Backside Lipslide

Backside Lipslide

1) Put in your favorite ACDC tape to pump up the session. 2) Don't try this trick until you have first learned to do backside 50-50's, frontside boardslides, and backside 180's. 3) Approach the ledge or rail like you are about to do a backside 50-50. 4) A Start winding up your shoulders like you do when you do a bakside 180 and as you clear the top of the ledge or rail use the wind-up to turn about 90 degrees into the backside lipslide position. 5) Now slide! The faster you go the further you'll slide but if you are on a rail or a box you need to keep most of your weight on your backfoot to get a good slide. 6) To come out, if on a rail, you just need to turn out like any other boarslide. On a ledge or box, however, you must put pressure on your tail to "pop" off the ledge, especially if it is a ledge with no end.

First get comfortable with ollies and backside ollies. Approach the obstacle going fast, real fast, and almost parallel to the thingy your going to lipslide. Ollie ! ! Enough to get your back wheels over what you are lipsliding. Touch down on the thing you're sliding, keeping your shoulders parallel and your legs in a shifty position, sliding and lookin' sick. As you approach the end of the obstacle, put a little bounce in your knees and come flying off the end as you shift your legs back to parallel.
