Frontside Lipslide

Frontside lipslide uses a toeside approach with the tail crossing over the feature first, leaving your chest facing the line.
Enter with enough pop to clear the tail, settle onto a flat base, and keep hips over the feature. Stay patient before unwinding to exit.
Progression note: learn frontside boardslides and controlled 90-degree feature entries first. Missed tail clearance can catch hard.
