Derek Parra Slidboarding

this is the youtube version of a video I made for my website, www.andrewlove.org/blog, it shows Olympic gold medalist Derek Parra working as a coach with a young inliner skater, on the slideboard

Derek has always been one of the best technicians on wheels and blades. We are lucky to be able to learn bits and pieces from him!

One of the best inline skaters ever, this guy was a true champion

its a smooth board where you can practice your skating technique, as you can see.
you can make one yourself but i dont know how to say that in english, im dutch so cant tell you...
but if you search the internet you should be able to find it

.thanks for the reply but I am interested in knowing what kind of and the manufacturer of the parabolic shaped slide board to the right of Derek

[@sevobuck]

What kind of slide board is perpendicular and to the right of Derek in the first clip of this video?

[@1996bass]

Could you please clarify his influences so I could look them up ie. Odney ? Johnny Roman. Thanks
