Finally someone actually put up a good toe check video. Nice job.

[@youpoopedyourtube6075]

Its a standup, like a longggg slide not for checks. They made the heelside and toeside for checks.

[@grahmgessner8249]

Take a drink every time you hear "send it"

[@KonnorC]

Holy shit I literally came to comment exactly this

[@danielwillingmyre8620]

Going back and watching this video after just doing this slide, all his words make sense cause that fear isn't there. Soaking it up is soo important, its not like a heel check where your putting all that you have onto your road side foot, this slide is all in the lean and placement of the back toes. Now I just gotta master at higher speeds.

[@RockStarLoneWolf]

Can you guys do a video explaining how to ride in a pack for DH safely. A video explaining all the etiquette, general rules, and how to avoid sketchy situations in detail would be super helpful :)

[@Soniphex]

This is the one thing I've refused to learn for the longest time out of fear of high-siding. When Jimmy says leaning all the way forward is better than eating major shit it puts it in a new perspective for me. Watchout standies here I come.

[@muirskate]

You mean leaning back? Leaning forward could cause you to highside... If you lean back, against the hill, you can fall back against the hill and catch yourself with your pucks if you low-side. Low-siding is always better than high-siding. YOU GOT THIS!!!

[@barnshnook]

did you die?

[@Soniphex]

@@barnshnook No, I've been able to do standies for years now, without dying so far. :)

What knee pads ? ^^ great Video

[@Samos12]

Where is this? Obviously somewhere in California, but what an awesome road to learn on! Thanks, :-)

[@bart7385]

I'm having trouble keeping my front foot flat, even at a 45 degree angle. Has Jimmy ever skated with a toe stop?

[@XLoLXMabe]

and now the 180. I feel like checking is way easier than actually turning around.

[@AShowOf2Bros]

I got my 180s before checks. You're probably talking about just like putting around and kicking it out to around 90 but you don't hold it out. Not really a check but I see what you mean

[@TheYawzie]

+McPuky i can't do either T-T Been practicing standing heelsides for like a month now & i still can't get them. i think I might try these instead the look easier.

[@RvB_Fan_since_8]

Yawzie Well a good tip for 180s is just trust your board and spin your shoulders.

[@lachiedixon410]

Yawzie there’s no way there easier that’s just dumb

[@mackmcpherson6995]

no way dude.

[@gohlongboardforchrist2048]

They are a fun slide. I hit 70ft so far. I want that triple digit

[@jakebirkmaier5703]

+Andrew Connell that's because he's teaching not showing off

[@yungmilkcarton]

You might as well break the record

[@bryanbaek7807]

hey fellas, i m thinking about buying a similar model- longboard he is riding, so can you guys guess the size of his shoes and his height?

[@brandenabril7219]

what knee pads do you use?

[@matthewsia3735]

so how do you actually keep your front foot flat? is it just a matter of skating looser trucks?

[@muirskate]

It helps if you have your front foot around a 45° angle across your board. This will allow you to open up your shoulders to the road while your hips and legs rotate the opposite way into the slide.

[@primotastic]

I know this videos a bit old but any tips for how to kick my back foot out without it slipping or coming off the board?

[@GLTHM_]

PriimiTo Good griptape! And weighting your board right. It just takes practise👍

[@dolfiguard2000]

I've got the cult creator 78a 72mm wheels and the caliber 2 forty-four 10" trucks but I can't get long slides. Also I keep doing short 180 slides. Should loosing up my trucks help a little? Should I go faster? I have no idea! please tell me!

[@owendoyle8815]

Go faster and rotate your shoulders slowly, letting them guide you around a slower rotation. It's the same motion as a quick 180 but drawn out. And as always, speed makes everything easier

[@alanvashovsky8047]

How to Ollie please

[@anneobiano7384]

Is this board a new version of the Arrow? The arrow that i used to know was the blue one. How come this version is not in the market? Can anyone reply please? Thanks a lot. :)

[@comicog3]

Anne Obiano it's probably an older model.

[@josephjack8589]

Why do I keep doing 180s? I'm doing the slide and when I push the board out it immediately goes into a 180 and I often get hide sided because of this. Does anyone know why that's happening?

[@muirskate]

Make sure you're using your shoulders and eyes to guide you through your slide. Look where you want to go and open your shoulders up to the road like you're trying to give your buddy in front of you a hug. This will keep your back foot from going past 90° and doing a 180°

[@josephjack8589]

+MuirSkate Longboard Shop thank you. This helped a lot.

