I've been trying to learn the coleman slide for the past couple days but just haven't been able to break my board into a slide yet. I'm riding a NS Norad with Randell 180 & Kyrpto 80a 70mm wheels.
I think the problem is I'm just not getting enough speed but I'm not sure. When I start the slide I end up doing u-turns and my wheels never break.

Should I be pushing the board away with my legs? Should I keep my body close to the board or spread out more?
