Rideblock might be cool for contest skating. It could help the judges be less Nijah biased. 😅

thank you so much for choosing us for your video. the english site will be up in early 2017.

Good to know! I'll check it out when it's up.

I would definitely use rideblock as I'm still in the process of refining the basic 6 tricks so I think that would help me (especially since I'm having huge trouble with popping the kickflip). They launched an indiegogo campaign. I think it might not be best for every possible trick, but nailing down the basics should be helpful and it's worth it just for that.

I'm excited, RideBlock actually just hit me up to test out their product so I'm going to get to see what it can actually do. I will let you know after I use it for a little how useful it is and see if the issues you mentioned are a problem or not

So how did that ride block thing do? I have not seen any of the dude's in any of Thresher's videos using them, haha. Personally I don't think skaters need any apps to tell them who has the highest score at the park, hahaha!!!!

I wear Servant Dragon shoes and they are extremely comfortable and the color ways are pretty cool. The only other vegan shoes which come close are the Emerica ones.

Your videos are so awesome it's great to see someone discuss skateboarding, you don't see it often. It's also nice to see skateboarding innovations given publicity and credit rather than potentially great ideas and products not being recognised

I didn’t know that Richie Jackson’s presence on shoe brand, made it legit.

Sheering force from crooked grinds...that now explains why my one of my last set busted while doing crooks (a set of RUSH, iirc, but that was after a long time of skating them).

When you said half the speed of sound I imagined some dude on a salt flat with a street board doing mach 1 and loled

I love your reviews, thanks bro!

I always feel that I have to add the correct information with all of your videos.... Kryptonics made ptex first that was the first slick decks in the late 70s.... It was super slick and did not wear off....

these tech videos and the historical videos are so good. best skate channel!

Rad Rat Video would love your thoughts on electric skateboards if you haven't addressed it. Do you think we will ever see adoption from regular street skaters? Let's say hypothetically if there was a single electric truck that made any regular deck an electric one, without weight or shape compromise. For me, I love pushing but just throwing an idea out there

Oust4lyfe! lol I've never used a better bearing, or seen one more suited for skateboarding! All this stuff is so cool and exciting. Great, great video, as usual.

right on. he is an individual. thats rare anymore

Just on 'slicks', at least the old version: my friend had the Jeremy Wray model 'It' slick deck ('It' as in Pennywise). The problem with slicks back then, at least as far as we were concerned, was that they were significantly heavier. So, great for boardslides, etc, but a real disadvantage for anything else. I remember I wanted that model so badly, and to see my friend by the 'slick' version of it was really disappointing to me (obviously, you can't be seen riding the same model as another member of your skate crew, right?). I never bought a slick. They were super heavy, back in the day. From memory, the J.W. model was 8-ply +slick coating. A really heavy deck.

the fingerboard grip style is used on pro snow skates so it probably would work pretty good on a normal board. But, like you said it would more than likely chip much easier. The grip on my snowskate is curled off in some parts but, ive had friends use boots on the board which could also be the cause of the chipping and curling.

Boyd Hill's uva foam snowskate grip is 1cm thick works very very well with Vans MTE reverse waffle souls. Bi-level snowskates are designed for snowboard park terrain and mountains - big transition type skating jumps and rails and even some powder.

To clear things up a little: While the ABEC scale is pretty irrelevant when it comes to skating, it doesn't just messure the roundness of the bearing balls but rather acts as an industry standard for any given bearings tolerance.

I ised to ride powell mini logos witj sst (super slick technology.) They would slide so fast on board, nose and tail slides. It took some getting used to or you would slip out because they were quick.

Speaking of Richie Jackson can you do a series on newer skaters like him akin to Retro Rippers?

More Skate tech videos please!

Good video i enjoyed

can you make a video about bronson bearings? alot of skaters say that they are the best .

Nice video! For the stripped/smashed axles, many skate tools have a re-threader piece built in (the Reflex tool is the best). Also, what program did you use to do the intro animation? It looks great!

@RadRatVideo

Yeah, that's probably a much better option than getting special trucks with an extra, breakable part. Thanks dude! I made it with Adobe Animate and After Effects.

I used to know people that had bigger, softer wheels they would use to cruise to a skate spot then put on smaller harder wheels when they got to the spot. Only takes a minute to switch wheels though anyway. Don't need weird trucks for it.

I liked for the time codes.

Powell slicks weren't coated they had a plastic layer that was thick and heavy. They fazed out because of the weight. I skated a powell slick for a year on the worst ledges possible. Wheel bite wasn't bad on them either but the extra weight would wear you out half way through a session.

Quality content as always. How much of a script do you write and how much of it is off the cuff? Does it vary from video to video?

make another one of these videos...hell make it a mini series lol or like a 5 pt series

could you talk about seismic bearings as well?

we need a new 2022 one of these!

not so new but vans duracap is an overlooked feature that helps a lot

I'd like to know about the pricing of rideblock. I image it beeing pricey over the benefits you get...

Oust bearings are bloody good.. just hard to get in nz

I can go up to 35 mph on a hill. I have loose trucks and soft bushings. I used a speedometer app on my phone to tell me how fast i was. I've compared the app to my cars speedometer and it's really accurate.

@TheDanielMoose

3 жыл бұрын

GPS trackers are only accurate at higher speeds but doing 3 tests and getting an average can give a better estimate so people know if a hill is worth bombing

I don't know about that app. I don't wanna know how fast and high and how many tries. Just film and check out what looks best imo.

Dude, I don't understand how the RideBlock works, but my first question would be: how does it know where the pressure for any given trick came from? So, how could it differentiate between a pressure flip, and a really low-pop flip of the same order. How could it differentiate between a late flip and a similar trick that used the same rotation and flips? My instinct tells me that it cannot. It couldn't know if I popped a massive ollie and then used my front foot to perform a kick flip, or if I used my back foot to lateflip the board into a kickflip rotation. I don't know anything about it, but without video footage, it would be impossible to distinguish, if the data solely relies on board rotation and the kenetic force data it acquires. (I'm probably wrong about all of this, but Rad Rat did ask for comments and opinions, so hey... shoot me).

With the Ride Block, if no one was around you could just spin it however, jump and do some bullshit, just use your hands like a giant handboard and get credit for all these amazing tricks, or does it somehow know? Also if it has any sorta GPS technology itd make it awful easy for cops to locate you out street skating

The Ride Block will be useless, it's just another product riding the wave of useless and needless bluetooth devices that pair with an app. For everyone one useful bluetooth/app device, there's 1,000 ridiculous ones. There's no objective number that will ever tell you how good you're skateboarding, the one thing this might be useful for is fine tuning your foot positioning for maximum pop or highest ollie, but even then who knows if the data is accurate since I'm sure it's all accelerometer based and I doubt you can consistently identify height to the inch with that method, especially with a board that's rotating and pivoting.
