[@legendz408]

I swear if our education system offered classes with teachers half as good as u we would have already terraformed mars by now.

[@tommy1523]

facts bro

[@johnkennethacera6905]

Thanks

[@EmdeeScaleModels]

Outstanding explanations...as a snowboard instructor of 35 years, I’m VERY impressed with your teaching technique. I’m watching this 9 years after you recorded it...hope you’re using these teaching skills in some sphere! 👏🏽

[@curtisb492]

This is the best slide tutorial on KZbin. I can slide because of this. Repping it for the goofies too.

[@vector8310]

His repping for goofies certainly made my day.

[@thepanman8]

That was intense at 6:10mark

[@MaalysWorld125]

Shoutout to the Goofies 🤙🏾 I’m here learning. I’ll be shredding in no time.

[@ellulturner]

everyone crying about the camera man's breathing anyone else not notice or care at all lmao.

[@snoopyr88]

I don't usually comment, but u have a natural talent for teaching. Thank you

[@weeeeee831]

Maybe I should have watched this video BEFORE I broke my collar bone. xD

[@emanbossmantgeman1390]

Hahaha same broo how long did yours take to heal?

[@weeeeee831]

emanbossmantgeman about 3 months. They made me wear some harness thing that forced me to walk like I had a stick up my ass lol

[@79havanna]

+Josh Strutt mine healed in 2 weeks lol

[@johnfresh44]

+zutautiz1 You guys are lucky lol, mine broke in 2 places so I needed surgery

[@samzahler9502]

if its been two years it likely never will...

[@doomduckmedia]

Hi everyone! Really happy this is helping you all out, thanks a bunch for the views and likes!

[@007danielsc]

Holy Fuck!!! Excellent video man!!! Thanks a lot for this!!!

[@FinIsAlmostHuman]

+doomduckmedia hey i cant seem to kick out the board enough for me to properly slide

[@thenermy5131]

great video homie

[@jamesbond007246aweso]

+FinIsAlmostHuman try putting more of your weight on front foot

[@yotokan]

+doomduckmedia Damn Son, this the best video I've seen yet!

[@soulifam]

One of most thorough and best tutorials on heel-side checks and stand-up slides. Worth every minute. Good work, kid.

[@joshtran3232]

Yo this is the best slide tutorial it's actually detailed on what to do

[@doomduckmedia]

300k views! That's awesome. Thanks to everyone for commenting and liking, I know it's you guys who have helped me teach thousands of people to slide!

[@9DmgDone]

Your cool bruh

[@brennanwinkler1969]

As a nerd, I needed a nerd to explain this to me. Thank you.

[@avrggamer8358]

most in depth i have ever seen

[@eyedflea904]

7 years and I’m learning from this thanks man

[@lumberjackthirsttrap3676]

It’s hard to find decent instructionals I wish he would make more. He probably off teaching chemistry or physics at some university.

[@thebeginner941]

I've watched several videos on sliding/speed checking and this is far and away the most detailed and informative one I've seen. Really wish there were hills around here.

[@yogijeffrey]

After watchin this video I went outside and did my first stanf up slides. Thank you. Bless

[@wavyhead]

Great video. I ride goofy so this video helps a lot.

[@alexkonakov1142]

Goofy bois!!!

[@wess6838]

oolek who rides skateboard goofy and snowboard regular?

[@AnasCavaliers]

me!!

[@heroryan7859]

I ride goofy too, I think more people are right footed when setting there foot on the board, so goofy should become regular and regular should become goofy 🙃

[@sebastiankohleroberg2980]

Jesus man thanks, this was really informative. I'll try this tomorrow.

[@andrewskigordon4941]

Dude, you broke it down to wear I could understand how to slide, Thanks man

[@scottystillskates]

I watched it in a mirror made sense as a regular footer. Thanks great video!

[@jed4439]

You're a good teacher of all the videos I've seen this is the most thorough. I feel confident I will be able to slide with this advice! Thank you man! Hope you have a good day and skate well🤙🏼

[@mths-irk]

The best stand up slide tutorial video I have ever seen, clear and detailed. Will definitely help me improve my slides. Congrats man!

[@cameroncurtis3165]

How come you've explained this better then most of the pros I've been trying to figure this out from?

[@kirkalvarez09]

I'm 29 and new to longboarding, recently found this sport as a new passion. This is the most educational video I found online. Thank you and please keep it up!

[@demiccabako2040]

DUDE you are like the ultimate guru. bravo.

[@liammcguigan1783]

Dude, awesome video. Really clear, well-shot and informative. If I'd watched this a little sooner I may not have destroyed my right knee on a hill near my house.

[@HowToMakeCostumeProps]

Thanks! when pros tell you how to do this in videos, all they tell you is to kick out. You had a really in depth video. This really helped.

[@JEGarden]

This video absolutely helped me figure out how to get a good slide going! It was my first time trying them out and even tho I ate it pretty hard today I feel A LOT more confident about pulling off slides. Keep up the good work guys!

[@GoProshosoccer]

Seriously, this is the best trick tip video i've yet to see also. He seems intelligent and breaks it down formulaically. Really lays down what to do, and why. sick stuff!

