Trick
Backside Lipslide
Aliases
Back Lipen · Common short name (S7)GLOSSARY
From a backside approach, the rider lifts the tail over the feature so the board lands across it with the tail crossing first, then slides along it.
Context and distinction
A lipslide crosses the feature with the tail; a boardslide crosses with the nose. The entry path, not just the final position, defines the trick.

Backside Lipslide: Training-Board Preparation
Tail-crossing entry from a backside approach; rehearsed here off snow.
Preparation and setting
Controlled front-lip training rehearsal; bar starts behind the rider.
How to do it
- Establish the backside approach position.
- Pop clear and move head, hips and shoulders through the source's backside entry.
- Clear the tail and establish transverse support.
- Hold the supported position.
- For the forward-exit version, use counterrotation and release toward riding alignment.
Learn it
Separate rotation-based and counterrotated rehearsals; select the intended exit before entry.
Errors and corrections — editorial checks
Entry is blocked: revisit tail clearance. Exit is uncontrolled: rehearse the unwind without adding amplitude.
Cues
Clear tail; know the exit.
Successful attempt
Stable off-snow support and a planned release.
Boundary
The supported pose may resemble front board, but entry path differs. This does not establish readiness for a moving rail.

Additional teaching summary — coaching review required
S7 turns the head with hips and shoulders for its rotation-based example and separately teaches counterrotation for returning to forward riding. The supported pose can resemble Front Board, but the entry path differs.
