  • Dude i just get a brand new sector nine 75A 69mm wheels are they good for sliding?! thx bro!

  • @sccp10094 Your wheels are a bit on the softer side for sliding at 75a. If you want a more slide specific wheel check out the Orangatang Durian, Stimulus, or Fat Free wheels.

  • What board is that? Please respond =)

  • @AnthonySupernova9  Loaded Vanguard

  • is it a good idea to slide w/ o-tang 4 pres orange 80a? they seem to grippy to slide.

    help!

  • @TheItalianCanLax They will break in after some use. If you want a wheel that slides right out of the box, try the Orangatang durian, or stimulus wheels. The 4 pres wheels have sharper edges that make them a little harder to slide, but when the hard edges round off a little they will slide easier.

  • @stormonmormon yes they will work

  • Thanks I want to know how to do that second one in case I really need to brake.

  • I've read some comments about "de-weighting" or "un-weighting" the board around Youtube...How exactly does this work? Do you basically compress then decompress or do you have to do a little hop or jump? 

  • hey i have a Santa Cruz 78a 65mm, will that work for sliding?

  • thnx bro really helped

  • nice video it really helped me learn to slide

  • i've made my own longboard with vault wheels and trucks its pretty good quality i also use vault slide gloves i live on a mountain with like 20 other long boarders so its pretty cool

  • Loaded Tan tien deck+paris 180mm trucks+o-tang stims (86a)= the best setup for sliding ever!

  • i have abec 11 zigzags reflex 81a, could i slide iwth them, they have straight edges so im thinking no but ima just wondering?
