Default Did I just slide?

Story: I was cruising on my way to the base, when my board went into a wet spot on the ground ( it wasnt' a puddle, it was more like when you spray a hose on the ground) Then I turned, and the back of my board slid like in the following picture. Green is front wheels and red is back wheels general path. Ps What is drifting on a longbard?

you need to close off the ends and make it yellow. That way we can all see the banana more clearly.

for that picture to work, your wheels would have needed to be extended out of place.

I think you drifted in standup fashion.

if you have to draw a picture out to try to explain what you did, then you probably didn't slide...looks like your wheels may have lost traction a bit or possibly standup drifted

Default Re: Did I just slide?

looks like the back wheels lost traction while in the wet spot and when he got past it he hooked up again.

so no not a slide. maybe a small standup drift. sliding you have to be completly sideways.
