Stand wide on your longboard with your heels hanging slightly off the heelside edge of the board.

Carve heelside until around 45º. Once you start to feel your back wheels slip out, step off the heelside edge with your front foot. 

Once the board crosses 90º, push off the ground with your front foot. 

Use your back foot to continue the full 180º slide rotation of your board and step back on with your front foot.

The Heelside No-Comply 180 Slide is a longboard slide trick where you tap your front foot on the ground while doing a Heelside 180 Stand-Up Slide.

Heelside No-Comply 180 Slide

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.

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 Stand-Up Slide is a longboard slide trick where you carve heelside and break traction with your wheels.

Stand in a wide stance with your front foot around 45º and your back foot perpendicular to your longboard. Your heels can hang off slightly to make the slide more easy to initiate.

Pre-carve toeside across the road to set-up for the slide. This essentially gives you more space on the road to slide straight. Otherwise you’ll have a tendency of sliding towards the edge of the road and running out of space too quickly.

As you go to kick out the slide, keep your knees bent and carve hard. Once you start to feel the wheels slip, give them a little extra force with your back foot, point your front arm forward, your back arm backwards, and stand up slightly to de-weight the board. During the slide your chest should be facing the direction you’re sliding. You should feel rotational tension in your upper and lower body.

To finish the slide, release the tension in your body by pulling your front arm back and bending your back knee. This will put the weight back on the front truck and straighten your board out.

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.
