How to Frontside Tailslide 

Ben, I've been trying to FS tailslide while skating parallel to the curb, and the minor adjustment of coming at the curb at an angle completely changed the game for me. Thanks so much for this valuable video!

Thanks man , really helped a lot

Bro you are super underrated! Thanks for the tutorial and keep grinding brother

After knowing only some shuv it tricks and 180 (no flips yet but I'm close), last Monday I just found some nice stairs. So, I've started with 50-50 in place, and it was super easy. Then I tried while rolling, and then also with rolling shuv its. I did all that stuff just in one day! I didn't grind though as I think it could be hard without wax, but it's still cool to lock the board on the stair. So, I'm going to try with tail now! I bought wax today :). Just wanted to share the encouragement to anyone who needs it, as after constant skating for the last 3 years (and this is almost all my skating for a 36yo guy), I'm really starting to feel the board and some of grinds seem to be not that hard. Awesome video! Thanks for an inspiration! Why did I forget on Monday to try with FS180 and with FS180 to fakie? :D. Cheerz!

The way you explained how to get into this trick, by riding at a very slight angle and using the 90 degree ollie to lock into the tail slide, that really has helped me to visualize how I will lock into this trick. I'm very excited to try this. Also, practicing it on an unwaxed curb in the form of a stall instead of a grind, thats a fantastic, low-risk, confidence building way to learn tge motion...genius.. plus it teaches you a stall you can do. Thanks Ben!

"riding into the curb and using your 90 to lock in" I was just thinking that my problem was I am try to turn too much and the tail is getting ahead of the nose, I realized the nose has to stay ahead to get locked in and Ben stated the same thing in a very simple way near the beginning Awesome im going to get tails tonight for sure Update: I got em in about 15 mins after this! The key was to think about both toes pointed in the same direction, towards the ledge at the same angle I approach the ledge

Always so informative! Thanks my guy.

33 year old here starting to skate lightly again (don't wanna break a hip) these videos are too perfect. Keep em coming!

One of my most frustrating tricks. Crusty curb, no problem. On slicker stuff, I always catch the wheels cuz my angle is little off or my heel on top and get kicked off immediately OR like 1/20 slides like crazy giving me a heart attack.

Front side tail slide i have always had a hard with these mostly cuz i suck at frontside ollies Imm better at backside tail slides Still good and extreamly helpful tutorial im going to defintely try your tips on frontside tail slides

My favorite teacher

here we go again maybe if i watch this another 100 times I'll get it! I can do FS tail stalls! just gotta keep workin it

Broo this is like gold well laid out step by step💪🏽

My problem is my balance. I’ve been doing nose slides and got so good at them that my weight of my body just goes to the opposite side of my tail slide. Please help me. Even on a low curve or no speed at all my body just drags me the opposite way :/

So going to try this on my next skate day. It keeps raining here in the UK! Thanks for the video. Very helpful 🤘

I've done them before but pretty sporadically and never very well. I should learn them, thanks for the tips, makes sense to try it on a sticky curb first and then go on from there.

Thank you for these!! Finally learned front tails!! 😎🛹👍

Throw em into a curb on an angle, little half kick turn out, rolling away stylin. I got slappy noseslides and front 180s let’s get down

This is one of the most unpredictable tricks for me. I've been skating for 13 years and this trick comes and goes. Even when I have it, I don't really have it. I can slide a little and then I lose them again. I really don't know what I have to do to fix it. The slide is never comfortable. Any tips on how to make the slide feel more comfortable and easier to hold

I really want to try these now. Your tips on boardslides were very helpful!

I can always get in them but never could slide them that well. I Wish you or Someone went more in depth on how important it is to be completely sideways on the ledge or any tips to slide em or you'll stick everytime. skatings hard lol

Say goodbye to your grip and the pop of your shape LOL. Dont skate in wet places guys.

