How to do the Slide
I may not like the hot weather but that is just what kids are waiting for. It is the best time for them to go for a dip in the pool and soak up the sun. Isn’t it amazing how they can stay in the water for hours and still have the energy for more activities? After the swim, they pick up their longboard and do their thing on the sidewalk. They are just out for a little bit of cruising before trying some tricks.
They might want to do the slide. A slide is when a rider pulls his board out and gets it so the wheels are not gripping the pavement and can be moved freely. This trick is useful when you want to stop very quickly or if you just want to show off a little. The slide can be accomplished in a couple of ways. Toeside is when you put your hands on the pavement in the direction of your toes and spin the board in a clockwise motion. Heelside is when you put your arms behind you spinning in a counter clockwise motion.
