Choosing a Tech Sliding Deck

A lot of people believe tech sliding is slowly dying but I see it getting more and more popular! Choosing a tech slide deck is not very difficult and this little article will give you a basic outlook on what decks are available.

Technically, you can tech slide any deck if you slap on some hard wheels like Earthwing Slide A's. Slapping some hard wheels on the supermodel or demonseed would sure be fun but it would be tougher to do all those dizzy spins and such.

Most people prefer tech sliding on double kicked boards so you can do all those manual slides and blunt slides. A lot of street skaters I know just use their worn out popsicle decks for tech slide seshs which works perfectly.

There are a bunch of different sizes of tech sliding decks you can choose depending on your style/needs. Comet's Shred decks come in 32", 35", and 38". Choose the right size depending on your size and what you like. The Rayne Renegade is also a very high quality built board you can use to tech slide with. The Landyachtz 2012 lineup also has a couple tech sliding decks which look nice.
