However, with hard wheels, the icing out is more immediate than with a soft wheel. You will know right away if you are too far back because the board will ice out almost immediately. The last tip for not icing out is to compensate for the slidier wheels by not kicking out as dramatically as you would with a soft wheel. If you kick out hard, like you are trying to get a 78a wheel to slide under 20 mph, you will end up with more pressure on your front foot which will cause the board to spin past 90 degrees, close to a Sometimes the extra momentum carried from the harder kickout will cause you to fall before the rotation is completed.
Do little speed checks here and there to get used to hooking back up from the slide standing up. Once you are comfortable with speed checks, try to turn those into longer stand up slides and boom, you have officially learned how to control hard wheels!
Learning the basics of tech slide can definitely flatspot wheels so here are some tips to help prevent that. Also, carving into the slide, keeping your shoulders pointed downhill, and looking where you want to slide will help keep the board angled.
If you open up your shoulders this will make you turn 90, or start the rotation of a Now that you know the basics of how to control hard wheels, you can move on to trying some tricks out. The most basic trick is the coleman slide, which you will have already done to get used to the feeling of sliding hard wheels.
This coleman slide can then be turned into a one or two armed layback slide. These slides look very steezy when done right. Other beginner tech slide tricks include one footed coleman slides, s, and glove down bluntslides. We will cover these tricks in a later guide. Contact us with any questions and keep shredding!

If you know a bit about Downhill Skateboarding, you will know this name: Kevin Reimer has the record for winning several Downhill World Championships and any race he enters. This Samurai 10" x The aim behind this design was to develop the easiest and fastest downhill board available today.
It also features a flat-topped W concave that is meant to be subtle enough to not effect pushing, but noticeable enough to hold your foot on toeside corners and slides.
With a mellow concave, more gentle and round than other concaves which allows for more foot contact with the board, meaning more grip, more control, and less feedback that can slow you down. Many of todays downhill and freeride boards have intense concave that hurts your feet and in fact hinders your skating, and the Samurai has the opposite of these extremes.
Built to be super light using the least amount of material possible, and allowing the use of large race wheels 75mm and above without wheel bite. Check out the full range of Powell Peralta Decks. Loaded Longboards are known for quality and epic designs, with so many missing the Old Chubby Unicorn they decided to bring a new Chubby design and raced the Gnar Bars!
Welcome Loaded Chubby Blood Slayer Longboard, their new Downhill, Freeride Machine that came with some super technical features to just blow your mind. If you are a fan of longboarding, well then you must try this board:.
A monstrous reincarnation of the classic Chubby Unicorn, the Blood Slayer boasts rocker, wide W concave, functional wheel well flares, and nose and tail kicks to create an ergonomic platform for downhill destruction and freestyle fury.
Built-in grab rails and recessed, angled truck mounts shave weight, lower your center of gravity, and keep your steering geometry true. Urethane sidewalls and new truck hole inserts, a basswood core, and a UHMW base provide abrasion resistance, durability, moisture resistance, and vibration damping. Rocker cradles the outer edges of your feet and creates a subtle locked-in sensation, keeping your feet firmly planted in slides and providing a steady and natural platform for foot movement.
Rocker also slightly lowers your center of gravity for enhanced stability. Recessed truck mounts drop your truck baseplates deeper into the deck for a lower ride height, increased stability, and improved sliding performance. They are angled to neutralize the wedging effects created by the rocker, keeping your steering geometry true. Flared wheel wells rise above the top surface of the deck, increasing wheel clearance while also creating ergonomic features that provide lateral support and extra leverage for your feet.
These flares promote board awareness and keep your feet locked into contoured pockets while sliding, cornering, and tucking. An intuitive W concave enhances rider control in all toeside maneuvers. The central hump is tall yet wide, providing strong lateral support near the transitions without compromising arch comfort. The W runs along the entire length of the standing platform to ensure maximum control in any stance. A fully symmetrical shape ensures optimal ergonomics for any maneuver and any style in every orientation.
Beefy nose and tail kicks provide ample leverage and a comfortable surface for catching tricks and balancing manuals. With a geometry designed to generate a usable "pop", the Blood Slayer is ready to ollie, no comply, and shuvit to your little heart's content.
Two sets of CNC routed grab rails on the deck's underside shave weight and act as chubby wubby love handles for predrifts and early grabs of all varieties. Generous application of medium-coarse griptape ensures ample traction and confidence. At the heart of the Blood Slayer is a basswood core that balances rigidity at speed with just enough compliance to dissipate energy from vibrations and impacts. The belly of the beast is sealed with a layer of UHMWPE, the material commonly used in slide pucks and snowboard bases.
This dense material helps filter out some of the higher frequency road vibrations while also providing a layer of protection against abrasion and moisture. A sidewall of high durometer urethane is poured around the board's perimeter. Bonded to the wood and fiberglass skins, the sidewall protects the lightweight core and provides vibration damping throughout the entire board. Arbor Arsenal Trucks Atlas ATM Skateboards 3.
