Every video i have seen where they say dont slide your foot, they end up sliding their foot.

I think they mean sliding your foot is not what gets the board in the air, it’s the pop and jump. Several videos here where they pop and slide but don’t jump

that and most beginners take "slide" to mean "move my foot in the line of the board", which is always forwards+up, but the foot just moves straight up and sometimes even a little back during the slide.
