i am kinda new to long boarding well for Christmas i really wanted this long board but i didn't know didley so i just wanted a good board and my mom got me this 67"in bamboo sector nine board complete standard and i am thinking wow...so its freezing outside but i don't care and i go outside half naked and long board for like 3 hour going up and down my drive way just carving. well i couldn't feel any parts of my body and some i didn't think existed and i got a cold which in turned sucked. but thats where the trouble began i took some of my ole glove and shredded them to where if i use them i have to use both of them on one hand and i live on the biggest hell around but it got like crazy driver so i cant ride on them i have watched the trick tips and i can dance on the board...second thought i cant do that earthier very well i can slide...and then fall on my face. but its all good cause this is the sport i love. so this is where it all started i want to get some new gear but well i am 15 and i worked my butt off in school to get my grades up to where i could get a workers permit but i have to be 15 and a half so i am stuck for like 6 months with no source of money AND ITS SUMMER. so i am practicing on my drive way for like ever and i cant get enough speed to do any slides which i want to do. so which bring me to my question(sorry for this whole explain my story thing) can you guys help me out here i am not asking to send me like free stuff but give me some help here please.

Make some gloves if you wanna slide here's a site on how to make gloves except I don't attatch it using screws and a piece of wood I use industrial velcro plus a little extra glue users.pandora.be/Toothless/Toothless/pages/gloves/gloves.htmlnow you just gotta find a halfway decent slope that's not heavily driven on and slide it up man |

dude no offense, but its really hard to understand what you are saying when you dont use punctuation. i would say practice, practice, and practice some more, you dont need new stuff to be a good longboarder.
