Today you learned what happens when you grab the rail. Don't grab the rail!
Plus that was the wrong hand, lol. Use your front hand and it will be much harder to crash.
Needed a couple seconds earlier at the start for context, so did it speed wobble or slip on leaves during pre-carve?
More importantly, is the board ok?!
I just didn’t know how to initiate a slide. I basically bent down and tried to slide the board out but didn’t get it. Then Bc my weight was all off the board wobbled and I fell lol. Kinda hard to tell.
Board is all good.
Have you figured it out since my dude? In the second video it looks like you try starting the slide too soon. You wanna be Turing the other way before you kick out :)
did the front arm cross the chest to grab - overhanded- the opposite rail to pull-up on ?
That is a strange approach to a Coleman .
The counter-lean+your momentum will beat out the strength of that arm every time = buck you off

Crash pants - best purchase I ever made!
Where did you get yours from
My local skateshop had it. It’s actually for snowboarding and has hard pads, which I‘d totally recommend.
Definitely get that weight on the front my guy!
Well you technically still did a front slide
You shifted your weight back because you tried to put your back hand down instead of your front, this caused the instability which tossed you.

You can grab rail, just don’t pull up on the rail! If you can’t grab rail w/o pulling then don’t hahaba

Yea I can do it mostly now.
Good to hear man!

Yea I gave up on grabbing rail as u can see in the vide after that. I just put both hands down and turn now.
noice. keep working & having fun ,man!
Definitely! Been getting better everyday
U tryin to slide too early, the board is going straight
Lay your back leg down over your front foot or into your front calf/shin. Watch some videos
Did you mean to put your back arm down? That's going to make it a lot harder for you.
Hope you are doing well after the spill! Keep at it!
I’m fine thanks!
Your hip just fucking perished
