Variations of the backside boardslide

There are many variations of the backside boardslide that can be performed depending on the rider’s ability and the features of the skatepark or street spot. Some of the more common variations include the frontside boardslide, the backside Smith grind, and the backside tailslide.

The frontside boardslide is performed by sliding the board on the frontside of the ledge or rail, while the backside boardslide is done on the backside.
