Awesome tips! Starting to get bored of my GTR after 3k miles, learning to slide the board I think will rekindle my love for it!
@Spencer Madden shut up you’re a bot account that joined 2 days ago
4k miles on a onewheel and it keeps getting better!!
Rode my GTR Carbon All terrain 1st time today. Impressed. Learning a lot from your great videos.
Your a good teacher,thankyou.
Chris you made an excellent decision getting content from Andrew. You gave me a new calling. Everyday I'm back on street wheels. 10 miles of practice everyday. I've seen people slide but this is a different beast. I do miss being able to hop off-road, and carve like I'm on heroine with the puenamics though.
You should do a video on you and Ricky's progress in this new journey.
I don't recommend doing 25mph + with a loose twin king pin. These are next level disciplines. Know your limits, then go for it. I get him, Just a few points on safety. Please wear the appropriate protection when learning. Good insights. I test all Psychotiller builds in so cal. Its my job. I stand behind their release. Otherwise we don't ship it.Practically everything is geared for high acceleration. Learn how to fall! It's not a random practice. If you understand that there are 2 ways of falling. Straight or goofy. You will find that your tendencies will determine your action. I can't emphasize it enough, learning to fall, is more important than foot skills lessons. I got my lessons from wisdom( hard bad slams). Knowing what to do is empowering, you can break more barriers then. E-boarding is very different than kick skate. Falling in excess of 40mph is no joke. I want you alive! And to come in when your needs are more than what is out there. Not a plug, just saying. Sk8 like your dying!
Hehe I did the exact opposite. Make it as tight als possible still barely able to go around a street corner. Put on big wide wheels so I avoid sliding. Over time I learned to turn better so I put on even harder bushings. When you are going 40mph+ you really don’t want loose trucks.
I feel like this video fails to say that this applies to slow carve boards but not every board in general.
people go way faster downhill on loose trucks, gotta get flowy
@@Zachsnotboard downhill people also ride with minimal safety equipment going around corners on the wrong side of the road. just because you can do it doesn't mean its a good idea. If you Esk8 every day for commuting you don't want to be super focused on balancing and looking at the road all the time. You need a stable board that doesn't throw you of if you make a small Mistake.
@@tech518b9 trust me I had the same problem when I first started but good trucks and bushing (Venom bushings) make a difference. If you tighten down and compress bushings you are just ruining their rebound. I really do think the eboard world could learn a lot from downhil
@@Zachsnotboard in some ways the e board world can learn something from downhill split angles and stuff like that but in other ways it also creates very uniqe problems. You downhill guys have the freedom of choosing your stance you want to stand pretty freely (most weight forward and so on). On e boards you often end up with most of your weight on the back foot when accelerating with like 6kW (8hp) and when you have loose trucks with most weight on you back bad things happen. Im not saying you cant have lose trucks but most of the high power DIY board riders preflare hard bushings. The boards in this videos are Toys compared to whats around in the DIY world.
@@tech518b9 yeah I feel you, well ill be getting my eboard this week so well see what transaltes. Biggest thing I see with diy eboard racing is that they are basically not a skateboard anymore with hydraulic trucks and air filled tires
I've always avoided sliding but after watching this video it makes me want to go out and give it a try.
Best video yet, great rider
I think this video should be renamed 4-5 tips on how to increase falls and increase your time having to recover from crashes.
Yeah, if you push too hard too soon, but if you push yourself gradually and stay aware of your limits, it's going to help you progress. Alot of what he said also relates to street skating and this is how I would progress.
You're never guaranteed not to fall, but like I said, if you know your limits, you will get hurt less.
@@marsbase3729 But this video is not about how to fall less when skating, it's about how to slide. And sliding inherently increases the likelihood that you'll fall over just straight riding.
@@markchoi5777 Well if that's the case...Just don't ride a skateboard...Play Fortnite instead...safer...Haha....
@@aldousbwilson Um, no, that does not even remotely follow. That is a totally false dichotomy. There is no forced choice between sliding and not skating! And even if there were, that has nothing to do with whether this video is about what it purports to be about: tips for safer skating. It's not. Claiming that loosening trucks makes downhill skating safer in general is absurd. It only becomes an issue if you are talking about sliding (not all downhill is sliding) and even then is debatable.
