    Maybe 10 - 15 foot?

    You gotta get all Cliff Coleman on it and bust out a 250 footer (What I hear is the longest slide he did once)

    That wasnt a slide, you dragged your hand through a mellow turn.

    That's all I see to, it stops at 17 seconds for me and if I try to manually move it forward, it goes to 27 seconds and you're off your board.

    Oh yah, that happened to me, just move the slider foreward to 18 seconds and you can watch the rest of it fine.

    That works.

    I'm liking the celebratory leap off your board at the end.

    It took you a little long to get into a full slide, so I'll go with 10-15 too, but impressive nonetheless.

    Ya I'd say about 10 or so feet. Most of it was more of a drift. But pretty sweet none the less.

    Cold won't hurt.

    That really was not big but at least you got the feeling which is always nice. Commit even more weight onto your hands and layout for it and you'll slide 3x further. (Or just stop better).

    Cold asphalt, cold tires = less friction = more slide, though it may not be all that much more. Wet it down or cover it with leaves or gravel for real fun...

    lets try slide + rain = more than 10 feet and more fun for you. there is a hill by my house once you get sliding it can feel like forever until you stop.
    did somebody say hills?

    this is true...you kind of just drifted, good start though , try to get the board 180 and put more weight on your hands

    I didn't even see a drift and I don't think that Robbie was being an ass for simply stating what you were doin.
