I've gotten them to slide out a couple times but thats it. It seems that whenever I try to get into a slide I just end up with a real deep carve. I'm sure my technique isn't perfect and the wheels aren't particularly meant for sliding, but with the 84a I thought it would be easier. So any thoughts, tips, or ideas.?

thanks and best vibes,

hey max.
i have the same wheels, they slide quite well after about 6 months. until then you have to much a lot of weight on the frontend of your board. much more than you would need to on other wheels.
