@@sarahb4038 lmao when I turned the board 180 it gripped so hard I ate shit. Then I tried it in the rain unintentionally and it slid so hard I ate shit again
@@JackCoeMtb remove them from your board and take out all bushings and washers. Then drop them from around hip height. The higher they bounce, the softer they are. Wheel hardness is measured in durometer (a) so a 78a wheel would be much softer than something like a 99a wheel.
Thank you for giving a thorough explanation of how to do power slides, instead of those 3 minute videoes where they just tell you to move your shoulders and look cool. This really gives me a much better idea of how to do them! Thanks!
I didn't quite have time to try it but I actually managed to do a backside powerslide yesterday using your tips, I've been trying to figure it out for over a year :-D
Mathias Justesen No way man! That's rad. Backside powerslides are definitely tricky, but they are so worth the effort. Really great job man, I'm happy for you!
Decided I’d start learning how to skate since I don’t have a bike or anything. I think that once I’m comfortable on my board I’ll come back to this because this channel seems to explain things really well
I'm a seasoned skater, but I'm helping my 9 yr. old get his fundamentals down, and I'm always looking into how others teach and explain key moves to help me out. Your level of detail and explanation on this one is excellent and super helpful. Thank you!
Hands down best powerslide trick tip I've seen!! Great job man!!! I already know how to do frontside powerslides pretty well but I have been looking for tips on doing them backside. This will help me tremendously. Especially the tip for backside powerslides that you mentioned regarding leaning over your toes more until you can dial it in! If I didn't know how to do frontside powerslides either this would have been a great trick tip vid to watch to have me learn em!!!!
Thanks, this is a very thorough tutorial! You are definitely a very good teacher. Saw on Linkedin you are a software dev. I don't know if you are going that route, but I am sure you would be a good team leader.
this helped allot i could get the motion but i would always fall forward because i wasn't going fast enough i finally got them after watching this video thank you
This video is really helpful! But there's one important thing that I found to be missing after I finally managed a powerslide: to pull your board back in, you have to unweight it again by crouching down, and pull in your shoulders and legs really forcefully. I practice pretty slowly on bad concrete; it's probably less noticeable when you have more speed. But if you find that your powerslides always bring you to a complete stop (or you fall off after getting 90 degrees), this might be your problem. EDIT: Turns out my bearings were super busted. If you find it difficult to keep momentum, you, too, may have busted bearings.
I bombed so many hills and fell a few times because I just started and didn't know how to powerslide but went for it anyways. It was still a lotta fun and I didn't get hurt too much so I don't regret it. I guess there's some benefits to being a brave idiot.
Great tutorial Justin! I have one question.. how are you able to powerslide on the road? The road looks really really rough and I can't wrap my head around how people are able to powerslide on such a rough surface! My wheels are 100A but even I cant seem to powerslide on a basketball court surface
It has a lot to do with believing it's going to work, committing to the trick with enough speed, and especially picking your weight up off of the board by bending down and springing up right as you start sliding the wheels. To get the hang of it, I'd recommend starting out on something way smoother than a basketball court (they're usually too rough like sandpaper), and you need to get some good practice slides in before you try it on the more difficult surfaces. Best of luck, and practice practice!
Another great video but I keep having an issue rotating my back foot I feel like I am twisting more with my front foot while doing frontside power slides. What do you recommend?
You were talking about using a 99a wheel. So fun fact about durometer. The ASTM (standards body who governs stuff like the shore durometer scale) recommends moving to a different scale if you take a reading below 10 or above 90. Skateboard wheel companies know that skaters want harder wheels and that bigger numbers will sell more wheels if the skater is uninformed. I would love there to be more honesty in the market, but such is life. Anyway, a 100a is an inaccurate reading due to how the durometer meters work. An accurately measured equivalent would be an 85b. And contrary to what Bones likes to tell people, the difference between the a scale and the b scale is not 20: www.ttequip.com/knowledgelibrary/TechPageShoreDurometerConversionChart.htm I'm glad Bones is helping push people to use the b scale, it makes way more sense for modern skateboard wheels. But it's good to encourage honest ratings so we can make better informed decisions when buying wheels. None of this probably matters to most people, and we'll skate a bunch of different stuff and then buy what we like, which is cool. But maybe some people are interested in this. I hope it helps someone, or maybe helps spread the word to improve the industry.
