    Default question about sliding on non sliding wheels

    when riding softer wheels that will eventually chunk or cone, what kind of slides do you find to be kindest on the wheels. would it be better to keep more weight on the board or off it? I hate witnessing my 81a strikers that I love so much start to cone pretty bad from just safety slides. thanks for you input.

    jah bless

    keep the wheel rolling, thats all I know. Make sure you do a full 180 or pendy and don't drag out your slide do it quick, also less weight on the sliding wheel may help
    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."
