Two-minute downhill slide section from Future Primitive, a Powell Peralta Bones Brigade video from 1985. Skaters throw standup slides on hills while wearing padded gloves.

Why skaters like it

Shared as an example of old school slide skating, which one commenter calls a lost art form next to today's ollie-heavy street tricks.

“Slides are rad, definitely a lost art form. 99.9% of all street tricks these days are some sort of ollie variation. …”

Sure you can bomb a mountain on a skateboard.[VIDEO] [VIDEO] Not that you necessarily should, but I bomb hills with my longboarder friends on my 8.25 street deck and my 9.75 vert deck. Its not easy, especially on the street deck, but I can, and it kinda has added fun being a little frisky.

Slides are rad, definitely a lost art form. 99.9% of all street tricks these days are some sort of ollie variation. Not that ollies aren't cool, it's just kinda monotonous. Here's an old slide video [VIDEO] for ya. Note the padded gloves.
