Great cross training for surfing

Hay Guys I'm new to this forum but it looks great I've lived and surfed down here for 5 years now and didnt relise that their was such a strong e-community here.

I'm a keen longboard skateboarder-I got into it because I found it to be an excelent cross trainner for surfing and snowboarding-but now I have recently discuverd a hole new side to it! Its called Sliding you use gloves so you can put your hands on the floor and skid the skateboard round into a slide-if you use real hard wheels you can slide for ages. Ive found this to have massively improved my surfing espeshaly big moves off the lips. I realy would recomend it to any one that likes skateing hills and too any one that wants to improve their surfing.

I found this website that has a slide skool on it and it shows you how you can pull some of the tricks-well worth checking it out-even just to view some of the downloads-CRAZEY!

Check it out- http://www.faltownskateboards.com/fa...slideskool.asp

Yea - they did a really cool press bit on these guys - quite a small outfit from college or somthin, but I hear that the style of riding is really taking off in the states too!

Best of luck to them.
