Loc Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I needed something to help my legs stay nimble throughout the summer and got myself an Axe II complete from www.sk8kings.com. Ricky the owner was nice enough to put my set together after work on a Friday and even meet me in a parking lot to give me pointers. I'm a complete n00b on pavement and he was impressed with my 'turns' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loc Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I know of Silverfish, but are there other good resources for slalom technique? I'm looking for something like the tech files on BOL here so I don't have to dig through forum threads to find good stuff. Still trying to get the pumping thing down :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gecko Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 pumping isn't hard but its easier with a target....I'm sure Richy runs fairly regular sessions if you can make it to those it will greatly improve your technique....you should also start buying 10 packs of cones (real ones from sk8kings) so you have your own...I set a lot of 20-30 cone courses in a small part of a parking lot, 50 cones is all mere mortals need...but it will give you a workout like no other new to slalom section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loc Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Thanks guys. I also found this after digging around: http://home.comcast.net/~jampet99/ldp.html It mentions different types of pumping, I guess I should learn all styles?

Gecko Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 BTW Slalom Skateboardier is an awesome site I have had problems and when I finally figured out exactly how to ask the question i got great answers from folks there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arclite Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 that video that Loc posted has my favorite funk song of all time on it When I get my long board I think i might want to learn that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
