How do it
A move in which you place your palm on the asphalt and go into a controlled drift, with your back to your direction of movement.
1.
Place your front leg whichever way you find most comfortable, at about 45 degrees to the axis of the board. Your back leg should be parallel to the board, leaning on the edge or gas pedal.
2.
Bend your front knee, practically placing it on your chest, grab the edge of the board with your front hand, somewhere before your front foot. Make sure you don't move your back knee to the side. It should be touching your front leg.
3.
Place your back leg on the ground, not too far from the board, this will allow you to better control the slide.
4.
The majority of your weight should remain over your front leg. Have your back foot toe push the board, making the back wheels go into a drift. Keep your face and shoulders facing down the slope.
5.
Return to your original position by tucking your back leg.
