Things to do before you slide your longboard 

I love the fact that u go into all these minor details that alot of videos just skimp over

Not fully confident about this guide! But let me know what you think. More on the slide stuff coming soon. **I'd say the main point of this video (and what your goals as a rider should be), is getting comfortable in the slide positions, and getting comfortable carving in them.

you are my teacher, thankyou very much!!!

7x✅ Videos complete in the playlist. This is a goodone. A lot of good drills and stretching techniques to think about. I will definitely have to come back to this one.

Best longboarding guide channel ever 🤙

Thanks alot bro this helped me alot

Side note :you should have mentioned what stretches you did that helped you with your flexibility

this is the best guide I've found and I've come back like 10 times already even thou I've just started few weeks ago. those small details make a huge difference

Love you videos, thank you!

Thanks for the video! Very professional and helpful.

exactly the video I needed ! The exercice at low speed with the good position but just carving is what I need to master first Thank you mate.

Great depth, love the videos :)

I love these videos!!!

I have a slight mental block for toe side because I had a scary highside once some time ago. Fortunately the weather was cooler then so I was very well padded up and didn’t get injured. A glove even flew off that time, no idea how. But yeah that’s the next thing I’ll be working on, now that I’ve finally made it down a 1 km hill using only heel side slides.

Pretty cool. Keep up the good work man!

Thank you! Always so helpful. Looking forward to progressing this year.

Your channel is awesome man, keep up the awesome work! And thanks for spreading the longboarding vibes! 😊

Thank you for any and all slide tips

kool tips man

Thank you for these suggestions! I’m newer to longboarding and this video has given me some great exercises to get more comfortable and confident in learning these things!

Thank you for this great step by step tutorial and for including the different views of the heel and toe side positions. Also, your tips for how to practice off road is really helpful for building up some confidence. I'm so looking forward to being able to slide. You are a fantastic teacher.

For folks who want tips on mobility, I suggest checking out GMB Fitness (a youtube channel). Great tips generally, and some specific to lower body (ankle/hip/squats, etc). The teacher, Ryan, lives in Japan and has a background in Jap martial arts and BJJ. Although he's a westerner, his tips seem to help westerners reach mobility comparable to asians (genetics n squat toilets = stronger+flexible knee/ankles).

These videos are super helpful mate! Gives me confidence, teaches me patience... and inspires my progression. Thank you! I'm working my way through your "Downhill Skill Tree"

Thank you for your great explanations. You have given me hope that I can skate without to much pain as you identified a few bad habits that I am doing that seem to be causing me pain in my back knee.

Great stuff. It’s always good to go back to basics. It would be great if you could do some more advanced stuff too.

I have a tip for these guides. To show the goofy form you could mirror the video and easily show the form for all us goofy riders out here!

Thanks for this! I have a 36" long board with normal trucks and soft 62mm 78a wheels...how much will this effect my ability to learn the techniques in your videos?

I really appreciate your mention of hip mobility, as that is what prevented me from doing quality hillside slides for well over a year. I was able to overcome the issue by doing the exact body weight squat you recommended.

When doing the toeside turn, should i feel strain on my back leg? Regular rider.

Thank you for these videos! I'm trying to get comfortable alternating hand dragging (e.g. 9:59), but I'm finding it difficult to manage my foot positions such that I can comfortably turn both directions. Once my speed is up, I'm pretty committed to my foot positions, but I sometimes find myself with very little authority in one direction or the other. Do you have any tips for this specific case? Thanks again!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I don't know how to foot brake but I do front side speed checks on my tugboat. I don't have the balls to do long slides though.

Hey i dont know if you'll see this but I have problems with my flexibility when crouched. what stretches would be useful to better my control and flexibility? i think my ankles might be whats wrong since i cant stay flat footed when reaching the floor. Thanks in advance:)

Is the landyachtz cheesegrater good for learning slides

Hey man are there any wheels in particular that you recommend? Just want to be pointed in the right direction, my wheels are Road Rider 72mm, 78a and after a while of use me and my mate crashed in each other at a high speed (we are fine) and i noticed a bit of the front wheel actually came off. Any wheels I should consider buying?

is it normal that it feels weird having the knee of your back foot leg going in front of your front foot leg knee or is it way more comfortable as soon as I ride at actual speeds - haven't properly tried heelside out because of that problem, toeside seems to come kind of natural to me. (goofy, experienced snowboarder trying to get into longboarding without getting heavily injoured)

Thats wild that you are more comfortable with toeside slides than you are heelsides. Im not gonna lie. I get going faster than 45 mph and i get terrified take a left turn ...btw im goofy footed. Iv had a few incidents where my footing was off and I didnt realize it and went to toeside slide or carve and iv gone highside and flew several feet and landed on my back. Plus i have way less control during my slide if its a toeside. If im doing a heelside slide iv got way more control on how long i slide, where I go in my slide, everything. My re-grip is safer feeling and if I do fall i dont go flying and land on my back or my side....i just fall backwards on my ass and burn whatever I have in my back pockets and usually rip the ass out of my shorts ....lol. Iv destroyed several phones , wallets.....u name it. Iv probably burned it or destroyed it from heel side slides ....lmao. Any tips on why I sometimes come out of a toeside slide if im going under 30 mph in switch. I cant ride good in switch and I have a problem with toesides leaving me riding switch when I re-grip. Any tips

Are you thinking about riding electric skateboard also?

When you do it stationary you feel like an old man
