Question Sidewinder

I got a Sector 9 board, It has a double kingpin, so it can make tighter turns, but i haven't been able to slide on it, idk if its the double kingpin, or if i just need some harder duro wheels. Im not sure if this has been posted b4 either, i didnt really wanna search. any hlp is appreciated thnx.

The trucks have nothing to do with it. I have those and a 75a wheel and I can slide no problem.

What sort of sliding are you trying to do?

You might need to break in your wheels a bit depending on how new they are.

My friend has the sand wedge, and his wheels are pretty broken in. They slide pretty well, almost too much honestly. How tight are your trucks?

Well, i have the Maccas, the Bamboo sand winder, It is fairly new, about mayb a week. I can doa standup heel slide, but i cant keep it for long, as for trucks, well i havent tightened them or loosened them, so they are fairly loose, its a good combination btween sliding and carving, on the sidewinders though.

It's basically jelly made around a hub in your fridge. It would not last long ... although I'm sure it would be awesome for cruising. Like ... the 1/100 of a second they would endure the weight of the board.
