Edit: Huzah!

=UPDATE=
I completely changed the shading on the emote. It was way too lame and boring first, and it looked like something I might have made 2 years ago. Now it's more up to date.
/=UPDATE=/

So, here's my entry for this weeks EmoticonOpus, with the theme "Slide."

So, an explanation why this is my representation of a slide-emote?

Well, when you're grinding a rail with a skateboard, you're sliding along it, right? Well, that should be enough of an explanation really.

Then when I went to that Wikipedia page about sliding that the journal linked to, I found one of the deffinitions to be:

"Dark slide - a skateboarding trick."

Well, I'll tell you right away, I hadn't read that site untill after I got the idea for mine, so the "dark slide" didn't inspire the creation of this.

I was originally planning on adding a neat background to this, but then I descided to leave it out to conserve the simplicity of the emote.

I think it could look a whole lot better, and chances are high that I will work some more on this later, and possibly make a version with that background I was planning.

But it will probably take longer than this week to make this perfect, so I'll leave this up for the contest. I'll just have to hope that this version is good enough to stand a chance.
