I know what you're thinking of, it's just not right unfortunately. Whether a slide is frontside or backslide has nothing to do with trucks going over things or direction you're facing on the rail. It's 100% determined by which side of the rail you approach from. In other words it's already set in stone before you even bend down to ollie. Do you know what the difference between a frontside boardslide [LINK] and a frontside lipslide [VIDEO] is? That should tell you everything you need to know. You turn opposite directions to get into them, different trucks go over the rail, and you face different directions during the slide... and none of that matters a bit. They're both frontside because you approached the rail the from the same side. That's all frontside means. Your front was facing the rail before you ollied.