[@dawsonunger9523]

how do you get better at riding switch? I'm really bad at it.

[@FacundoArrighetti]

+dawson unger .....easy, you have to ride switch and get better naturally.

[@fuge511]

dawson unger it’s like learning to ride all over again haha. Takes patience and of course start using the other side of your brain

[@Acidskin22]

I have a 41inch drop through primecut board with new butter ball wheels and reds bearings Any tips for easy and quick slides?

[@somememer356]

Lookup how to do a Coleman, easiest slide (imo)

[@alip82]

+Garrett Williams it's easiest because you feel safer down low to the ground

[@redditmanllegnisthebirdofh9887]

+Qui rk nah push up slides are the easiest by far

[@nathanbader1361]

what spot is this

[@Simoncattan]

your weight should be about 75% front foot and only 25% in the back foot, if you do it 5050 youre gonna end up doing a backside 180, not a toeside check.

[@AShowOf2Bros]

Not necessarily. If you monkey toe then you'll want to do that but I don't monkey toe and if I don't do 50/50 my foot slips off. And I can toe check and 180 just fine

[@user-kx3kh7bv2l]

Agree, I believe we need to put as much weight as possible to your front foot. Back one is only for balance. It should be “the back follows the front” not “front follow the back” to me.

[@LuZu_]

@@user-kx3kh7bv2lthis can’t be true. i’ve been practicing for a week now. i find if i put too much weight on my front, the board pivots more and wants to spin. it also seems to result in me struggling to stay over the board and i fall to the side.

[@RedSkyLB]

[@nathanjoel4988]

Jimmy ..can I take your javelin? To practice toe side stand up slide.....joking but I have some serious question tho.....1-do i need to be obligatory on a hill? 2-can I make it with a Santa Cruz? 3-it depends on wheels?

[@nathanjoel4988]

Plis help me

[@TheNewKimito500454]

It's easier when you have momentum yes, you don't want to grip up mid-slide. So pick a hill you're comfortable with. You can do it on a 2x4 if you practiced long enough. Yes, good sliding wheels will definitely help, but ultimately it comes down to practice and commitment.

[@MattyBricks]

How to Ollie

[@Tommyneator]

I dont know how this working 😄

[@tomredhead1725]

Would this be possible on 80as or a little too soft?

[@drewfouquet9044]

on there heelslide and this video they forgot to tell us to remember to lean back while doing the slide to keep from throwing yourself forward

[@evanzau3905]

how to turn tightly on a longboard?

[@amangels78]

LSW Games lean over the board and flex your ankles at the same time. Less restrictive bushings and a higher degree baseplate on your trucks will help too, same with a shorter wheelbase

[@DaddyRobotX15]

@@amangels78 what did you mean by "flex your ankles" 5 years ago?

[@brittneyblankenship4400]

is this in Laguna?

[@tevai2107]

Brittney Blankenship do you know if this was in laguna or not? I'm going there soon so if this spot is this is funking great

[@elholychristo889]

i can heel slide, skate down GMR, but CANNOT toe slide stand up to save my life :, (

[@bradmohre5599]

What is the minimum speed to stand up slide? I can power slide but idk how fast i need to go to stand up slide.

[@amangels78]

Brad Mohre it depends on your wheels, if you’re rocking some grippy race wheels you’ll need to be going really fast but if you have slippery wheels then you don’t need to be goin fast. Just go as fast as you’re comfortable with and wear your pads

[@DaddyRobotX15]

TAKEAWAY: to do steezy toeside standup slides on the skateboard your mom got you on Amazon = send it.

[@MattDiGi]

I physically can not keep my front foot flat

[@fl3xbhizzle390]

I have this problem too can anybody help. If I do keep it flat it rather stays gripped and dose not loose traction. Or I high side

[@roxx0rz]

I'm running into the same issue, you can try a toe stop or super slidey wheels to start out on.

[@MattDiGi]

+Proioxis I fixed mine with practice just lean forward before initiation and go faster and focus on the foot

[@roxx0rz]

Matthew DiGiovanna Lean forward as in, leaning more over the board while in the slide?

[@MattDiGi]

+Proioxis like lean over your front foot, more weight over it than ur back foot

[@youpoopedyourtube6075]

He's so high lol

[@RayRay2914]

_ Justinlbdr _ he does not even sound high. Some people just get that way when they are riding and walking up hill as it clearly shows in he video

[@youpoopedyourtube6075]

Jeff Hewton i guess, its just that I know when I used to smoke I would get paranoid and exaggerate when skating down.
