always apply the HEAL FIRST, so you won't skip or chance getting pitched by your toes rolling under you - ouch.
ask if need more help
peace skater girl and you will LOVE how longboarding helps you keep fit during off season from snowboarding.

Thank you both for the web sites. I think I will definitely try the foot braking first. I've been setting my foot down in the same direction as the board on the ball of my foot so, there's a lot of skipping. Thanks again and I will definitely let you know.

corinne
first work on footbraking and never allow yourself to go faster than you can foot brake to stop within 30 or so feet of when you initiate it.
once, you've that down, then work towards learning to power slide.
NEVER run-out if it can be avoided. work your side-to-side carves like sonwboarding.
timeshipracing.com has great tips on footbraking, so i won't rattle on.
PEACE and keep posted on your progress - remember, downhillers footbrake at 40mph, so just that skill alone can save to effectively.
you'll be ripping in no time!

Corinne,
Check out my web-site, "cliffslider.com". Go to "articles", then click on the images of the article to read and or print them out. The article you want is, "Street Slidin" from Thrasher in 1982. It will help you get started sliding and learning how to stop.
Thanks,
Cliff Coleman

I just started longboarding and to be honest I am getting really frustrated. I started because I missed snowboarding so much that I thought it would be a good substitute. I love when I can actually get on my longboard and ride but, I CANNOT STOP without jumping off. Can anyone help me? I love longboarding and cruising but it really puts me in a bad mood that I have to jump off every single time!

I'm going to do another set of Downhill Diva clinics the last saturday of July, August and Sepetmber - females only.
Skills covered will be foot braking, slalom, sliding and basic downhill. Theses clinics are outlaw, free and after 20 bodies sign-up, closed; bring your own gear/snacks, no fear and a good attitude. Pass the word to those willing in the San Diego area.

My story in a nut shell as the Industry Profile on Malakye for the month of June. A little mention about slalom and other skate projects in the works. Thanks Chad for the support. Much thanks to Novak and Bob Hurley and many others that have supported me for decades. Who'd of thought I'd have city parks asking me where I want to hold a slalom race. More good things to come. Patience and persistence finally pays off.

Here are a few pictures, this set is from the final heat which was in the rain and it really does not show the skill these gals posess. The gals start with the first photo and continue through the next 7 photos.
I also incorrect with the youngest ricer, that was Anna Oneil and not only did she place well, she BROKE her shoulder in an early heat AND COMPLETED THE REST OF HER HEATS!
Unfreaking believable!
Here is a theread regarding some of the womens action...

Congratulations to all the women who took on Carnage Corner over the weekend. The racers showed such passion and determination that it made the guys look bad. Everyone hit the pavemetn at some point and most ended up with some sort of road rash to take home with them.
Congrats to Briane and Carly, both of whom have been practicing and have improved ALOT in the last year.
My personal favorite was little Sadie Coates, all of 11 or 12 yeaers old(I hope i have her name right, please correct me if I am wrong). In an early heat she went into the bails HARD right in front of me and you could see the pain in her eyes. She found her board, pushed like a madwomen towards the finish. She went on to finish all her heats, including the finals in the rain.
Here is the finishing order as posted at Coastlongboarding.com:
1 briane davis
2 carly richardson
3 chiara pocente
4 haven anderson
5 rachel oneil
6 anna oneil
7 sheryl adams
8 samantha stebbe
9 sadie coates
10 louise leslie
Who is willing to take Briane on at Maryhill in a month?

Thanks go out to Donald of Pavel Skateboards for the largest womens prize purse I have ever seen for a slalom race. I'm sure there will be an extra large contingent this year, I estimate 25 women!
