    Default SLiding- sorry to ask again

    Ive been practicin this stupid sliding for like 2 hours on my s9 pin r2 180s and the stock wheels, I am perplexed because I can get no more than an 1/8 turn, cant figure out what Im doin wrong, Ive been watchin my friends do it over and over and I cant seem to get it, thanks for your suggestions

    go faster, turn sharper, use the rails for leverage, and hard wheels dont hurt either.

    S9 wheels aint that bad, they're fairly grippy little bastards arent they?

    put a lot of weight on the hand on the ground aswell! also keep all your weight on the rails constantly. dont ease off!

    I can't slide for sh*t on S9 wheels. Great for when you want grip though. :P

    Speed is the trick and also the amount of your weight you put in the hand that is touching the ground. Try to put your weight in that hand and you'll succeed... Don't forget to stretch your legs while doing it.

    Well stand up ones yeah, but i'd get that hand down they look alot more stylish, start bringing your shoulders round before you put you'r hand down and carve into the slide.
    Lets hit those hills, lets slide the **** out of them, then lets do it again.
