📈 Detailed Boardslide Execution
Loading...
Approach
Approach the rail or ledge at a slight angle, with enough speed to slide.
Ollie and Turn
Ollie high enough to get over the obstacle and turn your body 90 degrees to land with the board across the rail.
Slide
Keep your weight centered over the board and your knees bent as you slide. Look towards the end of the rail.
Land
As you reach the end of the rail, turn your body back to the regular stance and land on all four wheels.
Golden Tip!
Start on a low, flat bar or a waxed curb. Wax the obstacle well to make sliding easier.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
Sticking on the rail: Not enough speed or wax.
Slipping out: Your weight might be too far on your heels or toes. Stay centered.
Not getting onto the rail: You need to ollie higher and commit.
