How to Snowboard Boardslides ?,..Once you have 50-50’s wired, it’s time to turn the board around 90 degrees and start sliding that bad boy like a real snowboarder... The boardslide is actually easier to come out of fakie, so that’s what we’re doing here.
Snowboarding Trick - Boardslides Tip:
Keep the base flat and your weight centred, and you’ll be fine.
Snowboarding Trick :Boardslide To Fakie
- Approach the box straight on, or slightly from the side on your heel edge – whichever feels more comfortable.
- Pop a small ollie, and turn your whole body 90 degrees to face the rail.
- Land on the box with your board at 90°, body facing forwards, weight centred over the box.
- Look down the rail for the end, and relax your upper body.
- If you turned a full 90° jumping on, as you reach the end your body will naturally want
- to keep turning in the same direction.
- Sliding off the rail, slide the tail around to forwards and ride out fakie.
Coming out of a boardslide forwards or backwards is controlled by your shoulders. Doing a regular boardslide is slightly more difficult: you have to keep your shoulders parallel to the box, turning more at the hip. This will help your board come away forwards again.
