Default Hypercarve?

First of all, sorry if this is already covered in a thread, if it is you can link me.... would a hypercarve with hard wheels be a good sliding setup?

Not really, but you can slide anything. I tend to think the longer the board, the cooler the slide. My formula for sliding coolness is:

Coolness of slide on a scale of 1-10 + Length of your board = Slide coolness.

The hypercarve is a bit too long to be a nice, efficient trick sliding setup. Go with something like a Lib Tech Longboard.

The lib techs are very nice if you can find them. I haven't seen many around lately. A 36-40" board is perfect for sliding.
