Recommended in r/NewSkaters as a clear way to learn powerslides for checking speed when foot braking is not enough.

“… I usually just powerslide to speed check when I'm going faster than my usual foot break technique can handle. This video helped me figure out powerslides …”

Nollie [LINK] has some great videos on manuals [VIDEO], nose manuals [VIDEO], FS [VIDEO] and BS [VIDEO] powerslides VLSkate [LINK] has a lot of really great tips and trick ideas too As for your ollie rotation, make sure your shoulders are staying in-line with the board. The body's natural instinct is to turn towards the direction that you're travelling - this causes your shoulders and upper body to rotate so you are facing the nose of the board. When your body rotates, your board also rotates.

Gotcha. I have trouble doing reverts at speed. A full 180 pivot while moving quickly is tough. I usually just powerslide to speed check when I'm going faster than my usual foot break technique can handle. This video helped me figure out powerslides: [VIDEO]
