How To Frontside Tailslide In Under 3 Minutes

What this video teaches

A fast-paced CCS tutorial focused on shoulder timing and hip alignment for the frontside tailslide. The coach emphasizes opening shoulders before the pop and having hips follow naturally, and gives the useful tip of using the heel-on-box training-wheels position to learn the slide feel before committing fully.

Key tips

• 1Open your shoulders before you even pop as you approach the ledge, then let your hips follow
• 2Keep feet slightly closer together than a normal ollie to help bring the back end up and over
• 3To come out regular (not fakie), stop rotating the shoulders once hips are aligned; to come out fakie, let the rotation continue naturally
• 4Stay on the ball of your foot on the tail, avoid dragging the heel into the ledge
• 5Training-wheel trick: place your heel on the ledge and ball of foot on the tail to learn the slide position safely
