How to Lay Down on Your Board in Skate 4: the Secret Input Stunt
By Robert Thorne
The coffin is rarely performed in isolation by veteran players. High-level playtest clips highlight intricate trick chains where skaters transition from massive airs into low-profile slides across urban rooftops and parking garages.
Air coffins require clean vertical clearance. Launching off a mega-ramp, pulling LT + RT + X + A causes your skater to snap flat against the board mid-air, turning an ordinary air into an aerodynamic dive. If you release the face buttons while maintaining trigger pressure, you instantly transition back into standard dual grabs like the cannonball or fingerflip setups before stomping the landing.
Alternatively, dropping out of a coffin onto the ground is simple: release the four-button combo. Your skater pops upright immediately. Tapping down on the right analog stick right as your feet touch the grip tape transitions the exit momentum directly into a high-speed manual, letting you string line bonuses together without resetting your flow.
