Backside Lipslide

Category
Obstacle
Difficulty
Intermediate
Points
34

Backside lipslide uses a heelside approach with the tail crossing over the feature first, leaving your back facing the line.

Use a clean ollie or pop to clear the tail, land flat, and keep the handle close to stop over-rotation. Keep weight centered over the feature.

Progression note: try it only after backside boardslides and basic lipslides are reliable on safer features.
