How To Backside Boardslide Rails

How To Backside Boardslide Rails

In this tutorial, Taevis explains how to learn backside boardslides by focusing on three core principles: body position, takeoff, and catching the rail. You’ll learn how to stay stacked, manage heel pressure without leaning back, control sideways momentum, and lock into a clean, balanced boardslide on rails and tubes.

This video covers:

• Proper stacked body position for backside boardslides
• How to approach and take off with control
• Managing sideways momentum and catching the rail
• Why 50/50s are the foundation for all rail tricks
• How to build muscle memory safely on and off snow

This is a complete breakdown for riders learning backside boardslides for the first time, or anyone struggling to stay balanced and consistent on rails.
