Mad scientist. How many in the comments don't know this guy is a legend? I'm 51 and Professor Schmitt has been doing this since before my earliest skate memories.

Its crazy to think about the board in a mathematical way but it really does make a difference when you dial it in for your needs, creature deck 8.375, thunder trucks 8.0 width, bones stf v1 52mm wheels, bones soft bushings, just lock in so many tricks for me

I used to measure same way and overthink a ton.. It seems much easier to take ya setup and tap your tail or nose down an THEN measure the angle in the midpoint of the board. That’s where the pop starts and it does not trick my brain. That tells me right away how scoopable or earlyflickable the setup is - together with trucks and wheels, endgame!

And then there's Penny in timberlands flipping down an 11 stair with a crappy powell board.. 🍄

Flip board, surely?

I'm digging everything he says about finding what works for you, but if you don't ride antihero Eagle 8.5s with Indy 159s and Powell Dragons you got no steez

I have Eagle Antihero 9" and Ace 55 Classics wich are 9" too. Can't flip right because of wheelbase is over 15. I'm gonna buy some egg board from Heroin Skateboards. 9.5" or 9.75" those have 14.25" wheelbase so it's gonna be much better. That Antihero is perfect on mini rampant etc. but hard when trying to flip it..

@@jaredadams5748 only $60 where you live!? I'm in Canada where everything from skate Mafia to anti-hero to Baker Costs $120/deck!

Pop the tail and slide your right or left foot depending on stance and will go up just make sure to have grip tape on 😅.

C-rob stressing how the age gap affects the attention span of his audience 💀

i don't have an iphone, but this is the content everyone needs! Thank you!

Im almost always w Chris, I know a decent amount about geometry and everytime I see this guy he leaves me with more questions than answers about my board! Like I thgt I knew but maybe I dont... I love that someone is tackling the subject, but when he acts like he has found these great ways or standards but then after all this messy measuring theres no point to it at the end... Maybe its just me, but I always feel like Chris feels like I do haha!

If heat is bad for your skateboard, Black Griptape is the worst color for when your board is in the direct sunlight. Griptape companies are plotting against us. Light colored grip only for me now.😆

It is not enough to ruin our shoes, they also want to mess up our boards.

Big grip has gotten us all

I skate mini logo and they are 18 degrees. I wish all brands advertised the angle. Mellow boards work best for me.

Anyone else still not sure what exactly to be measuring for?

some say were still standing there waiting for the android version to come out to this very day.

Does the app account for the curvature of the earth?

By 7:13, I'm just laughing at this fake scientist, basically a white cape car mech, this is hilarious

He is as good of a skateboard maker as Biden is a great talker and debater

Even at the end of his point there wasn’t any point 😂😂

2 points -There is app on android you can download to do this -How you do this personally is based on the setup your use too, then take all the necessary setup info. Then lets say you change boards to different wheelbase, do the measurements again from there you can adjust how you can skate

I’m guessing the iPhone measurement app lacks tenths of a degree because it’s not that precise. I’ve compared it to a bubble level in the past, and the iPhone always seems a bit iffy.

His child-like curiosity and enthusiasm is infectious.

Yep android has 0.0 xd

someone would have to pay me to use an iphone...and also if you didn't realize there's a difference in the angle on your nose an tail despite them being the same 'size' then that's on you playboi

Is this guy married ?

hes saying alot but not actually answering the questions
