01 Ride up to the obstacle with your back foot on the tail and your front foot on the nose of your board. Approach the obstacle at about a 90-degree angle.

02 As you make contact with the curb, lighten the weight off your back foot (but keep it on the board) and shift the majority or your weight to the nose of your board.

03 As you do this twist your back foot (rotating your board slightly) in the direction of the slide to lock your board into the curb at 90-degrees. This may take practice but once you have mastered the technique you’ll be able to perform a smooth slide. All of your wheels should be off the ground at this point.

04 The sliding part if tricky to master as there are so many factors involved, such as how waxed the obstacle is the speed you are travelling and the angle you hit the obstacle. In your slide the more weight on your toe edge, the faster you’ll go (with more chance of the board shooting out) and the more weight on the heel edge, the slower (with more chance of stopping abruptly). So be aware it takes time to get the balance right.

06 You should aim to ride out of
this trick fakie as it’s difficult
getting back to normal position
on a low obstacle.
