What trick is this, and how do you do it?

It's on Counterfeit This, in Shaun Murray's section. He's off in the flats, and he has his board like doing a wheely, with only the part closest to the boat in the water, only the tip of the board, the rest is out. Look's pretty sweet, but how in the hell do you do that without sinking?

Is he riding the Roam board from Hyperlite? That would explain it if he was/

You dont need a roam to do it, they are harder than they look but basically just cut out HS, push down like your going to ollie but after you push just kinda jump back/lean back hard...then all you have to do is keep your balance!

From what it sounds like, it's kind of like those manuals in WB Unleashed? Cool

Yeah I play that game

I tried one last summer epecting it to be like a tailpress on a snowboard but holy crap it's hard!

He did have a roam board, I believe. Would that make it easier because of it's flexibility? or because it's finless, less drag?

Blindside_137, yeah except with a long shifty. chavonbravo, both i belive. I havn't tried it with a finless board or with the roam, but i can do them on my substance and they aren't that bad, just gotta REALLY press. I would like to try the roam, especially beacuse i snowboard alot it would be pretty similar.

my friend does these presses on a wakeskate alot too, i didnt know they were so un-popular....but not anymore, i'm sure every kid will be out tryin em now that counterfeit this is out Laughing

I looked up pics of what a skateboard manual looks like, and it's not quite what Murray does on the DVD. It's very similar, with the exception that the board isn't facing forward at all, it's almost perpendicular. So it would be like doing a manual, except that instead of the skateboard wheels rolling, they'd be skidding sideways.

are you talking about a nose-press on a slider......or at least thats wat its called in snowboarding......you just ollie on and lean forward when on the slider and try to bring your back foot up and balance it.
