Sounds like you've never ridden a skateboard or done so for only a very short time.


That's my guess. You just plant one foot on the back, lean backward and Scraaape you're stopped.


There is no tail on this longboard, so that is impossible.


That's true for this board, but I was responding to the general statement:

Wasn't the context "unexpected braking"?
