5. do said one-eighty.
6. go faster.
7. go to fast, crash.

Haha this is all that should be necessary. Im having trouble with this, though. I can slide wth gloves but not powerslide per se. What i can do is one of these- I \ manual on my long ass board (reg stance), rotate the board (still balancing on back wheel) (clockwise) and manual that sh it around 180*, right? whatever thats called, i dunno the effin name.
so I get some good speed and do one of those ^ so hard that the board slides (around 30-40* depending on how hard i do it).
The point is, what is this sht called?
And, it seems like speed & how hard i turn are inversely related. ya dig?
Im working on trying to slide 180* doing that ^...but i dont wanna fall off and smash my head (i go to osu, i already get a lot of #### good/bad about my longboard. "dmn that sht is dope!" or "hey what the fck are you doing, get over here" so wearing a helmet = get a lot of ####. i dont wanna go too hard and smash my headsies (side note can we curse on this sht?).
