boardslides

Sideways rail slides

A boardslide is a skateboarding trick where the rider ollies onto a rail or ledge and slides along it with the board perpendicular to the obstacle, the deck's underside grinding across the surface: He landed a clean boardslide on the handrail.

The move is fundamental to street skating and appears in snowboarding and other board sports.
