A slide facing forwards with your board turned 90° to the direction of travel followed by a 180° turn.
How do it
For this trick you execute a stand up slide and go into switch.
1.
You front leg should be at the same distance from the trucks as your back leg, and positioned at a slight angle. Your back leg should be a mirror image of your front leg. The closes your feet are to each other, the more stable and longer the slide.
2.
Speed up, crouching down slightly, begin turning your torso and pushing the board forward with your back leg, all while keeping your weight over the center of the board, i.e. on both legs.
3.
Turn your shoulders to switch — your board will follow on it's own.
