What this video teaches
SKATE HACKS walks through the backside lipslide on rails and flat bars, focusing on the psychological barrier of having to ollie completely over the rail. The tutorial recommends ollieing over the rail without locking in as a confidence drill, and describes the small backside shifty motion needed to land in the lipslide position rather than going completely over the rail.
Key tips
- Pop high enough to clear completely over the rail; this is the main difficulty and the core confidence barrier
- Practice ollieing over the rail without locking in first to confirm you can clear it
- The rotation is a backside shifty, not a full 180; pop and shift into the locked position on the way down
- Know frontside boardslides first because the slide feel when coming out is essentially the same
- On rails, you are fully on top of the rail, not tilted; this requires more commitment than a frontside boardslide where tilting is acceptable
