Yer O'tang durians are good for sliding and stuff from personal experience but if your first learning i would go for something like, O'tang Stimulas, Zombie Hawgz, O'tang fat free's, but durians would be fine if you have them.

70mm wheels go better on a vendetta. You can run the trucks nice and loose, and if you use a cupped bottom washer, the truck stops turning when the wheel is about 2mm from the board. 75mm wheels would probably bite unless you like tighter trucks.

dude from what i understand and please someone correct me if im wrong but its bloody easy to get an evo to slide because of the lowered platform , hence when you push it sideways you get more sideways pressure as opposed to downward onto the trucks, feet over trucks= more traction , feet dropped lower aka 2 inch drop on an evo = less downward pressure , yeah they turn like a semi trailer but theyre f**king easy to slide on .

not uselss, sliding is possible on everyboard just on a evo is more difficult when its dry because you cant really get all your weight over the front truck. Although when the ground is wet, after rain, its extremely easy to slide on an evo with all your weight centered. My brother rides an evo with inheats and cant do a slide bigger then 10 degrees when its dry and falls off when it rains. Im sure people can do colemem and predrifts on evos? hence why they are used for downhill but technical dh i dont know.
