@@mylast949search for “Cristiano Ronaldo chop”. you approach the ledge at an angle and do a regular but boned ollie, once it’s boned in the air you will do a late motion (almost like you re trying to make a 4 with your legs/the Ronaldo chop) with your back foot so that the board will turn in bs tail position and lock itself in the ledge. Think about slamming the tail late on the ledge. First do a ollie and only then once up in the air you do this late slamming of the tail into the ledge. Trust me. The word “late” is the secret to this trick. It’s a trick in two parts: first you ollie and only then you turn in the air. Do not try already turning as you ollie. It looks like one fluid motion on videos but from the skaters perspective it’s a two part trick. Good luck.
Starting to get more consistent at these thanks to this tip! The foot position helps as well as ollieing then turning, also looking at your front foot when you’re sliding to fakie
Wishing you a speedy recovery from your injury (if it's still ongoing...) Again...another great trick tip video! It's a scary trick cause you jump in almost blindly, but one of the best looking ones for sure! Unfortunately I can only tap them 😔 The different foot positioning might help.
I'm 42, been skating for 28 years, and I never understood how to properly slide a bsts. Just tried again yesterday, my board just slipped really quickly, I fell on my shoulder and ended up at the hospital ahah (all good). I guess my question is... how do you learn to balance this trick ?? seems impossible to me. cheers from France, nice trick tips keep it going
Oh no! Hope you heal up quick! Honestly that still happens to me every once in a while. But basically start off with a ledge that is barely waxed or not waxed at all to get used to the motion. Then once you try on a waxed ledge, start off with trying to land on the ledge with all the weight in your heel and adjust as needed. It definitely takes some time to get used to!
@@joshb9657 You at least want to have your weight on top of the ledge and almost all of my weight is on the ball of my foot. If you can have your weight over the ledge so if you fall, you land on top of the ledge, it helps with longer slides.
@@joshb9657 to start it is definitely easier to twist your whole body and prepare to go to fakie. This will get your comfortable landing in the slide and sliding. Once you have that down you can work on keeping your upper body straight to go out to regular. Hope that helps!
Dude i can get my tail on the ledge every time but my front foot just flies off forward off of the board. it almost looks like when you were showing the approach examples and hopping off your board. I cannot for the life of me sit on the board and slide it once im locked in.
Are you trying on a waxed or not waxed ledge? Sometimes when you’re just practicing getting in your foot will just come off because you stick on the ledge. It could also be that you’re not fully committing, which is understandable because it’s a scary one to try!
@@niekdekempe6735 It might just be that you're not fully committing, but its hard to tell without seeing it. I would just keep practicing on an unwaxed ledge/curb going slow and focusing on getting in!
Im just straight up scared to go fast.pop backside and open up my shoulders.when i started the trick i was slippin out on my face .falling harder than any trick ive done ever
I kept at em on a small ledge and I can get into them more consistant now.i have to remember to body posture forward not back.and little to no wax .and I must trust myself to open my shoulders f u lly
My shoulders don't stay parallel to the ledge they're perpendicular and once I'm sliding I look over my shoulder. Your way sounds like you've never done back tails before. I've been doing them since 2003.
it was once described to me similarly to “behind the back” pass of a soccer ball & that really helped me learn popping into back tails
Sick! I don’t really know how to play soccer but that totally makes sense!
I'm interested in these techniques.any further explanation about this?
that's a good tip !

Appreciate it! Recovery is going well. Hoping to be back on the board in a couple weeks. Good luck with those back tails!
My goal is to learn back tails before I turn 30 in about a year. This will help, thanks!

@@ConnorMcSkaten thanks for the tip!
yo connor is mike from skate after school! i had no idea you had a youtube!!
Yo! Whats up dude! Haha yeah I've been slackin lately gotta post more for sure 😅
Great vid thanks, where are you eyes looking?
Good question! Going to regular i look just past my front shoulder and going to fakie i'm usually looking down at my front foot.
@@ConnorMcSkaten do you lean into the ledge? Been struggling with this for years and you got them dialled.

@@ConnorMcSkaten was trying them again today but my heel is constantly landing on the ledge, r u twisting hips only or whole body ?

What skate park is that?
Perry park in Phoenix, AZ!
Thanks!! I’ll look it up.

Yo do you have a tip i always have it whit one foot
When you land? Or when it’s sliding?
@@ConnorMcSkaten when it’s sliding
@@niekdekempe6735 It might just be that you're not fully committing, but its hard to tell without seeing it. I would just keep practicing on an unwaxed ledge/curb going slow and focusing on getting in!
@@ConnorMcSkaten yo thanks bro i got into it bc of ur tip
@@niekdekempe6735 Hell yeah!! Let me know when you land it!!
yooooo im in phoenix to
Sick! If you ever see me at a park say what’s up!
Im just straight up scared to go fast.pop backside and open up my shoulders.when i started the trick i was slippin out on my face .falling harder than any trick ive done ever
I totally get that! Usually when I slip out bad it’s on ledges that are kind of tall for me. Maybe try on something a little lower!
I kept at em on a small ledge and I can get into them more consistant now.i have to remember to body posture forward not back.and little to no wax .and I must trust myself to open my shoulders f u lly
I still can't see anything tho cause the ledge I so small it happens so fast .I tend to look at my back foot or under my arm.
Look at your front foot
Except that doesn't help you get your shoulders all the way around. Look at your back foot*
Your shoulders are staying parallel to the ledge so you can look backwards. Your hips are twisting not your shoulders. *look at your front foot
My shoulders don't stay parallel to the ledge they're perpendicular and once I'm sliding I look over my shoulder. Your way sounds like you've never done back tails before. I've been doing them since 2003.
The best tip for this trick is lots of wax.thats it.wax and than more wax.than more wax.you wont learn em without the wax
