POV Skate Tutorial #11: How to fs POWERSLIDE

Jumping off is called bailing for a reason, man. That shit will eat your ankles & knees, especially if you're doing it at high speeds. It's a last resort because of how dangerous it is. If you're looking to bomb hills or maintain high speed, definitely look into learning **powerslides** ASAP. It'll save your body & shoes at the cost of your wheels, but they're the cheapest of the lot. * [VIDEO] * [VIDEO] If it's just cruising then I'll always suggest to be aware of your speed. It's addictive, man. But if you make sure you're always moving manageable, you'll never be halfway down something & hit with the realisation that you're going way faster than you intended. * Carving is a good way to manage your speed, but isn't effective in getting yourself to a straight stop, unless you do it long enough to kill your own speed. * The sole of your shoe is probably what most people rely on early on. Just step your back foot off your board & scrape it over the ground. Stomping it down is what's rolling your ankle. It'll grind out the bottom of your shoe though, which might or might not be a problem for you, depends completely on yourself. * [VIDEO]

Have your feet spread apart and from there it is really just turning your whole body starting with your shoulders. This [VIDEO] tutorial from Skateboard Bruh really helped me out.