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Wow , Really love how you broke this down and even able to instill confidence in others. Thanks.

[@DEVILDoG-0311]

best video yet that I have found for beginner boarders. Thanks

[@DashSpaceski]

Thanks mate this is a really ood tutorial very detailed, Which is essensial for learning,You are a very good teacher. Thanks for the help. Keep it up you are one fresh cat! peace, Dasha

[@petercampbell8594]

Seven years later and it’s still the best video on this

[@notectrl]

[@ChistianWalldorff]

This is a long video, but it's as long as it needs to be. Too often I see people making 3 minute videos on how to slide..they don't help. This guy actually goes over everything! Nice video man!

[@SkyelarHead]

Best and most in depth sliding tutorial. Good job

[@johan185wrestler7]

Thank you for the great advice-easy to understand and very educational.

[@Cyromantik]

This is possibly the best slide braking tutorial I've seen on the internet, thank you so much for your in-depth stance, arm and balance techniques, thanks for taking the time to do this video!

[@WolfPack22]

i know how to do standies but this is the best tutorial ive ever seen... its hard to explain how to do it because after awhile you kinda do it naturally but this was spot on. great job bro

[@doggiking]

this helped me understand how to do this SO MUCH BETTER than any other tutorial thank you so much for really going into detail keep up the good work!

[@dewyorkciti532]

This has to be one of the best self explain skurfing videos I've seen.

[@sparkey09ful]

This is the best explained video I have seen yet! The detailed and methodical explanation of what you’ve demonstrated is excellent!!! I give you 5 stars! This is going to really help me! Thank you!

[@joshwaller8176]

thank you so much. so detailed and the best how to ever, i got them in only a couple of tries then coming back and re watching i can get a solid 5-8 meters in only a day! :) good job dude

[@renegadejohnson1255]

Excellent technical instructional video that stayed articulate all the way through. Great minds think alike!

[@hardyharhar801]

Most tutorials dont cover decompression and compression. This helps tremendously. Thx!

[@Lainabell1496]

Definetly the most helpful video I have seen about how to do this slide

[@thomasbode6758]

Best tutorial I have ever watched. Greetings from Germay, Tom

[@elbuhdai605]

This is the most detailed and helpful tutorial for sliding! Hopefully I'll be able to nail this in the coming weeks thanks to your tips so I no longer have to ride my speed out and pass my destination if it's at the bottom of a hill

[@blockmanfries5637]

The most underrated goat of longboarding

[@sakinano99]

wow this guy really knows his shit. i love the way you talk about compression and decompression, thanks for the tips

[@ThenextJohnnyCrack]

RESPECT BRO ! .. Thanks for this amazingly informative video. It really filled in all the gaps i had about stand slides. thank you for taking the time. Big love from Sri Lanka

[@kevincox1702]

I've been struggling with this speed check as a new rider and your is one of the most thorough videos I've seen thanks man!

[@wingsauce888]

Fantastic video! That flatspot-avoidance tip of angling your front foot was genius and incredibly helpful.

[@KaseyDoesThings]

I got a lot more from this video than I expected.. killer job man. Very well thought out and presented.

[@markwilliamson7787]

2023, found no better toturial on this specific topic. I powerslided on skateboards a thousand times, doing it on a longboard, just isn't that easy. TY

[@trw45q]

I think this is one of the best videos I've found on the subject. It takes time(also some gear changes, wheels specially) but my form is getting quite good and I'm watching it again for more fine tunning. Too bad the most recent video is 3 years old, I'd really like one for heelside checks.

[@younghex9577]

This helped so much. Just like everyone in the comments said very informative. Thank you

[@Shramir]

I live in Northern Virginia; your neighborhood looks and sounds identical to mine :) Thanks for your detailed videos; they are a huge help

[@ganon420]

This may be from 2012 but it is still a great video. I just found it. I hope now in 2019 you are teaching. Cause you seem to have a gift for it. Good luck and I hope you are still riding.

[@cgiverin]

I think this is the best stand up slide tutorial on youtube. Good job.

[@trixster198]

You guys make the best tutorials that I have ever seen in my life. Thank you soooooo much. You guys have helped my stop flatspotting my wheels and extend my slides. Once again, thank you!

[@Yoyochandler]

Definitely the best longboard tutorial maker on KZbin.

[@jaeronmoreno3224]

This is a great video man! Thanks for all the details, i can't wait to learn how to stand up! I've been looking for a good video for a while, thanks!

[@PatriceNantel]

This is by FAR the best explained video for that move! Yes it takes 17 minutes but it was needed to do a proper kob. Thank you so much for your help... You should really think going into teaching...you're a natural for this job. Kudos once again!

[@cantskate5535]

Best video that explains so much, but also goes into clear detail without confusion. 🙏 Barely starting and I can see all my mistakes of which big ones are, set up, foot position and body position.

[@The_PlushRush]

Wow this is an awesome breakdown. I've watching plenty of sliding videos without any explanation and this breakdown is perfect. I've been trying to break into a slide like this and your video points out a lot of what I'm doing wrong.

