I’ve started riding again after a long long time and struggling to get my self out of fakies, I’ve managed to hop out a few times and I’ve been trying to slide out and I can’t seem to get it, what would you suggest?

Look over your shoulder when you turn out of the fakie
More speed
If you want to slide all the way around, lean back further to get more weight off the front tire.
Can always just half cab out, never rode with a freecoaster, but every now and then when my chain would break, I’d always leave it off for a few weeks to mess around with a bunch of fakie stuff and got pretty good.
It’s in the hips not the arms. You need to transfer your momentum. You just picked up and turned with the top of your body.
Got ya, I’ll make sure I’m leaning further back in the future!
For sliders, lean back and to the right while turning your bars slightly more than 90 into your slide. And look over your shoulder as others have said.
