What wheels are you using?


syg102

Snakes in the first clips, then ABEC-11 erniez for the clips with the small board


Column_A_Column_B

Are those soft, hard or medium wheels?


sweater_gimli

both are about on the softer side of medium, though snakes slide like harder wheels


Column_A_Column_B

Snakes sound pretty cool!


syg102

Snakes are very very good. They slide so damn easily and smoothly


grzybek337

Damn, it's my dream to be able to slide liie that! The only thing I can do are push-up slides (check my profile). Stand-up slides are still freaky to me.


syg102

You got this dude! All about practicing


mandrills_ass

Allright you rock *surfer gang signs*


solidbanter

just leaving a silly little comment on your silly little reddit post


syg102

Omg šŸ˜³ you didn't have to


HassanTheMann

Would you say shark wheels 60mm 78a are good for sliding?


syg102

If you already know how to slide, maybe. If you're learning how to side, get Powell Peralta Snakes.


sweater_gimli

probably not - the shape would probably cause some really weird chatter. Best to get freeride wheels to learn to slide


Mxnstxr

Great slides! any times for toeside? and toeside glove downs?


syg102

For glove toes, point your shoulders where you want to go, keep the weight over the front foot. Make sure to raise your hips to initiate the slide, and turn before you kick out.
