Coffin

The coffin is consistently presented as an easy, fun downhill trick rather than a technical one, and every coach describes the same shape: get low, slide your feet out, and lie flat along the board while it rolls. Ron Allen is the only one who treats it as a real trick with a standard, insisting you get fully horizontal, hold the prayer position with your hands, and then actually recover to a standing roll away. His recovery is the most useful detail across all three: front foot onto the front of the board, other foot to the middle, hand on the tail taking your weight, then push yourself up. SK8TERSALLTHEWAY adds the practical hand placement, using the curve at each end of the board to lower yourself and push back up, and notes the trick is also called the mummy or the casket. Goon Squad is a demonstration only. The shared safety advice is to start on a mellow hill, keep hands and fingers up off the ground, and tuck in loose clothing.

• →To recover, step the front foot onto the front of the board, bring the other foot to the middle, put your hand on the tail, and push up
