One additional tip. Dont go up in too much angle. It will backside lipslide instead. Learned that the hard way.

I knew I recognized this guy when I watched his fakie disaster video. Then I watched this and realized... it's the vancouver carpenter! Not only did you teach me how to mud and tape but also skate! What can't you do?

That skatepark is gorgeous

The moment you said “backside powerslide” I was like fuck... and I landed my first one straight after, didn’t have to watch the rest 😂

the phrases "okay eh" and "piss of, hoser" always come to mind when I watch your vids. haha.

Great trick tip Ben! Super well explained! Specially the part about popping into the trick instead of sliding into it and the shoulder lag while your head looks to where you're going 👌🏼will do that! Loved it. Great video Ben! 😁😎

Such good tips in this tutorial. Definitely going to go out and improve my backside disaster game now =D Thanks again, Ben!

love watching your videos very informative and they are helping me get back into skateing keep up the good work much apreciated

This was the best explanation of this trick I've ever come across

been trying to learn these for the past few weeks but I can never stop the rotation and can only do them revert so this video was super helpful, thank you, gonna try it with keeping my shoulders open tomorrow

Thank you for this (and all your other content). I finally locked backside disasters this week and they feel, as you say, way easier than they seem when you're getting up to them. It actually started because we were all working on our backside smiths in transition at the park and I accidentally popped one into a lip slide and was like, woah, that was just disaster. So then we were all doing that and everything you say in this video is really helpful as to the feel of the thing.

THANK YOU excellent in depth tuts as always :)

ome of the best tutorials about bs disaster! thanks mate🔥

best tutorial i've seen on this trick.

I have a backside disaster after having some dodgy seafood

Great tutorial! I'll have to give this one a try next time I'm at the park.

just started getting these. But not consistent, I do find them easier on a steeper transition and will try the power slide tip next time I'm at the bowl. Thanks!

Great videos man. 👊

amazing video man I can tell ur getting better by the day 😃

Thanks Ben. Been trying this for a while. I needed your tip on not popping. When I do get a lucky one and land it I think this is what's happening but didn't realise!

ALWAYS WANTED TO LEARN THIS TRICK

awesome tips man!

This is easy thanks for the tips

Good tutorial!!!

Great vid. Any chance of FS disaster tutorial?

bs disasters are all scoop. Your advice on feet to shoulders applies to my understanding of bigspins. You gotta open up those shoulders and scoop. As long as the feet, hips, shoulders and head are on course to meet back up with each other, have faith and go for it.

Superb.

going to try landing my first one tomorrow!! does it matter if im trying backside instead of frontside first? i usually gravitate more towards backside tricks (especially on transition)

nice park over there!

I first learned to roll in to get the confidence to get my back trucks over the coping. Then got the backside 180 really down. Now I almost got the BS Disaster down.

Would it be possible to olly straight up... then backside 180 late... then land and do a LATE BACKSIDE 180 disaster?

Great great tutorial. I have only skated street so any tricks like this are hard. Can you teach more vert tricks please? And are you supposed to ollie on any vert tricks?

It’s rare to see a stylish one nowadays every kid does em

thanks dude

will u able to give the trick to land in the center of the deck, I keep locking all the way to my front truck

thanks for the tips

I have backslash/edgers down so hard to the point I can do them on 12ft crust pool coping but I literally can't do a back D on a 2ft noping ramp to save my life. My issue seems to be opposite of most, I "under rotate" and end up in a nose crook basically every time, or a bs Smith usually. Sometimes just plain outside the whole ramp. Any tips on making sure you're body doesn't go over the top of the coping and staying "inside" the ramp?

I’m still trying to get up the confidence to go all the way up ramps and drop in. I don’t have many nice parks with many ovstacles.

My problem is that my front foot is never on the nose. Coming back in is wonky because my front foot always ends up in the middle of the board and I have to scootch it up to get back into the quarterpipe. I can get into the disaster well enough but it's the getting back in that gets me. guess i just gotta keep practicing it

Great Video

I want to do thé same ! !!!

and ben btw u get no dislikes almost every vid ur doing gr8

Hey this is Kens!

I'm 41 and starting again:) hope I don't bust my shit.....lol.

My problem is that I under rotate... And i end up landing smith stall

Dude in the background @4:35 ...

I habe a friend that arguing me all the time about this trick, he says that this trick must be done with an ollie. I know he's wrong and showed him your video, but he doesn't want to understand the truth hahaha (by the way he's 43 years old)

Ben you have to work on your intro mate...lol