[@MicahWedemeyer]

Great videos, dude. I've watched several, and you're one of my favorite longboard teachers. Makes me excited to get out on the asphalt and try out your tips.

[@mariohenriquetomassi8272]

Greetings from Brazil, mate! Thank you very much for this well shot video. I have fallen 2x because I can't freaking break! I'll start my practice tomorrow. Thanks again!

[@ohmpoingpoing]

awesome, this is the kind of step by step and deconstruction of a speed check I needed. Cheers bro!

[@5outherncal1]

This is the best educational stand-up slide video I have seen thus far...good job fellas

[@evoxlbae402]

Nice video. Very detailed, I'm gonna watch this again when I get my new longboard

[@JGBishop24]

Superb tutorial, it's nice seeing someone explaining these stuff in detail. Thanks a lot!.

[@lexcardentey7612]

Great video and great explanation, you are not only a good skateboarder but also very articulate when teaching.

[@inappropriatecontent2589]

the most detailed and comprehensive videos on this I've ever soon! thank you!

[@ohno421]

You're a great teacher. I look forward to more of your videos.

[@Pastafield]

Really good explanation man! It's good to see someone take time to fully explain the technicalities

[@kaiolsen1413]

The most helpful sliding vid on KZbin love it

[@ThirstyCrankyWalrus]

just started riding a pintail, my first longboard i have always skateboarded though. first ride and i can keep a slide thanks a lot very helpful!

[@tom999]

great tutorial! Learning slides in 2023 at the age of 49!

[@loganjacobsen7978]

what I've learned from sliding is that set up carves are everything.

[@neuvation6607]

Logan Jacobsen but they stop mattering more and more the faster you go and better you get since you have to turn less and get used to the kick out point of the wheel you ride

[@TheNeonbuffalo]

"We dont want it, we already did that video" that made me crack up. Nice vid by the way Subed

[@rustyshackleford3278]

Awesome tutorial, huge help thank you. Glad you mentioned not to slide at 90° or it will cause flat spots, as you mentioned the foot placement is key

[@xXTHELEECHXx]

EXCELLENT video man!! I like the attention to detail on everything you explained. Helped me out a lot. Thanks!!!

[@Shibumi1979]

Amazing video. Very well recorded and the narrator is very clear in his explanations.

[@tinbapakk]

Your trick tips are the best of the interweb. Thanks.

[@itsmrairsoft]

this is the first video ive ever seen on youtube without a whole bunch of negative comments :)

[@electricwillman]

Excellent Video and instruction. Very, very technical and that's great. Most vids just say "do this..." and show someone doing a slide (mmmm, to some degree). but Ben, you've done a really good job with this. Thank you!

[@BigWarningSign]

No ones on the streets because of the covid thing so I figured it was time to learn to slide.

[@jak3est]

Same here. Howd you make out? I got an eboard and im addicted to speed so i got a freeride board and tried it for 10 min and have no clue how to attempt to speedcheck and slide. I can ride my streets hill wot on my meepo 29mph or carve not usinging breaks. I get on the longboard and am scared to go over run off speed lol i think its mind over matter with the eboard i was scared to go over 15 by day 5 i was bombing steepest hills in town. Maybe ill keep trying.. i want the more exorcise while skating the neighborhood

[@BigWarningSign]

@@jak3est I’m in bc, and we’re not locked down, and nice, sounds awesome. Also are the motors in the wheels bc if they are how will you replace them when they wear out? Just wondering

[@nigelhutt9921]

A really informative video, many thanks for such a clear explanation on the various stages.

[@StokedToPush]

Thank you for this trick tip Ben. Your in-depth and detailed explanation defiantly helped me an insane amount. (Especially the "Compression/Decompression" talk) DoomDucks videos and tutorials rock, keep it up!

[@13002066]

You are a very good teacher! Outstanding video. Thanks for your efforts!!

[@peacemaniac267]

I love how some people are asking about his setup and he says it right in the beginning.

[@blowenfuse]

Thanks man, this really helped. I wasn't shifting my weight onto the rail at the front and the backside kept on whipping around. Help a lot :)

[@azocaruk1]

well explained. Excellent video.

[@jackpooperstein9138]

This is by far the best tutorial i've seen. Great explanantions

[@bullyhunter_7773]

Dude, it's like my friend Justin!! DUDE YOU ARE SO GREAT WITH A CAMERA JUSTIN I DIDn'T KNOW YOU KNEW HOW TO KEEP STILL!! XD

[@laurendigiovanni4385]

Great video man!! this helped me out soo much not only with my slide but the selection of my board type as well.

[@creativecomputerlab9965]

Thanks! You're a natural teacher.

[@theawsomesquirrel]

Thank you so much, i was getting really frustrated with longboarding, as i was not progressing, but this video really helped and i am now getting back into my freeride, so just reall, thanks. :)

[@marvinhong8514]

thanks for your hard work.

[@kevinmurray8089]

wow, very informative. A little lenghthy but it was definatly worth the wait. you are great at explaining this, awsome video. can you make one on heelside presdrift that would be awesome

[@Strangy87]

thank you! really helpful! Finally I understand the meaning of compression and decompreession
