Hey Matt good to see some sliding on short boards with hard wheels. Been wanting to get back on board for ages. I'm gonna be rusty but I'm sure it'll be like riding a bike..... you never forget!

@lngbrder888 Family is very well thanks. Don't really get out on the hills tho.... the usual things happened I changed job n work away so weekends are much shorter n more precious. Really wanna get back to doing some sliding tho always love watching it n know I have so much more stuff to learn n relearn..... surfings been going well tho N.devon gets hit up often. Will have to get out on the hill sometime be good to catch up with the old crews....: )

Will you be doing any competitions/sessions in Northwest England / North Wales? We're a bit sort on all of that :(

@njapostol For most of the stand up slides you want your weight going straight down the middle of you and through the middle of the board. This means that you are nice and stable and you can then start playing with manual stand up slides. It will also give you nice and clean 360's rather than pivots. Just watch loads of videos and get out and practice!!
