    Default sliding boards...what to get?

    hey guys i just started to slide a couple days ago...just a fews basic slides i can do, but I love my first board and it works really well for a carving board, so I wanna get a new sliding board for the purpose of having 2 boards for 2 different wasy to skate. And im in the dark in a lot of this stuff...so what board should i get? like a deck and trucks, im getting sergio yuppies from gravityboards.com....

    any suggestions for a board?

    i recommend something in the 36" inch range, with concave to lock your feet in. ususally a double kick board is good...since you are already going to order yuppies from gravity, check out the pool 36 or the team 36.

    trucks dont really play a role in sliding...get whatever you want...

    if you have any other questions, let me know

    when you dyed your wheels did you heat it up, or did you just let them sit?

    this is what I suggest, or maybe the 36

    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."
