Hand Placement in Coleman Slides

**K-Rimes** · 08-23-2004 02:33 PM

Just wondering, where is the proper placing of both hands in a coleman slide. Any help would rock.

the front hand goes behind you on the ground, the back hand is in the air infront of you guiding your slide.

just watch cliff himself do it:

so wait a coleman slide is when you put your lead hand down behind you, turn heelside into a slide until you're riding switch, then reverse directions and slide back the way you came so you're forward again?

if that's a coleman what the hell is a pendulum?

edit: oops i have been enlightened my bad.

stick your fingers under the wheel while sliding, helps to control ur slide more

when i do my colemans i just go into like a bert then pull out....kinda happens naturally

grab rail and put your other hand down

(im goofy footed if it helps)

if your backhand is not in the air and in some other place is that not a coleman?

if you put your hand up your backside you're diggin' for coal... man.

**doctor worm** · 06-10-2005 01:57 PM

You can basically put your hands anywhere you want on any type of slide as long as it looks good.

I've progressed way farther than a coleman, this topic SHOULD DIE!

bump

because flashchat says so.

Seeing that there was a point in K-Rimes' life where he didn't know how to do a coleman gives me hope for my skating. I think it actually gives hope for all of humanity and the long-term survival of our planet!
One would think he came out of the womb knowing everything about the glorious sport of longboarding.

PS Epic 5 year necro, spocto...

Flashchat (mainly urbs) said so tehe, and it gives hope to all newbies that if they practice they can be awesome!

When I started reading this thread, I was confused as hell... Now that I realize it's over 5 years old, I feel foolish.

Glad to see the topguns started out like everyone else.

i agree. knowing that at one point, guys like Kyle Chin and K-Rimes had to start out just like us is reassuring.
maybe there is hope for my sorry ass after all
