Keep watching that slide school thing on youtube, focus on one or two slides all day, and just remember what they high lighted in the video.
Might I suggest H/S Coleman and T/S Pendy.
There ones very insightful

instead of placing your hands in between your leg, place your arm behind your back leg and grab infront of your back foot. If that makes sense?
colemans are a good shutdown slide to learn for starters.

Roll your back foot over, so that the inside is on the board and your back knee is lying flat. If you prefer, it doesn't need to be flat, but the objective of this is to stop you from squatting over the deck like you are trying to take a shit, but rather be 'down on the board'. Grab the rail toeside in front of your calf/ankle, not between your legs.
When you learn to coleman without actually grabbing the rail, you will get a better understanding of how your body should be. This is because you aren't actually holding the board with your hands: You're using your body, legs and feet to put it where you want.

I heard somewhere you control which way you're facing with your shoulder... it worked out for me ok, but maybe if someone knows what I'm talkin about could elaborate?
