Elijah Belmont do you have symetrical trucks? Sometimes understeer from having different turning trucks can buck you off, if not you may just not be putting your weight on your board enough, or putting all your weight on your back foot, which would also cause understeer, always have your weight on the foot facing where you're going, this goes for switch slides as well, I notice sometimes people will go almost on their tip-toes when riding switch, making them super unstable, try putting your weight across your foot evenly, if none of this helps, just try riding switch going super super slow and slowly increasing your speed, you basically have to re-learn and train your mind to ride to skate again, hope it helped, good luck!
PIECE OF ADVICE: If you're a beginner, DO NOT make your first attempt at sliding on a hill! Learned that the hard way today. Start out on flat surfaces and pick up speed to get your form down then try the hills.
I have no idea if you’ll see this, but do you have any advice on this and also an estimated break in period. (I just got a new board with much softer wheels and they are ridiculously grippy)
I feel a lot safer doing squatter slides than stand up heelslides, is this true for others? It also helps me pull off longer slides rather than just finishing off with a 180 too soon.
Many riders agree with you. Squat slides are safer because your falling height is much lower, making for not-so-painful bails. Squat checks also help with holding out long slides because your balance is much easier to manage and it's easy to bring the board back under you without doing a 180. If you want to do even longer slides, try initiating a squat check, but then towards the end of the slide, slowly begin to stand up. This lets you push the board a little further for more distance and also gives you stronger legs! #LegDay
I would love to see you guys doing downhill with electric boards. That would be dope, hitting really high views from your fans. Im watching all of your clips and all of them deserve the highest respect!
I personally recommend that you do a hook with your back arm, and push the back of your board as hard as you can. Bonus tip: I like to have my heels over the edge of my board. You can also practice on an immobile board.
Heyyyy I've got a Pepper Inari. It's actually a 48-inch dancing board and i want to know if it's still possible to slide on this bad boy, and if so what changes do I have to make on the techniques. I really would like to integrate some slides into my dancing.
Thats an awesome board! Big boards like that are tricky to slide since they are so long and require more force to be able to make the wheels break traction. A few tips to help the slides: 1. Loose trucks = more turn = easier initiation into slides 2. Small/round-lipped wheels (i.e. Orangatang Skiffs, Fat Frees) 3. Grip tape! 4. Put your weight forward Loose trucks let you turn more, so its easier to transition your momentum into a slide! Small/round-lipped wheels slide further and easier than big/square-lipped wheels. Grip tape is essential to keep your feet attached to your board! Removing the grip tape makes dancing easier, but makes slides more difficult. So be sure to keep some grip tape under your feet! Focusing your weight on your front foot will make the back wheels slide much easier and faster! It also lets you control your balance and turning, since your front foot is basically "driving" the board! Hopes this helps!
“And that’s when you know… that the light goes out” lmaooo this is like the 3rd video I’ve seen where they have issues with the lights, the last video I watched the lights literally were burning up😭😭😂😂😂
Well alot of people wouldnt comment or say something because of how many people that they think you have to talk to so they think why bother with saying anything also this video explains how to slide really well
Its actually mostly torque from your backwheels that you push against, the twist isnt really enough, the weight distribution, angle of attack and center of mass acceleration is what makes sliding work, think about it, how would a standup pendy work out when done smoothly if the only thing you are doing is twisting your upper body?
Just what i need. I took a long as vacation in Colorado and didn't skate for like 4-5 months ergo I had to relearn everything. Except the coleman slide. that shit's too easy fuck up xD Thanks ma dudes!
I find mid-corner (especially sweepers) stand-up toeside check-sliding (for the purpose of slowing down) to be fairly difficult to initiate because of the lack of the initial setup carve in the opposite direction. Somehow if I force it to happen, it would usually over-rotate into a 180 even if I keep my eyes and shoulders looking down the hill - which means I would highside and bail whenever that happens. Any tips?
Nick Amarit keep your body bent over + crouch and get up as you push out the check, you wanna stay bent over with your upper body counter rotating. If you end up 180ing you might’ve pushed too hard with your back foot. If you highside it could be due to staying too upright. Good luck dude :D
Sorry I'm late but find some with a beveled lip (the one where it curves into the wheel) a smaller contact patch then normal so you can go longer and center set or side set preferably the latter because they lose grip FAST good luck
Get round-lipped, slidey wheels for starters! Also, make sure your trucks can turn a good amount, because that lets you dive into a slide easier. Tight trucks are stable at higher speeds, but having them too tight that you can turn quickly makes it very hard to go into a slide. You would have to compensate by going much faster, in order to get the wheels to break traction. Shorter wheelbase also helps! Longer wheelbases are nice and comfy, but they are harder to push into a slide. A shorter wheelbase gives your more direct control into your wheels and trucks, making slide initiation easier!
