How To Parallel Slide

In this video, we'll learn how to start parallel sliding and show a few ways to apply it to your skating. There's no real shortcut to getting good at slides - it takes a lot of practice just like anything else, but this exercise should get you headed in the right direction. Leave any questions you have in the comments and I'll do my best to respond.

Nice video parallel slide. Thanks

[@dennialejo5250]

Do more tutorials pls, your vids are excellent

[@sivadsinnedvlogs1811]

Love the music choice reminds me of a Gran Turismo tutorial

[@Golem1988]

Daaaang... you are living the dream. Both Wizard setup and Endless. Maybe get yourself NN Frame also to compare all the 3 alltogether and set the huge point there. Would be damn great.

[@Rollerbalding]

I'm not really interested in NN frames. Wizards and Endless are all I need :)

[@joybiswas3533]

Good job bro👍👍

[@freethinker3083]

This was great! Will you come back to make videos again!?

[@PROFITBULLY]

Please do more tutorials! I just subscribed in hopes of more!

[@chrissione5677]

Thank you! 🤗✌🏼

[@ColinThia]

Really love your videos! Benefited from your Wizard videos! Would love if you could do more videos. What about Magic Slide? 😅

[@jaybraithwaite6839]

The music!!! The shorts!!!! The steeze!!! God bless America.

[@ericford4]

great !!

[@denevereset]

Hey, thanks a lot for these great tutorials. Im just learning rollerskating and i was searching for tutorials about this paralell slide. I watched quite a lot inclueding Bill Stoppard, Shop Task etc. but i must say yours is the first where i don't miss anything. So i decided i will watch all your content, as it came out to be the most understandable for me, and i realized you have very few videos. But i felt optimistic about new tutorials from you, when i saw that your last videos were uploaded quite recently. Perfect videos, they look very professional, and they came with perfect timing for me :) I am safely going at high speed, doing slaloms for slowing down, but i use T stop mostly and feel like i need to have a quick stop too. I wish you would also make a video about powersliding. Also going backwards is one of the main abilities that i lack, if you could just explain it in a comment how to master it, that would be great. Thanks for your answer in advance :) Regards, David

[@Rollerbalding]

Hey David, thanks for watching and I'm glad the videos are helping. There will be more videos in the future. In regards to going backwards, I think the biggest help is getting really comfortable looking over your shoulder. Keeping your weight over your toes and off of your heels is also important. Other than that, it just takes practice like anything else.

Thanks for the best tutorial on pararel slides! Could you break down how to do 2 continuous one-foot gazelle (360 deg) at 2:19?

[@ivanangelov589]

Give us all the skating tutorials possible!

[@tennislife3484]

GREAT VID Can you make an tutorial for MAGIC slide , this video really helped

[@Rollerbalding]

Thanks! Glad it helped. I don't do magic slides... that's one I still need to learn

[@victoralcorta]

Your video explanations are awesome! Please make a video explaining how to skate side ways (both feet pointing to outside, like a penguin :P)

[@leonardticsay8046]

Shared with my local skate club!

[@Rollerbalding]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[@leonardticsay8046]

Rollerbalding doing my best. You absolutely need two things: more subscribers and more content. Seriously. The skating is solid. Edits are great. Very good A E S T H E T I C. Love it!

[@Rollerbalding]

@@leonardticsay8046 Thank you! I appreciate that. I'm working on more content and hopefully subscribers will follow

[@edgar1013]

practicing slides has really chewed up my wheels in only two months! I don't mind going through rubber but wow they go fast!

[@mixalazer]

nice

[@SkatesChampions]

Good

[@markevenden2386]

good video, appreciate the time to produce this. Who is the skate though?

[@Rollerbalding]

What skates am I riding? These are Powerslide Imperials with Endless frames

[@painterpainting7056]

Wow..

[@namthipboonnil577]

ขอบคุณครับ

[@Rollerbalding]

ไม่เป็นไร หวังว่าคุณจะสนุกกับมัน. (Sorry if my thai is bad, I used a translator) :)

[@namthipboonnil577]

Rollerbalding I am practicing skating based on your video.( Sory if my English is bad.I used a translator)

[@jeffreylanters]

Incredibly helpful, what kind of wheels are recommend to do slides? I feel mine are just to rubbery to even start sliding. Thanks!

[@Rollerbalding]

I personally like 85a to 88a for slides.

[@balakumar9]

Please make a video on parallel turn

[@astrawwberri]

I didn’t even watch the tutorial and I realised that I could alr do it lol

[@JuIietaASMR]

😺😺😺

[@danielgodinez6467]

Does the Frame helps to Transfer some work yo the slide? For example, having an Endless/wizard or simple rockering helps to slide better?

[@chogs4761]

hey balding, do u think round shaped or bullet wheels are better for all those movements especially curving? :)

[@Rollerbalding]

I like rounded profile wheels in general, but that's just my preference. I use both profiles on different setups and wouldn't say one is better than others - It really just comes down to what feels best to you. 👍

[@AlanosaurusRex]

When you say front leg, which do you mean? The one that is forward in the scissor position or the one that leads the slide?

[@Rollerbalding]

Sorry for being unclear - yes, I mean the foot that leads the slide.

[@oise08]

What boots are you using WinZip h the Wizard frames?

[@Rollerbalding]

I use the Seba SX carbon boot with my wizard frames

[@derpyblades8085]

Do wheel hardness/softness matter?

[@GO_GO-YOGO-BLASTER]

Im here for the music😂😂😂

[@luxilioray]

What type of skates are you wearing?

[@louiealbert2062]

hello by chance does it work in rocket setup or flat

[@Rollerbalding]

I don't notice much of a difference between the two when sliding

[@cozielockz20]

Can you powerslide on all terrain or just smooth surfaces?

[@Rollerbalding]

You can powerslide on whatever your wheels can handle. Bigger wheels can handle rougher terrain

[@Girrrrrrrr]

What wheel hardness should I be looking for to slide with?

[@Rollerbalding]

I would recommend 86A or harder. I personally ride 88A and 90A wheels

[@Girrrrrrrr]

@@Rollerbalding thanks!

[@shanga888]

what kind of stiffness are the wheels suitable for this

[@Rollerbalding]

I find that harder wheels make it easier to slide further, but any good quality wheel will work. The wheels in this video are 85A Hydrogen wheels and 84A Street Invader wheels

[@mrpeace7708]

Does the hardness of the wheels matter? Mine are 82A

[@Rollerbalding]

It can. I skate 85a and above

[@mrpeace7708]

@@Rollerbalding okay. Thank u :)

[@ronnieoahu]

What durometer?

[@cheikhougueye7179]

Anyone has the reference for the rollers

[@bluewker]

which one is the "front leg"?

[@Rollerbalding]

In this case it's my left leg. The leg on the Outside of the turn

[@user-ij9cp3db1l]

4×90...?

[@cubul32]

Are you a pro skater?

[@Rollerbalding]

Nope. Just an enthusiast

[@thewirah1]

Good tutorial, but that background music makes it nearly unwatchable.
