yeah thanks.

front to the side dawwgggg

Since no one cares to explain I will. When you are doing any type of slide and you turn frontside instead of being called a frontside boardslide it would be called a backside boardslide and vice versa.ツ

What? Lol.



On a rail or ledge, if you roll up FACING the rail, with the FRONT of your body towards it, its frontside. If you roll up with your BACK to it, its backside.


Then nollie is switched, and halfcabs to boardslides are called lipslides etc.

everyone i know including me would say thats a bs boardslide.

everyone i know including me would say thats a bs boardslide.Those seven months didn't really pay off.

everyone i know including me would say thats a bs boardslide.

Well you and everyone you know are dumb. :)

It's front.
They turned with their toes, not their heels.

That's how it was explained to me. Also the way you turn your shoulders.

haha skatethrash..
yeah i was pretty sure it was fs but everyone on youtube was saying it was bs.

that was a boardslide?

Don't listen to them. it's FS :)

that was a boardslide?

haha yeah.. ive got them a lot better now though. ill post footy when my cam gets fixed.

It's actually different depending on where you live, from what I can tell. But generally, yeah, that's frontside.

bs. like your doing a bs 180.

not frontside like a fs 180

What? Lol.

nollie doesnt get switced for grinds, only spins....and you dont have to ride fakie for lipslides

but here's a confusing thing. say the rail is behind you as you are riding up...if you nollie and your front wheels go over the rail its a boardslide....and a lipslide is when your back truck goes over the rail...wether it be fakie,nollie,switch,etc.

with fakie, your back truck is the truck that is rolling in the front...like the popping side, if that makes any sense.

its frontside

oh, that would be purpleside
PS Boardslide

















































it was frontside

thats backside people, because she is turning towards her back heel

thats backside people, because she is turning towards her back heelThe term frontside was first used in surfing. When the front of their body turned towards the wave or and in this case obstacle, it was called frontside, and with the back of their body, backside. And since skateboarding came from surfing, they applied that to it. So when you're grinding or sliding, that's the principle.

Frontside, and whoever disagrees is wrong.

everyone i know including me would say thats a bs boardslide.

too bad youre all wrong.

It's a frontside.


MRCK, I'm gonna use your example to explain.

You see, people used to do verts, and FS 50-50 was when their bodys were facing out to the rail. BS was when their back was facing the rail.

So FS boardslide would be when your front faces the RAIL, not facing the direction you're going, and bs would be when your back faces the rail.

Kinda hard to get, trust me, but after a while, you'll understand like me :D








Okay, next time, MRCK, you're doing the explaining. I suck at this :(

Yeah, I know what a lipslide is, but isn't it called a lipslide when you do a nollie 180 or halfcab onto the rail, even though it looks like a boardslide?

thats a frontside groundscrape

No.

If you approach heelside it's BS, whereas if you approach toeside it's FS, it has nothing to do with the way you turn, it's one of the few things the Tony Hawk series got right.



You see, people used to do verts...

Used to do vert?
Vert's alive and kicking son!

EDIT: well, alive anyway...

Correction:

When vert was very popular and grinds were mainly performed on the coping of the vert.

There ya go ;)

Sorry about it :(

I'll just use a random YouTube video for this one :

That's a nollie lipslide. But if the skater had been goofy it would have been a fakie boardslide. Why ? Nollie : nose ollie, it's just like a regular ollie popped off the nose, so basically, nothing changes, it's like a regular ollie lipslide except that you pop off the nose instead of the tail before locking into it. Fakie : riding backwards - if the skater had been goofy he would be doing the same thing as a regular f/s boardslide, but going backwards. So it would be a fakie boardslide.

Get it ? :)

There's tonnes of evidence for this too.

A Goofy skater's Nollie FS 180, looks the same as a Regular skater's BS HalfCab.

When you land something backwards from tranny/bank or a slide it's called "To Fakie", not "To Switch".
Eg. Rock To Fakie.

Nollie is derived from regular, but Fakie is not derived from Switch...

frontside

Frontside.

it starts with a f and ends with a rontside

my bad i was thinking in terms of 180 i guess i wasnt thinking of the rail to much
and dont take it so seriously

that was a frontside "nothing"... an old school trick where u actually just do nothing. haha
