    ya man, thats fun stuff. you can also do 2 wheel drifting turns that you slide if you get it just right, but it cones you wheels bad. great fun though.

    yeah, i run my 150s incredibly loose, but just tight enough so that when you over-carve the wheels leave the ground rather than bite. Im always taking crossings on two wheels.

    Yeah, now since i have a tail, I drag it accros the ground and180, if you push hard enough you can get your wheels to slide a complete a 360.

    Even though I'm plenty heavy, I'm too chicken to really lay down into the board and couldn't get the purple springs in my Seismics to turn well enough for me...I was doing two-wheel turns every hard carve and 3-wheeling it on more mellow turns. It was fun to play with, but too sketchy for comfort.

    Check out your wheels after a hard two-wheel carve: cool clean marks on the outside edges!

    Totally, wicked fun. Easiest with short trucks (obviously).

    the only time i got on two wheels was on trucks with non worn in bushings when i was doing the tightest 180 i could in the road...it took the whole width of the raod and the use of the inclined banks/curbs on either side. anyone post a pic of their two wheeled slide......or cruising 2 wheels?

    I used to do 2 wheeled slides all the time cause I started sliding by grabing the board and putting down one hand, now I can do it two handed, coleman style, and all that jazz, but when I grab the board I still occasionally go on two wheels. Heres a pic from back in the day of my two wheeled slides.

    one of my riding buddies when he does 180 slieds always does them on 2 wheels. It is a habit he developed surfing to dig that hard and lean that far back when doing the cut backs. but after the first week of that his wheels were pointed. It is hilarious i think i could stab someone with them if u needed to.
