    Jon you gotta get some powell thane. Snakes are some of the best slide wheels on the market because of how controlled and readable the transition from grip to slip is. They start to sort of hiss when you're deep in a carve close to breaking traction and then you just kick them out and they are sideways. You'll slide a lot further and easier which is great because you can spend more time to focus focus on technique and less time worried about how fast you're going into the slide. Don't be fooled by the 75a duro. These slide easily like they are 85a lol but absorb road vibration because they are 75a and "soft". Glove down they can feel icy at first but stay on top of your board and they'll be extremely controlled. Word of warning tho, snakes are great up to about 85 - 90F outside temp and then become almost too slidey. In that case I like to switch to the byrons which are in the SSF pro formula that have a bit more stopping power but the same controlled release - or the Kevin Rimer greens in SSF pro. Purples are basically jumbo snakes it's the same formula but have more edge grip for taking corners. Once you're comfy at low speeds on snakes and have good technique you can try the same thing on other wheels that grip more and require more speed to slide as smoothly. I've skated powell thane probably for the last 7 years at least after trying most freeride wheels on the market.

    You're not bending your knees enough when you drop into the coleman. You're kind of upright, and while you're reaching for the ground, you're carving and starting to slide. When you go into the coleman you need to be a lot lower to start. You should be doing a heelside turn almost squated down to the ground, and then put your hand down and start to slide. This is more controlled because you're already low to the ground and don't need to "fall" into it like you're doing. Try a super wide heel carve and get as low as possible and start putting your hand down from there to initiate the slide. Make sure you do a good pre-carve in the OPPOSITE direction of which you want to turn, and then carve hard and sit low into the heelside. Afterwards put your hand down and start to slide. A good pre-carve followed by a carve that gets extended into a slide feels extremely controlled when break traction, and overall smooth. Right now you're almost going straight, starting to carve and trying to slide at the same time. It's too many actions at once and when you're starting out you're not going to link them together nicely for a consistent slide. Instead try to do each distinct step and link it together. Pre-carve toe side, carve heelside and get as low as you can, keep carving and kick out the slide - initially just focus on holding a 45* slide angle until you stop. Later work on snapping it back to finish but only after you feel very comfortable initiating and bringing back. Finishing the slide is the last step and is made a lot easier if you're first steps go smoothly so don't try and rush into this part if you're feeling iffy about initiation and holding the slide. Good luck and hope you stick with it.

    Wicked awesome detail and encouragement. 🙏 Since this session, nearing 3 months ago, I’m doing the basic movements as you noted decently and consistently. I still struggle with board returning / wanting to go forward again due to my inconsistent front foot pressure; truthfully, I think lack of foot pressure is because I’m not sitting directly on the board-rather too far back. Got the basic Coleman stop, but developed bad habit-honestly, of backing off. Still slowly progressing and wanting to work knee mobility, but will come in more practice time.

    I think Dominick did great except for grabbing stinkbug. Grabbing is okay, just grab behind the rear knee, not between the knees. Stinkbug grabbing will cause the downhill wheels to lift - which can increase the chance for flatspots to happen and also for highsiding.

    Nice! Looking relaxed and calm around traffic. Keep in mind that ppl in vehicles usually have no idea what we're doing, so if possible, it's definitely safer to shut down at every risky encounter (such as the pickup truck at 1:16). We train to stay calm and relaxed so that we can shutdown calmly. With more calmness and relaxation during skating, it may lead to some hairy situations, but always try to go behind a vehicle if possible. Cutting in front of a vehicle is quite risky imo. Also, one more safety tip is to try to shutdown near the curb - not near the middle like you did at 1:35. How to shutdown near the curb? All you gotta do is initiate your shutdown while looking at the curb or, at the very least, looking downhill. If you look at 1:35, your initiation was sort of looking downhill, which should work in a straight. But since this is a right turn, you actually ended up in the middle after the slide. One goal you could accomplish next is to practice shutdown accuracy. Instead of marking where to slide, mark where you want to stop and try to repeat that until you're more and more precise. Good luck as usual! Enjoy!

