Great tutorial 👏. Learning powerslide was a game changer for me. Knowing I could stop pretty reliably whenever I wanted gave me the confidence to get out and about more freely and to explore more and longer routes. Need to improve my weak side though. And then magic slides!

Yes, a solid stop is a must. My weak side defo needs work but balance is worth the effort. Thanks! 🙏

Thank you! Very helpful!

Thanks for posting. This video is a great learning tool.

Thank you for sharing Rich. I'll work with this tutorial hopefully today.🤞👍

fantastic explanation,s

One of the best power slide tutorials I’ve seen. Would love to see something similar about magic slide which I currently struggle with.

I’m glad you learned from this. I probably use the first method more than the second and try to keep the transition as quick and as smooth as possible since this is where mistakes are likely to happen.

don't forget to turn your wheels if you've been doing this all day :)

Somehow i have really difficulty to make a inside turning step to get into the powerslide. I find it so much easier to make an outside turn. I also mainky transition from forward to backwards that way. What i prefer on the spin method is that you get much smoother into the break. You dont put you foot on the ground and somehow need to have the right angle and pressure instantly the moment you hit the ground, you just change the angle in the moment of transition until you got the right angle.

@RichHayterSkater

I tend to use the spin method as a safety net for a higher speed power stop. It offers just enough slide to avoid an abrupt stop that might tip me over, but not so much that it won’t stop me quick enough. I find the step method very useful when space is tight. I don’t need to consider the available space around me, i simply step directly into the stop. If I step out far enough onto that edge, I know my wheels can do nothing else but slide! 👍

@@RichHayterSkater thanks for that comment. Let's see ill reconsider my thoughts maybe. About the slide. I can slide as much for both ways. I mean its just abput how sharp the angle between wheels and ground are. From the instant stop to a really long time long slide.

Hey! Which wheels are best to use? What is the stiffness?

@RichHayterSkater

2 жыл бұрын

Most of these are 86A, but I’ve used 84 - 88A and don’t really find much difference. Harder wheels should slide more easily.

I'll get there eventually ! Only just got my T-stop down. QUESTION: which is easier, jump-transition or slide ?

@RichHayterSkater

2 жыл бұрын

I find the little step transition to be easier as it can be learned at low speeds and on grass. Getting confident with that transition is key.

Do the skates touch the ground during power slides? And are they expected to if so?

@RichHayterSkater

Ай бұрын

It’s not the aim to have your boot touch the ground, just your wheels. In my experience-and I can get pretty low on a power slide-it’s not something I can ever recall happening.
