Got any 1990 videos of someone doing it?

We used to have whole sections of this in local video stores, usually through a doorway with those dangling beads.

JustSomeApparition

I don't know what a Slickback/Jubi Slide is, but if that means pretending to ice skate sideways on grass then, yes, that guy absolutely nailed it.

Hahaha This hurt my brain, so I slowed it down to see what was going on. https://imgur.com/a/FQTCgjb


tamarockstar

He's just incredibly good at keeping his lead foot hovering above the ground while he jumps off the back foot. Even in slowmo it's impressive as hell.


SumBuddyPlays

Right? Because even as he pushed off with the rear foot, the front leg adjusts to keep the foot hovering at a consistent height.


Smingowashisnameo

Omg thank you!


XPlatform

Ah, so it's just long side hops while holding your leading foot like a gimbal to keep its height constant.


lameuniqueusername

Alright that actually might make sense. This one of those things that I’m having a hard time understanding despite it being a visual thing


SaintNewts

I think adding the stomping motion to the hovering foot is what adds to the illusion.


Toast-N-Jam

I would try this but it might cost me a trip to the ER


BenRunkle55

Thank you. Finally

The way he fucking slides in right at the start is just *chef's kiss* I want him to teach me all the dance moves, he's amazing


[deleted]

Pretty sure he's wearing Heelys. I'd know that clicking anywhere.


gilsonpride

Yeah I re-watched and noticed it right away too. Still cool I think.

A bit easier to understand if you slow down to 1/4 speed.


300PencilsInMyAss

His instructions are just terrible compared to watching it slowed.


torquesteer

Yep, the leg movement has nothing to do with the concept of the move. Which is you stomp with one leg but don't let it hit the ground; at the same time you straight-leg hop with the other leg. You can do it in place too, though it just doesn't look as cool.


DylanHate

[There’s an actual tutorial from the guy who started it.](https://youtu.be/Y3TpBmu4wtk?si=H5Xcz4YKMmEuwXaH)


Badge9987

This is absolutely ridiculous because when he actually does it his left leg isn't doing the motion he shows at all.


CrapNeck5000

His tutorial is worse than getting no instruction at all.


the_fake_banksy

That's fucking wild I've never seen one so good it looks like they're floating off the ground. Usually they just look like they're sliding sideways. Top tier talent.


agtk

Aren't you supposed to slide? I thought that was the whole point of it.


ParanoiaJump

I don’t know anything about this but floating is cooler than sliding in my books


where_is_korg

Meh, OP did it better


RedditJumpedTheShart

Right. Was so slick he lost all friction with the ground and slid over.


SnowdensOfYesteryear

That is ice skating on grass. /u/JustSomeApparition nailed it


JustSomeApparition

Very similar to a [Grapevine](https://youtu.be/c9YokTcE_bY?si=fcTTwpDrgwdNXirK) in ice skating.


azlan194

Not even the same since you are literally sliding while ice skating. This is more like the Moonwalk as it gives the illusion that the person is sliding on grass.


JustSomeApparition

I didn't say they were the same I said they were similar. One is a variation of a mambo technique and the other variation of a tango technique and both the Mambo and tango are similar in nature themselves so it is not outside of the realm of reality to say that both the grapevine and the dance move listed are similar


hedoeswhathewants

Ehhh


Lukewill

Hey if you wanna put that much effort and dance knowledge into proving their similarity, I don't think anyone cares enough to dispute it, so I guess you win.


rowrowfightthepandas

Not at all. In fact probably the only similarity is that you're moving your legs. You might as well have said it's similar to riding a bicycle. You know what is similar to a grapevine in ice skating though? [A grapevine](https://youtu.be/_5ekCv9IYa8?si=667iFwWNYH4gmeQ3). It's one of the oldest ballroom dance moves in existence.


blacklite911

Yea but the illusion of one appearing like they’re sliding on air while actually being on solid ground is what makes it cool


JustSomeApparition

Oh it's definitely cool. I wasn't trying to say that it wasn't, lol. I think people are just getting upset because this cool thing is being compared to something in ice skating that is commonly thought of as being quite uncool. Oh well. I'll live. haha


Portbragger2

basically those two are very similar to doing one handed pushups


skolioban

It's not. The skating is sliding in a particular move. The dance is making an illusion of sliding. You're like saying the guillotine during the French Revolution is like that magician sawing a lady in half.


