Nice video!! Pretty fun to watch!! I have a "Slide" Surfskate, and the trucks are a little bit looser than Carver but still very responsive... Started a couple months ago, this is adictive!!

Love this video🤙 I just started learning how to turn in the bowl. This video was so helpful 🤣

Great edit Jon! enjoyed it.

Great review I was not convinced that the truck could easily do the drop on a pool but after your video I will try it for sure :- )

Sweet video, I’m going to buy a board now so when my kids are scootering at the local skatepark I can carve it up. 🤙 subscribed 🤙

Hey Jon, great Video, Thanks man. I also just started longboarding at age 50, and had so much fun (on a borrowed board) at the skatepark with my kids that I am going to get another board specifically for (learning to) carving the bowls at the park.

Haha. Love this video. Just turned 40 and got a yow surfskate about 10 months ago. Still get funny looks off all the grown ups walking dogs whilst I'm chasing my kids around the park on their scooters. brilliant fun like you say to just cruise around on. Think the yow trucks are a little looser than carver so a bit more responsive in the turn but harder to generate speed with. You got a really nice flow when you are riding your board. Great vid.

THE MISSING LINK between surf and skate! I love it! I’ve been making small improvements on drop-ins, grinds and slides, but have a long way to go and much to learn. What do you recommend for THE BEST surf skate wheel for slides, without giving up grip and stability? I have struggled on several types, until I got on a Bones reissue, 60mm/90a. However, have spun out on a few bowl speed runs and my hips weren’t happy! I keep looking for a 65-70mm wheel in the 90a plus range and have not found a lot to choose from. Any and all advice will be welcomed. Thank you in advance and keep rollin’!

Hi Jon, great vid as always! I started skating about a year ago on a Carver Triton Green Glass, and then moved on to a Carver Bel-Air type setup with 58mm 83B wheels for pool skating which has become my standard skate. More recently I tried a "proper" skateboard setup with Indy 159 trucks, but haven't quite got into it yet... feels like it resists going into turns, and not as fast. The strange thing, and the point of my question, does it take you half a session to re-adapt to riding your normal board after the carver, or can you just swap from on to the other, and is it helpful? Thanks for the stoke and the surf connection! /Andrew.

@JonBishopSkate

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Andrew I would say the Carver has been hugely helpful to my regular skating. I run my Indies super loose to emulate the carving abilities. One thing I forgot to say in the video is to be careful going from the Surf Skate to a standard skateboard in the same session. I have come a cropper as you get use to the super tight turns of the carver and trying the same turns on the regular setup will buck you off!! Going from a regular skateboard to the Carver is fine though. Loose trucks save lives lol !!

Definately subscribing

Awesome! Carver have C5 truck set that work brilliant in Bowls - pair up with the 58mm 90a wheels and you have a nice fast carving bowl rider. Surfskate gives you an amazing leg and cardio workout - I jump on mine after work when I can if I cant get out to the skatepark.

Again....Top notch 👌🙏 Have a search about, all the other marketing spray / slow mo etc and your reviews are always the best (in my view) Started on a cruiser in 2014 but 65/78 Flip wheels were maybe a bit too quick on transition 😅😅 I usually ride a standard 8.5 popsicle with 149 thunders and 56/86 Ricta clouds now which is great all round but getting the itch for a 32" Carver Triton or 32.5 Carver Black tip (more concave deck) My only slight fear is i can remember a guy had one at Kendal skatepark years ago, Powell Peralta deck and Carver CX trucks. He was doing vertical turns without kickturning 😱 I was bricking it just going down the flat bank as the front truck was so loose 😱 Will have to see, definitely a good idea when the skatepark still has a few puddles but the supermarket carpark is bone dry.

Yeah, you shouldn’t really be getting wheel bite from carving at any speed TBH?? I would stick some riser pads in to improve the deck clearance if it’s gonna be an issue ??

Oh, ok?? my Carver has tall trucks and risers so it’s impossible to get wheel bite even if you land heavy on one side? Which wheels are catching? Can you just tighten the trucks up a touch?

where is the skate park at 0:19 - 0:25 seconds? cool video!
