[[universaltech:dashing|Ground dashes]] are eligible to be cancelled into a [[universaltech:sliding|slide]]. When this is performed, it is called a Dash Slide. 

Dash Sliding costs one bar of [[universaltech:stamina]].

Dash Sliding is useful for multiple reasons: 
  * Dash Sliding allows you to travel more distance than a regular dash
  * Dash Sliding puts you into the slide state. 
  * It only consumes one bar of stamina, which can be preferable to a [[universaltech:dashjumping|Dash Jump]].

Dash Sliding for the full duration is not advisable; sliding for the full duration will cause you to eventually move at a speed slower than [[universaltech:walking/sprinting|walking]]; instead, cancel the slide roughly when the Dash Jump circle turns blue. 

To Dash Slide, simply dash, then while still in the dash animation, hold the duck key to slide.
