This lesson in the Master Class Series takes us to our first trick in the Grinds and Slides category of maneuvers.
Lets get to it.
Our suggestion for your first slide technique is the Backside Boardslide . The Backside Boardslide is a fairly easy trick and is definitely the most simple of the slide tricks. As you advance in your slides and grinds you will be able to use the Backside Boardslide as a measurement of different surfaces and obstacles before you try more difficult or advanced maneuvers on these same objects. It s a good starting point to give you a feel for how your particular deck slides on various surfaces and textures. It will let you check the slide velocity and texture, so use this trick to check the slide surface before you try other more difficult slide and grinds.
