Back lips are rad because they take confidence and if you don’t want to boardslide, but you aren’t rocking nubs it’s an option. It’s a really fun trick — once you do it, guaranteed you’ll love the way it feels and want to ride away from another.

Before you try this trick you want to be comfortable with front side boardslides and have solid pop.

From here it’s like a front side boardslide. Using your upper body face the end of the rail and look over your front shoulder.

Don’t do it the cheap way and ride straight at the rail. Come from the side and pop your back foot up and over the rail like you mean it.
