Why skaters like it

Linked in r/NewSkaters threads about reverts and slides. One commenter says its ideas made slides so much easier.

“you need to keep your front foot ahead of your rotation so you are pushing the board around, not behind so you are dragging it. These ideas made slides so much easier.”

Get that shit! Lemme help you out! Unfortunately I can’t find his video on reverts anywhere so sorry about that this should help though a little. You aren’t gonna powerslide but you’ll need to know the physics. [VIDEO]

Have you seen this from SKATEiQ: [VIDEO] I remember seeing another one where he says you need to keep your front foot ahead of your rotation so you are pushing the board around, not behind so you are dragging it. These ideas made slides so much easier.
