    Default what is NOT the best setup for sliding?

    I was thinking of not pulling 360'z maybe not going into heelside colemans at 35mph and maybe not doing sharp 90% drifting slides around corners

    what about this setup

    an ironing board for a deck (single ply aluminum or unobtanium)
    broomstick axels with ducktape trucks
    nerf balls for bearings
    and smallish single cube cinderblocks fer wheels
    peanut butter grip tape

    I was thinking this would be a good setup to not slide? any ideas? I used the search function so please don't flame me. only SERIOUS responses please!!

    oh yea I am thinking of making my sliding gloves out of oven mits and hubcaps, or maybe trash can lids have a higher density for the pucks?
    The sage, Longboard Buddha once said, "A tree spends 100% of its lifetime in a static environment and only after its reincarnation as a deck is it allowed to move at fast speeds...
    when allowed, the wood will give thankless service if
    allowed to flow."

    I use porcupines for my wheels if I don't feel like doing pendulums.

    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

    hmm sounds like the sides would scrape the ground a little bit when you turn
