Yamerooo YESS

@@jaseinight6386 Yamero? bro either u dont know what that means or i dont know what ur saying bc Yamero is stop in japanese

Sorry, most of our in-house riders are part of the Goof Troop :/

Goofy is where it's at bro!

I really feel that, i know more goofy riders than "regular"

@@LoadedBoards goofy gang goofy gang goofy gang goofy gang

sector 9 makes some pretty sick hand leathers, mine have lasted me a good 2 years so far

Go for it! But be careful, that hill is fast and very slippery! Also, the Park Rangers are cool enough to let you get about two full runs in, afterwards they will politely kick you out

Thanks, I was thinking about just practicing these slides near the bottom of the hill. I don't think the parking garage gives me enough speed to Coleman. But a toeside 180 is no problem. My technique might be off

You would want about a 70/30 split weight distribution. 70% of your weight should be shared between your front foot and your hand, while 30% is still on your back foot.

You can slide with any wheels but softer wheels - like your road grippers - are more grippy and less slidey.

What do you think Shawn White would tell you?

Longboards tend to need more speed to do proper slides, meaning that there is a lot more momentum to carry you forward and draw out your slides. This, coupled with the longer wheelbases, makes for near constant rotation of the wheels during a slide. A flatspot occurs when you slide at a perfect 90° angle, causing the wheel to stop spinning and just sit there while being ground down into the ground. Since skateboards have shorter wheelbases, drawing out long slides without holding the board at 90° is trickier since the board reacts quicker to little movements. The longer wheelbases of longboards forces the rider to shift their weight slower, allowing for a more gradual curve in the slide, which in turn keeps the wheels spinning for longer. If you can keep your board and wheels from hitting that 90° angle, then you can avoid flatspots. Try pushing out your slides to about 45° since this is the optimal angle for sliding and keeping the wheels rotating at the same time. Hope this helps!

@@LoadedBoards ty my long board bros. prob saved me a new set of wheels!

That's a great approach to life. Courtesy goes a long way.

Most definitely! Slide gloves aren't meant to only be used with a single board type. They just allow you to do slides that would usually tear up your hands!

Either wheelbase will work, but a shorter wheelbase can be easier for some people to learn on. The Loaded Overland has an in-between wheelbase of what is considered short and long. Since the Overland is a Topmount board, you can place your feet directly on top of the trucks to making sliding easier for you. At first it will feel like you are simply doing a pivot maneuver, but the sensation of swinging your body and board around will get you comfortable with the motion, which you can then try on longer and faster slides. A key component of sliding is having enough speed to the point where the board and your momentum do most of the work and it doesn't require too much physical effort on your part.

thank u very much, bebeboi :-*

If you're worried wear a lid, good slide gloves, pads on elbows & knees, roller-derby pants and put on thick clothes. Even wear an overall so you don't worry about your shirt being pulled up if you're on your back. Maybe even borrow some MTB body armour. Then get out and try stuff, fall over, cock it up and you'll realise it's not as scary. Try to learn to slide on gloves, knee-pads & shoes when it goes wrong. Keep practicing & peeling the layers, you learn to both slide & deal with falls. Your confidence will come if you push yourself and invest time trying. The falling will drop off and the magic of board control will kick in. Just don't be tempted to go without your helmet, knee pads or gloves - there lies a route to pain & regret. Best of luck.

Abel luque If u can learn pendulums you technically already should have the capability to do a predrift as long as you take the corner right.. I also think this vid is just trying to help with free riding just on a straight road not around corners and stuff but idk man. Lol they title these things beginner/basic slides when 360 is something that takes a lot of practice, kind of triggered

The Fat Free. Orange has the smoothest initiation into a slide, but slows you down quickly. Yellow has a bit more abrupt initiation into a slide, but slides much further. Purple is right in the middle. Most of our riders seem to enjoy using Orange Fat Frees the most since they roll smooth and flow in and out of slides so easily!

D3LTA_W0LF and how soft/hard?

You CAN let your momentum carry the slide for you, but as you get more experienced and used to the sensation of sliding, you will be able to do micro-adjustments by kicking your back leg out to slide more and control your speed and direction better!

LoadedNewsletter thankyou that helps

You are starting to understand the subtleties of Taz and Justin...

LoadedNewsletter it’s funny tho

epic

It's a chart that shows the ideal board/wheel combinations. Also holds our deepest secrets.

I would like to see this chart.

@@LoadedBoards is that a sword??? MADE OUT OF DECK????

Oh, okay. Duh. So google longboard and that specific model will come up, right? No. I wanted the model, but already found it. Using your logic the model name of my vehicle is...car. 🧐

30% perhaps, as you start doing more of them you can mix it up. Different weight distribution provides a different feeling while sliding. Fun stuff!
