HOW TO FRONTSIDE LIPSLIDE THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL
HOW TO FRONTSIDE LIPSLIDE THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL by Braille Skateboarding is a skateboarding tutorial for the Lipslide. Aaron Kyro from Braille covers the frontside lipslide mechanics: popping so the back wheels clear the ledge and land on top, treating the rotation exactly like a frontside 180, and using wax on the top surface where the wheels will slide.
What this video teaches
Aaron Kyro from Braille covers the frontside lipslide mechanics: popping so the back wheels clear the ledge and land on top, treating the rotation exactly like a frontside 180, and using wax on the top surface where the wheels will slide. The tutorial is filmed on a low bench and a rail to show how the trick changes between surfaces, and recommends learning boardslides first to get comfortable with wheels sliding on top of an obstacle.
Key tips
- Back wheels must clear and land on top of the obstacle, not the side; treat it exactly like a frontside 180 onto the ledge
- Wax the top of the ledge heavily where the wheels will slide, otherwise the trick will not move
- Approach from a slight angle and swing your arms to initiate the frontside rotation
- Coming out fakie is easier because momentum is already going that direction; to come out regular, turn shoulders back the opposite way
- Leaning too far back causes wheels to slide out; leaning too far forward sticks the board on top
- Boardslides are the recommended prerequisite because they give you the feel of wheels riding on top of a surface
