Default Re: New to sliding?

wow, ive recently come under the impression that gear doesnt matter that much for basic coleman and toeside slides. i just got my gravity gloves in today and got the slides down in just a few tries. my set up is a bustin complex, 3dm avalon 68mm 78a wheels, and really wide gullwing mission 1 trucks. most would say that you cant slide those wheels, but it comes pretty easy, but im fairly sure i wouldnt be able to do 360s... though i can do 180s on my first night. either way, my point is this. if you are wanting to get into sliding, dont worry about gear TOO much, just get gloves and try it out. my 2cents.
