How to Frontside 360 Bert Slide on Bank
Approach the bank as if you were going to do a normal frontside carve
with good speed. As you go up the bank, let place your front hand down on the face of the bank (left hand for regular footers). Again, your hand will be the pivot point of this trick. However, you will want to remain a little more compact to make this trick (unless you are really sick). Therefore you may want to place your hand down a little closer to your body than a regular bert. Push the tail of your board around just like you were doing a regular bert slide but instead of letting the board roll down the bank, continue the slide around. As you reach this point you will start to stand up. Push off yourhand and stand up as your board is sliding around. Once you near 270 degrees, gravity will again do the rest of the work for you. So just stay centered and roll down the face of the bank fakie..
One Footed Blunt Coleman Slide
These are fun. Give it a try once you have the hang of Coleman Slides. Start this trick by just as you would a regular Coleman slide. I like to place both hands on the ground for this one. Slide 180 and as your board begins to pendulum back around, kick your front foot out and extend your leg. The weight of your back foot should automatically force the nose of your board to come up into the blunt position. Once the pendulum is complete, place your front foot back on the board and the front wheels back on the ground. Stand up as you would in a normal slide, and continue down the hill.
One Footed Ollie
The hard part of this is getting a longboard off the ground. Once you can ollie your log, it’s easy. Set up for the ollie. I like to have my back foot near the end of the tail and my front foot at about the middle of the board. When doing an ollie on a longboard, I try not to have my front foot back as far as I would if it were a new school board. Bend your knees, pop the tail. Slide your front foot up the board and then in one fluid, jumping motion bring your back foot up to get your board off the ground. Continue the slide of your foot off the end of the board and kick it out past the nose. In doing so, you will level out your board and reach peak height of the ollie. Bring your foot back and land the trick with your weight properly centered and roll away.
Downhill Layback Carve
Very basic, but fun and stylish. Also a prerequisite for Coleman Slides.At high speed approach this trick just as you would a normal frontside carve on a hill.As you carve, place your front hand down on the ground (left hand for reg. footers) Extend your hand behind you and put your other fist in the air for　style. Be careful not to carve too hard, or your wheels will break into a slide. Stand up and continue flying down the hill.
Coleman Slide
There are entire articles written about this maneuver, but this is a basic explanation of how to perform this downhill slide made famous by the legendary Cliff Coleman. In this animation, I have both hands placed on the ground; however, you can just as easily do it with one hand leaving the other hand free to grab the board or keep in the air to balance.At high speed approach this trick just as you would a normal frontside carve on a hill.
As you carve, place your front hand on the ground behind you and continue your carve. You should be going fast, so you wheels will automatically break into a slide. As you feel your wheels break into a slide, you may do what you please with your free hand (i.e. grab your board, put it on the ground, or in the air)Your board will slide easily into a 180, there is no need to force it, just let it flow. Style out this move by extending or tweaking/boningit out. As you reach a complete 180, your board will start to roll down the hill fakie, so you must exercise control. Now the tricky part. Use speed, gravity of the slope, and your legs to bring the board back into regular position or “pendulum”. You will find that sliding the board into a 180 is very easy, but getting it to pendulum back is a little more difficult. There is no substitute for practice here. As your board comes back into regular position, use your hand to push off the ground and stand up. Then continue down the hill and set up your next carve or slide.
