JARED: just read your post on the faltown site.. my sequences are for both hands down.
the concept is very similar, but a nose grab one is much more unstable.
I've only pulled it of a few times!
PIET: Hows yo sliding coming along? I need to go out more.
Will!

I can do a boneless to layback slide on a bank, but I don't think there is a boneless slide.

Dont think so, perhapse you could slide on a bank like a 180 and then as your comin to a stop boneless outta it.. I cant imagine a boneless slide though.

I tried skating (staying on the board) back in the 60's but ended up in the service for a while. I've been supportive of my son's desire to skate, which led to me getting into longboarding. My problem is I live in Houston, Texas (no hills) Is there anybody else out there that knows of some rideable streets or anything for longboards down here.
Thanks, John

Hello all faltown crew, I came down this summer with Aengus. My sliding is so much better now. Ive mastered the 360 (heel) and have completed a few shaky 360 (toe). I cant wait to come to falmouth again. Will you be running a slide clinic in 2006 and will the likes of Cliff and Sergio be coming too?? (maybe I should have posted on faltown!?) Keep sliding through the winter months. Its better in the wet anyhow as long as you got the doe to replace those itchy bearings! Ice sliding, theres a thought for deep dark winter.

I see they are advertising..."The definitive Leader in Slide Gear"
Isn`t "Slide Gear" a registered trademark of Huge Corp?

Im saving up and trying to find a way to the slide show. I want to rip it up with you guys and see whats up with the slide scene. It's all way too underground, lets blow the lid off this. I must go and meet and slide with Fabrice, wanted to ever since I saw him on Motion with his bigfish and crails I'v wanted too meet the man. Pintails for sliders = ohhhh yeahhhh!!!

I love the flim flam at the moment, either that or a basic coleman into revert round the corner and on I go. Those feel the most soulful of me repitoir.
What am I working on? Getting my spins smoother, getting my 720's nailed or dialed whichever comes first =).
I have to iron out my flat/pressure spins as well coz 9 times outta ten my board flies out from under me 270' into the move, s'gonna happen but I need to have another pair of shoes that I dont mind ruining coz I only have one pair of trainers and thats gonna be a whole universe of paychecks away =/
Really most of my work is goin into making everything fluid so I can chage my game plan mid slide and go with the flow, somthing that I think seperates someone who can slide from someone who can slide well.
