"This is Kyle Hovercamp in Skatechurch in Portland, Or on behalf of Expert Village this is a tutorial on how to do a boardslide on your skateboard. In this clip we're going to be talking about landing and rolling away from the boardslide. There's 2 different ways you can get off of the rail you can pop out early and popping out early is when you get on the boardslide and before the object ends you push down on your tail and lift up on the front flip and your front truck will come back over the rails and then you can land. What most people do is wait till the end of the rail and then they get off so either way you turn 90 degrees back to the way that you were standing before you got onto the object. What you do is turn your shoulders and your body will start turning and you get off and roll away. Where you want your feet to be when your getting off the rail rather it be popping off early or riding out to the end you want to have it on the bolts just in case cause some rails are higher than others some objects are higher than others and the impact might crack your board. So just keep your feet on your bolts when you land and you can roll away easier."
