Remember, a wise kid (I know him and he's 13) said once:
Skateboarding is like juggling, you can't do it if you don't have the balls.
Remember that! :)

Everytime I try a lip slide I get a smith. And that my friends is how I met smith grinds

boardslide your front truck goes over the rail, lipslides, your back truck goes over the rail

[shuadubya]

Getting into it from the beginning of the rail instead of the middle seems smart. Good way to avoid clipping your tail when you spin. Sucks my rail is 8 ft long tho...

[AnklepantsSkateZine]

Try it on an unwaxed curb. Less chance of hang-up, won't break your board as easily, helps you get the feel of doing a 180 into the trick without worrying about slipping out on the slide. Then just take it from there.

It's really not too hard once you commit to getting on the rail. If you get that down, then you just gotta adjust the same as a backside boardslide. When I was learning them I got lazy with the spin part, but realized you kind of have to smack it into the rail at first. It's a fun and unique trick to do, and not a whole lot of people spend time on them so its a good trick to know for games of SKATE. Happy boarding!

[Flodgin]

how do you not break boards on lipslides

[kaneR]

I learned it trough curbs... Lot less scary

[KNGDOMCRASHER]

I like people’s idea of trying on a curb first. I half assed my first serious attempt and slipped out. At least the first fall motivated me to move a little faster the second try.

Me and my friends learned them on a box fist i learned them like 1 hour ago but a box is more comfortable for me i don't know if this will help you

[chesterfarrington]

This is my favorite trick on a skateboard

[RejectedSpiritX]

I smashed so many boards on front lipslides, but I did back lips like they were nothing

[WKLFilms]

They are super easy and fun when you learn them... just go for it

[TMTAS]

i now got them on grass and im super happy. its still too scary on concrete but im getting there :D

[haroldcampos]

Holy crap I just saw sight unseen and (heath kirchart) that’s the reason I searched this video… I couldn’t remember what to call it when a boardslide was not exactly a boardslide. I was looking for that part in that’s life with heath kirchart and song ‘good enough’ or maybe it was ‘if I think’ that was playing.


Knights in white satin!!! Hahahaha

[whiwiscjxksk]

i know what you mean but just think its almost excactly like a boardslide! And if you clip it you should be able to catch yourself just dont think about it i made myself a shitty little round rail in my backyard to practice it into the grass then i try to do it on cement and i normally get it! just trying to help u out man best of luck!

[eZaFJDUBB]

Someone tell me the difference between these and boardslides

[VoLTProduct]

I was hoping someone could give me some tips because this viedo didn't go over this. everytime I do a lip slide I snap my board and idk how to control that. so if anyone has some tips that would be coo!

[datCustom]

everytime i try it i stomp down to hard and i break my board i really need help lol ;/

[VeitchyZ]

a lip slide is your doing a 90 over the rail to basically a board slide with board slide you do 90 in to the rail
