| How to Do a Boardslide on a Skateboard - Associated Content Posted: 18 Aug 2010 01:07 PM PDT Boardslides are often one of the first skateboard slides that people try due to the simplicity of the trick and just how basic they really are. I always like to remind readers to make sure all the necessary protective  Step 1: Position your feet just like you would if you were attempting a 180 ollie. When you first attempt this trick it is important to remember that speed doesn't play as big as a factor than it does in grinds were you slide on your trucks; the actual deck is much more slick and will slide much faster. Approach the rail almost parallel to it and ollie turning your body 90 degrees using mostly just your lower body; your upper body will follow. Step 2: Once you have made a connection with the rail always make sure that your body is leaned forward. Failure to do so can cause the board to slide out from under you sending you backwards on your head. Balance plays a big part in the boardslide. Try to keep the board as level as you can throughout your slide. The thing about boardslides is once your board connects with the rail you have to be committed, because bailing is much more difficult in this trick than in others. Step 3: Once you are approximately a foot away from the end start rotating your body inward eventually turning a full 90 degree angle. If timed properly you will be popping off right at the end for a smooth landing. Balance plays a huge role at the landing as well because if you have bad balance, you will either land sloppy or not at all. Also make sure your feet are covering your bolts when you hit the ground.
