Frontside Tailslide - How to Lock in Energy-Efficiently

Commenting for the algorithm because it should be getting 100k views imo

You are a wonderful person. Your scientific approach to analyzing tricks is a long overdue and invaluable contribution to skateboarding. I was always able to noseslide well, but struggled with tailslides. Your work here is giving me the encouragement to try again.

I NEEDED THIS CHANNEL 25 YEARS AGO. my god. kids these days have NO IDEAD how good they have it.

I would love to see a series where you analyze tricks (famous or from pro skaters) and break it down in a similar fashion to this format

I'm happy you're getting the appreciation you deserve in the comments. Your approach to teaching skateboarding reminds me of my time as a golf instructor. Thank you for providing the mechanics in such a clear concise way.

What is your secret to the FS Tailslide? Please post your comment here!

this is very helpful! i was able to roll my ankle on this but that is improvement tips thanks to you!

Wow the insight in this video is phenomenal! Couldn’t ever hold tailslides, excited to give these ideas a try soon!

This is the best tutorials! I finally get what was wrong with my tailslide attemps. Thank you

the animations are getting better and better keep up the good work!!!

Beyond impressed with this in-depth explanation! Nice video!

Thank you man ! Very clear instructions !!

Nice vid. One thing that helped me out with the actual slide on FS tails, it once I lock in put more weight on my heel than the toes of the back foot. It really helps the slide and not sticking.

You are so detailed.WOW!!

What an amazing visualization!

this content it’s amazing bro, keep the good job on

Such great ideas on this channel. I feel like a lot of skaters can struggle for longer than they need to because typical vague advice helps some people more than others. Using more precise language could give more skaters the ideas needed to land a new trick, get more consistent with their current tricks, skate with healthier posture, skate more stylishly. Not to be overdramatic but this is important work you're doing. I'd love to see you or someone strap some force sensors, accelerometers to some boards, shoes, etc. and examine these ideas truly scientifically.

amazing trick tip video. effectively explained my common fs tail problems.

Great video!!! You deserve more support!

This deserves 1m views. Thank you
