Hey guys I only got 1 board in my arsenal and it's my 44" board. I am getting the hang of bombing some of the hills around my house but I still don't know how to stop. I tried sliding earlier today with my homemade glove and it doesn't even bulge . maybe it's because I'm 5'6" 115 lbs idk.... Any tips to help me with this problem I just want to learn the coleman at least!
ya i learned to slide on a 44 inch board
its not too bad just make sure you have some pucks on your gloves so they slide too
basically unweight your board and put weight on your hand
turn sorta... and you should be sliding
Since the new evo has the green graphic, does that mean the board will go faster? I heard they used a lighter paint, which makes the board lighter and faster?:-k
Just practice, thats all there is too it. If you really go for it, you will do it, get some good saftey equipment so bailing=fun and then go for it all out.

im gonna sound like a ###. but try sliding in the rain just to get a feel so when u do slide u wont jump off and freak out. ANd its a #### load easier.
im about 130 lbs and can slide my 46' pin with no problem... my friend who is smaller than me has some problems, but at a decent speed with commitment you should have no problem... try practicing in a parking garage... hit some corners fast and it should slide just fine for you.
thx for the advice gonna grab my board and scrap my ass up. Should I wear any protective gear such as kneepads? Just need to overcome the fear of speed while trying something new.
44" board still can slide?
