Check Slide Instruction

One of my favourite little moves on a skateboard is the humble check slide (though I'm much better going frontside than back). This educative nugget on the fine art of sliding skateboards comes my way thanks to photographer Darren Burdell, a long-time skater and, it is rumoured, occasional pyromaniac (only when safe and legal).

I remember check sliding down Sennen hill to the beach, looking very cool. Got to the car park did a MJFox flick at the bottom and one of my wheels was the size of a 10p. Spent the rest of the week with a skateboard like Barney Rubble’s.
