Wakeboard Trick Descriptions
Trick Name: Sideslide
Description: Board slides sideways on the water (1 sec. min.)
Category: Beginner
Point Value: 130
Tip on performing this trick: A Sideslide can be done either ourside or inside the wake. Usually it's an accident while learning the Surface 180- consider it turning the board 90 degrees on the surface. The thing you need to be careful of is not to catch an edge - can you say face plant?? To aviod such pain, put more weight on your heels and dig that back edge into the water. This might produce some spray... but isn't that what looks most cool!? (See also Reverse Sideslide)
