That right there might not be the best tire slide ever but it gives you the right idea.
Essentially what I did was came up over it a little bit faster than I would to air up
over it and I kicked my back wheel up over the coping just enough to get it up over that
lip and then what you want to do is once your back tire is over the coping and kind of sliding
a little bit you want to pull back in and it is a little difficult because you can't
pull back in off your front wheel if you're doing it right because your front wheel should
still be off in the middle of nowhere. Instead it is kind of like doing a bunny hop where
you pull up and push forward with your arms and tuck it in and what that does is it pulls
your back tire up over the coping and it allows you to get a nice smooth roll in. From there
it takes a little bit of time. I find that it is easier to learn or to do in general
on a wider quarter pipe where you can come in at an angle because it allows you more
distance that you can slide before you have to drop back in. I am kind of limited on this
particular quarter pipe set up because you don't have a lot of angle to come up and really
push the slide far. If you can find a nice five foot quarter pipe that is not too steep
and not too long, that's going to be the perfect obstacle to learn it on and then once you
have figured it out you can take it to all sorts of different obstacles.
