Just a smol tip from my (somewhat limited tbf) experience is that you don't want to slide 90° towards the bottom of the hill. A lot of people try to swing their board out to fully perpendicular to the bottom of the hill when doing speed checks, and that will lock your wheels up and send you over toe side and is scary as hell. Make sure you keep some kind of angle, so your wheels are still rolling forward as you're sliding. c: Great vid, btw. Nice and simple, like it should be.

this is super helpful for people who just want to cruise safely and aren’t interested in downhill or freeride! maybe consider putting “speed check” in your description for that audience (me lol)

I've been looking for a video like this for a while, thanks!

Dude honestly, this has been *THE ONE VIDEO* I've been looking for. This is so helpful, as I've got a cruiser pin tail with 78a wheels, and I can get the tiniest slide, but wanted something with a bit more give. The other videos, as you pointed out, didn't quite give me the advice I was looking for

Amazing content as usual guys. I'm a noob and only been longboarding for 2 months but your videos have really helped. Short, informative and really well shot and produced. Love from the UK guys. Keep it up.

I love your content. I just bought a cruiser and decided to give my old reliable longboard a bit of a rest after years of just riding. It's time to nail some tricks and I have you to thank for that. Your YT is both entertaining and informative and this new Santa Cruz is about to get put through her paces. Keep the content coming bro. You have a new sub from me for sure!

I have a crusier w 78a, and this is what I was looking for! Thank you so much guys :)

My dinghy is supposed to arrive on Friday. I have experience on a traditional skateboard but not anything with thicker wheels that has potential for higher speeds. So I'm glad I came across this, will definitely be practicing this right away

I just started surf skating on a dinghy and I have been inadvertently learning this from just carving around. Very cool!

I love these kinds of videos that teach you how to do stuff Especially when it’s shred shack it makes it so much better I love the high qualityness and the straight to the point nature

Thanks a lot for doing this video. I'm a recent returner to skateboarding and have the Arbor Pilsner cruiser. I'm learning what should be possible on a cruiser and what to expect, and this video and your review of the Pilsner have been helpful.

This video is specific and exactly what I needed, great content 👍🏼

This was an awesome video as someone who’s been trying to learn to powerslide with some softer wheels

This channel is one of the things that got me into skating recently and I've been looking for a video like this as I've gotten more comfortable cruising, but wanted to have more options for controlling my speed other than just carving.

I started longboarding 2 months ago. I have 76A wheels and I can only powerslide with some considerable speed. Keep up the great work. Greetings from Portugal.

This is great! Been looking to learn exactly how to do this.

Thanks for making this video. It makes since how challenging it is on soft wheels. I plan to change my wheels

52k your doing great man, 250 gang here to support you.

Was hyped for this video drop! Thanks for the tips!

I love this! Definitely something I've been meaning to learn. Thanks bros.

Good job mate, I was wanting to learn how to do this. Was very helpful. Keep it up!!

love the wholesome vibes at the end of the video

I started skating almost two months ago. The streets in New York can be rough so for cruising around the neighborhood i got me some 80a bone wheels. The thing is the area where i live is rather "hilly" so i find myseld picking up speed fast!! Scary AF. This video came in handy. Will try some powerslides down my friendly neighborhood hill, Thanks!!

Thanks for this quick tip. A longer video on this topic would be great to watch.

Yesss, thats what i needed! Thank you!!!

I needed this so much in my life

this is the first video that demonstrated on how to powerslide on soft wheels. i had different duro wheels as such 78a, 86a, 99a and i couldnt really slide on 78a and a little bit on 86a. well done on this video! 😀

A video worth sitting through all the ads. Very helpful and now I need to find 83A wheels. I think Orangutang makes a nice set.

we call those speed-checks. is that correct? when your background is mostly carving, you cant help but learn those

I have been looking everywhere for a "how to slide cruiser board" videos but I couldn't find one. Thanks guys, I needed this

I was trying for weeks to get a slide down, but I just couldn't make it happen until I tried a board with a shorter wheelbase and harder wheels. It really helped to get the motions down!

I love your vid man, I love your effort, your explanation, and of course the aesthetic of your content. Inspired by you, I'm about to start cruising at the age of 23 lol, wish me luck! Anyway, can you review Detachlon Yamba 900 please? I'd like to hear your thought before I buy one as my starter board

Pretty epic video, epic doggo and epic teenager moves.

Great video, but you should have explained a little bit more in detail. How to carve into the slide correctly ? How to use your shoulders, hips and legs ? Where to apply pressure and how to shift your weight on your feet ? Also narrower wheels help, because they are not that grippy.

Ooo needed a video like this thx also the ending 😂

YES FINNALLY

Great video! Helped me a lot.

Thaks for the video and the honesty. Slinding on LY Dingy aint easy.

This helps a lot, epic vid

I really needed it

Thanks I needed this 🙏

the video i needed but didn’t deserve

I recommend kinda bouncing into the carve by pressing down then bouncing into the carve, this works on a bendy longboard best. It basically just slides the back out faster from the momentum pressing down in the carve

this is awesome, thanks!

good stuff guys

Thanks so much for tye video🙏🙏

Preciate this rather learn from the best 🤙

You should recommend Powell Peralta Snakes as sliding wheels. They have a special "Soft Slide Formula" that make it extremely easy to slide, while staying very soft. They are also super durable for sliding, which tends to wear down the wheel.

