hey everyone..im headed down to OWC during the winter break so I was wondering about the sliders?

do you just ride up to them and go?ollie up to it?turn your board?

any input would be great, thanks

it really depends, there are a huge range of different types of sliders and kickers, if you have a pic of some of the ones you are going to try, i could help

c-boy, all of the rails have the option to just ride on, and for the most part it's a good idea for first timers. the lower boxes and flatbar can be ollied onto quite easily, but by no means should you ever approach a rail in some sort of butterslide-ish position. You will lose your teeth.

c-boy, i has a ramp, rest assured, but the ollie is super easy, espicially with the pull from the cable.

the ballers all ollie on, so thats how you should try to do it, but you wont get laughed off the course for just riding up
