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?).

Yeah, no swearing, it makes you look like you have a small vocabulary. Especially if you are in college.
Also, dude, just helmet. Though you would look so cool on life support for traumatic brain injuries.
Basically, kick out your back foot, and just keep sliding. You might need to go faster. And falling won't hurt, you have a helmet and gloves.
