I know this isn’t about longboard wheels but sliding is an integral part of longboarding, and anyone serious about longboarding needs to have slide gloves period. Slide gloves are necessary in order to properly stop at very high speeds when foot braking is not an option. Speedboarders commonly use Coleman slides or other variation of slides in order to come to a stop, and knowing how to stop IS a life or death matter. With that being said, having a good pair of slide gloves is a must. Now if you want to get into some sliding tricks you’re obviously going to need slide gloves for that as well. Not only are they good for helping you slide, they offer some decent hand and wrist protection should you fall and eat concrete. I personally have Lush V2 Slide gloves and they don’t protect the wrist so my watch takes the hits for me. So if you are absolutely hooked on longboarding, get a pair of these new Loaded Slide gloves. If you are strapped on cash, you can always search “how to make slide gloves” on google for tutorials online. Ride safe!

Haven’t made a post in a while but I’ll try to be more active providing content. Anyways, back to the title! Adam Colton signature Paris trucks! They are Paris 180′s with signature artwork done by Adam himself. Black and white abstract faces cover the hangar with a black base plate. They won’t cost you much more compared to normal Paris trucks, and you might get Adams super powers if you ride on them. Check them out on Loaded’s website. And for those of you who don’t know who Adam Colton is, you must not watch any of the videos on my blog lol. He is ridiculously awesome so check out the videos or his website, whoisadamcolton?
