Most people probly are gonna say to tighten your trucks and yeah it will probly make it break easyer but, you can do it with loose trucks just get more speed, and turn as hard as possible and make sure your using your arm to get it back, cause if you just doing 180's to a stop you dont have nearly enough speed.

still trying to pull the 180 and bring the board back around. got some 73mm 90a wheels. i can do it kind of half assed. but not really. all i can mostly do is drift around turns and slide to a 180 stop toe and heelside. i have refused to tighten my randall trucks up at all. i have them as loose as possible. should i swallow my pride and tighten my trucks up? i spent all morning getting tossed trying to pull off s#@! i cant do yet.

The trophies are ready. The cash purse is over $2000.00. The best sliders from almost all areas are here to rip it up. Four Canadians including the Canadian Champ, Chris Dahl. Then there is Fabrice, Yonn and Mark from Quebec. From Berkeley there is Rizzo, Duran and Sakamoto. Malakai Kingston is here and the rest of the Ninja Squad from San Diego will be here to. Brits and Europeans, we will miss you greatly! The future awaits you.
Slight rain at the moment. Some of the crew is in campers at the local State Beach. The Park Ranger stops at the site and asks states, "I smell pot". The individual then shows his legal prescription card and the ranger left.
More info later,
Cliff Coleman

if there is any way i can get the time off from work and school, i would even just rack up the credit card to get to the comp, but i dont think its gonna happen. Guess I'll have skate to school today and bring my gloves for a bike path session on the way home. i cant wait to see (or hear) what people are gonna bring to the table,for this comp. Every time i imagine the big slides and crazy combos i get goosebumps. Someone please take some video!!!!!!!
also will there be any other stuff like slalom, downhill etc... that day??

the more addicted to longboarding i get the more i seem to learn. I just spent the better part of tonight watching every peice of downhill skate related media i could find, lastly the faltown teaser. all i can say is HELL YA!!! i got some really cool ideas watching it, a few things ive never even thought about. I currently have a 47" board with RII 180's and 90a 65 comets (pretty worn) ive been working various rotations and regular to fakie and back slides (ive been calling it a "feather" but ive been hearing the word "pendulum" more often) with different hand and foot variations. i realized to expand i need some tails and a shorter board. Where can i see more slides i havent seen before? anyone know when flow2 comes out? i wont have the funds to go to the gravity comp on the 3rd but i cant wait to hear about what will happen!! anyone in northern AZ out there?
keep on sliding

get some cheap leather gloves, squat down as low as possible, and start turning harder and harder untill you can make the wheels break loose. start carving this way and put your hands down. let them drag the concrete when you turn to get the feel. i hang my back knee off the side of the board, and shift my weight way up on the front trucks. then just ease into the turn, pushing harder and harder untill you get more comfortable. it took me about 5 runs to learn how to do a 180 stop. and i suck! i havent event been skating for a year. only snowboarded twice.

Hello people,
so i bought my first longboard last thursday (the 17th november) and i can carve pretty well (im a snowboarder) and bomb some hills, but i run mini-logos and im goin TOO FAST! The only thing i do is slowing me down with my foot but thats all but fun. Any tips for going fast on the hill without ending up in the traffic?

Had a nice sesh this sunday in the freezing cold, s'great the cooler air but I swear my nose ran at least a few miles during the few hours we hit the slopes!
Tried to learn new things as always and I managed the one handed toeside and heelside 360's which was pretty rad, an the boyz saw them which at least means I dont have to do the whole 'you should have seen it, it was THIS BIG!!' thing.

hey guys i just acquired 100 bucks for working for my dad and i am going to buy a new board.
im stuck between:
krooked zigzagger board
http://www.skateparkoftampa.com/spot/shop_productdetail.aspx?ProductID=11950
powell mcgill skull
http://www.skatesonhaight.com/Powell_McGill_Skull_and_Snake_skateboards_p/pmmsss.htm
and a powell vallely elephant deck
http://www.skatesonhaight.com/Powell_skateboard_Vallely_Elephant_deck_p/psbdvesn.htm
i was wondering which do you guys think is better for controlling slides
the last two have no nose but they are wider than the zigzagger one, but the zig zagger one is skinnier but has more concave and has a nose, so i was wondering do you guys have any idea which would be the best?

Sliding softer wheels

most definatley matey. 78a is pretty soft by anyones standards i think, although you can slide anything, it definately drags you back when they are that squidgy. if you still like yo soft wheels you could go up to about 85-95a and have a smoother ride, but you will still need a little more speed to pull it off compared to using some 99-101a rock hard wheels!
Roll on. Will.

im trying to do the hand slide where you pull it to about 180 degrees and the back around while maintaining your speed. got a 36' sector nine, 180 randalls, and 68mm 78a wheels. you think my wheels are just dragging me down? i have to get going pretty fast to even feel like i have enough speed to pull the trick off, but i keep falling off the back of the board, or doing a 180 and end up going downhill backwards. i feel like the first step is to whip the board around faster than you would if you were tring to do a 180. you think some really hard or smaller wheels would allow me to pull the trick off at a slower speed?
