Powersliding - Put on the breaks, and look good doing it!
Monday May 12, 2008
Powerslides are the coolest and fastest way to stop on skateboards. A powerslide is where you are skating along, sometimes pretty fast, and spin your board to the side and skid to a stop. It's very similar to how you stop on a snowboard, except that if you mess up, instead of falling on snow you eat concrete or pavement. Most people have a hard time learning to powerslide, but it's extremely valuable. Imagine being able to stop immediately - you can use the powerslide to keep yourself from getting into traffic, to keep from running into someone, and to stop with style.Read How to Powerslide to learn how to put on the breaks, and look good doing it!

The Ty Slide is the coolest slide I have ever seen. It was invented by Ty Page in the 1970’s. Photo is courtesy of Ty Page websight at http://www.ty-page.com/

Learning this valuable trick can help you skateboard you away from accidents. Practicing is the first key to this, and making a style whenever you stop is the reward.
I think that I will print this trick for my brother because he’s a skateboarder and so is my cousin and me.
You know what? you’re cute! lol How old are you, because if I didn’t have a botfriend then I would so go out with you. =)
Oh, yea, and those trick that I printed out really helped. My cousin is outside trying to do it right now. Thanx! ♥
