Now I'm going to talk about Nollie 180 into Sliders. Got the Nollie 180, you land Slider, and you cross it up and you come out backwards. That's a variation of the Nollie 180 that we talked about already, and that's a perfect example of what I was talking about when I said that you can incorporate Sliders into more difficult tricks. Basically, the whole key with that, is that once you do the Nollie 180 and you start to get the roll-back, you want to back off the bars as soon as you start rolling backwards and you cross up and actually lay the bike over a little bit, kind of like an opposite Tabletop. And you want to be able to stay really loose for this and actually do fakeys with your legs a little bit farther apart because that will kind of allow some more room for the handlebars to swing around in there while you're doing the Slider. And you keep looking over your shoulder, get the back pedal, and slide out. It's one of those tricks, again, it's a pretty difficult trick, so it will probably take a little bit of experimentation, actually a lot more than some of the tricks we've already discussed today. But it's a really fun trick, and once you learn it, you can start doing Nollie 180's into wedges and all kinds of stuff. It's a good trick.