Definitely cautious about not wanting to give bad perception of downhill community. Most all my stops that session were not as close as this one, but that’s because it was my first time over 30 mph and didn’t have good timing/control. Street/road is normally not that busy, but then again - all it takes is one driver. Have been using air braking a lot and it appears I’m best in control until 28 mph. So continuing to stay in 25-28 with solid stop where I aim.

    Wicked rad 🤘 and congrats. Are doing only stand up to crouch or tuck, too? You’ll easily get there with right hill. 👍

    All good and heck yeah. Good luck. If you send me a video via WhatsApp-I’ll include you in an upcoming video (Jon Krause and pic is of me with bouldering pads). What’s app keeps integrity of video - regardless android/iphone - as far as I know.

    You finally did it, it's so cool! I've been downhill for 7 years now (I'm 42, bro), and it's been about a year and a half since I changed my stance from regular to goofy due to a ruptured ankle ligament, and I'm barely catching up to where I was before the injury. Always be careful of injuries. As you get older, you will likely be taking more medications, so be aware of the precautions before getting on the board. The reason I got hurt was because I had an allergic skin reaction in the middle of summer and the antihistamine I took caused a blackout during the toeside check. It's scary to even think about it if I didn't have a helmet. Anyway, seeing you happy makes me feel the same way I did when I first succeeded in coleman and heelside stand-up 180. Cheers to your future downhill journey.👍

    Thanks. Whoa-that is some crazy allergic skin reaction? Would never have thought of that. Sucks you got hurt, but glad you’re getting back to where you were. Now you got me more scared on toe sides - 😳 - nah, just kidding…but when I do start, I’ll be wearing full helmet and chest/back protector. I’m more of a homeopathic person, and minimize any meds, however currently on inhaler/albuterol for asthma/lung scarring from desert shield/storm when I was 21 - exposed to vaporized benzene/petroleum from burning oil wells in Kuwait. Any additional info/suggestions getting started, your recovery steps back into toe side, etc. would be welcome. Thanks for an informative comment and watching. 🙇🏻‍♂️

    @@cantskate5535 This happened once before and I ended up writing it again to see if there was an error in KZread's comment system. After getting injured, I only rehabilitated by stretching and walking for about two months and started running little by little. After that, I really wanted to ride a board, so I bought an LDP board and did long-distance pushing. When the third month came, I carefully headed up the hill again, and of course changed my stance from regular to goofy. From then on, I proceeded step by step in the same way as when I first learned sliding. It was frustrating because my body didn't follow what I knew in my head, but I was so happy just to be able to ride a board again, so I was able to recover to this point now. I finally switched to the shorter, smaller board I was looking forward to a while ago (I bought it 2 years ago when I got injured and had to start over from scratch, so I couldn't ride it and just drooled) and I'm feeling great. The next step is toeside glove down, right? I'll leave a few links to some relatively recently uploaded tutorial videos that I thought were pretty well made. You may have already seen it, but I hope it helps you grow (please keep in mind that the second one is a goofy stance). kzread.info/dash/bejne/eHusuq-MoLzLf6Q.htmlsi=XO5AjbwYcF0ordwC kzread.info/dash/bejne/oaxplK2aqNapmdI.htmlsi=89dcDy8wBarlB_Rl

    @@Kufunninapuh I was very depressed thinking that I would have to give up my hobby because of my injury, but I overcame it by thinking positively, “That’s right, I have two feet.” It was bleak to return to the beginning what I had built up over the years, but I definitely learned things quickly with a regular stance, so it wasn't as bad as I thought. There are still some awkward and frustrating aspects, but the joy of becoming even a little more proficient is much greater than that.🤟

    Yay! Congrats man! I find that when I am trying to go faster relaxing and releasing the tension is really important. Feeling the feed back from the wheels and not forcing the slide keeps you below 90 degrees. You should try to do some low degree speed checks next.

    Thank you. Truthfully, i don’t know how to feel when the wheels will break, but definitely understand not forcing a move/slide. I’ve seen speed checks, but, again, have no basis of how to do it. Any input or method would be awesome. 🤘
