PRACTICING BOARDSLIDES

#skateboarding #tricktips After almost two years of covering anything BUT this trick, i'm finally covering boardslides. Stay tuned for the frontside boardslide coming soon.

[@robstockman9857]

It's been 20 plus years since I've rode! Now I'm skating with my grandkids!! Very informative video! Thnx Bro

[@jaquan6702]

Wow that’s amazing dude, it’s never too late to skate! ;)

[@josephcampbell4708]

@@jaquan6702 yeea man love it

[@omnisrk]

What helped me was just balancing the board on the rail by itself, then jumping on the board and sliding until I came off. Then adding the Ollie into it.

[@naqi_zariz]

Yup, that can really helps you build confidence and getting used to the slide since this is probably gonna be your first slide trick

[@jondart5046]

Best trick tip videos on here with so much info. Most just say “pop, flick, roll away bolts.” - so helpful 😂.

[@SKATEHACKS]

JuSt Don’T bE a SiSSy and watch PrOs Do It Bro, LaNd BoltS🤪😂

[@lurkerlew2136]

Ive had boardslides for 15 years but I still peep your vids for the therapeutic entertainment value, so thanks

[@sirjustis]

Practicing on parking blocks has helped me get used to the movements.

[@yannickvangansbeek6103]

Thank you so much, I wanned to try to boardslide at my local skatepark, now I'm definitly going for it!

[@landshark5888]

your channel has helped me with my skateboarding so much.. Thanks for sharing the knowledge

[@h_a_g_zv_i_r_t_u_a_l17]

leaning aspect is important. Moderate speed, and pushing/leaning forward just slightly can help a lot to push you a long, for longer sliding. After you get your low slow slides, you can add speed to attempting longer slides. Even if you don't make it all the way, or slide out, it's great for slide practice how it feels. Practing bailing each time as you learn. Shoulders control bringing it back straight, or to fakie like he says. Find the sweet spot between speed, and leaning forward.

[@TheModernSkater]

yup then chill and slide!!!! almost 27' is my longest wbu?

[@notnorthkai]

Gonna see if I can apply this to my training tomorrow. Update: It worked! I landed a couple consecutively today after a week or so of practicing. 1:23-1:28 as well as 2:24-2:33 helped the process a lot.

[@keithelliott2296]

How's the skating going?

[@powerswish]

Lipslides on flatbars please! I get this mental block where I either end up smithing or go too far over and lock my front trucks. Yet somehow I have less trouble lipsliding a waxed ledge.

[@timowo6541]

Very helpful! 😊

[@cornellbobby]

I remember my first boardslide attempt. Very painful.

[@nyeoncolors6949]

I almost broke my spine like that I haven’t boardslided since I have no motivation after that

[@TheModernSkater]

hahah relatable!!

[@einnorw]

Any tips for mental battles?

[@gromitmitten7803]

Any chance you can do a hack on frontside lipslides? Or any tips on those general? Would greatly appreciate it 🙏

[@HerNick07]

So nice. I'm still scared to approach a rail this height. Just gotta commit I guess? Most of the time, all there is left is confidence in yourself right?. Nice video and clean boardslides

[@TrueRockDude]

Just relearning these after healing my ankle. Thanks

[@faithlewis1661]

Phillip Clemens same!

[@chaosdesigner123]

So much thx dudo

[@billymullins1357]

I would like to add put your weight on your toes rather than your heels, and to lean slightly forward with bent knees. That's what works for me.

[@veeanon2238]

Got my board slides down today! I tried on a parking block. Hard part is turning out. But I practiced just doing a stall then went for it.

[@TheModernSkater]

ya thats what I started on too!! then I worked up to 27' thats my longest so far. It's on our channel check it out

[@noeledeuilreinette5562]

I watched that really good video while watching karate kid

[@adeelazcano4308]

What’s a good size ledge?

[@edwintan6686]

So Nice

[@TheModernSkater]

[@MrCiceropinto]

[@epiclyskateredhawk2290]

I always end up coming out 180 or when I land bak in the ground my board is still sideways lik I'm still trying to board slide

[@williamboucher8448]

Got my first one today!😁

[@arminr1234]

Nice dude

[@Michael-wc2ll]

[@Imnotlucki100]

[@outofbody4788]

[@owengalway]

I did my first board slide today. And caveman darkslide

[@arminr1234]

Nice dude

[@sahajpatel9003]

The rome joke lol

[@paulgiethlen741]

What is your trousers

[@leojohnson619]

What about the approach? At an angle or parallel to the rail?

[@soogoi8052]

Leo Johnson id say ride up to up about 45° but i think mainly it’s preference but don’t ride up to it more than 45° i hope this helps bro :)

[@daffyduckling6958]

Definitely more parallel than angled but not too close to the rail. You don't want to smack the rail with your wheels trying to get on top of it because you'll fall on the rail and it'll hurt really badly.

[@pere_whaunna__7834]

I loves boardslides but i cant seem to get out of them... i have balance and can slide almost forever but how do i get out of one??? I always. Cant land it beccause i cant move my body when i land to ride away... plzz help

[@Unfriggginbelievable]

i can treflip and nose grind and do other harder things, but i still can't boardslide in my 9 months of skating, its so scary to me and ive fallen on my back a few times. What should i know in order to do it?

[@connorsmith9365]

maybe these things I tried might help. Just do the end of the rail, and try it on a ledge first. Try adding rails to your deck to get a consistent slide. Number 1, always lean forward vs leaning backward and avoid going super slow, it will be harder to balance going slow.

[@Unfriggginbelievable]

@@connorsmith9365 ill keep that in mind, trying ledges first seem easier too. thanks man.

[@larzostrander2233]

What happened to your other channel?

[@claytonjackson5709]

Yo what park is this?

[@hxcrules361]

Live Oak Texas. Suburb of San Antonio.

[@claysoggyfries]

Too scary

[@severelyunderrated1057]

I practice boardslide on a very cilindrical rail That has no wax

[@severelyunderrated1057]

They told me to go very fast So that i can land it

[@sumetaltp]

i cant get out of boardslides, slide the whole rail get out sideways. like turning to board back

[@sumetaltp]

i know its in your shoulders but

[@BeeSaucySkateboarding]

Use your whole body bro and just start turning a second before u pop off

[@ianvictory8469]

I clicked 40 secs in right away and it was the exact same shot! So strange.

[@Raw.foo0]

What brand chinos do you wear bro? 🔥

[@SKATEHACKS]

Dockers

[@joshua0333]

I just keep falling backwards on my back and that shit sucks
