@frazier36 : I really think it's possible to power & check slides with any combination of deck/truck/wheels/ground.

-With gummy wheels, you'll have to commit a lot.

-Your feet have to be placed almost on the heel edge for frontside slides, and on the toe edge for bs slides.

-You really have to launch your torso, shoulder and arms into the movement.

-It's easier to practice on marble floor or on a wet road.

-I find it easier to do bs slides, but fs are safer.

-Wear helmet and pads!

I've been a street skater for years,like tre flips and all that but even with being so comfortable with the board,backside slides just feel awkward...I'll get em tho :)

@laxer7690 Loaded has better how-to's for sure, but don't rat on Gravity. Their boards are better than some of their videos =S

and this is why I have a loaded and not a gravity...
