    First rule of running a site: Bandwidth is always tight.

    Also, isn't freeridge/slopestyle/etc what we used to just call, you know...skating?

    I am not trying to be an asshole, but is there something so discipline-specific about freeriding that it needs its own forum? Why can't it just be covered by "General Longboarding?"

    Another reason to break out a discipline into its own forum is for a like-minded community to be able to flock together: are you having trouble finding freeride threads on here?
    Cuz it seems to me we are ####### deluged by them...

    Its not that I don't enjoy it, but I don't know that freeriding is such a unique exercise that it needs this kind of special area set aside...

    And now, I'll get ready for all of the flaming to begin...

    I agree with endzone... skating is starting to get like the metal scene. I have played drums for a few touring metal bands. It's to the point now where there are 1848383 different sub-genres of metal, and all the younger kids have an attitude about it. "no, we're not black metal... we play thrash with death metal vocals and a progressive feel..."

    GET THE F OUT. YOU PLAY METAL.


    The same goes for this... GTFO YOU SKATE.
    I have a bunch of skateboards

    Isn't this what you're supposed to put in a signature?

    I think all sliding should just be in the "skateboard sliding' forum. Why separate soft wheel from hard wheel? There's so much crossover nowadays any way.

    No reason for a new section. Nothing that the already existing soft wheel and drifting threads haven't already handled.

    Hahahahaha! All this bullsh*t comes straight out of the under assistant west coast production man publicity machine in Hollywood. The stupid droolers who think they are rebelling are just being manipulated for profit as usual.

    If anything, I think they should separate it just because the hard wheel/tech sliding people have one thread (technical sliding thread) for technical sliding, and the rest are threads like:

    "help on colemans"

    "how to standup slide 180"

    "can my wheels slide?"

    "best freeride wheel?"

    A dedicated thread is one thing. Just no need for a whole new section.

    I am the six string version of you. lol Toured in metal bands all over the US and listening to the goofyness of all the subgenre makes me wanna scream. "Uh we are a Melodic Metalcore band with Scremo Vox and Grind Core breakdowns...." STFU kid you play metal.

    As for the OP, isn't sliding just sliding? I mean soft wheels, hard wheels. The section says "Sliding" in the title right?
