    if you can ride it, you can slide it

    but for trick sliding, you're gonna want something with a lot more concave, and a kick nose and tail. maybe 35.5"x9.25" with a 17" wheelbase, 7.25" nose and 7.3" tail
    in an exclusive milehigh skates colorway!
    yeah...that's what you need
    yes, an uber-grippy, square-lipped slalom wheel IS the best for sliding

    Yeah, I had that deck. It was pretty good for basic slides and getting into it. Plus, fun to rip down mellow hills. Go for it. If you can do tech slides on that, imagine what you can do on a slide deck
