Dragon Slide

[Chekos]

I was wondering if the name for the trick when you do a up side down 50/50 (slideing on gripetape) is called a dragon slide or if it is even a trick. If any1 wants to know how to do it ill just post a trick tips on it so just ask.

casper

[Chekos]

its not casper i know how to do that and what that is im talking both feet on the graphic side of the board.

[robiskewl]

hmmmmm well you've puzzled me i dont know whatthe hel your talkin about

[Sk8r Dude]

god! its not tht hard to understand..
anyway i havent heard of tht trick and i have never really tried it cos i would of thought it would mess ur grip tape up but yeh it sounds good! if ya can do it that is

[airlightning]

if u want i can do some reserch about it:D

think about this: you're balancing on the tips of the nose and tail, with the griptape sliding against the object. that would be impossible to balance. its even hard not the slip while on a techdeck!

soooooo, its not a real SKATEboard trick, but maybe it is for a fingerboard. ive heard names like "dark 50-50", "double casper grind", and stuff, but its definately impossible to balance it on a skateboard

actaully you might be able to pull it off on a ledge...

like my easterbunny trick! you stand in the darkslide position but on flat ground and then flip the board around and land it. if you did this on slipperey pavement while moving fast, you would have to do half a kickflip and land in the darkslide position. and sice you were moving fast you would slide a bit. and if you can slide on flat groudn then you could wax a ledge up REALLY good, then do it on the ledge. only way to pull it off would be slide like 1 cm off of the very edge of the ledge. so techinacly it would be an easterbunny really close to the edge of a cncrete ledge....

Ok chainlink knows what I mean. You can slide it just it has to be waxed up alot. Its the same thing as a casper but its slideing on the tips (nose and tail) off your up side down board. I have seen people slide it just not very far at all. The trick is done on flat ground just like a casper.

i bet rodney mullen could pull it of. have u seen his casper slides...they are badass

[aronsamma]

oh, im not saying its impossible on the ground, im just saying as a slide (on a rail) that would be seriously impossible. the parts you're sliding on are ROUND, and you would slip. but yeah, you can do it on the ground

Im pretty sure it is a trick, a darkslide I believe

[mad man skate]

it aint a dark slide but it is like it. it id like how a dark slide is to a board slide this is to a 50-50. when u wer back as a beginner skater and u landed on an upside down board on ur kick flip attempts because u screwed up. the place i think u could do it in real life is on the verry edge of a metal table top box and ur grindin on a rounded edge or the verry top edge actualy on the table top like u would if u wanted to make a casper look like it is on the edge

[mad man skate]

u know i technichaly did the trick ur sayin as a stall on accadent and said it would be an awesome trick. i was doin a kf standin still and doin it off a tiny ledge and i actualy landed like that up side down and looked at what i did and tried again and could not do it.

I've never seen it done, and SLIDING. Even if you could slide it....you'd have to find a way to get out of it....so It's very doubtful. It's not a darkslide, not a casper...I don't think it's anything, until someone lands it...and has footage.

[Chekos]

Ok i think some already named hoiw you get out of it but what you do is you put pressure on the inside of the wheel and it should do a half flip ontO ITS RIGHT SIDE and you dont have to touch thre ground once.

[mad man skate]

i trided it as a stall and i p[ut a foot in the middle and broke the board

[mad man skate]

to get out u could do likie an old school kf off where u reach under the board kinda and u could even slide to a stop and land in a premo stall if u want it would be an aresome on a bank with out the premo but like a double old skool kf out

[Mrock]

Like I said, once I see vid of it being done..then I'll be like 'thats an inverted 50-50!' or whatever. Until then- its a dream.
