I am wondering:
does anyone do any specific training for slalom skateboarding?
Do you run, lift weights, do push ups (not bras), swim, stretch or do follow any program that you think of gives you an advantage for your slalom skateboarding activities?
I run 5 miles once or twice a week and stretch every day. Besides that I skate vert once or twice a week, but thats all, if you don´t consider the beer drinking Vlad does a sports activity.
Anyone?
Training methods off the board?

Road biking will help for endurance.
... which will help you go faster on the mountain. Going downhill on a trail in mountain biking is all about looking ahead and using your body to get over/around obstacles.
At school I ride 4 days a week (road) at 20 miles + each ride. At home I ride every day, mileage varies on how I feel. As a result I have hardly any body fat!

Henry...I dont think you could get body fat if you ate nothing but MacDonalds every day. Oh...and calf raises are really good, especially for your back foot because thats where all of your power comes from. Grab some weight and stand on a step and go nuts. I think I need to work on my front leg now because my left calf is WAY bigger and more defined than my right. Guess I should learn to pump switch.
