I've been skating (all solo sessions lol) for about 1.5 years. Glove down stuff is feeling comfortable, have topped out at about 45mph.
Been attempting stand up slides for about a year now. I've learned what I can from youtube (weight forward, foot placement, set up carve...), the rest has been a ton of trial and error.
I'm looking for what thoughts/ feels work for other people for initiating and holding stand ups. My current biggest issue is definately initiating a slide without touching my puck to the ground.
I'm very open to any criticism. I'm stoked to have found this site because I haven't seen any other downhill skaters where I live, so it's really just been me talking to my wife about this, and she's great but has no idea what i'm talking about lol. I just want to get better.
I've attempted attaching a few videos to this post of my form so we'll see if that worked. My current setups are:
36" evo, 190mm 42* munkae trucks
krank 87 back 84 front, rayne envys
33" moonshine spark, 143mm molly V1's
25* back 95 tall barrel bs 92.5 rs
55* front 80 tall barrel bs 75 rs
sphericals in both, been trying a lot of different wheels
Thanks for any feedback!
