so yea , im getting better at slidind and when i do a coleman i slide for about 3 seconds before it turns 180 degrees, what can i do about this? is there a technique to it or do i just need to practice more? thanx in advance for the help

try to balance your weight between your feet to give one or other side more grip. eg if you tail is starting to whip around then put a little weight on it ( more grip) so the front is lighter (less grip) etc

works for me

im still having trouble when ever i do a slide it just turns 180 , if i have enough hill left i can bring it back around and do a pendelum , but regular sliding just istn working for me, im using 85a powell bombers right now do you think it would be worth getting harder wheels ?

Just push real hard. and slap some lubricant on it for ease.

get some shitty bearings and ride in the rain, makes it real easy to practice your technique at lower speeds, so you don't grind your tailbone off, I hear it hurts
