Hi. Oddly, nothing related to my ego, but figured I’ve had good success with cold starting (no warm-ups) and big fails. Hahaha.
All good. Even though I was mentally defeated, I kept going and finished decently.

See you next video.

great stuff dude - my best advice that helped for me is to practice slides in the wet! you can do everything way slower and slide for way longer. it really really helps you get the feel for the position and how much you actually have to brace to hold a slide - and then more importantly standing up out of it.

Thanks. Oddly, I’m about upload my first misty/wet session with my buddy and he got his first Coleman with no rail.

Great carving already! The last few slides look good! The last one, your wheels slid even before you dropped your hand. That means your weighted the front down well. 👍 You got this!

Thank you. Putting in the work. Every session goal now is to get at least 1 quality slide. Will add one good carving, too at some point.

Hi! Great content. I'm a new viewer but I've also been trying to learn heel-side slides, but I've been struggling lately. Watching your videos is super motivating and makes me want to get out there and practice!

Hi and really appreciate your watching and commenting. Same struggle here. Yes, definitely practice and practice-it’s a psychological thing when you feel like no progress, but in the short time of any practice - you may have a light bulb go on that puts the puzzle pieces. The video that changed my life and got me into downhill was “downhill Longboarding in paradise” by Mirko Paoloni. I watch it a lot for transcendent experience, calming and re-motivation. I looked at the other day because felt meh-but it was epic. I also look at it differently because I have better understanding of some skills. Good luck. 🤘🤙

Brother, notice when you get your good slides...the board is carving smoothly and rear slightly starting to drift slightly(your weight more on the front truck making the rear light) before your puck lightly touches down sliding across the top of the pavement...your slide hand stays in line or forward of the front truck? You are rotating ON and WITH the board. *Then your crashes, your puck slams down first because your weight is dropping on your hand..increasing friction and your hand slides slower...drifting behind your front truck...which makes you pivot around your hand...and your weight shifts to the rear truck, causing a crash. You are rotating at a seperate speed than the board. As we are older , warm up off the board is a must. Stretches that open the hips, long pause low squats, toe touches all held for 3-5min...then access shoulder mobility and spinal rotation the same. You know what Im saying at our age...some days just certain muscles are just so tight a squat takes a while to release into. One the hips release, slides dramatically improve. ❤ Get it homie !

Awesome info and quality comment-thank you. Yes, agree on warming up as we age and it was a reminder that warming is first then training. Makes perfect sense of the weight shifting and hand dropping first. Still takes so much conscious effort to focus, but building muscle memory/instinct takes hundreds if not thousands of specific skill training. Still stoked and thank for encouragement. 🤘

Well done, keep up the good work, its hard when you're older, but well done in wearing protection. Support you by subscribing !!!

@cantskate5535 Месяц назад

Thank you for support & sub. 🤘

Actively shift your weight up and down as you go through each carve. I usually warm up by doing a few full depth squats, a few one legged squats, and carving while using as much of the road as possible. Good luck, go fast.

@cantskate5535 Месяц назад

Thank you. Liking the additional warm ideas 🙏 Shifting weight is a challenge, but getting a little better each session. The carving needs to improve, too so I can use whole road, but feeling better each practice. Thank you for encouragement.

Also if you are on symmetrical trucks, better start with symmetrical busings

@cantskate5535 Месяц назад

@@parisgwyr7865 ah, didn’t consider that, so thank you. Will look at the boards and adjust.

@kevindepriest6786 2 месяца назад

Start low stay low with the carves try touching the pave or your 🛹 with your hand as you change direction carving. rocking on your arches, hill to toe can build up the muscle memory. Best to use shoes that you can feel the board and grip tape trough the sole if there is to much cushion I can't really get a full contact feel that helps use any features the concave might have.

@cantskate5535 2 месяца назад

Thank you. Makes sense and can build muscle memory with confidence; still uncertain and not consistent, but that’s what practicing is for.
