Stand in a wide stance with your front foot covering the inner bolts of your front truck if possible. Your heels can be slightly over the heelside edge to make the slide easier.

Initiate the Heelside 180 Stand-Up Slide by carving heelside and throwing your arms up and across your body to de-weight the wheels.

Once your wheels break traction with the pavement, lift your back foot off the board, and twist your front foot continue the 180º rotation of your longboard.

To finish the Heelside 1-Foot 180 Stand-Up Slide, pull your arms back across your body as if you were doing a check slide. This will slow down the momentum of your body rotation and allow you to roll away clean.

The Heelside 1-Foot 180 Stand-Up Slide is a longboard slide trick where you powerslide your longboard 180º frontside (heelside) with only your front leg on the board.

The Lady Killer 180 Slide is a longboard slide trick where you cross your feet on your board like a Cross Step and do a Frontside 180 Stand-Up Slide in this position.

Step into a Cross Step position by bringing your front foot back and stepping your back foot over onto the heelside rail. The wider the stance you have in this position the better.

Carve hard heelside and put most of the weight on the front of the board. This gets weight off the back wheels and allows the board to slide. Make sure wait to kick out the board until you feel the wheels start to loose traction naturally.

When the slide finishes its 180º rotation, swivel your feet back to your normal riding position and roll away.Weight distribution is important. A common problem is putting too much weight on the back of the board which will prevent it from sliding and likely put you on your ass. Also, once the 180 slide is complete, the foot rotation kind of just falls into place.

The Fish Tail Slide is a longboard slide trick where you slide heelside and toeside in one motion.

Place your front foot over the front truck and your back foot centered in a wide stance. This allows you to take more weight off the back truck while sliding and prevent unwanted hook ups mid-slide.

Bend your knees a lot and carve hard into the heelside part of the slide. As you throw it, make your a lot of the weight is on your front truck and that your front arm comes across your body to build tension in the slide like you would for the Heelside Stand-Up Slide.

To switch the slide from heelside to toeside, put the weight back on your front foot, kick your back leg out, and throw your front arm back behind your body. This will pull your chest forward and put you in a good Toeside Stand-Up Slide position.

To release the slide, suck your back leg back in and release the tension in your upper body.

The Frontside Pivot is a longboard freestyle trick where you start in a nollie stance and rotate your board around 180° frontside.

Start in a nollie position with your front foot on the nose of your board and your back foot near the center.

Get low and wind up your upper body towards your back foot.

Stand up, press into the nose of your board, and throw your arms and shoulders across your body to rotate your board frontside. Standing up will help you to take the weight off your board so it glides across the pavement smoothly.

Stand up, press into the nose of your board, and throw your arms and shoulders across your body to rotate your board frontside.

When the board is almost around 180°, drop your body down low. This puts weight back on your wheels and will make riding away clean and steezy.

The Heelside 180 Stand Up Slide is a longboard freeride trick where you rotate the board around 180º frontside by sliding all 4 wheels.

Stand in a wide stance with both your feet perpendicular to the deck.

Pre-carve toeside across the road. This allows you to ease more into the Heelside 180 Stand Up Slide when you initiate it because you’ll have more room on the road to carve without riding off the road.

Start the slide by carving hard heelside, shifting most of the weight to your front toes, and throwing your arms around. The goal here is to exponentially add more and more weight and force until the board is about to slip out then give it a little extra love to bring it around. If you just try and kick the board out, it won’t slide much and if it doesn’t you’ll likely high-side. This is a good sign you’re not carving enough.

Start the slide by carving hard toeside, shifting most of the weight to your front toes, and throwing your arms around.

Look down the hill and shift most of your weight onto your new front foot to ride away clean in your switch position.
