Best Coleman slide session | 3 boards

Hi. What an awesome session for my buddy Hector and I. Most impressed with how little Hector practiced recently, yet his Coleman slides were the best he has done with consistency.
So much fun just enjoying practice.
Looking forward to slowly transitioning/turning downhill to continue. Currently we’re doing one precarve and stopping.
See you next video.

Well, here you go. First comment five minutes after posting. Good job. 57 here. Been knocking of some cobwebs around my neighborhood in NH. Moved back here from Morro Bay, CA last year.

Wicked cool and great you’re still active at 57. 🤘How are hills in NH compared to CA? I went to college in RI, summer home in ME growing up in south NJ.

My neighborhood is perfect for what I’m trying to accomplish - which is fun fitness and keeping my skate game going. California hits are different animal. I met Cliff Coleman several times out there. A friend of mine in California is pretty friendly with a bunch of old skate dogs.

@@UltimateHomer always an element of fun & fitness is key. Whoa-you met Cliff multiple times? Wicked rad. What an icon and hall of fame inductee. Crazy he was still competing in his 70’s. 🤯

[@cantskate5535]

@@UltimateHomer I would definitely agree.

You need to go at least twice that speed to succeed in bringing the board back around to continue skating down hill. You pretty much have the technic sorted. The speed will complete the missing piece.

[@cantskate5535]

Cool and thanks. Will work on increasing speed.

Ahhh, I just realized, if you positioned your footstop & torque block the right way for regular stance, it won't work for goofy stance. Your friend may have issues using the board that you've specifically set up for regular stance.

[@cantskate5535]

Thanks and no worries. He is going to buy his own board, trucks, etc. to set up.
