POWERSLIDE - Slow Down On A Skateboard
And Why You Would Want To Learn It.
Hey guys! Andreas here. What's up?
I was out pushing the other day and as I went down a hill, managing my speed with powerslides, a few kids dropped their jaws.
I learned how to powerslide a long time ago and now I just take it for granted. And that got me thinking, a powerslide is such an essential skill to know.
So from there comes the idéa of this video.
For anyone who doesn´t have this "trick" up their sleeve, I hope I taught you something today. ❀

Thanks for the tips, tho I prefer riding with soft wheels (newbie) for cruising around. 👌🏽

Thanks for watching! Hey, just cruising is the best. I enjoy it more every day.
People powerslide on longboards all the time. Definitely not impossible to powerslide with them, although it is dependent on the shape of the longboard wheels and those will make it substantially harder. It's absolutely possible and longboarders do it all the time.

kzread.info/dash/bejne/i2Gqs8qfqMyefrQ.html Here's a proof you can get smooth slides out of aggressive race wheels. It's all about weight set to the front and turning hard.

Hand down and very slide for soft wheels that simple
this is prolly one of the better power slide tutorials talking about the frontside to backside turn in, then weight over front foot and hips perpendicular to the street

if you think about it most of your weight is always on the front foot. if it wasnt you would slip out. your head is usually over your front usually. i smart
Today I did my first attempts at powerslides. This tutorial will surely help me to get better at them :)

It's not impossible to power slide with soft wheels, but it is definitely much more difficult in my experience. Though it depends on how soft you call soft. I skate 85a - 95a wheels typically.
Yoy cant powerslide soft wheels? When we learned Ty Slides back in late '76 or early '77, all we had for wheels was 78A Road Riders. I went through aeveral sets of #4s, replacing each set when I'd worn them down to the size of RR 2s.
this is actually so helpful

Nice🙏
Super cool 😎
for anyone who wants to be able to ride on rough surfaces but be able to power slide get powell peralta dragons as they can ride on road like an 83a, slide like a 101a and ride on parks like a 99a

@whiteboygrayson which peralta dragons you recommend for that? There are a couple of different ones… thanks!
im pretty sure those bad ass brzil downhill guys skate softer wheels. i had a friend that could slide 85a bones wheels back in the 80s it wasnt ideal though. softer wheels have a lower frequency. the 93a dragons have a higher rebound so they can slide but they sound bad compared to some spitfires. i can control my slide better on harder wheels
thanks
nice slide
is a pop shovit a 180 jump if so pull out for aim
Oof, that woman at 0:25 hit really hard...

Hey! Thanks for your support. :)
But for a longboard are hard wheels still better for sliding or ?

Not sure what people use for bombing hills on a longboard. But it's a different technique with staying low and dragging your hand. Ofcourse depending on what you're doing.

Go out and do it loads. Repeat.
dayum you really can't powerslide on soft wheels ? I never skate with anything but that because of my work, isn't it worth even trying ? because sometimes i go downhill and i just can't brake past 30km/h or in the video do you mean i should learn first on hard wheels, i'm pretty sure i managed to get into a powerslide a few times on accident even on soft
Ай бұрын
Yes u can obviously. But for learning hard wheels are easier. Also im talking about street/ramp skaters. If you're a longboarder/cruiser you probably have softer wheels. Then you need more speed and commitment.
Wait you put your weight on the front foot? I thought you put weight on the back foot...you know...to push the board forward no?
2 жыл бұрын
You sort of pivot on your front foot. Obviously not all weight on the front. Just enough to make it easier to slide the board.
pop shovits i think maybe not
Not impossible but very hard to learn

Yes ofcourse. Depends on what you're doing.
"...It's impossible to powerslide on soft wheels" Ok, so you have no idea what you're talking about.

In this conversation we're talking about street/ramp skaters who are just starting out their powerslide journey. Obviously if you bomb hills at insane speeds the type of wheel is a preference.
@Shinra_X

@ Doesn't change the fact that you're just plain wrong. And you don't need insane speeds to powerslide soft wheels at all.
Another useless skateboard tutorial… this is the equivalent of “Pop, flip catch” being a kickflip tutorial.
