Wow the only good part of the video was that switchy slidethingy they did the rest was kinds dull and his wheels must be super ####ed and slidey. There's so little resistance when he's sliding he can hold them forever >>

What wheels is he riding?

I can see how standups are more controlled and you can better adjust exactly how much speed you want to shave.

very nice, Ive been practicing my stand up slides recently, so far (according to my gps watch) i'm comfortable with them up to a little over 15mph but havnt had the balls to pull standers over 20ish.

i'll have to set up a camera and push myself a bit to see what i can do.

Brian, don't be so shallow. She probably wouldn't appreciate that if she saw your comment. She's not fat either.

That's Hugh "Kibbling" Johnston, not Brunson.

my friend is more comfortable stand up speedchecking than footbraking...odd but tight, he threw them down at vernon this year it was was pretty sick.

Evren Ozan is like that too, and he doesnt know how to do them heelside, just toeside and he's faster than K-Rimes!

Hey man don't harsh on the fat chicks, they're a fun ride...Im sure her tits on that wrecked too, eh fifi?

[FatboyLovesHills]

i don't know how to standup no way, i havn't tried at fast speed and sucked ass at them. i think i'll set it as a summer goal to try and learn them.

i find footbreaking much easier for some reason, and thats on a top mount! might be down to the fact i've got about 10mm of car tyre on the bottom of my breaking foot but at speed i'm more comfortable doing that.

and my predrifts into corners are coming along alrite, with a hand down i have more confidence heading into corners, i think i have worn my otangs down too far though for racing......


but with regards to racing i can imagine a guy doin a standup just before a corner would freak someone following right out, especially if they were trying to take the lead or whatever... lol

[AJ]

SO you're the one who took my first idea for a Username...

Theres a lot of standup speed checks in this video. Except instead of using speedboards they use long pool decks at 35+.

Look at :35, 2:12, and 2:52

Nah, dude probably just skates faster than you.

[choople]

I'd also like to add that if anyone can show me a video of someone doing a stand up speed check on a 40in+ board while going over 35mph, I would sure like to see it ha.
