Shorty, is this only doable in derby skates (flat, ankle boots etc.) or is the idea the same in park skates like Bont Parkstars/and or artistic skates?
This is a great video! But question: Any recommended wheels for this?? I've got Airwaves wheels and they are really sticky! so I'm worried my skate will just dig in and I'll go flying 😂
So wheel hardness depends on the surface you skate. If Airways are outdoor wheels (87a) then I would not recommend trying this move with them. I'm on 101a but the concrete is also quite grippy. The higher the number durometer the more slick wheels are. So if you have a grippy floor you need a harder wheel. If you have a slippery floor then softer wheel is needed.
So happy you're uploading, I've been searching for exactly this but most videos are like 15 yo! ❤
Well I'm glad I made it!
muchas gracias por volver y gracias por este video es lo mas dificil para mi .miedo practicare
Just take it slow and build up would confidence. This move is very much about confidence.

Definitely doable in a boot skate. I poweslide in my Moxi Jacks!
Yes it's possible in Parkstars and skates with a heel. But you still want to think about pushing through the heel when you do a powerslide.
Ugh! I hear that flat on the wheel! Nevertheless, I always wanted to learn this! Thanks for these tips!
I was testing prototype wheels and an few powerslides in... 😅

Is it possible to use this way to stop on rough trails/streets, where there are a little rocks?
I wouldn't recommend it. A turn around toe stop is safer.
