I did this gap a good while back. Zarred Basset did it a long time ago.

**triple6inthemix** · 04-17-2009 11:41 AM

i cant land 3 flips. i get the spin down, i just cant stick them.

and any tips for nose slides/tale slides would be great to

dont post youtube trick tip videos, seen em.

**NouveauP** · 04-18-2009 12:00 PM

Well, if you're going to be doing tail slides, I'd recommend learning noseslides frontside and backside first. As far as a backside nose slide is concerned, learn them on a box. A good height is maybe knee high so you won't get in the habit of doing slappys. Come to the box at a SLIGHT angle to keep your momentum forward. Keep your front foot maybe a little higher than a normal ollie (I don't do this, but it helps some people learn) and maybe even a little crooked to help lock in the noseslide better. I also keep my heel hanging slightly off to help push the noseslide. The pop, turn your shoulders perpendicular to the box and shift most of your weight to the front to lock in. NOT ALL OF YOUR WEIGHT. You need that back foot for balance and control. Slide that motherfucker! Then when the box is ending or you're losing speed, do a little push off with your front foot and return your body to your normal riding position. Hope this helped.