Out of the Orangatang Wheels line up, the easiest wheels to slide would be the smaller wheels. Here is a list! 1. 62mm Skiffs - Tiny wheels with a tiny contact patch, allows for effortless slides. Yellow last the longest, Orange slides the easiest, Purple is right in between. 2. 65mm Fat Frees - Off set wheel with a small contact patch. Offset wheels give a "fluffy" slide feel and provide a bit more balance when going sideways, due to the outter edges of the wheel reaching further away from the trucks. Yellow is overall easiest to slide, Orange has the smoothest feel, and Purple is a right in the middle once again. 3. 66mm Keanus - Incredibly durable with a large supportive core that allows for easy rotations to keep the wheel the same size throughout its life span. Orange has the "butteriest" feeling slide, while Yellow provides the furthest slide. Yellow would roll the fastest and last the longest. Hope this helps!
Same principles as a top mount board, except you need to either push into the slide harder, or do a larger radius turn as you enter the slide. Drop decks are very stable and slide very well, but they lack in maneuverability and turning. That is why you have to do a much larger set up carve before the slide. A larger carve before sliding lets you build up tons of momentum to make pushing into the slide easier!
How is it that longboard wheels are soft and they slide but my skateboard wheels are soft and they don't slide? I've grown up skateboarding and always used hard wheels bombing Hills because they slide. I'm thinking about getting a pair of longboard wheels and putting them on my skateboard to try to slide them. What kind of wheel do you recommend?
You can slide with soft wheels on a street deck too. It's just more difficult and technical because the longboard is actually built for speed and stability. It's actually easier to slide street wheels because of how small they are. However, depending on the durometer, the friction coefficient(traction) is always inverse to impulse. The more grip, the less slide, thus requiring more speed and effort to get them sliding. Longboards have the leverage of a wide deck and wide-soft wheels. This gives you a lot of room to really push your body out without losing control, therefore giving you that extra oof to slide at radical speed.
You can litterally do them with no arms used if you balance correctly, slides are actually quite complicated physics problems with a wide range of solutions. Xd
I tried a toe side in front of 2 cops yesterday, absolutely ate shit and they didn’t even get out of their cars lol. I got it after a few tries though. Every skater for himself
You can slide at just about any speed, it will just require more force from the rider. Usually a speed of 10-15mph is enough to get some decent slides out of your wheels!
Fuck it. I have protectors all over my body, but trying standups are crushing my hips. Fucking demoralazing after two falls hitting the same spot on my hip. Practice halted untill I buy a hip protector. ..
Not exactly. Tighter trucks help to keep you stable at higher speeds, but if you make them too tight, your board won't be able to react in time. Getting a good bushing setup can make a huge difference. Usually, people want to use double barrel bushing setups, where the bushing closest to the board is harder than the bushing that sits closest to the road. There are several high quality bushing companies out there like Venom and Riptide. Experiment and see what feels best for you.
From a standing position, crouch down to about as low as you can go, from there you want to stand up quickly, almost jumping off the ground. That series of movements would be the pop-up (standing up from a crouched position) and deweight (the brief moment of levitation you feel). Depending on how hard to do the motion, you will find your wheels will slide easier and with less effort. At the same time, you need to be sure you are focusing on turning your board and rotating your shoulders in the right direction to get the slide you want. But, the pop-up and deweight technique applies to just about any slide out there! Check out our other tutorial on the small details about freeriding and sliding: th-cam.com/video/--34ICM9rU0/w-d-xo.html
I know this video means well but clearly these guys had no idea how to teach sliding. At the very least they didn't take into account the basic longboarder set-up. Im not saying they are bad, just that they shouldn't be teaching people to slide when they already have personalized set-ups to do so and only disappointingly vague explanations on how they do it. For fucks sake they start with 180s without mentioning that you will fuck your shit up if you have straight edge wheels
0:24 180 frontside

kinda a stupid question but with 180s as soon as my board completes the 180 I get bucked off. Any tips?

Omg thanks 😍
I dont have hills where I live is it easier to slide with tight or loose trucks?
Hey please put this in the description
how high are you guys when you film the Taz and Justin part?
yes
4:07 full face and no gloves is a potent combo
When you go to skate some hills... but left your gloves on your desk.

@@Edge-mv3jw get wheels that are 80a or 83a. It’s the durometer of the wheel
@@Edge-mv3jw easier to slide in those wheels
You guys belong in a museum for modern art... lol
Great video. Very inspiring for doing my first slide!
Thanks

How do you "pop up" and "deweight"?
From a standing position, crouch down to about as low as you can go, from there you want to stand up quickly, almost jumping off the ground.
