Anyone experienced with bombing hills and reaching those crazy speeds of 30-40 mph? I want to learn how to skate large hills better and to overcome the fear of going too fast lol. Anyone got any tips on powerslidng to stop and how to grow some cajones to skate bigger hills?

dang I wouldn't recommend doing that unless you're really experienced. I just got some bruises on my arm going downhill that's not even that steep. make sure you wear some padding if you decide to do that.

sliding is fun
These guys rip at slides and cross stepping

I like to go fast, but i have more fun at the park. Ramps and such. I have a sector9 for downhill, the gummy wheels are harder to break loose, but do like the guys in that vid and i think ya could slide anything.
