uhm same here...

hardcarving is what i call it. shave off speed with every turn, but still go pretty damn fast. until i get to the point where i cant seem to reduce my speed by carving and just get faster and faster. thats when its time for a pendy, to get down to a speed that i can control again.

I sometime also carve so hard that my back wheels just slip out, and I go sliding on the ground.

I got some really grippy gooey wheels so I use them to their fullest extent. I do huge slow smooth carves and try and cover as much concrete with my board as I can before I get to the bottom of a hill.

That's a fun way to ride a hill. It feels good to get maximum G-force on each cutback.

Pendulum back and forth on your gloves sorta, or what?
