  1. i was riding at the skatepark in montrose, colorado and i
    hit this downward sloped box that looks to be about 12 feet
    long (I will break out the measuring tape later)i was trying
    to make it down the whole thing for hours but kept losing my
    balence 3/4 of the way down. then someone waxed it and I
    made it the whole way. Has anyone tryed something this big?

  3. I'm not Mike, but here's my tip: Be careful on those stairs, ouch!

    For gliding, start on a driveway or other downhill
    locations. You can go from one-footing, or directly to the
    glide. It's easier to learn from the one-foot ride, even if
    your pedaling and gliding feet are the same ones.

    Learn to do it slow, this will teach you control. Learn to
    be light on the tire, to keep going on very shallow slopes.
    Those skills will help when you up the speed.

    Also you can use both feet. I often use the toe of the shoe
    that's on the frame as kind of a drag brake so the "control"
    foot doesn't have to press as hard.
