Watch cartoons!

Or try doing it yourself and see how your body moves!

Hi Beast,

Glad it helped. If you want a side view of it, I'll do you a render and mail it to you.
Look forward to seeing your 'slide'.

Cheers

Jon

Hiya 3dbeast,
I was thinking about the scene in monsters, inc, where sulley and mike are rushing to get to the door. Sulley slides on the floor (even more in the out-takes :p ). Only thing is, it isn't a sliding stop, as he keeps on running! May give you an idea though!
