New To Sliding

[juicy]

Hello everyone in the fish!
right now i am currently into DH but i have nice hills here and i want to learn to slide. (hoping that it will help my DH skills too)
right now i have a blank skate deck that has wheel cut outs looks funny but its a start, i have tracker six track 161s, and 75mm 3dm avilia blues.
is this ok to start with or should i go and find a wider deck and smaller, harder wheels.
for protection i have a helmet, knee and elbow pads, and i have the new loaded slide gloves that i would normally use for my DH runs.
what slides should i learn first? i already can do check slides. and i can almost coleman.
help me out please
thanks
