How To Do Backslides On Rails

all right what's up guys we're out here with day four of the rail tutorials that i've been doing today the trick tip that i'm doing is back slides back slides are where you do a normal slide but you lift up your front foot so you're sliding on only your back foot it's a pretty hard trick and i'm honestly not the best at them but i'm gonna do my best to teach you guys today so you should have a smooth and be super confident in your rail slides before you try to do a backslide so i'm going to show you guys how to slide the rail and then you can start working into lifting up your front foot to do back slide okay so when you're first trying your backsleds i would recommend to do them on a super short rail it doesn't really matter if it's like a tube a box a handrail the shorter it is and the faster you go the easier it is to kind of just like lift up your foot and tap it the longer the rail it is the more challenging it's going to be to do the whole backslide because it's pretty scary to commit to sliding on one foot the entire time but the best way to work up to it on long rails is just to start by lifting your foot up for as long as you can and hold it but if you get scared or feel like you're gonna slip out you can just put your front foot down and save it so i'll show you guys how to work into it so as you saw there i started at the beginning of the rail with my foot up but then i got scared so i put my foot down to save it the main thing i had a problem with when i was learning these was not trusting myself when you feel like you need to put your foot down you just got to hold it up and hope that you you stay balanced keep your arms wide honestly helps you keep your balance really good okay so i'm going to go super fast and hold my foot up for as long as i can and i'm gonna probably end up coming off switch because that's just usually how it ends up going that wasn't the best example i had a bunch of dirt on the bottom of my skis so i didn't have a lot of speed i'm gonna try to show you guys a better one so you have an idea of what it should look like all right here we go [Music] okay so that's it for this tutorial i know it's pretty short but it's a pretty straightforward trick you just gotta trust yourself be confident and it honestly takes a lot of time to figure it out and figure out the balance of it but uh i'm gonna keep doing these tutorials let me know what tricks you guys want to see and i'll try to get them done thank you guys for watching like and subscribe leave a comment below what you think of these tutorials peace out
