I can't stop watching this


Man the more I watch this, the more I want to search for fun places to ride. My skills progressed a decent amount this year, but I'm no where near as good as some of these guys. I so want to get those slides to switch figured out. Hitting jumps are out of my level yet too.....

I really liked the slide transitions beginning at 1:55.

I think my trucks are too loose for serious downhill but that did look like fun.

Those transitions are the slides I was talking about. I think it must require a decent speed though. When I've tried it I either skid stopped (still very satisfying) or I was to over the board, and biffed er bad. The local shop has some orange and red bushings for me to try out for my skate trucks, probably not the ultimate solution; but, it'll do till I get myself a stiffer/longer board for downhill. Our shop is trying to get access to the local ski hill for summer riding, not looking good though.