My legs and feet hurts alottt from skateboarding even just 10 minutes straight , is it just a matter of getting used to skateboard often and my body adapts and lose more weight??
I do live in Austin, and yeah that is one on my favorite shirts =) I go to Mabel Davis SOMETIMES (kind of rarely though), because House Park is a little bit more fun for me, and closer to where I live. Here's a little bit of Mabel Davis footage for you: th-cam.com/video/oXeFHUHY83A/w-d-xo.html
Yeah. I love the park. Since I learned to skate bowl at mabel, pretty much every other park just feels to shallow to me and I like the fact that it has mostly gaps with hips. Also I have a bunch of homies who really only skate at mabel. For me i dont really enjoy house because i dont like the mini half pipe and that its mostly flat ground. Which really sucks for me because almost every skatepark i've ever been to or seen is flat ground orientated.
Justin What's the Name of the park @ 5:45... The Cat skating has a Turquoise Shirt? Wasn't sure if that was you... I have a video of that park but couldn't seem to remember when posting it...
@@NeverStopImprovingSB Thanks for the info... Much Love Bro ... Just saw your New Vid... Keep up the great work, your Vids are entertaining and Helpful... Hope to see you out there One Day...
+Marc Franquesa I'm using pretty much the opposite of longboard wheels, but whatever wheels you have, they'll still work. If you notice that you're getting flat spots on your wheels though (i.e. after you do a powerslide, it sounds like you're riding a motorcycle), you should probably stop powersliding on those (the flat spots will go away after a while on their own just from regular use) and consider getting some wheels with a higher "durometer," which is the unit measure of hardness for skateboard wheels. I personally use 101a durometer wheels in this video and I've never had them get a flat spot.
hey justin , i had a question , for the power slides since they’re so similar to snowboarding as in breaking should i have a easier time doing it ? due to i snowboard
My first year of skateboarding I kept getting confused because "BS" is also the abbreviation for bullshit. So I would always read things at "bullshit [trick]" and would confuse myself so much
I have tried everything on this video and can't get my FS powerslides at all(goofy footed) where should I put pressure? On my front foot or back foot(?)
I have a question, I try now more then 2 Months to push with my back food and I can't do it. I'm falling all the time and when I push with my front food it's much saver for me. But I know that's the stupid way and not the correct art. But I can't do it with my Back food even If I try so hard as I can
I bought my skateboard a long time ago, and idk how hard they are or what brand they are. Is there any way i can determine whether or not learning this will result in flatspots?
+Abdullah Alam I would just do some small/light powerslides or reverts and see if any minor flatspotting happens, and if so, they'll smooth out after riding the wheels for a few days, but then you'll know!
Sorry for the late reply!!! Have you figured out what's been holding you up on your frontside powerslides yet? I was thinking maybe you were having too much weight on your front foot (such that the fix would be to crouch down and spring up more as you begin the powerslide) or that you possibly weren't leaning back enough...
My front wheels keep moving forward and I’m putting all my weight on my front foot, I’ve been skating for 3 years and Haven’t progressed, so ima quit now.
LetsPlayGerman I remember a really long time ago there were a group of boys that went to the same school as me. I would go down a hill on my board and I didn't know how to power slide that way I knew how to stop was just stomping my foot down on the floor. Back to the story I was going down hill one day and this one guy did a powerslide and was turning left and he was sliding really far
I very strongly believe it's because your wheels might be a little too soft (and therefore too frictiony) for sliding when there's no water. Don't freak out though! If you get a trick board one day (or borrow someone else's) it should still work ;)
just a reminder none of you are alone ! God is with you all and he will never leave you . you are loved and accepted by him and that will never change . God bless you all
not at all. practice hard (really hard) turns at semi high speed. for backsides. get yourself kneepads and gardening gloves (steal your moms. you can also steal her plastic cuttingboard and melt parts of it to the gloves) then follow same steps

