    Default Lets just say... I learned.

    Ok guys,

    I learned how to slide today. Im riding 75a gumballs. After much effort i finally got one down! It was awesome. Although still having trouble sliding with heels pointed up the hill. Im goofy foot.

    But i figured everybody always asks how to slide, so i decided i would actually respond when I learned. Thanks for your tips guys.

    Peace

    Yeah, im not really sure how i mastered it on such a soft wheel.

    Im for sure going to invest in a harder wheel. Plus i dont want to wreck my carving wheels.

    if you really like your flashbacks then go for 88a flashies they slide real nice and last ages! be warned the majority of people flatspot when learning though so they will preolly be sacraficial.
