Quick tip: Use gravity to your advantage, while gluing, work with the board in a vertical position so that way the glue can down the further gaps of wood inside the board.

"my parents made me skate the same deck for a year" that's so beta, dude. If you wanted another deck maybe you should got a job. 😜

I'm still riding the same deck since '94. Sure, it's wrapped in duck tape with PVC pipe splints, held together with a gallon and half of wood glue, fiberglass patches, band-aids, and rock hard bubble gum, plus one Boy Scout pine wood derby car wheel, but I can still tre-flip for days with it. Come to think of I'm not even sure there is any wood left. I'll post a picture.

*TIP:* If you have trouble getting the glue between the plies or want to do a more thorough job, before you start putting glue on, get a cup and mix some glue and water together until it's as fluid as water but still white from the glue. Get a brush, sponge, (or your finger) and apply it to delaminating edge. You'll notice the wood will suck in the glue/water because of how fluid it is. If it doesn't, you've put too much glue in the mix. Apply this mixture twice to let the glue/water really get absorbed into the wood, then get your normal glue and continue as stated in the video for the more obvious splits.

wow this actually helped my razer tail i thought sanding the tail would make it so much shorter but i guess not thank you!

Thank you so much! Just bought a deck 2 weeks ago and everytime I choke a tre flip the side of my deck kept on hitting the floor so by two weeks I already had a chip on right corner of my deck so I watched ur video bought the glue clamps sand paper and the wood filler and my deck is as good as new :)

This might help here. When repairing guitars I use a large syringe with a large bore needle that is filled with wood glue. Doing this allows you to get the glue to get deep into the crack and allow a much stronger and permanent fix.

+Arno Theadorno Well, I bought a board three days ago, the company is Good Wood and they are suppose to have boards that really resist delamination due to gluing the board together by cold press instead of hot press like most other brands do. After three days and only dropping the board 4 times on the nose, it is starting to delaminate and its just a waste of money at this point, Im sure its just a defect. But I did contact the company to see if we can arrange. Yeah if you are slamming your board hard against the floor and and kickfliping a 5 stair they wont accept a return or change XD.

Euan Chester I did. Worked great. Why is that dumb? I but wheels that were white with pink graphics can I paint it over with grey. Looks great.

Absolutely. If the tail gets too thin it can flex as you put pressure on it when it touches the ground. This reduces the "pop" because the tail is not rigid enough to rebound/pop off the ground to create the lift you want.

We are going to make more videos. We are currently working on other things. If you have any questions, you can leave a comment or send us a message. We will get back to you asap.

I'll answer my own question - it definitely does! Noticeable difference after I sanded the razortail back with a belt sander, and huge difference when I replaced the griptape too! Awesome tips, hopefully will get another month out of this deck :)

This helped a lot, Me and my older brother did this to his board and the results were great! Thanks (:

Local shops are the heart and soul of the industry. It's what drives the skate economy. These shops are what made skateboarding available to everyone before it became mainstream and before the advent of the internet. These are the shops that care about skating and they take care of you. Corporate stores like Zumiez and Tillies care about one thing...Money! Skateshops care about the community, skateparks, and your passion for skating.

i currently have no skateboard issues..i just like to watch your videos..i cant wait for more

Great video instruction! Nice tip with the grip tape paper. Was looking for info to partially restore a vintage deck.

I REALLY HOPE SO. Your videos help me a lot. You're really good at explaining what and how to do things. Please keep them coming.

We will have more in the near future. We've been working on other projects.

Thank you for the nice comment.

We will. This Summer we plan to release new videos. We have been really busy with a different project for skate shops.

Please can you make more videos this is the only channel thats clear and really easy to follow !

Few options here. You can continue to ride the board backwards. If it feels good, do it. There are some companies that have come out with older shapes from the late 80's/early 90's where the deck is a little wider and the tail and nose are a little bigger. Can't think of a brand. A lot of the pop has to do with the distance from the tip of the tail to the ground. If you have small wheels you won't get higher pop. You can also try riser pads too. This can give you the feel of a big steep tail.

The next video we will post will be on bushings. Most of it has already been filmed. It won't be posted for a while though. It will be good and blow peoples minds.

We've been busy with another project. We are trying to set some time up to release more videos later this Summer.

Thank you, i've been swapping decks monthly because i skate a lot of street and winter makes it even faster. Now i can save money.

Ha, we are getting to that. We are going to be posting charts/tables that feature test results for top brands on the Rat Vision site. Very similar to Consumer Reports magazine.

great! im so glad you guys are making videos more often!

Hey Awesome! Glad this video worked out for you.

We will have more after we launch our new website. I'm dying to make more, so there will be more.

awesome videos. you should make some videos on how to repaint skateboards from sanding down the old design to choosing the right paint and etc. it'll be really helpful :3 keep up the awesome job

Watch the video we did about the differences between bearings, such as ABEC ratings, Swiss and ceramic. There is also a good video we did about spacers.

