RipTide How To: Speed Check (Stand-Up Slide)

Hey folks. The aim of this video is to help people go from not being able to throw a speed check at all to being able to hold them out and stick 'em. I recommend watching the standup 180 video and learning those first, but that's just personal preference. On another note, keep an eye out for a project by RipTide Sports and Enraged Panda Board Co that will be a home for all of these trick tips and more, as well as some awesome product reviews.

I swear if our education system offered classes with teachers half as good as u we would have already terraformed mars by now.

[@emanbossmantgeman1390]

Hahaha same broo how long did yours take to heal?

[@weeeeee831]

emanbossmantgeman about 3 months. They made me wear some harness thing that forced me to walk like I had a stick up my ass lol

[@79havanna]

+Josh Strutt mine healed in 2 weeks lol

[@johnfresh44]

+zutautiz1 You guys are lucky lol, mine broke in 2 places so I needed surgery

[@thepanman8]

That was intense at 6:10mark

[@MaalysWorld125]

Goofy bois!!!

[@wess6838]

oolek who rides skateboard goofy and snowboard regular?

[@AnasCavaliers]

me!!

[@heroryan7859]

I ride goofy too, I think more people are right footed when setting there foot on the board, so goofy should become regular and regular should become goofy 🙃

[@eyedflea904]

7 years and I’m learning from this thanks man

[@lumberjackthirsttrap3676]

It’s hard to find decent instructionals I wish he would make more. He probably off teaching chemistry or physics at some university.

[@yogijeffrey]

After watchin this video I went outside and did my first stanf up slides. Thank you. Bless

[@sebastiankohleroberg2980]

Jesus man thanks, this was really informative. I'll try this tomorrow.

[@andrewskigordon4941]

Dude, you broke it down to wear I could understand how to slide, Thanks man

[@thebeginner941]

I've watched several videos on sliding/speed checking and this is far and away the most detailed and informative one I've seen. Really wish there were hills around here.

[@scottvanthoff2839]

I watched it in a mirror made sense as a regular footer. Thanks great video!

[@DEVILDoG-0311]

best video yet that I have found for beginner boarders. Thanks

[@liammcguigan1783]

Dude, awesome video. Really clear, well-shot and informative. If I'd watched this a little sooner I may not have destroyed my right knee on a hill near my house.

[@Liki-Nauda]

The best stand up slide tutorial video I have ever seen, clear and detailed. Will definitely help me improve my slides. Congrats man!

[@Cyromantik]

[@doggiking]

[@jed4439]

You're a good teacher of all the videos I've seen this is the most thorough. I feel confident I will be able to slide with this advice! Thank you man! Hope you have a good day and skate well🤙🏼

[@BigWarningSign]

No ones on the streets because of the covid thing so I figured it was time to learn to slide.

[@jak3est]

Same here. Howd you make out? I got an eboard and im addicted to speed so i got a freeride board and tried it for 10 min and have no clue how to attempt to speedcheck and slide. I can ride my streets hill wot on my meepo 29mph or carve not usinging breaks. I get on the longboard and am scared to go over run off speed lol i think its mind over matter with the eboard i was scared to go over 15 by day 5 i was bombing steepest hills in town. Maybe ill keep trying.. i want the more exorcise while skating the neighborhood

[@BigWarningSign]

@@jak3est I’m in bc, and we’re not locked down, and nice, sounds awesome. Also are the motors in the wheels bc if they are how will you replace them when they wear out? Just wondering

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Wow , Really love how you broke this down and even able to instill confidence in others. Thanks.

[@jaeronmoreno3224]

This is a great video man! Thanks for all the details, i can't wait to learn how to stand up! I've been looking for a good video for a while, thanks!

[@MicahWedemeyer]

Great videos, dude. I've watched several, and you're one of my favorite longboard teachers. Makes me excited to get out on the asphalt and try out your tips.

[@SkyelarHead]

[@HowToMakeCostumeProps]

Thanks! when pros tell you how to do this in videos, all they tell you is to kick out. You had a really in depth video. This really helped.

[@JEGarden]

This video absolutely helped me figure out how to get a good slide going! It was my first time trying them out and even tho I ate it pretty hard today I feel A LOT more confident about pulling off slides. Keep up the good work guys!

[@kirkalvarez09]

I'm 29 and new to longboarding, recently found this sport as a new passion. This is the most educational video I found online. Thank you and please keep it up!

[@elbuhdai605]

This is the most detailed and helpful tutorial for sliding! Hopefully I'll be able to nail this in the coming weeks thanks to your tips so I no longer have to ride my speed out and pass my destination if it's at the bottom of a hill

[@kevincox1702]

I've been struggling with this speed check as a new rider and your is one of the most thorough videos I've seen thanks man!

[@ThenextJohnnyCrack]

[@trixster198]

You guys make the best tutorials that I have ever seen in my life. Thank you soooooo much. You guys have helped my stop flatspotting my wheels and extend my slides. Once again, thank you!

[@johan185wrestler7]

Thank you for the great advice-easy to understand and very educational.