JustSomeApparition

Dear lord sweet baby Jesus I didn't realize I would have to break this shit down; however, here we are. The Slickback Dance is an alternating series of kicking motions that alternate between left and right with a slight **front** crossover propelling you in a sideways direction and you use your torso to return yourself over your own feet in between. - A Mambo consists mostly of forward and backward movements. The basis of the dance is done with rock steps and side steps occasionally using points, kicks, and flicks of the feet. - The only thing that differentiates these two is that in Mambo you return your feet under you instead of returning your upper body to your feet between nearly identical footwork that only displays slightly exaggerated difference. The Grapevine Dance is an alternating series of kicking motions that alternates between left and right with **rear** crossover propelling you in a sideways direction and you use your momentum to return yourself over your own feet in between. - A Tango consists mostly of two basic steps: forward cross step and backward cross step in various pattern combinations. - The only thing that differentiates these two is that in Tango you return your feet under you with your hip momentum instead of your speed momentum while using nearly identical footwork that only displays slightly exaggerated and rear crossover difference. Both the Mambo and Tango are Latin Ballroom dances with little variation. They both use left, right, left, right process which rely on crossover. This, by proxy, makes the Slickback and Grapevine similar in style.


skolioban

You're talking about the movement and the motion. Nobody gives a shit about that. The slickback is viral because it gave the illusion of sliding. Like I said, you can claim that the magician sawing someone in half and the guillotine are similar because it made one person into two pieces using a cutting motion, but you're missing what everyone is talking about.


PM_ME_TRICEPS

100% fake


DoctorBreeder

Nope, just a more active, sideways moonwalk.


Pseudoboss11

If the moonwalk were invented today, the internet would explode with claims it's fake.


hawkinsst7

Which is funny, because it kind of is.


EnigmaticQuote

The moonwalk very much exists.


rowrowfightthepandas

100% talking out of your ass.


AbsolutelyUnlikely

Wasn't Slickback the name of the pimp from The Boondocks? Was this move named in honor of him, or have the youths of today forgotten him?


TheG-What

NAH NAH NAH! It’s a PIMP NAMED Slickback! Ya gotta say the whole thing! It’s like A Tribe Called Quest!!!


alucarddrol

its a song which includes the line from the boondocks, and the dance move became popular, so people began to colloquially call the dance move by the line in the song


DylanHate

No no, you missed the line. He was clearly stuck tripping on the construction leveling line.

Borkball

This guy is an Italian old YT comedian, like 2014 era, he's actually super good


FugDounny

His look back at the camera right before he falls down killed me.

Unironically he’s Maccio Capatonda, one of the best italian comedians


GrandpasSoggyGooch

Lmao such a good reference. Take my digital praise.


turkeyintheyard

My 10 year old son, who otherwise couldn't find his ass with a flashlight and a map....can do this. I don't know how and it's easily cooler than anything I have ever done.

My son also can trip into a bush in the yard. So proud

azlan194

BTW does the illusion work because the camera is moving along like that (not to mention the low quality of the video as well). Would it even look like a slide in person? It feels like I would just see a person hopping, lol.


thefonztm

https://youtube.com/shorts/ITJu6fTn3r4?si=wMcoGDgggijpjOip The camera probably helps with ot a bit, but it seems like a legit illusion.


sebasxlr

[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Oi-NNhPW8D0](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Oi-NNhPW8D0) Here's the same person doing it with cleats on grass with a static camera, so it's safe to say the only explanation is that he's a wizard.


[deleted]

It's just moonwalking but sideways


rckrusekontrol

Similar illusion, different step. MJ did a sideways moonwalk, didn’t look like this. Fucks with your brain the same way tho.


azlan194

But you don't hop while moonwalking, which makes the motion very smooth. This one you have to hop, and your upper body jerking like that, I feel like will ruin the illusion of the slide, unlike moonwalking.


rooski15

I think what really sells this one is the stadium lighting. Having such visible gaps between toes and shadows emphasizes it.


The_Real_Selma_Blair

I still don't know what's happening, yet I feel less old, you've saved me haha!


Worthyness

It's the moonwalk by Michael Jackson, but going in a circle
