Yes lol there called Bentley Slides i do believe or power slides but i know ive done them so yeah pretty possible lol just get low on the board like they do and then slide with one hand on the ground using your feet to turn the board 180, 360, or whatever degree you wish lol ive done the 180, 360, and barely 540...lol try it on a vert wall even more fun ive not landed it yet though. :-5:

They are called "Berts" after the legendary surfer Larry Bertleman and thay are alot of fun. There's a bunch of shots in my gallery of myself and my friend Jeff doing berts.

Yea, berts are awesome. I also like berts but you hold yourself up for a split second with one hand and then bring yourself back down.
