I just took a quick break to grab a coffee and took the skateboard. I did a really fun powerslide. Ever since I started riding a track bike, my powerslides have been getting better and better. Now only if I could get the Backside Slide down, I’d be hyped. Skate mission tonight at the Franklin Mills Mall park, or whatever it’s called now.

It’s the same as doing a backside nose pivot. I’m still trying to get all four wheels to slide at once.
Never considered doing a backside powerslide. Sounds like a ton-o-fun.
that photo of the backside powerslide is in sf. the hills out there make it easier to powerslide any which way you want. flat ground is way harder. just thought y’all needed to know that. 2cents for the night.
give it another week and you can try it on ice.
Ice doesn’t form in 50+ degree weather. You should have worked on your bs powerslides at the park last night. All the surfaces there are slick…as if you didn’t know. On a side note this is my first comment since the launch. Woo hoo.
Practicing powerslides on ridiculously slippery floors and ramps is a good way to injure yourself (Or Re-injure yourself, in my case.)
Sliding your wheels on rough ground is way cooler than on some skatepark floor. It’s just like grinding your trucks: would you rather grind some waxed-ass plastic bench, or would you rather grind raw-ass fuckin’ concrete?
I can think of quite a few spots that have plastic benches (no need for wax) that would give any concrete ledge a run for it’s money.
Um, yea, I’ll take grindable concrete over grindable plastic anyday.
Concrete blows. Now if we’re talking granite that’s a different story all together.
“grindable concrete”
If you had two identical ledges, and one was plastic, and the other was concrete (thing bridge spot parking blocks), you can go right ahead and skate the plastic one, and I’ll skate the concrete one.
No, I won’t share.
Plastic. B, I think you are just trying to get me riled up!
I’ll take raw-ass please.
fuck the bullshit — find it and grind it.
