From ZERO to COLEMAN Slide Under 15 Days

[@beingarealballa]

The vlog is LATE, jk who cares. Happy Friday! And drop some ideas about my next must learn thing.

[@colindupee]

I find toe-side carving much less sketchy, so I started with push-up slides. Trying to coleman taught me how weak my heel-side carving was.

[@Cmar999]

Great job, right now I’m trying to Learn how to longboard and this is motivation.

[@beingarealballa]

thanks! Best of luck!

[@lhblee7172]

so happy for you, can't stop smiling myself.

[@life.of.Quinten]

5:22 wet roads can help learn to slide, but make sure to dry your board off quickly after and use old bearings because even a little water can wreck your bearings

[@gavincleland9010]

I’d like to keep seeing your progression. If you want, pick up some footbrake soles to get more life out of your shoes. Practice your racing tuck to get your back flat, and parallel to the road. Keep working on that Coleman, get your toe side drifts and heel side drifts around corners figured out. After that I think it’s time to practice stand up slides! Would be much easier to handle that step on a more advanced longboard setup though

[@lindasmidnightsnackreviews]

Great video!! I’m just starting out so this is just what I needed. Thanks! 👍

[@sergiofilho7845]

Damn this was too good, thanks for share your journey, it was very funny and technical, this is the dose of motivation every beginner who are struggling needs, thanks a lot man.

[@yaro8860]

Very cool video! The falls were weirdly enough the most inspirational thing about this since I haven't seen many beginner longboarder videos! Keep up the good work

[@LaLtheGaL]

Seriously. This is one of the best how to's. In terms of breaking down the steps and seeing the thought process. Very motivating. Glad you got it! I'm too scared to practice by myself. That is one thing holding me back.

[@beingarealballa]

I know it may seem scary. But after first time you try it, the thrill takes over! lol Take your board to a quite mellow road just to get the feeling.

[@chachiolivares5664]

I'm proud of you man...I'm 38 years old and started longboarding at 33......I still haven't even tried sliding....lmao.....way to go!

[@beingarealballa]

Thanks so much!

[@novazo1]

Yeah I need to learn how to Coleman and get a helmet. Took a nasty fall yesterday gonna stop riding until I'm all healed up again and get a helmet and stuff. Been lucky, not feeling like pushing it anymore.

[@beingarealballa]

knee pads and gloves are charm too

[@johnwouters9835]

this might be my favorite longboard video. all around great job love the included fails, torn pants and shoes, check.

[@beingarealballa]

Haha, thanks so much man. To the clothes shops then!

[@masonthornburgh7508]

It helps a lot to grab the rail of your board. For cornering grab the front, and for sliding grab the middle.

[@beingarealballa]

Been tried a few times and I'm not sure if that's best for beginners. It is way too easy to go stinky bug and caught up with your front edge. Nasty things happen after :-o

[@jsquaredm]

I started sticking some 180 coleman slides after only about and hour or two of pracitce with my Sector9 PreBuilt! I just ordered the correct wheels so hopefully that'll help.

[@stectom]

Well done! It looks like your board has pretty grippy wheels (2:34), possibly they would be sliding more controllably at faster speeds. Did you experiment with other wheels hardness, shapes/sizes?

[@beingarealballa]

Thanks man! Not really to be honest. I may do a sequel about how I started modifying the pre-built deck and experiences.

[@VivaLuisyana]

You "fall" so gracefully. Great shot at 7:04. We admire your persistence! Sometimes we are so quick to fail and simply quit. You are amazing.

[@beingarealballa]

The only real failing is quitting. Skating is not all about talent but mileage. Thank you very much for your comment!

[@VivaLuisyana]

Well said! We love watching you 🙌

[@Dureeks]

You're incredible! Been skating for 8 years and I still can't coleman! Maybe this month I'll get it :)

[@beingarealballa]

Wow, did not expect that! Thanks bro, appreciate it!

