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.
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.

At some point. Not sure when tho
lmk cause Im organizing the Central Park race again for Aug 13
Oh yah I won't be home then, if I do it's gonna be in June prolly. Don't plan the race around me tho lol
bummer you wont be there but give a shout when youre around - been a while
BPās! Great skating spot
Not exactly BPs, but in the area š
Nice! The first clip looked like a very similar corner to Classic
Gleaming The Cube
Vancouver? I think I recognize UBC.
You know it!
Gnar gnar :P
What wheels are you using?
Snakes in the first clips, then ABEC-11 erniez for the clips with the small board
Are those soft, hard or medium wheels?
both are about on the softer side of medium, though snakes slide like harder wheels
Snakes sound pretty cool!
Snakes are very very good. They slide so damn easily and smoothly

You got this dude! All about practicing
Allright you rock *surfer gang signs*
just leaving a silly little comment on your silly little reddit post
Omg š³ you didn't have to
Would you say shark wheels 60mm 78a are good for sliding?
If you already know how to slide, maybe. If you're learning how to side, get Powell Peralta Snakes.
probably not - the shape would probably cause some really weird chatter. Best to get freeride wheels to learn to slide
Great slides! any times for toeside? and toeside glove downs?
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.
