CONT

To perform a "power slide" a pair of gloves is essential. As the rider comes in to do a power slide he crouches and then places a hand on the ground (his right if he wishes to turn to the right). He then twists his body in the desired direction, extending his legs as he does so and meanwhile making sure that his feet remain firmly on the board. The wheels slide crossways over the ground and when the turn is completed the rider draws the board back underneath him.
