About Sliding
skateboard trick sliding, is when a rider pulls his board out and gets it so the wheels are not gripping the pavement and can be freely. There are several ways it can be done,there are:
1. Heelside: When you put your arm out behind you spinnign in a counter clockwise motion.
2. Toeside: When you put your hand(s) on the pavement in the direction your toes are headed and spin the deck in a clockwise motion (It goes clockwise because with the friction in front of you you are forced in that direction.
Slides can be used for many reasons.
1. To stop very quickly: Often you will be bombing a hill when a kid walks out into the road or a car pulls out and you dont have enough room to footbrake. When you slide your speed will decrease rapidly depending on the hills grade.
2. For tricks: Sliding is also very fun to do. There are many different slides like there are different tricks on a shortboard. Some include Pendulum, Boneless, Colemen etc.
3. To show off: As your flying down a road you see some chick walking her dog. Figure the extreme speeds and sense of uncontrole will make her totaly dig you? Well it will. Just dont hit her.
To do a slide you should start with a 180 degree coleman. you must be committed to do slide
- First get a moderate speed with your longboard skateboard.
- Next bend down and get ready to grab the side of the board that is infront of you.
- You will want too lean as far back as you can without flipping over and put your other hand on the pavement (You will have gloves. I will explain later) and put most of your weight on your hand. You will be whipped around.
- As soon as you do the 180 pull your hand off and stand back up.
- WELL DONE!! YO DID IT DOOD..
This will take lots of practice to get perfectly but once you get it, it will stick.