Nice video as always, though I definitely feel I could help you guys up your game a little :) All I do is slide.

I started skateboarding back in the late 80s. Only wheels at the time were soft big wheels. Can't remember the size. I learned to power slide the length of a car with 82a OJ wheels. I remember 82a duro was for street 91a or so was considered hard, and mostly for vert.

Yo shred shack been getting into shredding again recently and running a landyachtz drop carve (flexible board) with otang stimulus. I can power slide and 180 but to hold out a nice standy I’m having trouble with going over the top of the board. Not sure if it’s the wheels, flexible board, drop mount or me not leaning far back enough but the stimulus are super grippy and slow the board fast down once you get sliding. Thoughts? Should I invest in some new wheels? Keep uploading dude 🤙

Hey! So could you do a review on the NKX maverick 33 surfskate? It’s pretty cheap and I wonder if it’s any good

Shred Shack ft. Supa Hot Fire 🔥 What more could you ask for?

Yo what was that trick at the end!?!?! Dope as hell bro.

yo i wanna cruise around and stuff snd want ultra smooth riding, should i get 75A cruiser wheels?

Should I be doing this with tight trucks or lose trucks ?

you should try some powell peralta snakes if you can find em. they're fast, slide very well, last for a very long time, and many people reccomend them for starting out and freeride

So it is not possible to do better powerslides with soft wheels?

Eboarders are waiting for your ride review of the Onsra Challenger

I got a dinghy blunt as well. It is fun, but when I'm going uphill I find that I can't push the same power as my old longboard. If I try to push as hard as I can uphill, I get out of control easily. Any tips, or should I just practice more or go slower? Also, should I have my back foot in front of the back bolts, in the pocket, or on the tail? Thanks man.

thanks am literally learning power slides for a while and am getting better but am pretty sure speed is gonna make it easier but I don't have the confidence to to do it I have a penny does putting griptape make it easier

Duuudee I just went to try some hills near my house today and was looking for this. I am using 78A wheels and I tried slowing down by skidding my back foot. I dono if that is dangerous but it kinda works I guess. Gonna try this tomorrow

Nice & Thanks :)

Bro, do a video rating soft wheels for longboarding

Hey man idk how busy you are but you should post more

Is the new camera being used? I’m curious

Y’all should do one on slide gloves next!

Little too short to actually get into it, but the info itself was v usefull!

Can I poweslide 53mm 83b wheels?

can you show more videos of how to do tricks

I have a dinghy and sometimes I can do the heelside slide but it scares the shit outta me, the problem is the toe side, I can't seem to do it and it's much harder for me

Is there anyway to lock an electric longboard so you can leave it without it getting stolen?

Your Longboard with the Purple wheels looks exactly like mine. Lol. But my long board is super bouncy cuz it’s made from bamboo, not use if it work the same. But I’m still gona end up hurting my self. Lmao

i find toe slides easier for some reason by putting all of my weight on the front foot and then kicking out with the back foot. but i cant seem to slide heel side for a reason. i use 86a orangatang moranga's to practice. any tips?

We need more. Longer follow up. More in depth slow motion instructions. This was good, but more would help.

Can you teach us how to pump?

🤙

I'm learning to do slides on Omakase and yellow stimulus, shit is scary at times lol

do more tutorials!

Joww man really interesting vid👌 Have a nice weekend!

Not creepy at all, just started to learn how to power slide lol

Just carve harder. Flex and extend your legs like you're trying to jump. If it doesn't slip you'll just carve out of it. If it does slip then great.

Deadass just got my internet fixed after like 2 months😭

I'm really not trying to be mean here, but weight over front, but push out the back foot.. when you have weight over the rear, the hookup of the slide is more abrupt and intense.. just friendly experience advice, skate safe friends!

Ok but how do you power slide on surf skates

b i g g d o g g

Power slid once. Nice and easy. Re:

also where’d you get that hoodie🤔

What’s in the cup bro?

another great video... really like your guys’ style. BUT you’re still saying: oh-ma-KA-ze. All Japanese people’s ear’s want to commit Harakiri when you say that. :p To delicate Japanese ears (or those who have spent any time in Japan) that’s like a cat’s nails on a hot tin roof, or riding a longboard with metal wheels... It’s oh-MA-ka-ze. The Stress is on the 2nd, NOT the third syllable/sound. ;-) Yes, it’s not really all that important to this video, but if you can master sliding a longboard, you can definitely master saying the board’s name right. ;). the word basically means “It’s up to your (the user’s) discretion. So basically the name is an homage to the users using the board however they want. It may be a very small difference to you, but it’s a huge difference to Japanese ears.... That’s like if someone said: “a-me-RI-ka instead of A-ME-ri-ka. Love your content though. Excellent as usual. Thanks for another great upload!

Why are having a coffe while recording the video? Couldn't you wait mr CEO of the park?

Hopefully first

Aren't these speed checks...not powerslides?

$10 to anyone who knows the youtube video reference I make at the end of the video

Where were the tips, man?

wheel hardness does not matter at all, and you need to shift your weight to FRONT foot, not back. all video is totally wrong.

There wasn’t one real power slide… seriously
