What this video teaches

SKATEDELUXE frames the lipslide by contrast with the boardslide: it looks the same, except you lift the back truck over the rail instead of the front truck. Approach almost parallel to the rail with the feet in ollie position, ollie up, and once the board is above the rail turn the hips and board through a backside 90 to lock in with the middle of the board. Their balance rule is feet over the bolts and body weight centered so you do not slip out, and they are specific that only the hips turn into the slide while the shoulders stay straight, looking in the direction of travel.

Key tips

  • The difference from a boardslide is that the back truck goes over the rail, not the front truck
  • Approach almost parallel to the rail with the feet in ollie position
  • Ollie first, and only once the board is above the rail turn the hips and board backside 90 degrees
  • Lock in with the middle of the board on the rail, feet over the bolts, weight centered so you do not slip out
  • Turn only the hips into the slide and keep the shoulders straight, looking where you are sliding
  • To exit, move the hips back and roll away straight
