"Axle stalls" on a bank with a tape coping

After doing my first controlled Slash Grind a week ago, some of my fear of the coping has gone away. The thing that "unlocked" slash grinds for me was to look at the board longer, so I can actually see the nose of the board (and more) go over the coping. I'm hoping that looking at the board longer might unlock the Axle Stall as well. So I went to my local skatepark and practiced "axle stalls" on a bank with a tape coping :)
My main focus was actually to try to "lean back" during the stall to put more weight on the heel side of the board. I sometimes did something that felt good, but I didn't really crack the code.

Please let me know when you crack the code. Axle stalls can be so variable. On minute you’ll cross lock every attempt and then something changes and every attempt goes to feeble. I’ve been working on them for 2 years and I still don’t have them on lock. Getting a consistent feel for that back wheel on the coping has been the challenge. You mentioned how you’re more comfortable watching the board go over the coping on your slash grinds. I don’t think you want to look directly at the board on these. You want to look towards where your front axle will hit the coping. I hope you have less of a battle than I have had with them. Keep up the good and hard work!!!

Wow, two year long battle. Seems like I have a lot to go through :-D Good point about looking where the front axle will hit the coping. I actually noticed this during my session. But the struggle for me is to wait long enough before turning, and here it seems to help - for me - to watch the nose of the board go over the coping. It allows me to roll further up the bank before turning. That in turn allows the back wheels to get closer to the coping and finally over the coping as I turn.
