Yeah. I have sliding gloves for proper slidey stuff stuff, but I normally stand-up-powerslide to slow down on hills. I dont know how my new board is going to be for sliding, because it's more of a pool board. The deck is nice and short, and the wheels are quite small, medium compound, and rounded, so that's cool. but I got some 1/4" risers on there with soft bushings, so it might be too carvey for proper sliding