backside is one of the coolest tricks there is on a skateboard
I agree! Backside powerslides are look so sick 🤙🤙

Is that the Austin skatepark?

really good, helpful tutorial ;)

Was made great thanks!

love this skatepark

Are powerslides ok to learn with 95a wheels?
lol its easier backside for me still can't get front sides
BS tricks are easier than FS for me
Me too but imo backside power slides look better anyway
Then you're probably uncomfortable leaning back, I guess.
Thanks so much.
Are you using longboard wheels? I am not sure if my wheels will work they are 52mm globe skateboarding wheels, what are the best wheels?
+Marc Franquesa I'm using pretty much the opposite of longboard wheels, but whatever wheels you have, they'll still work. If you notice that you're getting flat spots on your wheels though (i.e. after you do a powerslide, it sounds like you're riding a motorcycle), you should probably stop powersliding on those (the flat spots will go away after a while on their own just from regular use) and consider getting some wheels with a higher "durometer," which is the unit measure of hardness for skateboard wheels.

99D or higher is best, if you have those, use them.
What if you can't crouch down that well
Nice video

On your back foot mainly. And you really have to lean back and commit to falling onto your butt if it slides too much

Can you do powerslides/reverts with a 92a wheel?
You CAN, but I wouldn't recommend it because it'll give you flat spots on your wheels. You'll sound like a motorcycle cruising around the skatepark!

I GOT MY FIRST MINI FRONT SIDE POWERSLIDE TODAY
Woohoo! 🎉 Nice work!
Whenever I try to frontside only my back wheels slide and my front wheels don't. It always flings me off my board. Any tips to help me with that?
A visual example is what you did at 1:05 but I am confident that I have enough speed. Maybe it isn't enough?
Sorry for the late reply!!!

Holy crap hes at my homepark house park in austin texad
i have 101a wheels. is that okay for this trick?
those will be absolutely perfect 👍👍
Never Stop Improving thank you so much :)
Can i slide with 78a 60mm wheels ?
I certainly would not recommend doing that. It would ruin your wheels really fast!
a friend of me is so god in powerslides that the wheels of him have corners and sounds like a tractor xD
LetsPlayGerman Lol whenever I hear that noise, I think someone is riding around the skatepark on a motorcycle

I'm guessing I'll die if I try my streets are full of cracks
Someone tell me why I can’t get a stand up power slide down unless the grounds wet??? Whyyyyyyyy
“On a longboard”
I very strongly believe it's because your wheels might be a little too soft (and therefore too frictiony) for sliding when there's no water. Don't freak out though! If you get a trick board one day (or borrow someone else's) it should still work ;)

Am I gonna die?
Your wheels might get a little upset with you 😝

Good explanation BTW im greenlandic
So if i typed wrong sorry
Dont worry man your typing is all good
if you watch very close, you can see how thin his wheels become trough the video

r oxelo wheels alright
my skateboard doesn’t slide at all, when i wind up and go to slide i just turn
yea these vids are tops... backsides are hard lol
what park is this
House park Austin texas
I think that’s the park xqc skated in
People powerslide on long boards all the time. I have doubts that soft wheels will make it impossible.
What happens when you mix Drake and Kid Cudi...
Aadam what happens?
aye housepark
Today i learned to backside powerslide by myself but i cant do frontside😭 i ate shit 3 times too
who else fell doing this
there are no "smooth" ground or skateparks in my town. How fucked am i?
not at all. practice hard (really hard) turns at semi high speed.
for backsides. get yourself kneepads and gardening gloves (steal your moms. you can also steal her plastic cuttingboard and melt parts of it to the gloves) then follow same steps
when frontisde is backside
Backside is way more easier than frontside
For what trick? lol
1:40 in the background. Lol
Lo key better than Braille
Lammmeeee.....
Drake?
He's my dad
NSI Skateboarding [Justin Lauria] champagne pappi 😂😤 all love btw I’m here cuz I’m a noob thanks for the vids
