Darkslide

A darkslide is basically a boardslide with the board upside down.

In order to do a darkslide, you should know how to kickflip, boardslide, 180 ollie, and pop shove-it.

Alright, approach your properly waxed object at a 45º angle and at a comfortable speed.  Place your feet in a kickflip position. Now, when you get to the object, do a half kickflip, and  turn 90°, catch the board with your back foot on the tail, and you front foot on the nose, slide as long as you want.  Make sure you get your front foot‘s heel is under the front truck, and your back foot’s toe is under the back truck.  Now pop the board a little like a pop shove-it, and turn the opposite way so that you land switch.  Ride away with a big smile.
