- Epic! And so indescribable.
Thanks so much to Bailey who reached out 2 days prior and he coached me in my first no rail Coleman slide. Two days later, we would meet up with his crew. What an amazing and generous crew. Thank you to everyone for advice and their amazing skills. Looking forward to many more sessions.

Awesome spot
nice
You will learn a ton from these guys, enjoy
really cool dude
I remember the first time i skated with pros. Blew my mind ... Fun as though
Thank you for the video very helpful. The first slide I got to learn was push up slide and it takes me 1 year to do it decently.
Awesome and congrats on a slide you feel comfy with. I prefer push up slide (for now) and is always part of my warm up runs. Takes a long time to build true instinct and I have a long way say to go. In an upcoming video, car pulled in front of me and I panicked-fell to my left hip; thankfully I had my motorcycle suit on no injury.
@cantskate5535 thank you still alot to learn and you are showing progress, I wish I can do toe side like the girl in the video.
If you look at your heelside slides, your rear wheels are gripping up a lot more than they should, which is causing your slides to turn a lot more instead of sliding. Your rear wheels are receiving too much grip from getting too much weight distributed to it. Additionally, when you apply way too little weight distribution down onto your front foot, your front foot actually falls/flops off of the deck, which did happen a few times, if you rewatch your form.
Your weight distribution and front foot placement are causing you to have these issues. They are easily solved together with one solution though. So what you must do is to keep that front foot planted fully at all times, which will force you to distribute your weight more to the front wheels - allowing your rear wheels to slide more freely. Your back foot, when on the board, can be tilted in whichever fashion you're comfy with - so as to help keep the front foot planted. The purpose of the back foot is to provide secondary balance (kinda like the kickstand of a parked motorcycle), but the majority of your bodyweight needs to go down into the front foot (which is synonymous to the 2 wheels of a parked motorcycle).
edit: Adrien has great form, obviously, so yeah, definitely try to imitate him. See how his front foot is always planted no matter what - either heelsides or toesides. But his back foot does tilt to allow for a more natural front foot plantedness.
edit (2): Oh, I see that later on in the vid, you do realize your issues. But yeah, imitate Adrien FTW.
Thank you so much for the exceptional comment and details-so helpful. You and Adrien think alike: that was his suggestion - plant the front foot (because it kept popping up). Combined with the other woman rider’s comment of back knee behind front leg/foot-i think that will definitely help. I don’t really have a sense of true balance yet in squat position so will be practicing all the small details from the crew. 🙏🙇🏻♂️
@@cantskate5535 Front foot should always be planted for everything you do - even pushing or footbraking - they're just planted in a straight manner in those 2 actions - but still planted.
Great stuff man, you're progressing well and it's the best thing ever to have experienced skaters mentoring you! Also, I didn't realise you guys have Gum trees, it looks a bit like Australia with the hills and trees, nice spot! How do you like the Milk Shakes wheels?
Thank you. I do like milk shake wheel, but don’t have enough experience to know better. Actually switching to the banana peels to see if I can get slide easier. First session with peels were really slippery - like a peel.
@@cantskate5535 Yeah cool, Milk Shakes will thane more and like you said Peels are more slidey! But peels are a big wheels and you will build up a lot of speed on hills, I find when you're learning it's better to ride a smaller wheel to control your speed. I'm learning slides myself and I've been skating the Purple 83a Skiffs, they're a small wheel but super easy to slide and the slides are predictable, you could also try Powell Peralta Snakes! Enjoy your skating man!
@Renclif cool and thanks. I have a set of the Snakes and will try them, too. Might bring a few other wheels to try since I’m not going for speed, but skill in truck carving, and balance.
@@cantskate5535 Sounds awesome, have fun!
