    Default question about sliding

    I want to learn sliding as I need a reliable way to stop when I'm riding. Can you learn sliding by going down drive ways or is it not enough speed to slide.

    it depends on what wheels you have and how hard they are, are you learning to slide with gloves, because it is advised, and how fast is this drive way?
    oh yeah and what board are you riding?
    ....an idea so great, that the very thought of it would make my head explode...

    YES, it is possible just keep trying... you don't need special wheels! ANY WHEEL WILL SLIDE for stoping purposes.

    You should begin to learn sliding at pushing speed, once you have that down move on to a mid grade and work on solid 180z then a steep grade and work on pendyz after you can nail a pendy take it in the direction you want to...
    The sage, Longboard Buddha once said, "A tree spends 100% of its lifetime in a static environment and only after its reincarnation as a deck is it allowed to move at fast speeds...
    when allowed, the wood will give thankless service if
    allowed to flow."
