RipTide How To: Speed Check (Stand-Up Slide) 

facts bro

Thanks

Hahaha same broo how long did yours take to heal?

emanbossmantgeman about 3 months. They made me wear some harness thing that forced me to walk like I had a stick up my ass lol

+Josh Strutt mine healed in 2 weeks lol

+zutautiz1 You guys are lucky lol, mine broke in 2 places so I needed surgery

if its been two years it likely never will...

Holy Fuck!!! Excellent video man!!! Thanks a lot for this!!!

+doomduckmedia hey i cant seem to kick out the board enough for me to properly slide

great video homie

+FinIsAlmostHuman try putting more of your weight on front foot

+doomduckmedia Damn Son, this the best video I've seen yet!

His repping for goofies certainly made my day.

That was intense at 6:10mark

Shoutout to the Goofies 🤙🏾 I’m here learning. I’ll be shredding in no time.

Your cool bruh

Goofy bois!!!

oolek who rides skateboard goofy and snowboard regular?

me!!

I ride goofy too, I think more people are right footed when setting there foot on the board, so goofy should become regular and regular should become goofy 🙃

Thank you!

Yeah that freaked me out, im all alone in my house like wtf imma die. i had to pause it and listen for like 5 minnutes lol cx

Yea really haha. I thought it was me for half the video

It started with a very congested nose breathing (so much that it even made a whistle noise) and it ended in a heavy mouth breathing. Lovely.

Same man! :D

Dude all my friends are righties but they all ride goofy. 7/7 do this.

WOW :/

Sebastian Köhler Öberg If you think that's weird I know more than a few people who skate regular and snowboard goofy. Wrap your mind around that haha

i ride a longboard and wakeboard goofy but i ride a ripsick regular o_0

Same here. Howd you make out? I got an eboard and im addicted to speed so i got a freeride board and tried it for 10 min and have no clue how to attempt to speedcheck and slide. I can ride my streets hill wot on my meepo 29mph or carve not usinging breaks. I get on the longboard and am scared to go over run off speed lol i think its mind over matter with the eboard i was scared to go over 15 by day 5 i was bombing steepest hills in town. Maybe ill keep trying.. i want the more exorcise while skating the neighborhood

@@jak3est I’m in bc, and we’re not locked down, and nice, sounds awesome. Also are the motors in the wheels bc if they are how will you replace them when they wear out? Just wondering

It’s hard to find decent instructionals I wish he would make more. He probably off teaching chemistry or physics at some university.

sector nine butter-balls are great for learning to slide, just make sure you change them round every few setions so that you don't get ones that are more worn than others

You can also use sector nine Skiddles, or Marshmallows, all pretty much the same thing, all personal preference.

Anything above 10-15 mph will *WORK* but it won't be a good slide. Now at 20-25 mph it will be a nice, controlled slide.

Baby slides. Get some speed and practice kicking the board out a little. Remember those set up carves are important. Your slides will grow! I still haven't slid like in the video but almost everyday I try, I slide a little more.

Trying it on wet pavement after a rainy day got me sliding a whole lot easier. Just stay aware of any puddles if you dont want to get your board wet

CrazyEddy First off, a flex board isn’t the best option to slides but it will work... make sure you have the right wheels a beginner should be using and if you don’t know what I’m taking about just research or ask your shop. Assuming everything you did was correct and youer still hitting the curb, you aren’t carving enough, if you can’t physically carve more experiment loosening your trucks a turn or two and hanging your back foot and and even your front foot off slightly.. a key rule is to not have your toes further back than flush with the side opposite to your heels... following this rule and having better carving along with the right wheels and practicing A LOT! Will make you learn this slide.. trust me it’s worth it.. if you stil can’t slide after all of this work make sure your glove down slides are perfected and just keep going faster and FASTER practicing carving and breaking traction until you eventually learn this slide.

s g just get new wheels

okay thx for your help I'll test it as fast as I can (probably tomorrow)

I got this problem when I was just start longboard ,try to get a huge carve and put all your weight on front foot, and throw all top part of your body to the opposite side, this will help

What's your setup? Just curious

Get some pads and a helmet, it'll make you more confident/comfortable to try it

nothing bad is gonna happen, if you have gear you are all good.

stop

ay heeelllzzzz yeaaaaahhhh

Regulars have more steez.

says you

Caden Richter who? me? you?

Dom G Hey mon whats that board on ya profile pic? It looks hella good!

Logan Jacobsen but they stop mattering more and more the faster you go and better you get since you have to turn less and get used to the kick out point of the wheel you ride
