I was just curious to know why alot of pro women dont do sliders? Is there a good way to learn to ride them?i have never done one myself, if u got any good advice for girls who wanna try them let me know....

the only good way is to hit em. like anything it all comes with practice. Your in orlando... I was just at the Projeks yesterday where I actually met scott Byerly and we were sitting there while some girl was getting lesson on the sliders... she was doing really well. You just have to get out there and do it. I would maybe recommend going to the projeks and getting a lesson or two or simply go to OWC and go on the slider side and start by hitting the table top and work your way threw the sliders... when you hit them id say make sure you carving towards them, not a full out cut but just to give you a bit of momentum..... besides that practice practice practice...

I think it is just because they don't have 'balls' on sliders. More scard.

Does anyone have any clips of women hitting sliders?

WyLd_ChiLd, On Wakepics, on the top rated videos on the side, there used to be a video of a girl who rips hard, and she was doing sliders. It might still be there.
