Fakie Boardslide                            (F/S)

A fakie boardslide is often thought of as a fake lipslide but isn't.  Why did they do it this way, no idea. Fakie boardslide is when you're moving fakie with the rail on your frontside.  You pop your fakie ollie while jumping forward and whip the front truck over the rail so you are going backward. 1.  Gain speed fakie and going parallel with the rail that you are going to grind. 2.  Pop a fakie ollie and jump forward so you are over the rail. 3.  Twist your feet then upper body frontside so you are on the rail sliding backward. 4. Keep your weight centered over your board and distributed evenly through your legs. 5. Watch for the end of the rail either through your legs or looking over your shoulder.  Then turn back to fakie or to regular.                           Back to Trick tips.                                     Back to HQ.
