Backside Boardslide

A backside boardslide means approaching the box from the heelside, ollieing on, and rotating 90 degrees so the board is perpendicular to the feature. You slide across with the box between your bindings. This is the classic first board trick beyond 50/50.

Key tips

• Approach with enough speed to clear the full box
• Ollie and rotate together — don't try to rotate once you're on the box
• Keep your weight centered over the box
• Look at the end of the box to stay balanced
• Ride off the end and rotate back to forward
