This is Kyle Hovercamp in Skatechurch in Portland, OR on behalf of Expert Village this is a tutorial
of how to do a boardslide on your skateboard. In this clip we're going to be talking about
how to add style to your boardslides. One way you can add styles is just look comfortable
when you're on the rail and when you're getting off of the rail. Just don't be stiffed, it
takes a while to learn how to do that you have to practice it a lot just to be comfortable
on the rail. Another thing you can do is long boardslides that's pretty stylish if you can
balance your boardslide for long distances on long objects. There's different variations
you can do out of boardslides; one of them is boardslide defakie, you get into the boardslide
and instead of turning 90 degrees so you're facing the way that you were when you got
into the boardslide. Turn 90 degrees the other way so you land fakie you can do a backslide
or frontslide (skating) another variation is shove it out, so you do a boardslide and
your board leaves your feet and does the 90. And you just land the same way you were when
you got into the boardslide. Other variations are you can do tricks into the boardslide
one of them is kick foot boardslide, and what you do is instead of olling onto the boardslide
you do a kick foot, turn it 90 and land on the rails on the center of your board. This
trick is really easy to crack your board on so be good at kick foots before you try to
do a kick foot boardslide, and then you run off 90 like if you run off a regular boardslide
or turn 90 the other way to land fakie.