[@gavincleland9010]

Bro honestly I learned it in a few days but it was a lot of going up that hill and doing it over and over again. Wear pads, drink plenty of water

[@deaddave9739]

You have to practice often, even if you manage to do a trick if you don’t practice again you can lose the skill pretty fast, my advice is to keep practicing it every day and soon you’ll get the muscle memory down

[@ballagina]

I'm curious what will be the next trick you learn. 😊

[@sb_sharing_account]

Little advice you should put your rear foot on the side

[@hillarydelaney9802]

What helmet is sliding on the pavement?? Really cool shot haha

[@jonathanforlin1854]

Very good, watching your failed attempts helps me learn better then watching pros just bang out slides. Round edge wheels would have made it even easier, but then I spent $70CDN on my slide wheels. Your budget board works and proved that anything works.

[@beingarealballa]

Thanks man, I'm glad my falls help others :D

[@zx10dev87]

For future reference water is bad for your bearings

[@beingarealballa]

Absolutely right, I just needed a break through in my progress

[@Dr_Footbrake]

Devin Wright stainless steel bearings and machine grease - might roll a little slower but you’ll be able to ride through water with minimal bearing degradation

[@DanielKwan]

Nicely done. I'm pretty sure just getting competent at skating took me much longer than 15 days.

[@beingarealballa]

thanks man! Guess I'm still far away from competent though, lol

[@joeltibbits7621]

Anyone catch the “grand book of internette “

[@samcolonius2566]

You gotta work on your tuck and for slide wheels it's not the duro that makes it easier to slide it's the urethane formula and the ones your using are cruiser based, also you never want to skate dh with a flexy deck

[@zx10dev87]

I love this

[@beingarealballa]

thanks man, appreciate it

[@karemare6426]

cool video/little project, that's what it is!

[@beingarealballa]

thanks so much!

[@spadelump]

Great tips 👍

[@beingarealballa]

thanks!

[@lewisperez1606]

Good work.. But loose the marker..I hate it

[@lostmemory5018]

The city that I live without a short slope that allow me to try T.T. I am waiting until I finished my high school and move to a less crowded city

[@beingarealballa]

You can go for a less crowded country side rode to try slides. But don't forget to have your friends as spotters

[@gavincleland9010]

I just left San Antonio Texas after 5 or 6 years of skating almost every day in one of the biggest cities in America. If you look hard enough for a spot to skate you will definitely find something.

[@aznverse9618]

Umm In a couple of hours I learned to do a perfect slide. Probably because on a skateboard I had practice doing stand ups.

[@aanoniem4534]

Lmao have the same

[@adamdauble914]

If it was on a skateboard it’s much easier. I learned it as well on a skateboard, but still can’t on my longboard. The softer wheels grip the ground making it harder to slide. So you have to learn at high speeds.

[@hectorsantana5461]

Good video

[@Amanjain-yo8nx]

Don't lean to much according to your speed Your are leaning too much and putting half of your weight on hand Hands should be used only for friction & maintaining Balance

[@beingarealballa]

Thanks bro, I will try it

[@codyhinkley4170]

You technically didn’t do a Coleman slide since you didn’t slide back around and keep rolling, good start tho

[@Brutuszilla]

FEZ!!!!!!

[@nero4119]

頑張れ！

[@samcolonius2566]

And try to initiate the slide before you put a hand down, and that's not a "coleman" quite yet

[@samcolonius2566]

@ASGARD SKATE CREW 😂 what, Coleman is when you grab the rail and rotate the board into a slide with your heelside hand on the ground

[@samcolonius2566]

@ASGARD SKATE CREW lmao I'd say there's more to it than "sitting to the side"

[@samcolonius2566]

@ASGARD SKATE CREW 😂my b

[@timl7385]

Yeah slide in wet way better

[@KTGgraff]

Stop skating in good clothes and shoes 😂

[@capten272]

This isnt a Coleman, thé hard part is to get the board back to initial position i learned this in 1 day without knowing any other slide

[@swellgibson5466]

nah, you didnt.

[@autologic1312]

@@swellgibson5466 usually you learn other slides before coleman, so it would make sense for someone to learn coleman quickly after learning a pushup slide or a toeside slide

[@jodf1307]

wear a helmet!!!!!!!!

[@beingarealballa]

got it man

[@jodf1307]

@@beingarealballa good it is really dangerous if you dont

[@macdog1]

20km/h is slow as hell bro

[@yovo7499]

But I learned Coleman in 4 days...

[@averyc5827]

[GD] yovo wow... want a gold star?

[@jkeraganas8919]

u should add up also carving, foot break and riding the board...
