SKATEBOARDING!
P.S.
I am going to take photos of my setup when I choose..
I am already really getting into the danish skateboard community.
I have been asked if I wanna be a moderator on denmarks biggest skate site: http://tacky.dk/
And I might also write an article or two for them..
This video guide on ollie is fantastic. It has slow motion, top down view so you can see how it's supposed to look like when you're on the board, and German instructions:
I wanna be able to slide, but my board is long, flexible, and the wheels are big and soft. I only really need to do speed check slides, but I don't think my board right now is conducive to learning them. Neither is the next board I want!
I might have to get a slide board for my next board instead of a Vanguard, or get smaller wheels on the Vanguard and practice some speed check slides with it.
i'm having the same problem! i've been learning to slide on a regular shortboard which has been more manageable than my longboard.
i'm in the process of making slide gloves right now, i've shredded up the gloves i've been using. i just glued some corian samples to a garden glove...hopefully they will turn out all right.
