    Default boards you can slide with..

    im wondering if i can do basic toeside + heelside slides on this board... i can sort of do a toeside but not a heelside at all. would i need a board more specific to sliding? i was watching all those sliding videos and i wanna do that


    anyway i have an original custom 45 :

    flex=harder to slide
    loose trucks=the trucks will turn before forcing the wheels into a slide
    low duro wheel=harder to slide

    My favorite sliding board is my Gravity Hyper-Carve that's equipped with floppy-loose trucks and 78a Flashbacks. Go figure.

    Damn Ryan, I can slide mine easily, probably because of the tendency of the trucks to slip out.
