What this video teaches

Josh from SK8TERSALLTHEWAY demonstrates the coffin on a longboard (a Sector 9) and recommends it as an easy, fun first trick for longboard beginners at any speed. His only real technical cue is to use the curve of the board: place one hand at each end of the concave, slide your feet out, lie down, and then use your hands to push back up. He also notes the trick goes by several names, including the mummy and the casket.
