How to Lipslide, Step by Step

  1. Approach the rail almost parallel, slightly faster than for a boardslide.
  2. Ollie and bring the tail up and over the rail.
  3. Land the middle of the deck on the rail with your body turned.
  4. Keep your weight centred and slide.
  5. Turn back to regular and ride away.

Lipslide Tips

  • You need more pop than a boardslide because the tail has to clear the rail.
  • Turn your shoulders before the ollie to set up the rotation.
  • Frontside lipslides look great on stair rails once you have them dialled.
