WHY DID LET GO GET BLOWN OUT? (crys)

[Chachirobles]

i got a longboard, but it's one of them huge cruisers and i really wanna start doing this stuff. you think it's possible to do this on a normal street deck if i throw some high duro wheels on it? i know that slide boards are wider and longer than normal street decks, but i don't got the cash to get another board right now

[vueloify]

@Chachirobles you can slide on the street deck wheels, they are usually high duro.

[PeNdErAg0n]

Tech sliding's my true calling, been doing a lot of standies'n'shit erlier on my race boards, and now i've been riding my crewzer with slide-a's for two day's, thanks to this video i nailed BS 360 today, some really clean one's towards the end of the day, FS is alot harder though, doing the last half toeside is scary shit.

Sergio's style is unmatched, in the last 90 degrees of the BS 360 he holds it out like a regular 180, tried it and it's hard!

[iridelongboard]

come on guys... sliding that fast with no helmet...... you guys are amazing. i would hate to see any of yaall mess up and die

[TheeLongboarder]

[RHCPisthebestband]

this shit is so hard on a longboard.

[TuckerMadison]

@RHCPisthebestband on longboards its more of a dubble slide, not one fluid motion

[rlabayan]

i like your videos, really cool.

[Johmeyful]

Sergio is one sexy smooth operator.

[GDLongboard4life]

[rokprez]

@GDLongboard4life i like the video but you have the reason!! the helmet is needed promove!! sorry for my bad english but understand me xD

[GDLongboard4life]

[PeterPedroPaulo]

@GDLongboard4life shut the fuck up! peace

[PeNdErAg0n]

@GDLongboard4life

[Tubofluxar]

@GDLongboard4life

that's just stupid

[EmuKamikazexD]

@Tubofluxar not wearing a helmet is stupid

[95rupert]

i dont mean to be racist but... I CANT UNDERSTAND A THING SERGIO'S SAYING!!! i love him but, im not getting any of it... :(

[CCJG028]

@95rupert why would this statement be racist..?

[SwiftBoards]

omg thats so cool, im starting my own longboarding company if anyones interested. but thats a really cool vid.

[LegitLaxMAGS2111]

i love the random dog at 2:48

[RichSilence21]

[qwert371]

@RichSilence21 like 99a haha

[shredalert402]

No such thing as too low

[missbehavior01]

3:07 ele fala português =)

[831danz]

Makes me wish I was from brazil instead of white cause sergios got so much style on the whites...

[tsabo0g]

i dunno, man- chrisl dahl and make benda tend to ooze character too. and that mike short guy's got some serious spark. although, aside from sergio and cookiehead- the gravity team is pretty vanilla.

[DUVOODUtattoo]

noooo kra vc e teatral deeeeeeemaaaaais !!! seu ingreis e federal !!! very guuuuuud !!!!!

[nerdpoke]

Show the skills please.

I love Sergio. He's so funny.

[longboard2live]

that is hard lol especially with 75a wheels

[0zzyJoe]

the lanky guy with red shorts looks way to low, i mean they're saying go low but still. overboard?

[Talis64]

tasty hils

[greenguys]

...always!

[minijuggalohomie]

do u go threw wheels 4 those real fast?..

[ICatchMoreFrogs]

Well, the lower the durometer for your wheels is, the faster they're going to wear. It's also easier to slide if you use high duro wheels. you should use around 90+, the harder the better.

Also, bearing spacers help too. Your bearings will last longer and you get more even wear on your wheels, so less flat spots.

[JkAllDayHills]

@ICatchMoreFrogs low duro is for more grip and less slide, they will wear down faster because they are softer and ment for control on corners. when they do eventually wear down you can slide with them (i am sliding on 75duro atm) . wheels with higher duro can be slide as soon as you throw them on. 90+ duro seems a little dangerous if you ever pick up too much speed.

[beepenstein]

when he says "compressing" and "uncompressing" does he just mean weighting and unweighting?

[MJKam11]

just nailed them, hells yes

[HIMFAN108]

WOW ty guys :)

[gabirobaa10]

what is the hardest, f/s or b/s ?

