These seem....I really don't know. Sketchy?
All the ideas incorporated into the gloves make sense, though....I just don't know.

They seem 100% sketchy to me! You can't grab your board. The puck has ball bearings in it, so it has no breaking capabilities at all. Just weird.

But of course if there was a pair next to me I'd try them out. Haha...

Yeah, the fingers look idiotic, but the ball bearing pucks actually seem like a good idea possibly for tech sliding. Sometimes the limiting factor on the length of my layout slides is the friction on my pucks, since all my weight is mostly off my board and more on my hands. They also heat up a bunch when I slide like that. Maybe these balls bearing puck thingies are a good thing? I dunno. I'm still an uber-noob at sliding.

very strange

wouldn't mind trying them, but they seem way too complicated to me.

sometimes simple is good

p.s. look at the other products on their site..... they're all off-the-wall and overly complicated

Update on the Staron. I had a solid weekend of sliding and the staron seems to be holding up as well as the Corian. My friend liked my gloves so much we made him a set, completely out of Staron. They seem to be holding up great.

Hahaha, those are some obscenely complicated gloves! The only advantage I can really see is that they allow for individual finger movement (which isn't really necessary, but it would be easier to carry your board with i guess) as opposed to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle style three finger gloves. Either way, some leather workman's gloves, velcro and corian samples would do just fine for $45 less (and will probably last longer)

NOOOO no corian? sry spacing on the name i think thats right anyway i went to lowes and they had no counter top smples of it just stone

and its the only one in 90 miles

**nowbyslider** · 03-29-2009 01:35 AM

Im just making me some slide gloves, and have found some old sailing gloves. Theyre highly durable, breathable and dont look nearly as bad as sme of your work gloves...

but they are fingerless... there quite big, and only the tips from the top joint up show, can i still use them? im going o melt some cutting board on.

you can just buy it, its sooooo cheap. i bought some and made finger pucks. then i jacked some road turtles and glued it all down to my gloves with shoe glue. works perfect. try those road turtles. they dont wear down too bad.

**luftywaffles** · 03-29-2009 07:30 AM

**enrique60033** · 03-29-2009 09:37 AM

or just get some dominoes and glue them on to a glove,they will do the trick until you get better materials,

road turtles or the little round road reflectors are great. shoe goo or shoe glue, its really cheap and ment to bond to all those materials. in all the slide gloves i have made, using this stuff is way easier than epoxy or whatever else you find. its made to flex once bonded which is a plus also and it bonds to leather, plastic, cloth, and rubber very well. you want some picts of my gloves?

each pair lasts around 5 or 6 months of use for me. those road "pucks" are very easy to find.

i have found that slide gloves can cost under 5 dollars to make using my method.
go to a dollar store and find fitted work gloves that have the velcro strap (like mechanics gloves)
get some shoe goo ($5 a tube will last you quite a few gloves)
find some road pucks on the side of the road
and get four or five samples of corian from home depot for free (cut the fifth in half if you want one on your thumb)
