Darkslide

Slyder · Posted: Sep 01, 2004 3:10 pm Post subject: Darkslide

I was thinking about trying this the next time i go to odub. What about doing a drakslide across the tabletop, then flip out of it off the end? Like, if you throw a shuv too late, the board usually flips over half way, so if the board is already upside down, it should work, right?

KirbyJosh, that pic was fake, he was just balancing on the rail with the board upside down
...and i think it is possible on that picnic table, the only thing is that u really cant half flip out, u would just have to put one of ur feet underneath the board at the end of the box and flip it out that way

chase gregory almost did it on accident one time. he was doing kickflips onto the table, and one of them only flipped halfway and he slid across the table perfectly. it was a good darkslide because the board was perpendicular to the table, and when he came off the end, the board actually flipped back around. he landed like a foot away from the board. so it's definitely possible.

I was just screwing around one day and just kind of flicking the board off the end of the tabletop. I could get the half flip out easy i think.

Sorry bout the negative tude but, It is almost impossible to get your feet to stay on the board when sliding. Then, flipping the board uppright can probably only work if you get your foot under as you end the trick, which will be a task within itself. The main problem will be keeping your feet on.
