I'm 32 and got into skating again for the physical and mental wellbeing it provides. My other physical activity is indoor rock climbing Im happy to have discovered. These have been great for my mental and physical wellbeing the last few months. I feel stronger, and have more endurance than Ive ever been. I've never been interested in gym exercises or weight lifting

The two activities both have a tendency to exercise a favored side. Climbing, not to the same degree be still pretty noticble. My left leg is stronger, but a shrimp compared to my right. Same for my left forearm, bicep and tricep from climbing. The upper body seems more straight foreward to address these imbalances.

What do you do (besides skate goofy) to balance strength on your nondominant side? I have access to a small weight gym through my rock climing gym and a second one soon through work.

Has anyone attempted or seen videos of any hands down freestyle slides on a surfskate like a coleman or pushup slide using pucks?

I love skating this one route I regularly & comfortably hit 20-25mph on my 40" surfskate. It has a good set up at the end for a pushup slide. I've never slid a longboard and at this point Im way more comfortable on my surfskate. Its quick responsiveness makes regular longboard trucks feel unsteerable.

I have a fat wedge on my regular popsicle that makes it way more comfortable for me. If the sliding surfskate is 100% a no go, I might look in to dropping the surftrucks from the longboard and trying a wedge out on it.

I'd really like to try on of these downhill puck slides, preferably on this board. Probably sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, but if anyones tried whats your experience?