[yoyolillies]

learning frontside is just more scarry....

[baassmasta]

It doesnt matter which ever is harder for you.

[j3pb]

Which is the size of the board recommended for this?

[shingolio]

so third vid i watched.....now im positive that i need a board shorter than my 45'...nd ould i need slide wheels or can i keep my grip wheels?

PS

im still pree new at longboarding

[mystiktrueno]

you can slide pretty much any board. and depending on the wheels, you just have to break them in.

[cuzz467]

nah any board is good a 45 is good when it becomes almost impossible i think it is when it's like in the 50's just get some hard wheels like earthwing or abec11 noskoolz,strikers get then in a (86a) or higher no lower if you are a beginner what you want to look for is the durometer to be higher than 86 the durometer is basically the a next to the number like if your say (78a) then thier soft so just look for that with a 86 or higher ohh and dnt get bigzigs or zigzags they aret ment for sliding

[Bloodstainguitar]

I wish they didnt do standing up but more on things like pressure spins and colemans, but I guess its not really sergio's style.

[Bhenjax]

like a , like a , like a

[huirosnake]

sick sliding bro, im starting to slide, i got me a 85a wheels, compared to those is much harder to slide 360 as smooth as that?, im getting it , but i can tell that those wheels are much harder...,.,

sick shit maaan! i love to slide jehehehe really high

[Raskhh]

wow i saw all the videos and your guys would make good teachers

[simms142]

thats some gnarly sliding dudes

[MostWantedSliders]

what kind of trucks are you using?

[Nicc67]

first of all i cant describe how gr8 this clips are. But my question is: what side is easyest to learn to do 360s, toeside or healside?

[daniel6677]

toe, way easyier

[cwalba]

healside

[Bloodstainguitar]

healside

[paulinocesar]

Ehehe... Alguns gringos daqui defecam pela boca.

[Gibbyx6]

sooo sick

[FlailingDutchman]

Don't get me wrong, I've always had the utmost respect for Serg's skills; he could whoop my ass blindfolded, with both hands tied behind his back. But man...he acts like such a dork! I'm not sure it's just cultural differences, either.

But I guess when you have badass skills like he does, you can get away with being a retard, too. :)

[khurlyfry]

hes from brazil. doubt you know two languages.

[FlailingDutchman]

I don't see how your comment was relevant in the slightest, but...ok. Yes, I know where he's from. And being bilingual is hardly a big deal; MOST people speak at least two languages. Relative to the rest of the world's population, the US and Canada are unusual in that most of their citizens are monoglots. Personally, I am fluent in two languages, and can muddle my way through two others; a fact which doesn't make me (or any other multi-lingual person) special in the slightest.

Again; relevance?

[MJKam11]

I think he's pretty cool, he's like so hyped.

[dking504]

finally got these toeside the otherday, so stoked man. They're not that hard to pull up into a manual 360 slide too if you're not going that fast

[BrianRipley]

i'd bet money that sergio is faded

[jimdunlop123456789]

Man sergio is soo smooth.

[100meta]

chris dahl owns sergio

[rafaelfj0]

ignorant

[rafaelfj0]

if Chris Dahl owns sergio, why isnt him a world champion?

[deadaimer]

i think dahl is better at hands down slides but sergio owns at standup and laybacks

[dili2]

i totally agree with you if you watch some skate vids from both you can tell the difference in thier styles dahl does some crazy penjulem slides etc while sergios got crazy 360+ stand up slides.

[tonywashere234]

crackheads

[hityrun]

trisixtios

[kenny06nz]

thats awshum man, normal wheels and everytthing?

[deadaimer]

no, they are special wheels that are harder, and usually larger than normal skate wheels

the deck is also specially made for sliding

[maforce]

*if by normal skate wheels you mean shortboard and not longboard. shortboard<sliders<longboard wheels. just thought id add to it

[LuftgitarrenRocker]

ya nice bomb!^^

[ccmferic]

Nice hat Jesse. Go lance.

[muirsurf]

Nice Sergio!! A lot harder than it appears.

[maxporsche]

Sergio = bomb!

[DayDayFlow]

segrio is a funny dude
