Hi. First-thanks to my buddy, Hector for protecting me while trying this - eventhough no traffic; except resident near bottom of Goldilocks hill. Haha.
Second: I felt comfortable entire time and in control, however, still wore full helmet and back/chest protector just in case.
A lot time to learn the skill, but glad I tried it.

See you next video.

Your doing great dude!! Huge progress. No matter how good you get, the traffic will always cut you off so just get comfortable expecting them to do it. I'm always down to teach new longboarders so if you ever come up to the NorCal Sierra Nevada mountains you can hit me up and I'll show you some good freeride and downhill

Wicked rad and thank you. Heading to San Antonio, TX for work so will need to find new hills. Agree on the traffic - as I’m learning - to never let your guard down and prepare to stop quickly. Thank you, again for support and open invite. 🙇🏻‍♂️🤘

Nice! Looking relaxed and calm around traffic. Keep in mind that ppl in vehicles usually have no idea what we're doing, so if possible, it's definitely safer to shut down at every risky encounter (such as the pickup truck at 1:16). We train to stay calm and relaxed so that we can shutdown calmly. With more calmness and relaxation during skating, it may lead to some hairy situations, but always try to go behind a vehicle if possible. Cutting in front of a vehicle is quite risky imo. Also, one more safety tip is to try to shutdown near the curb - not near the middle like you did at 1:35. How to shutdown near the curb? All you gotta do is initiate your shutdown while looking at the curb or, at the very least, looking downhill. If you look at 1:35, your initiation was sort of looking downhill, which should work in a straight. But since this is a right turn, you actually ended up in the middle after the slide. One goal you could accomplish next is to practice shutdown accuracy. Instead of marking where to slide, mark where you want to stop and try to repeat that until you're more and more precise. Good luck as usual! Enjoy!

Thank you. Good points on near curb and aiming for where to stop vs initiating slide. Actually did the aiming with stop point with pedestrians on the larger San Diego hill this past weekend. Shutting down calmly on my terms vs others…yeah, quite a long way to go, but thanks.

You can start looking into a more streamlined tuck stance now

@cantskate5535 Ай бұрын

I was considering that since I feel more comfortable in standing up on the board. Actually did more steep hill later, that I failed on previously, but actually carved more and air braked with solid controlled Coleman’s.

You should practice on your shut down slides toeside/heelside before hitting bigger hills with plenty of traffic

@cantskate5535 Ай бұрын

Thanks and agree on more controlled practice. Eventhough it was a one off car, who ran the stop sign, that’s all it takes. Will be aiming for in the future stopping point and reversing into carving and set up carve.

@TheSilverblade41 Ай бұрын

might I suggest perfecting the heel shutdown before going to the open road? no hate here i'd just like to have you not almost triple pendy into a car.

@cantskate5535 Ай бұрын

Thanks and always open to suggestions. What do you mean heel shutdown? Not familiar with the term.

@clemssierbaument9025 Ай бұрын

I don't know if there's a difference but it's worth working on getting smoother into the 1st 90° of your slide. You can practice this skill predrifting into a sharp turn. Is the shut down a stop without going pendy like the classic coleman I 'd like to know ? Anyway don't scare drivers it might make people hateful against our skate community. Is it your friend honking in the 1st clip ?

@cantskate5535 Ай бұрын

@@clemssierbaument9025 yes, agree on getting smoother and have been working on that. Aiming for my stop and not just setup carve/carve. No, it wasn’t my buddy who honked-angry motorist who blew stop sign because city utility truck was making wonky uturn at stop. Definitely cautious about not wanting to give bad perception of downhill community. Most all my stops that session were not as close as this one, but that’s because it was my first time over 30 mph and didn’t have good timing/control. Street/road is normally not that busy, but then again - all it takes is one driver. Have been using air braking a lot and it appears I’m best in control until 28 mph. So continuing to stay in 25-28 with solid stop where I aim.

@@cantskate5535 try to grab rail to increase contol in your slide to help with keeping your weight over your board ,but remember that that will also make the drift more directional. a heel side shut down for me personally means one pendy turning with your weight on your heels and coming to a complete stop. the more wheight that is evenly distributed on all 4 wheels the cleaner your slides will become.

@cantskate5535 Ай бұрын

@@TheSilverblade41 thank you. I may start doing that (grab rail) - since my form with speed has improved. I stopped using rail because it became a bad habit (over pulling) and straining my arm. Like you said, it will help me get over the board and control better.
