Progression Sessions 1: Toeside 180 Standup Slide

[01trecool01]

Love the bentleys

[GarrettGoodwin1]

i did mine first try at night on a dervish with no grip and 87 mm wheels

[merks91]

that pavement looks really sticky, aka not good for sliding. better pavement will help you learn it easier.

[LongboardATL]

@merks91 it actually is quite sticky! I just noticed that because I was riding on a rougher road earlier today and got like 10 perfect toeside 180s!

[ESSALongboarding]

I have always said to myself and my friends that there are 2 things that pretty much define longboarding - commitment. And progression. Good job trying out new tricks, thats what keeps me committed...

[homerman001]

carve and bend legs and push more

[CTLongboarding]

dude havent yu been slding for like over a year

[LongboardATL]

@CTLongboarding yes and no. I've been sliding that long, but i only have time to skate on weekends and when i do I usually just mess around and do a bunch of heelside pendys. Now I'm trying to learn new stuff though

[pafreeriders]

@LongboardATL Yeah I only get to skate on like 2 days during the weekend. You should take advantage of it like we are during break

[liamprum]

more speed and u need to carve into it

[puddleFTW]

don't push into the slide until you're already carving hard toeside. so a long heelside carve with speed into a short toeside carve, THEN into the toeside slide. and just commit. you'll get it with practice never give up!

[13jumo13]

Swing ur entire body

[NJboardsproductions]

what wheels are those?

[Itakazookie]

@NJboardsproductions zombie hawgs

[SlideYourSoul]

the are super tricky to learn.  keep trying!

[recyclops99]

ya you just need some more speed, that will help your wheels loose friction more easily.

[octavian300]

Heres your issue... GO FASTER. as scott from muirskate would say.

[LongboardATL]

@octavian300 I'll post another video tomorrow of me trying this goin faster! Thanks

[Gr8WhiteOO7]

When you go into it do a heelside carve and look over yur left shoulder and swing yur arms and you should be able to so it.

[Itakazookie]

@Gr8WhiteOO7 hes goofy so it would be right shoulder

[Gr8WhiteOO7]

@Itakazookie no its the left im goofy bro

[Itakazookie]

@Gr8WhiteOO7 I'm regular and I look over my left shoulder for toesides so one of us skates really funkily
