Hey guys, I'm new to these forums and have been longboarding for about 2 months. I've made a lot of progress thanks to this site and these forums so thank you!

My question is: How easy is it supposed to be to power slide?

I try and I try. I've done it successfully about 5 times out of about 50 tries. I just end up going into a hard carve. And this is at 15-20 km/h. I've fallen countless times and I just get back up and keep trying.

I've got an LY Urban Assault with Randal II trucks and 76m Monster hawgs with a duro rating of 84a. I weigh about 165.

Any hints/tips would be awesome.

Thanks!
