Arrow Help With Glides!! - 02-08-2004, 09:30 PM

Ok i know the moves to do the glides, thats not a problem, the biggest problem is that how are u suppose to get that affect of "gliding" with the friction caused by the shoes? meaing whenever i try the move im not able to slide or make it look good because my shoes keep getting stuck on the floor when i try to "glide"? please help me out!!! thanks

Get some K-swiss shoes...they work well and have no friction under em. haha And use the edge and tips of ur shoes when doin glides..not the entire shoe.

the thing with glides, is there is ONE main principal. Toe-flat, Toe-flat. One foot is on its toes, AND DOESNT MOVE. Thsi foot takes about 90% percent of your weight. The other foot is now basically weightless and free of friction effects as result. Just do some basic stuff and soon enough, you'll crack it. took me about 4 weeks of solid practice to gte a grip on the glides
