Will it skim?...

I have only seen images of this tail slide (with the board vertical) being done on twin-tips. Does anyone know if it is translatable to skim - and how it might work? It seems do-able - but I am not sure how to initiate. Any advice is appreciated:

Not that I've ever tried this on a skim... just physics: you would have to position your feet at the very extremes of the board. That is a bit awkward I guess.

Thanks for posting - it def helps to see the motion. I assumed that it would need to be done in the apex of a turn - but the video shows otherwise. Will give it a try next time out and report back.
