Parallel Slide

How to do "Parallel Slide"

[evilzzzability]

Great video!
I am working on my parallel slide. One trick I have learnt (you can see it in your own video) is that prior to entering the slide, you should NOT have your feet scissored; instead your toes should be level, or if anything you should have your normal-scissor-baclward-foot an inch or so in front. If you do this it becomes a lot easier to initiate the slide instead.

You make it look so easy! I'm still practising this. I always end up turning instead of sliding because I'm too scared.

finally a decent parallel slide vid, i'm off to keep trying aka get some quarter sized blisters.

great video, would this work with 100mm wheels?

My brain refuses to let me practice this, I think I need to wrap myself in bubble wrap before I'll ever be able to do this. =(

I just learnt how to hockey stop/slide in the last couple weeks and I can do it without thought now, but this just isn't happening. I can't even practice it because I just trip, spin, shit myself. lol

Holy shit! This tut helps me a Thanks ^^

[Yourenai]

Can I do that on normal wheels, or sliding wheels only? thanks

[a_LaLi_LuLe_Lo]

the harder the better. but you can do it with any type it just takes longer to learn adjust and get used to them

[MarcVentura]

Can u do this on agressive inclines and is it a useful stop?

[rainymornings]

You guys really know how to make instructional videos! How many of you are there, two? I have an actual question too, though: how did the learning process go for you with regards to this slide? I can't even do it on ice skates, let alone on rollers, when I go slowly I'll just end up turning and I'm sort of scared to go fast because I know I won't be able to stop this way (or any way). Have you ever been at that stage? And could you just do it at some point, or did you build it up in some way?

[nicospain]

but, they have to be like hard wheels ??? or you can do slide with any kind of wheels?

Hi.. thanks for the video, i could learn the stance from the video, i have got a problem. I tried to power slide, instead of sliding my skates are taking turns.. could you let me know whether problem is with my turn or my skate wheels . I am using 82a wheels.

[harenthiran]

When try parallel slide I always end up with slide with turning and not actually sliding. When I bring the forward leg front before sliding its done perfectly. Now I can stop at emergency. Now I want to lern the non dominant side

[damianlewandowski]

i cant do that because i drop to the front because my wheels hook by asphalt. whats wrong?

[arsalankhawaja]

Hey man could u help me out?

No pads. Confidence level = high. Nice stops.

Just use 85 - 86
80 - 82 - like glue,