Are you supponera to press down the nose with the front foot, or should i just let it kind off hover? Or i have notice that i offen end up balancing only on my back foot while sliding

By far the most helpful trick tips on RU-vid

This is the best tutorial I’ve seen yet thank you so much Ben keep it up

Now i have my front tailslide unlock thank for this video how about the backtail?

superrrr cool..gonna try it

i can always turn the board going into a grind trick like when u do a frontside tailslide but i cant even fs 180 or bs 180

I've been going way to slow and have no momentum to carry me into the curb

Don’t you do drywall?

You need to do an ollie first and when your deck is over the ledge you need to shift body frontside, then move your weight on back foot and slide!!!

Thanks Ben been needing this tutorial

I can't fathem how people call fs nose slide a FS nose slide when they were facing backwards but people call this a fs tail slide which seems the right way to me lol I've always hated the differences in fs and bs names

How’s the pop on that fA board?

I keep going into a board slide

Love your vids man. I would be super stoked to learn backside tailslides and backside 5-0's. I was wondering if you could film a video of you explaining how you do them.

Looks very useful! Thanks, Ben!

I wanna learn these on transition

That was dope man, thank you for doing the tutorial. Can you do a tutorial on tre flips and frontside flips pleease.

What board is that

Thank you.

Great vid Ben. I am workin on it !

perfect

Pulled back from the way back..... but this has such a "Letterkenny" vibe.. I hope that's not a Canadian insult.....

tottaly true

Hi Ben, i just noticed that your board is (always) parallel to your shoulder position, or it's just a hallucination..

Are you skating on wet grip Ben? I could never do that, I’d be so bummed skating in the rain

3:23 ... mad man skates in the rain lol good shit ben, i've been trying this trick but not approaching at an angle. I'm gonna try that

Can’t believe I’m barely seeing this! Thank you so much!

Ben which do you find easier to hold for a long time, a frontside tail slide, or a backside nose slide? I haven't learned either of these tricks yet, just slappy back nose slides, and I was just wondering which one is easier for you to hold for several feet

Always thought these were hella difficult but i think i got em

Coming here after I learned a tail slide fakie today. Need them better. Having a popped one on transition really helped me.

Put this know your basic tutorials Playlist boi 😎 it's not their and it's a fab video 💪

Thanks man. Shout out From Afgh. APO.

I was looking at other tutorials about this yesterday! Yours is the best; just need it to stop raining. Maybe I’ll try on my ramp for my next video.

That's my next trick

Him: skates at wet skatepark Me: dies

Guy gives the best trick tips

hes like a more wholesome descenzo

Hard flex at the end with the dad sit

Another great vid Ben! Cheers

Thank you! 👍👍

im having trouble with getting locked into the tailslide. its like a try the 90 degree ollie into it but i end up slipping off of the curb or not getting the whole rotation. any tips?

Thank you Ben!!!!!

will try this asap thanks!

Weren't they doing that before the ollie was invented? They used to throw their boards at the curb.

Thanks for the tips bro! Haha I got sick because of how wet it is in this video I hate skating when it’s wet out

Omg I needed this

Thanks bro

Hey man, how are you so good at keeping your back foot on the board when you Ollie? My back foot comes off quite a bit until my front foot finally levels out the board with the drag.

😎🤙🏼

I can do like 15-17 other tricks, but I haven't done a TailSlide in like 2 years n so I decided to try it again today - but I got so angry I snapped my goddamn bored. Excuse me wtf-

What do I do if I already know how to front tail?

Еееее, заебись, четко!

Thanks ben! Going in at an angle makes it a lot easier to get into front tail. Good bit of info there

Thanks for this !! I’ve watched just about every video you’ve posted! You’re definitely underrated keep em up and i hope to get this good one day being that I’m 38 and started to skate again. I’m hoping my bones could keep up with me lmao

this one ok but but could have had little more specifics .🐒

One of the coolest street tricks, and on transition too imo.

Thank You! I'm much more confident about tail slides.
