    continued glidding?

  2. I saw Yogi in one of the Koxx vids glide down a drop about the hight of
    two stairs, but that's the highest I've seen.

  3. I have down it down curbs, but that's it. It starts to become too out of
    control when the drop is higher than 15 cm or so. It would probably be
    easier and less painful to do standup gliding, but I wouldn't know.

    You sure you don't have them backwards?

    Coasting is the one where your feet aren't touching the tire at all.
    Gliding is a level 8 skill and coasting is a level 10.

  7. coasting is a little harder than gliding id say... so you should learn
    how to glide. Its alot of fun. I havent done it off a curb but im
    sure i could eventually if i find a good one.
    EDIT: yeah what he said

    I find coasting easier, I can't glide at all but when I was practicing
    coasting last I was getting almost 15 feet on an egg shaped wheel.
