It’s like crab walks, except you put your front foot on the part where it starts to curve. you don’t have to go really fast to start out but get like a little push and then put more weight on your front foot and then use your back foot (on the tail) and push out in front of you trying to get the board to turn 90°.

Dude I just figured it out today, you need a point of weightlessness and you can do that by bending your knees and rising back up. When doing that push your back foot forward and just go for it. It took me like 3 days to figure it out but you got this man

start with doing a hippie jump without actually leaving the board. thats an important step to get your weight off of the deck. your next move is prewinding your shoulders. this is gonna set off the chain reaction of your body to get the board sideways. twist your arms and shoulders squared with the tail and when you spin your shoulders back around do the fake hippie jump and let your hips follow through. while in the slide your arms will naturally prewind the opposite direction than you started with. this is important because it will let you get out of the powerslide smoothly. lean back enough that youre not sent flying if the wheels catch traction. and when you feel the wheels are going to catch soon release that second prewind to get you back to your riding stance and the board back in the direction you want to go. the biggest difficulty is speed. but if you have super hard wheels like bones spf if you can find somewhere with skatelite or a similar slippery surface that you feel your wheels have very little grip on that can be a great spot to practice powerslides at low speed with little risk. i initially learned powerslides on a linoleum plaza floor. ice can also work well for getting the body mechanics and muscle memory down. but once on concrete its all about speed

lean all the way forward and jump a little but you need a decent bit of speed for the slide

Your wheels will make a difference when you start to learn but when you get good you can do it on really any wheels what wheels you ride so I can give tips

light pressure lead foot, swing rear out sideways and squat slightly and do that fast and return to standard stance before needing a 1st aid kit
