[@Crash_Knight]

This is a great way to show people how to slide. A lot of videos just show people who know how to slide just doing it, and explaining how they did it. I think its really good that you showed some people actually learning how to slide for the first time, then addressed exactly what went wrong. I'm sure a lot of people have similar issues trying to learn sliding, but I never see any videos showing those specific issues in action. So this is giving them a great visual representation of what a lot of people are struggling with, and a more direct explanation. On top of that, Alex is mentioning a lot of things other videos aren't mentioning. Also, Stickerbrush Symphony

[@kOlbThreeTimesOne]

i agree it was very very useful and made the entire video incredibly viable

[@bobate6030]

So true! I'm back to re-watch this, If only I had an instructor to teach me.

[@unstableturtleduck]

I've been trying to learn for weeks and I actually understand what I'm supposed to be doing with this video, the other ones are a lot more confusing

Alex is honestly such a great teacher. He's encouraging and gives specific advice. This one video has been more helpful than a dozen others on sliding because it really simplified it down to what you need to do and pay attention to as a beginner. Thank you.

[@madmaxpowers9600]

I’ve been sliding for years and he still taught me a thing or two about my form. I’ve been doing things sloppy and I’m excited to get out there w the new mentality he gave me about leaning forward and keeping your back knee tucked down during heel sides. Also, pointing the back foot forward during toe sides looks very beneficial. Me and the boys taught ourselves but this would’ve helped us growing up.

[@endergirl8820]

I love that it doesn't have people that already know but people who are learning.

[@johnmillstead8396]

Alex, you are an amazing teacher. I am 54 and learning to longboard. I used your 'pre-carve' cue and it really helped me to learn to slide -- still learning!! Thanks!

[@atticatony3911]

I'm 35 and sometimes question if I should be trying to learn to slide. I've road rashed few times already but am totally hooked. Love hearing I'm not the only full on adult still trying this stuff. Inspiring. Thanks

[@italiano5150]

More power to you guys!!! I am nearly 49 and fell in love with snowboarding last season and it is now my favorite sport. I also started longboarding this summer. It is never too late honestly!!!

[@Laranjamarela]

41 years old here. Started again last year. I just try to identify my limits and ride within them. I push them very carefully. I just faceplanted once so far when I ignored my own advice 😅

[@MrPink-]

40 here and sliding, treat your body right and age really is just a number...

[@Lucas-ck1po]

Yooooo Landy, thank you!!! I just came back from a park hill and i did it! its been two years without knowing how to slide and today i just went full out, i lost the fear for the speed because now i can slide the shit out of my board, i got confident and went full down that hill, slid full body out like a push-up, i slid like 10 full metres! Thank you so much whoever this guy is, you are an amazing teacher and thank you Landy. I just need to practice stand ups more because i still cant do them properly but my boy, i can slide gloves down like i never did before

No disrespect to longboarders or anything. As a street skater, its pretty funny seeing a longboarder with a crazy man's "tinfoil hat" style helmet. Gave me a chuckle. You guys are definitely gnarly in your own way. I've seen some of those crazy downhill videos. Respect.

[@eskatesafetee9262]

This hands down the best sliding video on youtube

[@venomclown1134]

This dude is always so friendly and is such a good teacher! He just loves what he does and is willing to teach others how to do what he loves, and it's dope It's so awesome when the greats teach others how to also be great

Love the dissection of the thumbnail, now I know what's what. Never knew what the title was till now

[@Receipt]

Dude is a great instructor. Point out a mistake while noting the positive (student's commitment) and offer a correction. Good stuff. This is a good technique for teaching people that can apply anywhere.

[@painfreestrongman]

I don’t comment on things usually, but all last summer I tried learning to slide and just kept getting owies. I watched all kinds of videos, and I typically catch on to things really easy and fast and I just could not grasp it. I watched this one and literally went out and was able to do both heel-side and toe-side hand slides. I think it really helped watching people that didn’t really know how to slide actually learn and you coaching them. Tons of details I’ve never heard before. You should do more instructional videos. Thank you.

[@themanatiepileptico7778]

This format is the ultimate way of teaching via yt, watching real people learn and real mistakes

[@leboblack]

Got a new longboard after skateboarding for a couple of months. Bombed my first hill and I couldn’t slide to stop , so I fell scraping my right knee creating a deep wound . So this video is very helpful, I’m out for a month but I’ll be back , love this

[@tangohotellima1895]

I hate LY...these videos have made me go out and purchase not one but two LYs already!!! 🙈 But big thanks to Mr Hannigan (and the r video team doing this series) - imho, these instructions are very good!

OMG! I CANT WAIT FOR THIS PREMIERE! Landyachtz has been all that i've been watching these days... i've got 5 second hand boards from them since they've been out of stock... Can't wait to get there dance boards soon. Learning slides has been fun but having them teach is going to be a trip! :3

[@tanukistrider6541]

Of all the slide videos I've watched, I like this one because you have relative beginners doing it with you, which gives an idea of the mistakes you make, and what it might look like as you learn.

