    A great way I found to do the 180 he was talking about is taking all the weight off your back foot and onto your front foot. If you do that and use your upper body to do a 180 you can even practice them standing still. Not exactly the motion of a powerslide but great way to get started.

    Powerslides are the scariest at first. They require a lot of finesse when you start trying them but they will teach you board control and confidence like nothing else. I got used to them bombing mellow hills and *towards the bottom when you just start coming to flat* (don't do that shit at the top of the hill), carving front side increasingly harder until I start hitting the limit and just get used to feeling your back wheels juuuust start sliding. Since you're still technically "carving" and the hill is basically over, it's not too scary mentally and you maintain the illusion of grip even though you're trying to go beyond it. It will also slow you down so each carve is less and less scary during each run. If you have to bail you will probably fall on your butt and not get pitched forward. I did that so many times until I felt warmed up and then tried to replicate that feeling on flat. I never thought about my weight (which is probably a mistake). The only variables I was toying with was how hard I was "carving" and where my front foot was, pivot wise, so I would work towards tightening the carve radius until it looked like a powerslide and the front wheels also started to slide.
    Probably not the smartest way to learn them but when I was a kid I figured a powerslide was just an exaggerated frontside carve...This video is a much safer way to get used to them.

    My mental trick is just before turning into it I imagine an invisible chair under me and kind of "sit" down into a crouched position , and during the slide push forwards on the front foot, to get all four wheels properly sliding. Basicly lower your butt and push on the front foot, to slide further.

    i used to watch this video and be so confused how he did it, but what i learnt is that to do this you have to really lean on ur heels, like for frontside have all the weight on your heels and for backside all the weight on your toes, and also the other thing that helped me was starting off like a 180 revert, shown in 1:37, and then also putting weight on the pivoting foot (front foot) so that you can hold the power slide in place, also be light on ur feet, it’s easier to do power slides on brick walkways and other smooth surfaces

      @diddymelone2265 8 місяців тому

      Hey there, hope you got it by now. In my experience and how ben describes it, its the opposite really.
      Lean Back, all weight on the ball of your feet and No weight on your heels.
      Push the board forward with the Front Part of your feet.
      The all weight on heels way also works, but in my experience its much less controlled and you have to Hop a little to get into the Slide, which makes it much harder.

    The trick to backside powerslide is in how you position your front foot. Hang the toes of your front foot slightly over the other side. This will allow you to lean back on both feet and get a good slide.

    I was wondering about power sliding and the affect of having the whees be loose vs tight. I am referring to the axle nut being tight enough to where the wheel rolls freely vs the nut being flush with the axle where the wheel has some play.
    The next question is how much affect do spacers have when it comes to speed? It would be a cool video to do.

      Hi Martin. Try not turning your shoulders as much, just your legs.
      Also, put a little more weight on your back foot and lighten up on the front foot and you will be less likely to follow through with the pivot.
