1. Begin by finding an
obstacle that's the right height for you.
2. Facing the obstacle,
ride parallel to it as fast as you feel comfortablelike you would
if you were going to do a frontside 50-50. (Remember: the faster
you go, the better it looksbut you also fall harder.)
3. Ollie like you're going
to do a backside 180, but only turn the lower half of your body
90 degrees. (This is important: keep your shoulders parallel to
the ledge.) When you're over the ledge, push your board down into
the railslide position.
4. While sliding, try to
keep your weight centered. (It helps to look at the griptape between
your feet.)
5. When you reach the end
of the ledge, unweight yourself, turning the lower half of your
body back to its original position, and ride away.
