For step 5, you can also gently push out with your front leg to help the board hookup, don't know why I didn't mention this. Hope y'all enjoyed the video, apologies for the audio being all over the place.

I think the light really came on this time for me when you were talking about getting in the box and practice carving and dropping either hand... For all the times you had said it, I finally heard it! Thank you. 61 yo guy here trying to get all this information.

[@justyouraveragekid13]

61? Inspiring

[@downhill254skate]

Good to hear man! It really does help, with both warming up and getting comfortable in the box position. Really does! Good luck with the learning :)

[@flavioastudillo1231]

great content bro!

[@ElAintTired28]

Hey bro, just new to your channel. I already have my set up with me and currently waiting for my full face helmet.I just want to let you know that these tutorials will be very helpful for me as a beginner.

[@thechris2039]

Going to be practicing these very soon this definitely helps thank you 💯👍

[@TimeDistortKilo]

The detail of your description is awesome! Can't wait for the toeside video! Also I couldn't help but hope for a video someday going over the differences in weight distribution, body position, hand placement etc between pendies, 180s and predrifts. My body is always giving me feedback when I go practice slides but sometimes I feel like a dunce that just isn't getting the message. Your videos really help Abuga!

[@downhill254skate]

Toeside video coming soon! Each tutorial touches on weight distribution and body positioning!, Might be fun to compare them but maybe not worthwhile with each video talking about it already? We'll see tho! Don't worry a bout the feedback, make sure you get videos of yourself trying. Skmetiems we can't tell without looking Don't worry about

[@TimeDistortKilo]

@@downhill254skate good points all around!

[@keyslimecove]

Been needing this vid for a bit, tysm

[@chrhadden]

thats pretty cool. so this faster than using an average skateboard like traditional skaters? i love learning things that you cant do slow first lol you have to just go for some things and be confident hopefully at the worst i will do it and be sloppy and not wipe out going 20 +

Hey dude- live in the UK and am just learning to slide. With Xmas coming up I wanted a new deck for freeride/downhill. Boards I'd looked at were aob ranger, aob pathfinder and sp8boards swallow. Any ideas??

[@downhill254skate]

Aob Ranger is an awesome options to go with :)

[@-zoave-]

I would say the Original Arbiter KT, awesome deck for a very good price.

[@chrhadden]

wear out the one you have first

[@bartek...]

I have hard times learning heelside. I need to grab my board to not fall off. It's probably a flexibility issue, need to stretch a bit more.
