i've been successful a couple times, but it usually turns out like what happened to you.

blake steele makes it look easy.

you never know if you can do something until you just try. Is it worse to try something and fail at it or to never try at all? Cool

you have to lean back really far so all of you weight is on your back foot

skimboarder, stick with smoking it.... sliding looks like it could be bad for your health Wink

i would say it was worth trying it once, i wasn't even able to lift my leg for two days after this so another try probably won't happen. maybe if i was out there during a rain or something. if i had actually slid and just slipped out i definitely would, but that instant stop just killed me.