Actually, I think this is one of the better tip videos you can have. I grew up in Colorado where snowy and icy roads are an issue. What I did as a kid was find roads without houses and cars and purposefully make my car lose traction on the icy roads. I very quickly learned the limits of my car, how to recover when the car lost control, and was made a much better driver as a result of it. Those practice sessions taught me more than thousands of hours on a dry road and have saved my rear more times than I can count in nearly two decades of driving.
At least from my viewpoint, this type of practice is extraordinarily important less for tricks and more for understanding how to get out of sticky situations. If you ride a lot, you are going to encounter things like gravel on turns, cars and people popping out unexpectedly, and pot holes and large cracks you didn’t see until the last second. If anything, you’ll learn when to bail vs try to avoid a hazard and be safer for it.
0:12 if that's electric skate, this guy is a fucking pro!!!
u guys are awesome! i been sayn it since the DAY i joined esk8!
Glad you're enjoying the content!
What board did u ride ? I'm gonna buy my first electric board and I was thinking of Exway flex . Do you have any other recommendations? O would love to learn to ride and have fun. Flexible og carving.
Important one question for me : are the slides possible "free-wheeling" or is throttle (consistent as you mentioned) necessary ?
They're possible free wheeling but you'll loose a lot of momentum, so yes, the throttle is needed (especially when doing the on flat)
10k views = about 1k injuries I recon. A way less sketchy way to get good at drifting in a circle is laying your back knee down to front foot. wet tarmac for constant power slides. wear stuff you can fall off & slide on. £15 ebay slide gloves, plastic skate knees, high skate shoes so you dont mash your ankles + manabi snowboard crash pants/ bag.
I feel like these tips involve doing things that are guaranteed to make me fall xD
My problem with loosening my trucks is that they feel too loose already - it wabbles when I'm riding flat which is kind of annoying
I always think what is the point in double kingpin trucks if you're just going to get the hardest bushings and tighten her all the way? DKP trucks are so much fun when loose. The advice seems sound if you're used to tight.
Yes I agree... after riding different truck designs....the DKP design is best loose for freestyle carving
Excellent, I'll add some slide training to my nightly rides. Glad to have an exercise to dial it in!
Okay I get it, embrace the risky behavior a d if it doesn't kill you it will make you better at skateboarding.
Great videos guys, keep on pushing them out, I see you guys at a 100K subs in no time :)
Love how evolve teaches ppl
one thing i already noticed ; it's not so easy finding the "tipping point" as to where the screeching of the wheels start on these longer/heavier boards.. The 90 cm old-school decks i found easier to "throw around" and shift it sideways to be able to drift
It's all about the challenge!
Got my board 3 days ago I’m charging it 3 times a day riding it 😂
wear your safety gear. Take calculated risks while learning. take a fall.
its okay to eat the proverbial shit while riding, but its what you learn from the mistakes that matters.
What about throttle control?
Keep it consistent
The best trick I learned about not falling is that you just have to become jelly with the board you’ll know what I’m talking about when you get there
Literally it clicked today while riding, just started being looser and carving without thinking as much
Does anyone know if there's some sort of E Sk8 group FB page that's worth joining for the UK please? :)
I loosened my Trucks, had a couple of small beers then everything became fantastic ! Met you briefly a couple of weeks ago Andrew, Did you get to check out the Onsra ? I got the Direct Drive version 2nd hand. I'll be up at Evolve / Olympic Park either Thurs or Fri. Great vid btw ;)
Couple of beers can help for sure 😂. I did try the onsra, feels like a good board. Maybe see you around!
"had a couple of small beers and everything became fantastic"....I love it.
Legends, great video.
Thoughts about sliding on Cloud Wheels?
Cool vid! What sort of wheels are best for this?
I'd recommend the 85mm caguamas (purple as they're harder)
Lol. how many tyres you need to change after this?
nice vid mate
Much appreciated this video ! Wow awesome riding Andrew ! This is what i want to be able to do (again) on my Evolve GTR i just bought this week. I used to skate in the 80's and 90's , so i'm used to pretty large decks (no double tails back then) . I was really enjoying sliding, hitting the top of a curb and throwing my weight into it and just slide/carve across the top ! power slides are also great for stopping at high speeds. 360 slides also ; commitment is the trick i guess..
