You cannot do tech sliding on it. But it will definitely slide. Don't expect to get all Chris Dahl on it.

yea you can slide it just fine. I've got lime BZ's on mine and can slide it just fine. Not anything techy but I can 180 fs/bs and hands down slides, like a pendy I just don't bring it back, and colemans.

I'm not too sure about the Vanguard but I do a fair bit of sliding on a dervish, pretty much the same length, although the vanny's a bit taller.

New_Brian's done a bit of sliding on the Vanguard I think, might want to get in touch with him about it. here's a vid of me sliding a dervish though

If providing a link to an incredibly similar board being slid is flaunting & it's me riding, my bad.
i've removed the embed for you if the media intrusion's offensive to ya

i'm not saying there aren't other people out there making moves on those decks, but it's not exactly easy to come by given the carving nature of the decks & the dis-assocation of them w/sliding through that.

loads of different way to slide a 42" board dude, find the way which you enjoy most I guess
