Full 360 slides... Rrrrr

[skatardude10]

I just saw a video with a guy doing 360 slides. He went into a half pendelum, but just kept sliding, with his hand going first, and his board in front of him, himself going backwards, kept spinning, and he had done a full 360 slide! How do you do this? I was trying it today, but once I get the 180, it just stops! no matter how hard I push it, or try to slide it, it does not slide into a 360 spin! it just goes back, so I do a pendelum.

Keep your hand in the same spot while spining your body. You will have to put your other arm down for support. Say your knuckles are pointing east. Keep them pointing east untill the slide is done. Also keep your head facingdown the hill or the direction your planning on comeing out. Kind of hard to explain...watch some videos and youll figure it out.

I've done a 540 on Platt hill, riding on 65mm Coast Riders (the precursor to Variflex) and rode it out but immediately went home, negotiated a yardwork deal with two neighbors and set up a ride to Val Surf to buy Kryptonics.

Doing it intentionally would be crazy. Why violate nature?

I learned how to do a 360 by doing a regular 180, then a switch 180. It took forever and owned my paws, but it got done. 8)

that's how i do it, it's alot faster and cleaner looking standing up though.

alright, went out to the 35th street lot today after my doctors appointment, with my other half and the baby watching. i was pulling 360's effortlessy, and NOT the semi-standup segment slides (180 and switch 180)...well i did do a set of them, made 2 full rotations like yuppie does it. but now to the real deal, the full, clean, 1 slide 360. i started going down the hill, and i put my hands down parrallel(sp?) to the left side (heel) before i turned into the slide. it's basically like a 2 hand slide, but to the left instead of behind you...and you're gonna put 'em down before you go into the slide. i turned into the slide and broke into the pendulum, after i ended up at the 'come back around point of the pendulum' i spun the board the rest of the 360 with my legs and followed through with my arms. it's hard to explain, but it almost felt like continuing the pendulum in the opposite direction. i hit them all, expect one where i lost footing (thank god for pads...i'da had some hurtin' knees). it was great. i was doin' them until i was bored of them. i also got those superman slides down 'longwood' and his buddies were doin' last time i skated with them there. expect some videos to come after this weekend of the 360, for those of you who don't understand it. me and my boy are gonna get out and film, we got some new locations too. skatardude if we ever get a chance to skate i'll school you on the 360 you're talkin about.

put your hands behind you like a normal coleman or something then keep your head turned and when your a little over 180 then put your hands in front of you and push it around. thats what i do
