Backsides?
Feb 19, 2008 by Spano565

Hey guys it's me and i had a question whats the difference between a backside and a frontside is a backside when you run at a rail and do a 180 and go into a frontside because out of the almost three years i've been soaping/skating i've never know the difference,also can someone show me a vid and please not a vid from myspace,youtube,or google because my comps to old to view with any of those thanks.

Easy way to settle this:

Are you regular or goofy stance?

Feb 19, 2008Spano565

Regular

Feb 19, 2008Spano565

Let me guess(what ur gonna say.) how i have to do a backside, i do a frontside goofy right or no.

Ok, you know how you run at the rail while its in front of you for the Frontside?

Now imagine you running towards the rail like if you're going to hit it switch, but you jump up and land Frontside postion.

You basically jump Backwards into the grind.

No, whoever told you that is a retard

When you hit rails frontside, usually the rail is to your right side.

A backside (for you) would be jumping on a rail thats to the left of you, but frontside postion.

So i guess yea, it does involve some kinda spin, but not 180, thats too much...Its more like a 90 degree spin

So if i had a rail on my left i would just jump on it like a frontside

My backsides are way better than my frontsides.

Most of my best tricks are done backside.

Think of it like you where on a ledge. In both grinds you are going forwards.

In a frontside your front is facing the ledge with your toes on top of the ledge.

In a backside your back is facing the ledge with your heels on top of the ledge.