[@i.mauricionavarromtz6495]

You are the best Hannigan!! I’m on my 34 years old and I am doing more now than when I was 15. Thanks man and Landyachtz to give us this. So much fun with my Dinghy and my longboard. Best brand ever.

I just bought a Landyachtz and i'm so stoked! I am excited to finally have a longboard after wanting one for 9 years, I made the commitment and now I'm ready for the journey ahead.

[@tonyboughman8050]

This is BY FAR the best tutorial video online! A couple of years ago I tried longboarding, but never really got it. This video gives the basics that I never knew before. Watching this inspires me to want to give it another try (I'm an old guy). I still have those slide gloves somewhere......

[@secoif]

Fat 37 year old beginner skater here. ✨Wow. This video just enabled me to slide for the first time ever. ✨Literally been watching videos and trying for weeks and haven't managed to actually slide even once. Never even managed to slide a little, nor get a puck on the ground while moving. It always just seemed impossibly dangerous and scary, like I wasn't ready yet. Immediately after watching this though I was able to make clear and safe progress towards sliding, and after some attempts I was eventually able to slide my board for the first time! Amazing. Thank you so much. I will also mention that it started raining lightly while I was doing this and that might have made it easier to get that crucial first slide. Seeing the pushup slide is possible *at low speed* was the enabler, that allowed me to find where the board loses traction without feeling like I needed to risk major injury doing so. Go slow and trust the pucks, worked for me. Also really, really helped seeing John trying and failing, then eventually getting it! Inspiring. Gave me the confidence that failure didn't mean I was missing some mystery intermediate skill, and if I keep trying I'll eventually get it, and I did. Seeing the ways he genuinely did it wrong then showing how to fix it was also so, so helpful. There's a subtle but important difference between seeing beginners making genuine, real mistakes and experts intentionally making "fake" mistakes. Also appreciated the quick note on the foot position, this helped me notice my board has indentations and I feel far more in-control and stable once my feet are placed correctly. Thanks again for all this.❤

[@70109004]

Alex Hannigan is a very good teacher, I will watch this video again and again until my slides have perfected, he gives very detailed information on key points, not just the way of doing also where the mistakes are coming, very much encouraging, helps overcome the fear thank you 😁👍

How's that possible you can teach me in one video, clear some things up, explain some common mistakes. You're the true hero. Thanks!

[@jakethewolfproductions8733]

This was a great video. Even though I’ve been longboarding for 10+ years it’s nice to go back and re-learn the fundamentals. Can’t wait for the weather to get warmer to start practicing. (Also I loved Johns attitude through the video even when he struggled he took it in stride and laughed through it. Love it!)

[@Awezug]

Great video, thank you! Edited: Also, props to John for not doing slides from the first try so we have that greatest explanation of what to try and how to fix issues with sliding.

[@Lucas-ck1po]

Landy, this video is goooold! Im nearly giving up longboarding because i cant slide for nothing in this world but im going out today to experiment a little.

[@Pandechis]

Son, I’ve watched every slide video on the internet. I’ve probably invested 2% of my life to watching slide vids on the internet. I think this slide vid tops it. Basically son, thank you for this great slide vid. Personally I prefer skating an ATV or a reg skateboard because I’m a chump. But I promise you that I will treasure these skills and talents that you have handed over to me. Because I’m not a goofy dude, hopefully I don’t forget which foot is left and which foot is right though. Thanks son.

[@samaichaidez8241]

So I just bought me the DINGHY COFFIN COCKTAIL board. I always wanted to learn how to do powerslides, years of riding cruiser boards and just carving and cruising but never really doing the power slides. This video helped me do my first ever control power slides. After a couple of falls. I finally understood and now I can’t stop doing them. The board is great for tricks, which I’m also learning to do. Today was day one with the board and I couldn’t be happier.

For anybody wondering why they can’t seem to get it right, there’s a good chance that your wheels are too sticky for sliding at low speeds. For about a week I have been confused as hell, and I started attempting these slides at higher speeds and began making progress. The puck slides are not that scary at high speeds

[@ligma9853]

Are fatty hawgs too sticky for slow speeds ?

The longer and thicker your board is the more effort will have to be taken to initiate the slide,you'll get it in due time just keep practicing to get the form down

[@darylokeke1887]

@@chaoticdestruction87 Hey, I am about to purchase a Landyachtz drop hammer 36, do you think it will be decent for sliding? Also, do you know if all wheels work for sliding?

[@chaoticdestruction87]

@@darylokeke1887 That board should work,I ride an arbiter that's around the same size in length I slide just fine. Wheels are dependent on durometer the higher it is the easier the slide but it all depends on your skating preferences,you can have fat wheels but they are more grippy when breaking out those slides,it's all on preference and what you like.

The way you teach and describe motions and terms is also very helpful. The good camera quality and view of the long boarders is great as well.