Are the ABEC 11 F1 wheels any good for sliding ?? I remember a podcast little while back where you guys mentioned that these were quite "slippery"?
(also read the comment below on the Caguamas wheels !)
Loosening my trucks ASAP ;-)
Glad you liked the video! The abec 11's slide fine, but they're not ideal for it.
Do I keep power while sliding?
Yes, keep the throttle consistent.
Loosening the trucks does not "make you more familiar with the limits of the board", it only changes those limits! That's not the same thing. Also, loosening trucks has absolutely nothing to do with traction. It would be one thing if you were advocating for loosening the trucks as a learning device, then tightening them back up, but that is not what is being advocated here.
Also, what does sliding even have to do with the subject here? This seems to be a video on tips to develop slides which is fine, but it's simply not a set of tips to reduce falling.
I fell going 22 mile an hour my knee fucked up
I am gonna get one qnd stick some all terrain wheels on it and use it to belp me get home from school because i am going through padics and roads, rocks and all sorts of terrain
dude I have been looking for someone who free rides an eboard ? tips on a setup? was looking at the kits thta I can put on my ddownhillh setup, also wondering if its possible to set up with slide wheels
So a few days ago I felt like a torn spaghetti after carving too fast and trying to see those limits.. lol (though not so much then)
Anyway it makes me wonder how much harder it is to slide with different wheel types, sizes and widths e.g. Polyurethane vs Airless Rubber Tires; 83mm vs 107mm etc.
How often do you replace parts on your board/boards? I would imagine that sliding/riding hard puts a strain on the motors?
No replacements to date, the board handles this style of riding really well.
I'm so happy to keep reading about the durability of these boards. Rode mine the 1st time today 😁 Impressive
Where is the traffic? Did you build that road wtf? :D
It’s a closed off road in Stratford
Its evolves private test track for there boards, VIP ONLY NO MEAT BOYS ALLOWED 🤣
Ricky Everett why you there then 😂
@@jasonhill1936 im only allowed in there to film them, after thats done i dont get to stay for the private sessions 🤣
Basically go crazy go stupid and you'll become better and more comfortable
splendid advice
Thanks for the tips!🤘
Sweet vid dude, you skate very well. I've got the Stoke, now i need a carbon street! 😂
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Excellent, thanks! Concrete information that I can use to begin practicing slides.
Any advice for handling surprise patches of gravel? That is my biggest paranoia. That I am in the middle of a hard carve and there it goes.
aye homie as for carving/turning in a gravel patch it will not turn out good. if you absolutely have to go in one you have to bend your knees and lower yourself as far as u can comfortably and "brace" for it. try to hit it slower because if its a large gravel patch your board can completely stop, but if its smaller those tips should help.
hellz yaaa🙌🙌🙌👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🔥🔥🔥
Are these practices bad for Hub Motors?
Can you comment on sliding with cloudwheels
Great content, I love the point about different surfaces and been able to adapt to different situations.
still love this
Hi two questions please :)
If you do a full 180 slide, do you have to switch to reverse on the controller as you come out of it, or does the board automatically go into reverse, also, have you put harder yellow wheels on the back end of your board to help it slide?
Thanks, Steve G :)
Ik this is old but oh well. If you listen I believe he turns off the motor when he does a 180 and turns it back on when he 180s again
What's the average speed your carve at
Thanks 🙏
i tried but it just wont slide. can you do tutorial how to slide in details. show what works and what dont.
smaller wheels, wet tarmac
Weight on your front foot will lighten the rear and make it more prone to slide...
I wish I had watched this video BEFORE I broke my wrist on my very first e-skateboard ride.
How do you get the board to go backwards when you have a electric skateboard? Do you just let off the Excelerator?
Evolve boards don’t go backwards, only boosted does that. But over all evolved is still much better
Jan
I could swear that I saw multiple times in the video that happened. Am I wrong?
@@vaejoviscarolinanus the board freewheels backwards.
@@vaejoviscarolinanus ya
Do all boards do that@@yiparoo ?