As I've said before, I really enjoi these videos. If you ever get around to making more, perhaps a tutorial on applying rails and skid plates to the deck would come in handy (I am currently unsure how to pick out skid plates for a freestyle deck). How about low trucks vs high trucks, freestyle wheels vs street wheels vs filmer wheels, or a fun video on what to do with decks you no longer use (turn them into cruisers, build furniture with them, etc.). This channel is great!

Nope, alive and well. We are hoping to post more video later this summer. We have been working on another project, so we put videos on hold for quite some time. We still answer comments and messages every day. If you have any questions we'll answer them.

THIS VIDEO IS PERFECT!! THIS IS THE SECOND BEST TIP IN SKATEBOARDING!!

This tip is the best of all your videos! Thanks a lot!

thank you for posting this, my deck is starting to razor tail and has a couple small chips.

I'm relatively new to skating so I REALLY take good care of my board. I did exactly what you did but with variations. I rinsed them in water, blow-dried each one thoroughly, cleaned it with the orange cleaner(I did each bearing separately because I didn't make that shaker bottle thing), lubed them with Bones Speed Cream, and they still go bad pretty fast.

Yes we will. Is there anything you'd like to see?

Thank you sir for this good lesson and now I am subscribing this channel!!

you have the most helpful videos on youtube!

Appreciate that you reply to most comments

Ha ha thanks. Thank you for the comments. We are going to be making videos soon. All skateboards can have bearing spacers. However, bearing spacers don't always work. We recommend Oust bearings. And truck will grind. The best products are the ones that work best for you. No one needs the best if they aren't really good at skateboarding. You don't need the best bearings if you aren't doing big tricks or going fast downhill. Ask us any questions thru our channel in a private message.

A split like that is usually caused by your board getting wet at one point. There isn't much you can do. You can add some wood glue to help it from getting worse or separating from the other plies.

Wow this channel is really really helpful, like seriously helpful

Thanks we are about to in the near future. Been busy with other stuff.

thanks so much for these tips.I haven't needed to use them yet but I'll know they'll come in handy. :)

We will have videos on bushings and trucks, and more on wheels.

YES. In the near future. Thank you for the very nice comment.

We plan on making that video soon.

My decks have to last me about 5-6 months and this video helped alot thankyou!

I just did this with my 22 year old deck. Just got back into skating and I can't afford to get a new board just yet. Thanks for all the great tips!

YES! Glue will soak through regular paper and possibly glue the clamping call to your deck!

WELCOME BACK!!!!

These videos are gonna save me hundreds of dollars!

Love your vids PLEASE KEEP MAKING THEM!! I was wondering can you do toutorials on tricks???

we will be trying to release new videos this summer.

Depends on how loose you like your trucks. You probably only need 1/8" inch risers, but for loose trucks maybe 1/4" inch riser. At 62mm, it's really up to how you like your trucks.

We have been working hard on another project. We hope to post more videos this summer.

Not sure if you got a reply, but when you are not standing on your board it may look like one wheel is not touching the ground. This is completely normal. When you put your body weight on the board it levels everything. Its just from the bushings making the truck hanger stick to one side. It's nothing to worry about at all.

Nice video series guys. Damn...,it has been a while since I've seen common sense like these. Keep it up!

That's amazing, with my last board I just used some wood glue and a clamp. I don't have a lot of sand paper around the house so I never really thought about it, but if the same thing happens to my board I have now then I try it out, Thanks a lot bud.

You can try what we show in the video, or buy a new deck. Decks are disposable. Once you use it and abuse it there is no turning back.

Yes street trucks can work. There are just a couple issues. The geometry with longboard trucks is better for turning and stability. Wider trucks are also better for ongboards.

What do you want to know? Of course we will do a video about durometer.

That's incredible.

You could sand it like we did in the video. This will make the nose more rigid and keep it from chipping or cracking.

We will have more in the near future.

Sounds like it just needs to be tightened to stay on. If you don't want the trucks to be stiffer switch to softer bushings so you get the same feel, but you can tighten the nut farther down the kingpin bolt.

It definitely could be the wheels depending on the surface you are skating on. If you are riding on rough road then really hard wheels will slow you down. The size of the wheels will also effect how much speed you get. Get softer wheels, and maybe bigger wheels too.

Yes. Take a look at our video for fixing a chip.

your videos have helped me alot thanks man :)

Yeah. Things got delayed. We are about to launch a new website any day now, and once that is up we will start working on new videos.

Cool. Let us know how it turns out.

Hey Skateboardtech, Great Vids! U just got a new subscriber!

What trucks do you have? Is the hanger pivot smooth? Are your trucks really loose or really tight?
