because when you use your power to slide your board it feels very manly yet subtle. <3

For me it's the feel and the sound. Especially the barking sound on smooth concrete! Love it!

backside powerslides or frontside powerslides?

DeerTay · « **Reply #9 on:** April 08, 2011, 02:58:54 PM »

Backside is way cooler, but I can't do them for shit.

backside is way steezier but you'll eat shit way harder.

Powerslides have saved my ass on many a drunk night hillbombing. I'll take flatspots over getting hit by a car anyday. +1powerslides.

any of you guys mess around with the flat land noseblunt slide? i've seen a couple dudes do those at mach speed and it's impressive....

friendly dave · « **Reply #13 on:** April 10, 2011, 01:52:10 AM »

Yes. Was just about to post about that. I love giving a little pop and getting part of the slide on just the nose, no wheels at all. Feels pretty nice.

anyone have tips for doing the backside ones ? I can do them but its hard to keep your speed while doing them.... i always seem to screech to a halt. i have been doing them for years. when i first started trying them while trying to maintain speed i would just do little ones, and progressively have gotten fruther and further... but my friend justin can just do them like 2 meters and have his full speed. i think im just not putting my ass into it enough.

This probably actually belongs in the appreciation section, but whatever. I love going down a hill and surfing out some powerslides, its fun to do a few back to regular, slide around to fakie, do some switch and halfcab powerslides, maybe a few tailslide/blunt ones (they feel more like tailslides to me) and just cruising around making my way down the hill pretending I'm Tommy Guerero in an old powell video.
I definitely think the difference between sober hill bombing and drunken hill bombing is the ability to powerslide though, I just don't have the damn grace then. Its go time, and if I eat shit when I'm drunk, I'll figure it out tomorrow when I've got bruised and swollen scrapes that stick to the sheets overnight.

powersliding across the flat of a pyramid. if no one else was at the park i would do these all day.

gnarnel · « **Reply #19 on:** April 11, 2011, 10:02:23 PM »

with the right pair of wheels is like the best feeling just forcing your board side ways and holding it kinda like the same rush as rapping some one u just cant beat it hahahaah

haha yeah this one is fun to do.
I wish I was better at them backside. It just takes time I guess.

I just got new wheels that are bigger so I'll be doing them a lot.
