Inline Skating - Powerslide

[MrChoonify]

Is it possible to do perform this slide with 90mm?

[originalinlina]

@MrChoonify It is, but anything requiring agility on your skates becomes slightly more difficult as the wheel size gets bigger. It then comes down to your skill level.

[OmgItzLooteater]

FAIL..this isnt a powerslide a powerslide is sliding both feet sideways

[originalinlina]

@OmgItzLooteater See my other responses. It depends on where you are from as to what it is called.

[KommandoNeckartal]

it´s definitly not a powerslide, it´s a magic slide...

as sosickwalker said, the powerslide is done with parallel feet....

if you skated for 30 years, you should know this ;)

[originalinlina]

@KommandoNeckartal It depends on your country of origin and history. Slides with parrallel feet were always called powerslides when I skated on quads, then when inline skates came along it got called a hockey stop, meanwhile the technique in the video was named a powerslide on inlines. Some people need to accept that terminology is diferent based on where you come from and ultimately everyone can be right based on geography.

[CosteaCalin]

try forward...but cool

[OniAkuma15]

can you like... grind (is that the right term? o.o) on recreational skates?

[originalinlina]

@OniAkuma15 The term for what is in the video is slide, and yes you can use rec skates to do it.

[rbscarlett]

love it

[rbscarlett]

love it

[manxxx95]

how can u slide so much lol, im a pro at this on ice, but on street it doesnt slides...it stops imediatly..only if its wet

[originalinlina]

@manxxx95 The technique on inline is essentially the opposite to on ice. In order to slide your wheels, you need to lean them over onto the fat part of the wheel's profile, whereas on ice you slide best with the blade straight up and therefore not on an edge. You need to really bend your knees and stretch out to get the wheel to lean over enough.

[BlazeLMM]

omg:)

[nbnery]

Does that ruins your wheels?

What is the best way to stop without eating wheels off?

[originalinlina]

Yes, it chews wheels. Check my video of the stepping stop for a method that doesn't chew wheels.

[wojtek0000]

fatboy got it down.

[TheFLAvouroftheweak]

Both feet parallel is called a chop stop (among other things). This is a power slide.

[SoSickWalker]

I swear that is a hockey stop, a powerside is to feet parralell and sliding..

[originalinlina]

Nope.

[SoSickWalker]

dude thats a hockey stop...

[originalinlina]

Nope, it is definitely a powerslide. Been skating for 30 years and played inline hockey for over 10....I certainly know the difference between a powerslide and a hockey stop.

[classicman22]

hockey stop is a dead stop isnt it? and thats a t stop/powerslide?

[waffal66]

how do you do that

[originalinlina]

You're going to have to watch closer!

[Hykazu]

this is a different Powerslide from any I've seen before, it looks more like a stretched out T-stop, but backwards. The ones I've seen are more like the jump stomp stop, but slidey-er. Explain?

[originalinlina]

The 'slidey-er' jump stop is a cess slide or hockey stop...check my other videos for this. Some confusion comes into skating because the terminology is different on quads where a poweslide is to a quad skater what a cess slide or hockey stop is to an inline skater.

[BCskate94]

did you wax the ground cause it looks like you did, either that or you powerslid a LOT haha

[originalinlina]

What might look like wax it the urethane being left behind from my wheels!

[philliipp9933]

wat type of wheles u need for powerslices ?

[originalinlina]

You can use just about anything. The harder they are the easy is will be and the more you will slide. Softer wheels will stop you quicker but also wear quicker.

[afs824]

I have soft (82a) wheels and theyre are difficult to even get into a slide on.

[originalinlina]

Yes, they will make it more difficult than a wheel around the 85A+ range, but not impossible. Depends on the surface too.

[caosvalencia]

which song is the intro riff from?

I remember it from the Battle of the Year 2000 b.boying competition, they played it in the finals but I've never known the title...

[originalinlina]

I got it from Z-Trip's 'Listen to the DJ'...but I think it comes from somewhere else.

[JR113FTW]

need to work on both feet imo.

[originalinlina]

Ehhh? What do you mean.

[JR113FTW]

your power sliding with one foot..i just think both feet would look alot better

[originalinlina]

If it were done with two feet sliding, then it is no longer a powerslide. Two feet sliding is a cess slide or hockey stop. Check out my other videos for an example of that.

[JR113FTW]

gotya

[ledzep422]

u look like u r dancing

[originalinlina]

I guess I should control my arms a bit more....if that's what you mean??!!

[geoxc]

bullshit !!! I was try this and paralel slid and in one day I distoy 8 wheels

[originalinlina]

Depends on the surface you are on, the wheels you are using and how much you are doing it. If you are practicing this a lot, you need to do it on a smooth surface (smooth concrete or pavers are best) and hard wheels (84A or harder).

[jasonyeozhishen]

are u big and fat?

kk.. no jk..

but where u slide? lol

[porgeyisere1]

i went abiut 30mph and parallel stop i had no wheels after lol

[evhvariac1]

Fantastic And Terrific Getting Under There.

[meramerawolf242]

:3 pretty cool

[jackassunit22]

dosent moves like the power and cess slide fuck up your wheels?

[originalinlina]

Certainly wears them out quicket than if you don't use these methods to stop!

[thepuatohangel]

im better =D lol try going in an eagle position and using your front foot to slide its fun

[originalinlina]

By all means, post a video response and show us how good you are. Also, the other version you mention is a forward powerslide.

[scar504]

i think its nice that your over weight and your still good at skateing its inspriering to people like me who cant skate even when there skinny xD

[FritzundDani]

very good!

[02111998]

very good!

how long does it take to learn this?

[originalinlina]

Depends on your base skill level. If you can turn quickly and transition from forwards to backwards with ease, you are halfway there.
