For boardslides:

Flat base, weight in the direction of travel.

Sounds easy easy enough, doesn’t it? wink

Got my first boardslides on a down rail today. I had boardslides pretty much on lock on boxes but was still super scared of rails. Started with a flat rail today and turned out okay then there was a down rail with a mini gap onto it so I gave it a crack and by the end of the day I got a decent one, pretty stoked!

Should get some video up in the next week or 2!

thanks guys! am super stoked but want to push harder, seeing all the guys that slay the park gives me mad drive/desire to get better.

anyway this was from 2nd weekend at perisher, park was still just in the corner of fv, got them a bit more comfortable now, still trying to push to lock them on rails!  metal

Great work, tracvks!

To take that one step further, try continuing the rotation, and come off switch.

To do this, keep pushing your right arm, shoulder, and hips towards the end of the box. This should help you continue the rotation to come off switch, nice and smooth.