[@GoProshosoccer]

Seriously, this is the best trick tip video i've yet to see also. He seems intelligent and breaks it down formulaically. Really lays down what to do, and why. sick stuff!

[@cantskate5535]

Best video that explains so much, but also goes into clear detail without confusion. 🙏 Barely starting and I can see all my mistakes of which big ones are, set up, foot position and body position.

[@sparkey09ful]

This is the best explained video I have seen yet! The detailed and methodical explanation of what you’ve demonstrated is excellent!!! I give you 5 stars! This is going to really help me! Thank you!

[@renegadejohnson1255]

Excellent technical instructional video that stayed articulate all the way through. Great minds think alike!

[@joshwaller8176]

thank you so much. so detailed and the best how to ever, i got them in only a couple of tries then coming back and re watching i can get a solid 5-8 meters in only a day! :) good job dude

[@KaseyDoesThings]

I got a lot more from this video than I expected.. killer job man. Very well thought out and presented.

[@Lainabell1496]

Definetly the most helpful video I have seen about how to do this slide

[@ohmpoingpoing]

awesome, this is the kind of step by step and deconstruction of a speed check I needed. Cheers bro!

[@thomasbode6758]

Best tutorial I have ever watched. Greetings from Germay, Tom

[@tinbapakk]

Your trick tips are the best of the interweb. Thanks.

[@JGBishop24]

Superb tutorial, it's nice seeing someone explaining these stuff in detail. Thanks a lot!.

[@kaiolsen1413]

The most helpful sliding vid on KZbin love it

[@Pastafield]

Really good explanation man! It's good to see someone take time to fully explain the technicalities

[@The_PlushRush]

Wow this is an awesome breakdown. I've watching plenty of sliding videos without any explanation and this breakdown is perfect. I've been trying to break into a slide like this and your video points out a lot of what I'm doing wrong.

[@demiccabako2040]

DUDE you are like the ultimate guru. bravo.

[@WolfPack22]

i know how to do standies but this is the best tutorial ive ever seen... its hard to explain how to do it because after awhile you kinda do it naturally but this was spot on. great job bro

[@cgiverin]

I think this is the best stand up slide tutorial on youtube. Good job.

[@laurendigiovanni4385]

Great video man!! this helped me out soo much not only with my slide but the selection of my board type as well.

[@nigelhutt9921]

A really informative video, many thanks for such a clear explanation on the various stages.

[@5outherncal1]

This is the best educational stand-up slide video I have seen thus far...good job fellas

[@MrRicounet]

Wonderful tutorial. Thanks a lot for all the thought you put into it.

[@hardyharhar801]

Most tutorials dont cover decompression and compression. This helps tremendously. Thx!

[@trw45q]

I think this is one of the best videos I've found on the subject. It takes time(also some gear changes, wheels specially) but my form is getting quite good and I'm watching it again for more fine tunning. Too bad the most recent video is 3 years old, I'd really like one for heelside checks.

[@ohno421]

You're a great teacher. I look forward to more of your videos.

[@sakinano99]

wow this guy really knows his shit. i love the way you talk about compression and decompression, thanks for the tips

[@cameroncurtis3165]

How come you've explained this better then most of the pros I've been trying to figure this out from?

[@xXTHELEECHXx]

EXCELLENT video man!! I like the attention to detail on everything you explained. Helped me out a lot. Thanks!!!

[@lexcardentey7612]

Great video and great explanation, you are not only a good skateboarder but also very articulate when teaching.

[@ChistianWalldorff]

This is a long video, but it's as long as it needs to be. Too often I see people making 3 minute videos on how to slide..they don't help. This guy actually goes over everything! Nice video man!

[@wingsauce888]

Fantastic video! That flatspot-avoidance tip of angling your front foot was genius and incredibly helpful.

[@dewyorkciti532]

This has to be one of the best self explain skurfing videos I've seen.

[@creativecomputerlab9965]

Thanks! You're a natural teacher.

[@TheOrangegroove]

Another amazing trick tip. Keep em comin'

[@jackpooperstein9138]

This is by far the best tutorial i've seen. Great explanantions

[@FrogRider]

I appreciate all the details, this video has been quite helpful! Thank you so much man.

[@PatriceNantel]

This is by FAR the best explained video for that move! Yes it takes 17 minutes but it was needed to do a proper kob. Thank you so much for your help... You should really think going into teaching...you're a natural for this job. Kudos once again!

[@markwilliamson7787]

2023, found no better toturial on this specific topic. I powerslided on skateboards a thousand times, doing it on a longboard, just isn't that easy. TY

[@younghex9577]

This helped so much. Just like everyone in the comments said very informative. Thank you

[@claudiomarcelino1413]

Thank you for the effort it makes me more confident to start learning this skill.

Thank you for this trick tip Ben. Your in-depth and detailed explanation defiantly helped me an insane amount. (Especially the "Compression/Decompression" talk) DoomDucks videos and tutorials rock, keep it up!

Awesome tutorial, huge help thank you. Glad you mentioned not to slide at 90° or it will cause flat spots, as you mentioned the foot placement is key

[@Strangy87]
