made this video a year ago and just now decided to post it. enjoy i'm using a landyachtz 38" dropcat longboard link to the video mentioned in the beginning- • Learn to Slide Your Lo...
Only seven days ? Good shit dude ! I just learned 180’s and power slides myself on my longboard, though it took me wayyy longer than you haha.. 😅 if anybody is having issues with stand ups a good pointer that helped me was learning nose and tail pivots in all directions and also being comfortable riding switch. Heel side and toe side slides make more sense now for my muscles and body if that makes any sense lol.
Congrats dude, not only did you achieve it, but you did on a board that wasn't even made for sliding which makes it A LOT harder haha. I recommend getting a stiff board with rounded lip wheels. When I first started to learn how to slide I did the same thing, the board I had wasn't that different from the one you're using. Sometime later I got me a Landyachts Switchblade and this baby slide like a dream!
Totally inspired 🙏 I give up too quickly through frustration. Really shows the required discipline and time to commit to this skill and many others like it. 🤘
Hell yeah boiiii congrats!! I’m about to learn this slide and you hyped me up for it thank you!! Also you should totally do an update video on what kind of things you’re doing now👀👀!
Good vid.. Great vid. Good commentary too and put your ego aside to knock it out. I'll use this video as i learn, so I won't feel like quitting after hitting the pavement. Think i'll wear every king of protection i can find. Peace man!
You actually got me more interested in learning this trick. I can 180 switch step on either goofy or regular foot. That's about my own trick right now.
Congrats bro! Dedication pays off. I’m on my way right now to go try it lol. Btw nice spot! I would like to find one like that. Wide and not too many people around to see me falling 😂😂
I'm sure the chalk on the floor helped. May want to try that more wherever you go. I have a landyachtz 38 as well great board. Great mastering your move.
Took me 3 days, with one day lasting 8 hours. That was just to do my first one, which was far from perfect. Took some time to master it and be able to do it on command.
Thank you so much for posting this. I recently bought a dinghy as my first board. I've been trying to learn how to slide to stop without ruining my shoes lol. I went out for my first day and did exactly the same as you... aggresive turns that got me nowhere. Any major tips you have for actually getting the board to slide?
The main thing is to keep most of your weight on your front foot because if there’s too much weight on the part you’re trying to slide, it’s not gonna budge anywhere. Combine that with swinging your torso in the direction you wanna slide and you should get it no time :). It can be scary at first but you can do it
@@jaydawg1504 yeah a good beginner slide wheel is narrow contact patch, stone ground/no skin and rounded lips. Yours look like they meet the narrow contact patch criteria but not the other two haha. At least if you learn on the more difficult wheel/s you can slide anything after!
Man all you have the drop cat? It's me or the drop cat for what I saw on the video it's slightly lighter than de drop hammer?. I know and it's obvious in the slow motion clips. That it has more flex than the drop hammer. ( I own one). The closest slide that I did its carving too hard sometimes its slides but didn't know what a was doing hahaha. I think its too hard for beginners in a longboard with those type of wheels to slide. I know they are designed to go fast and have lot of stability and confort at riding. But I think to make slide on those wheels are for experienced riders. Because of the weight and shape. I searched lot of info and the advantages of that type of wheels in slides is the linearity of the slide. But they are little bit more heavier than smaller wheels.
We all have a day like day 5 unfortunately mine was when I injured myself, its sometimes about knowing when to just leave it and come back another day.
Bro I have a 31 inch cruiser(TKP) and 36 inch longboard(RKP) which one do you think is a better start for sliding? mostly want to control speed skating downwards. thanks in advance!
Whichever board is more stiff and try to get 80a-83a wheels they are better for sliding. This guy learned how to slide on a very flexible board which is harder than it looks. So it's really up to you if you wanna take a challenge or not.
The trick is to really put most of your weight on your front foot (the pivot point) because if too much weight is on the back foot, it’s not gonna budge from the ground. Also swing your upper torso as well :)
@@jaydawg1504 I bought my first longboard mid of august. By the first week of september I learned the 180. Your video was my main source of education on the matter. So thanks a Lot!
You be tripping bro
I know I be trippin all the time

Love the video sounds effects, amazing job sliding in only 7 days on such a flexy board

I have the drop cat 38 and the problème is not the board but the wheels.

