail or you will bring it down. and make sure you get in it straight cuz you will keep puttin them down if not so have your foot flat on the nose. leaning forward is the most important part of the trick so make sure you do that. and for back nose grind just snap above the ledge and hold it.

scoop more. don't even worry about your front foot. you might want to actually hang your back foot off a little and just power it. also don't lean forward.

haa someone should help me step-by-step with wallrides..

Don't hit the wall straight on and try to go straight up and down.  Hit it at an angle and travel sideways a little.  When you do it face your back to the wall.  When you hit your peak and start to come down, ride all on your back wheels.  It's too hard to try and ride all 4 wheels.  Scrap you tail on the wall if you have too when coming down.

Frick tranny seems way harder for me to do them. 
Anyway go parallel to the ledge or object.
Ollie up and then push you ollie forward a little.
Make sure your tail is over the ledge before you turn your board 90 degrees.
When you slide keep you shoulders parallel to the ledge.  This is key. If your shoulders turn too much you'll come off fakie.
Hope that helps.

when i learnt nollie heels i always tried flipping the board straight away, which lead to them always being mobbed or not flipping properly. i then got told to pop the nollie and flip off for the heelflip as the nollie begins to reach its peak (as well as staying straight over the board). hopefully that can help a bit.

someone help with nollie bs noseslide, i can never get them.

once you have nolie half-cabs go at the ledge at a slight angle pop and twist a little and lean slightly back or you will stick

for nollie/sw heels-
 your pop foot should be straight (i see a lot of people point thier feet, but this leaves you with less pop and more mob possibility i think) with your pressure on the tip of your foot on the heel side. keeping it straight across the board (also, try not to curve this foot either) curl your flick foot's toes over the edge of the board and as soon as you hear the snap of the nose flick that foot straight at the nose. your ankle should roll right up to the tip and flick it out. the rest is just getting the catch/land part down which shoudlnt be too bad.. as far as how close to put your feet, the trick is to put it low enough to get good pop, but high enough so you can go fast and level it out. i find it to be the best like an inch behind the bolts, but you'll see when you try it where you feel comfortable. i really hope this helps for these, cos they are the two best tricks ever once you get em working, so get ready to have a blast once this lil learning period is over. 

not so great at these, but for nollie noseslides always remember to keep your shoulders straight! such a little aspect but it helps solve the problem of locking in and just stopping (my problem forever, i used to feel stupid even trying them).. you keep em straight and you'll have to worry about sliding too much if anything, which is always better. it took me forever to figure out nollie crooks (i feel like im the only one who had a really rough time with this!) and in the process figured that little tip out about the noseslides. i hope that helps you out a little


this all prolly makes no sense, i think its pretty hard to type how to do a trick and have it come out coherant haha.. but hey hopefully it helps.
