1)Get your feet in a comfortable position and approach the rail or curb
at a moderate speed (I would suggust at an angle at first to get use to
ollie that direction as it tends to be alittle harder than usual.)
Either B/S or F/S. F/S is usually easier.

2)Usually this trick tends to need a higher ollie than a noseslide and
make sure not to over shoot into Lipslide. Then apply most of your
pressure to your REAR foot over the tail so that when you land, you are
sliding with the tail of your board on the object.

3)If you are doing B/S Tailslides some add style to it and have their
front foot on the side of the board or different variations. But either
way be carefull not to slip out (keep going with the ollie 90 then
slide) because if you've done noseslides before this will feel weird and
you tend to fall forward or back easy.

4)When you decide that you want to come off the slide or have run out of
momentum the you'll need to turn off the object a 90 degress. This can
be done either direction. Some find it easier to do it one way than the
other. I'd recommend however starting with LEDGES on this one. Land it
and try kickflip B/S Tailslides.
