tailslide

Tail-first board slide

A tailslide is a skateboarding trick where the rider slides along an obstacle (like a ledge or rail) with the tail of the board making contact, the body positioned over or behind the back trucks: He landed a clean tailslide on the handrail.

In aviation, a tailslide is a maneuver where an aircraft stalls, slides backward momentarily, then pitches forward to recover.
