If i had a page,totally unsponcered, unflowed,there would still be certain products that i like ,for reasons of their function,and or design. I would mention them in a positive way and it would be a free plug and that should be ok with everybody,it would be nice if it fit into the thread of the conversation and things like telephone numbers and web site locations where the products can be found should probabely be left out,that'stuff is easy enough to research. If those same products are then rementioned by the people making them and plugged some more ,they're over my line.I think even if i then get sponcered by said people or even paid to use their products,the line is still in the same place. They should just put their ad on the side for 20 bucks,hmm maybe i will:)

Herbn,
You are right that this page should not be used for advertising. When educated, intelligent people do so, it worries me that they are doing so knowingly. The Vendors page is here for a reason. I do answer questions from time to time about the equipment I use. However, I always try to guide readers to the search function so that they can access all products in the group that they are interested in. I believe the reader should make their own decision regarding what products to buy.
Sincerely,
Cliff Coleman

even if they were paying you ,i don't suppose, this page could become a space for them to advertise.

Adam,
There have been a few recent posts on this page and a few others advertising "Gravity" products. Although the crew at Gravity and its owner Michael Bream are my friends, these posts should only appear on the "Vendor´s" page. Michael, please read and follow the guidelines for posting at "ncdsa".
For those that still are not aware, I am not sponsored by Gravity and haven't been since December of 2003. It would be unfair to allow a company to use my name to promote their products without compensation.
Sincerely,
Cliff Coleman

Charlie,
Good to hear from you. I am in Costa Rica at the moment. Congratulations on your recent wedding! I still race at the Worlds in slalom and am going to make the Downhill race at Danger Bay in BC this May. Other than that, I am running slide clinics all over the World and throughout the States. Give me a ring sometime at: 1 (510) 652 9653. We should get together, in the Bay area or up your way.
Cliff

you may be skating on the leftside of the road, but that doesn't make a move with a toeside turn ,frontside. To much pressure on the leading foot would unweight the back foot and the lack of traction would probabely cause thiongs to spin out of control.

Got a question on sliding.. was wondering, when doing a frontside slide when you lean forward and place both hands down I've been whipping round in a 180, is this because I'm putting to much pressure on my back foot?
On a coleman slide, which I have down, the back foot is on its side and all the weights forward so I thought thats the only difference.

Yo yo, how’s it going every body, its Alex at Faltown skateboards,
I hope you are all suitably recovered from Christmas and New Year and are feeling fine!
Myself, Chris, Mark and Tom are all coming over to San Francisco and Berkley hills to Hook up with Cliff on the 20th to Skate and film the last section of our DVD. We will be in San Francisco for the first week and Berkley Hills for the second.
We haven’t booked any were to stay yet but I think for the first week we will be in the Green Turtle Backpackers I think it is in Fisherman’s Wharf. When we land and find it I’ll post the phone number up for any one that wants to get in contact with us.
We would like to hook up for a slide/skate/film with as many people as possible so if you fancy it send me a post on our website or this one or phone the hostel when I post the number.
I hope to see some of you soon
Best wishes
Alex
P.S. Cliff we couldn’t change the flights but hunts us out when you get back from Costa. I’ll post loads of contact numbers on forum so it shouldn’t too hard-I hope!!

You can get plastic all kinds. Just look up your local orthotic and prosthetic shop and stop in with some questions fore the techs about plastic and the different kinds availabe. They toss out a bunch every day.

Can someone post some pics of a rider sliding off a curb or a wall at high speed in mid air? I'm going to try it myself but was wondering if anyone has had any injuries from trying this (Example: wrist injuries from landing too hard)
Thanks

hate to say it but, fast slides and really fast slides are about the same as slow slides. ACTUALLY , they are somewhat more predictable,at speed ,wheels generally dont try to re grip once you get them sliding, it's actually a bit more likely that your wheels will slide out,but if you stay calm and maybe put a second slider glove down, and lift your ass off the pavement quickly , not much damage should occur. I think it took me maybe three runs or so ,way back in the day to escalate the speeds i was sliding at to absurd levels(it felt crazy at the time) not that i had a ton of control right away, i may have used some pads the first few times, and definitely recommend them, i never had any relly severe road pizzas from downhill sliding.I remember thinking that it was soooo cool to longer have to have tight trucks to go fast, i just rode my trucks regular and did slides near the point of speed wobbles, then,later on i had bigger boards that i would use just for dh and i'd run those trucks even looser.

EVERYONE! Just got a new book that opens with an awesome chapter on the one-and-only Cliff-slider. Anyone that skates and can read need to get this one for sure, Scarred For Life; eleven stories about skateboarders by K.D.Hamm on cronicle books. Check it out, its cool!
Cliff hing ten for me in Costa BABY, wish I was going!
