  • can you do this on hard, rough, uneven concrete?

  • @GuruEdward Not really.

  • are all your wheels the same size? I keep hearing two different things, i hear have all wheels the same size is best, and then i hear having two smaller wheels in front, and two larger wheels in back? which configuration do you recommend? I am an experienced skater.

  • @msorokin1 Those particular skates are 76 all the way across, but it can be done with HiLo's too. Straight across is easier for sliding.

  • Thanks for your video (and responding to my previous comment months ago). I've learned to do this method fairly well.

    Do you find that you become less stable stopping using this method at higher speeds? I'm hesitant to try this when I'm going relatively fast. Or do you find that it's an appropriate stopping method at all speeds (at which you are comfortable skating)?

  • @djuatdelta123 It works well at high speeds, you just have to use a steeper angle.

  • @shoaibrasouli About the same...maybe even a little faster. PS I love that you called em tires.

  • Golf clap

  • I have rollerblade lesson and when I first try the power slide I keep falling down but the after I watch your video I improved and passed my power slide

  • so is this anything like stopping on ice skates? i play ice hockey but i'm going to try out roller tomorrow and would hate to go crashing into the boards if i try an ice skate approach.

  • I can already feel my legs breaking..

  • @schoolyardpuck If you use the side of your skate more than you do the wheels yes you can. Once your balance is set you can apply more pressure to the wheels to slow you down.

  • Now im not danger! The other time ir hit lady '-'

  • hell yeah , MAIDEN

  • Why can't you do this on ice?
