You are a wonderful person. Your scientific approach to analyzing tricks is a long overdue and invaluable contribution to skateboarding. I was always able to noseslide well, but struggled with tailslides. Your work here is giving me the encouragement to try again.

[@ohohyeahohyeahohyeah]

I NEEDED THIS CHANNEL 25 YEARS AGO. my god. kids these days have NO IDEAD how good they have it.

[@ryemoh]

I'm happy you're getting the appreciation you deserve in the comments. Your approach to teaching skateboarding reminds me of my time as a golf instructor. Thank you for providing the mechanics in such a clear concise way.

[@BickSnarf]

I would love to see a series where you analyze tricks (famous or from pro skaters) and break it down in a similar fashion to this format

[@whythetrick]

What is your secret to the FS Tailslide? Please post your comment here!

[@jaredlopez-alamilla3113]

back in the day I overcome my FS tails issues by 1st approaching the curb/ledge perdencicular into a FS tailstal to learn how to time my pop and stay level, then try them in motion at smaller and smaller angles .

[@gongvdo]

think like an open shoulder semi 5-0 then focus on the tail!!

[@beanguru6838]

Love the analysis here. My secret to locking in is in the front foot. I pop straight, then turn. After I pop and get air first, I open my front leg to turn the nose, which ends up swinging the tail right onto the ledge 👍

[@MikeRigs-rv6lr]

Nice vid. One thing that helped me out with the actual slide on FS tails, it once I lock in put more weight on my heel than the toes of the back foot. It really helps the slide and not sticking.

[@senseiftw]

This deserves 1m views. Thank you

[@iconic_filmdirectors]

This is the best tutorials! I finally get what was wrong with my tailslide attemps. Thank you

[@burger1113]

I'm surprised you didn't mention keeping the toeside wheel off the ledge or rail by rotating slightly more than 90 degrees when you initially lock it. I feel this lock in angle aspect is one of the most important tip for slide tricks since it minimizes stick.

[@kevinwolff8539]

amazing trick tip video. effectively explained my common fs tail problems.

[@GeorgeAustria]

Such great ideas on this channel. I feel like a lot of skaters can struggle for longer than they need to because typical vague advice helps some people more than others. Using more precise language could give more skaters the ideas needed to land a new trick, get more consistent with their current tricks, skate with healthier posture, skate more stylishly. Not to be overdramatic but this is important work you're doing. I'd love to see you or someone strap some force sensors, accelerometers to some boards, shoes, etc. and examine these ideas truly scientifically.

[@ariekanibalie]

Another top notch video! I've been working on my front tails again and I've found two things really help me: 1: approach with a bit more speed than might feel comfortable at first, as speed seems to allow you to come at a smaller angle and not have to alley oop too much to get the tail on. Depending on the curb, I actually come at a slight angle, but try to be riding almost parallel when I actually pop. 2: this may have to do with what you mention about keeping your weight a bit further back, but I noticed I pre-turn my back knee ever so slightly frontside right before popping, and this too seems to help me get the tail quickly in the right place. Weirdly, front tails were my third ledge trick after front 50s and noseslides back in the day, but I've struggled with them ever since. Gonna refer back to this tutorial as I learn 'em again, keep up the good work my bro!

[@whythetrick]

Hi, thanks for sharing!

[@dreamisover9813]

What an amazing visualization!

[@Drewski777]

Great video!!! You deserve more support!

[@tylrmrtn98]

You are so detailed.WOW!!

[@JamisonMyth]

I tried out your trick analyzer and I must say that is very cool! I'm looking forward to future versions of it. The main issue with the first version of course is the fact that there is not a board in the animations. The other main issue I noticed is that while it seems to track the body movements pretty well, it doesn't show the person moving up and down through space very well. The center of gravity should be able to go up and down on the Y-axis plane, or the floor plane should move up and down relative to the skater - whichever works better.

[@whythetrick]

thanks a lot for the input. everything you said is 100% correct. there are soooo many things to do so it might take some time to improve it. but i assure you i'll make it better. thanks!!

[@Tayisback]

How did you know I was trying to learn this? Also u should make a video on your favorite trick you enjoy doing

[@igetitlitsoicansit2950]

such a good well explained video. good job.. ALso id like to point out something that should be obvious but always isnt. If your foot is too big or on the larger side, you need a wider board. I cant tail slide on anything under 8.5. my heel drags too much. was never able to slide taislides untill i went to 8.5 all of a sudden they started sliding without changing any mechanics on my end

@@whythetrick ちなみに、現状どんな感じですか？

[@plznobarbarism]

to me the big question about tailslides is, when you ollie, you pull your foot towards the nose, but this means dragging the board *away* from the obstacle

[@whythetrick]

So true. Interesting.

[@Corticerra]

When I lock in front side tail while rolling i instantly slip out into fakie and fall on the ledge. Not sure why this happens

[@whythetrick]

perhaps spining too much??

[@flossdaily9]

I'm afraid to keep my weight back because I dont wanna slip out. I keep my weight forward because i want to slide and fall forward instead of fall back which is more dangerous. but this way i have long radius like you highlighted
