i believe Cliff calls that the 'Cliff slide'

a layback is what Sergio does,

YouTube - Gravity Skateboards - Slide School - #4...

similar to the move in a pool where u put ur trailing hand on the coping

i think its just called a coleman but i could be wrong after all its 3 in the morning

ya i know about sergios layback, but ive heard people call doing a coleman and riding switch around a corner a layback also.

[nikeeric]

any tips? i been trying to get these down for a while. Whenever i try them i just end up sliding backwards in a straight line and never make the turn.

I believe that's called riding switch.

As for the term "layback," it comes from surfing. Short for layback snap.

We call it a 'reverse coleman' over here. They do them a lot in the Faltown video. With super tech slide wheels like Earthwings, it can be a bit harder to get the board to turn rather than slide, a slightly softer wheel helps. You should get slideschool to do a trick tip video on them!

The trick is actually called a coleman slide: 180 to switch around a corner to 180 out, so basically a pendy around a corner