Its rare you find little longboard progression videos that are actually funny, niiiice
congratulations on your perseverance man!, you nailed it.

Dude I'm in the same boat. I can't slide my board mind you I am 46 and 255lbs but it's taking me forever. Congratulations on perfecting it I'm jealous
Thanks for such a great, inspiring video!
Bruh, the dedication is REAL, nice Video :D
Hi guys I'm actually his brother And JJ if you are seeing this hello
Good vid.. Great vid. Good commentary too and put your ego aside to knock it out.
I'll use this video as i learn, so I won't feel like quitting after hitting the pavement. Think i'll wear every king of protection i can find.
Peace man!
Well done bro. That was very encourging
Awesome video! 💯 Love the progression and dedication! I have a Carver bean bag surfskate but I want a long board like yours.
You actually got me more interested in learning this trick.

I just got my pucks on and next week im dedicating to my 180 progression. Awesome job!
Congrats bro! Dedication pays off. I’m on my way right now to go try it lol. Btw nice spot! I would like to find one like that. Wide and not too many people around to see me falling 😂😂
Haha, awesome :D Today is my DAY 1. It was scary... Now I see I should give it another try, thanks for your inspiring video!
the sound effects were solid haha. congrats on getting it down!
Thanks! I put a lot of effort into the sounds :’)
I'm sure the chalk on the floor helped. May want to try that more wherever you go. I have a landyachtz 38 as well great board. Great mastering your move.
Ppl make it look soo ez. Ur probably sliding like crazy now. Nice. 🤘😎
Nice vid cover jay 💀 also very talented great job :)
Well done
god i needed to see this. i’m at your day 2 but it’s been a lot longer than 2 days 😂
Nice job🤙🏽
Stiffer board helps as well as a 20 degree base plate on rear.
Keep pushing!! :)
inspiring

good shit man
why is this entertaining?
Ps congrats 👍
Hey I've got the same board! Now I've gotta give this slide a try Lmao

If you had Powell snakes you'd have done this day one (probably)
Yeah so I just learned that my stock wheels aren’t good for sliding 😂

Wow 😳
Make more videos like this!

Just came back from trying it. Way harder than it seems. What would you say it’s the secret dude?
Красавчег!
love me a reverb bruh
b r u h
Loved the clickbait👌👌
Oh yes. I’m aware ppl falling catches attention
Nice, same board as me. Is it fully stock? Thos plonking wheels seem SO grippy to me. You’ve given me faith lol. I need to get on my board!
Yup it’s full stock lolz. If I could do it, you can
Nice Progress!
And the editing is also great!
The wheels might have made this a little harder than it should be :D

Great work! How did you get past the point of rotating 90 degrees and getting bucked off?
The trick is to really put most of your weight on your front foot (the pivot point) because if too much weight is on the back foot, it’s not gonna budge from the ground. Also swing your upper torso as well :)
Also really turn before your initiate the slide, makes 180 come naturalaly
☝🏼❤️👈🏽
Awesome video! How long have you been longboarding before trying this trick?
Let’s see, i was in 11th grade in this vid and I’ve been boarding since like 7th. This was the first “trick” I learned in that time span
@@jaydawg1504 I bought my first longboard mid of august. By the first week of september I learned the 180. Your video was my main source of education on the matter. So thanks a Lot!
I would recommend different wheels
good job I'm pretty sure if you practice on a hill you would have learned faster than you think but maybe you live in a flat place.
What kind of wheels were you using?
Bro what parking lot did u go to!
It was some church parking lot lol
Worry about phones, but... were is the helmet?
Easy hawgs instead of plow kings would have made learning sliding way easier.
How fast you going on the board
I just kinda went as fast as I could before I did I spin, and I also went in the direction the wind was blowing
is this on stock wheels?
Yessir. These are the plow kings that came with the board
@@jaydawg1504 was always told those wheels r not suitable for slides...
@@jitsiongkoh5559 lol I had no clue. Maybe that’s why it took me a while to finally slide them
hallo, what kind of wheels?
They’re 72 mm plow kings
Swing ur arms bro
Is it advisable to practice slide on a slope or even just on plain pavement?
I always practice new slides on a slope, just make sure it’s not too steep for your comfort level! :)
@@Erika-gz9cp I see. The reason i think is because you could slide better if you have enough speed?
Try harder duro wheels with less contact patch it Wil slide easier
