Congrats, did you start doing em stationary or while moving. I’m struggling myself and I’ve heard doing em while moving is easier

Your background music reminds me of my first days of skating and watching your videos to learn some amazing stuff, some feelings that I forgotten about.

Another hack I discovered is taking your shoe off, placing your board gripside-down and rolling the sole of your foot on your wheel. This helps with muscle-recovery and loosens up the fascia on the underside of your foot. Like foam-rolling but for your feet.

Using a guitar rack for storage is freaking genius!

I wouldn't recommend getting a skateboard too warm (e.g. in the sun). I had issues with a permanently warped deck because of too much heat (left the board in a car for 2 hours). And the griptape-under-truck-tip works better when the sticky side of the grip tape is on the side of the truck. This way, the sharp side of the grip tape "digs" into the wood of the deck. But make sure the direction of the truck is okay before tightening the bolts. Professor Schmidt recommends putting something like a long ruler on the sides of both baseplates simulataneously to line up both trucks before tightening the bolts. The guitar rack is a perfect idea!!

You’ll get pressure cracks quicker if you heat the deck too much, too. It inspired me to try a butane torch to melt the grip into the deck along the nose and tail with a new deck. Never thought of that before, and it might not even work, but I’ll give it a shot. My grip always peels back around those areas on new boards.

@@Dodes6040 I found out that the grip won't peel off when I grind it down at the edge completely before I cut the grip. I rub it with a round iron object (the side of the shaft of a screwdriver) until is almost separates all by itself. Then it will stick and not peel.

I started skating 2 years ago and watched your videos, I could barely do an ollie, but now I can do halfcab heels, varian flips and now I'm even learning pressure flips. thank you so much you have been a big part of my skating career

Just landed my first ollie! So pumped to learn more

Congrats dude! [: how’s it goin now?

5:56 So we're just going to ignore how he extended the background music? That sounded so good

Game changer for me - bearing spacers. For only 2 dollars you get soooo much better feeling

Another good hack is putting a drop of speed cream in the pivot cup or soap shavings. When your trucks squeak, it's most likely the pivot cup.

Keep it up peeps. Don't get discouraged.

You need washers and bearing spacers if you want your bearings to last longer because they'll break down faster if you have the nut too loose. Also with these components, you'll be able to tighten your wheel almost fully while getting the most amount of speed out of jt

Will use these awesome hacks!!!

1:23 Indy bushings are notorious for this and I've blown them before doing exactly this : cranking them down before they're broken in. And sometimes they will even somewhat harden on their own.

Yeah I love your vid‘s and you made me inspired to ride a skateboard I’ve been doing great so far I’ve been learning how to pop shove it and kick flips and you inspire me so much

I’m a simple person… I wait for a VLskate video I see a VLskate video I watch the VLskate video I like the VLskate video I comment on the VLskate video Simple as that

you have the most oldschool youtube videos ive seen in a long time and i love them. very helpful and informative as well!

Awesome video! Thank you so muck for all the great tips!

I have waited, and waited VL

im really putting the effort into skating now and trying to learn tricks, your vids always help man

Love the guitar stand idea. Thanks!

the proper term for flipping your bolts like that is called "death bolts". It was for yes ollies but it was mainly for vert skaters to keep there feet on while doing "JT airs" now known as a bs ollie.

vlsakte vids are always a dub

Always nice to hear your voice 😎 calms me down

Been skating for two years now, learnt ollies, pop shoves and kickflips thanks your videos. I recently broke my ankle and can't skate... Probably not for a year... I'm not sure if you have any experience with this, but I would really appreciate some tips on how to get back into skating after an injury. Either way, thanks for what you do, your channel is always my first port of call when I want to learn a new trick.

guitar rack. amazing!!!!!!!!!!

Love the dog just chilling

Let’s get VLS over 1M subs please! The content is awesome, and recognition is well deserved!

I'd have to disagree with the "not tighten the nut all the way" the wobbly wheel makes a jet noise, and the sliding bearing is putting random stress on the hanger and the nut, it's better to use spacers and speedrings to properly tighten the nut

@nathanielnicholson559

YES! I was just recently explaining to someone how I don't see any reason NOT to run spacers, but lots of reason to use them. They add negligible weight and potentially preserve lots of life in bearings.

Brooo you help me soo much with grip tape. Like video all!

I watched your pop shuvit video and finally landed it ❤️❤️

I like the dog just chilling in the background

Your dog is so cute ☺️

1:55 I had this same problem with one of my boards but this fix seems a bit silly to me. Might work for a while but I'd recommend just buying some flat washers and putting them inbetween the screws and trucks. Haven't had a problem since

Lots of love broo

Nice video man!

Nice vans!

guitar rack is a great idea, I will buy one for my guitars AND skateboard

let’s go another one video ❤️

Nice one. I think the first video had more useful "hacks", but these were still good. 😁

Return of the best skating youtuber 😎

Thanks man

Thanks✌

He’s back

You help me skat I am still bad but you and your vids help me

i love your dog

Awesome

Wall mounted guitar hooks will also work, but obviously you can only hold one board on them. They will grab the truck hanger nicely and then whenever you go skate you just get it off the wall instead of having to bend down because that's just too much effort.

After pushing the bearing into my wheels I then tighten up the nut as much as I can to make sure the bearing are in the wheel straight, then I loosen it off 👍

Beautiful dog

I’ve been looking for a rack for over a year now and you instantly solved my problem and for cheap too! Just ordered what looks like that exact model. Fantastic!

not to early but still decently

If you don't want air bubbles, don't apply your griptape like he did. Either apply it from the center without letting it touch the rest of the board, or start at one end. Starting it flat like that, spanned across the tail and nose and then trying to press in into shape is quite literally asking for one massive air bubble

Nice

The dog is so cute

Let’s go you uploaded

Love your pit bull man. I got one just so she can come with me in skate sessions.

This dude is the Binging With Babish/Cocktail Chemistry of skateboarding

Take the wax paper from the grip and lay it over your new grip on your board and rub until it heats up

Thanks a lot man, great content ! Didn't understood well the bushing setting in... First ride them as they are and then tight them a little bit if needs be ?

dont leave a space between your bearings and the nut if you use your bearing spacers.

Hi. I’m new here and to skateboarding. How are those Vans to skate in?

Yo I just realized today that Tre flips are easier than I thought, but still don't have em down yet

You could do that to the truck or just use washer in the scews that help the truck but liying them between the scews and the board

He back

I got the same Zero Deck

Yo bro, what is the music you play at the beginning of all your vids?

I have that Sovrn deer deck

Honestly I just take the washers out my trucks and skate them ode loose af u break them in mad fast af plus I take out my old bushing and put them in my new trucks if they still got life

Yaayyyyyyyuyyyyyyuyfyrr de hervirme en A upload. :)

What is your guys’ background music? It sounds sick

Omg, I have that "your board doesn't roll straight" thing, I'm so tired to fix it every time, I didn't know why my hangers a little bit not straight

1:28 well that explains a lot

nice dog

It’s time to sweep bro, that’s a crunchy ass road

i love how how he literally never changed his voice tone eve on the parts he disliked,he sounds like he's saying "well that sucks for you"in the tone he talks

Wow I’ve never been kinda early

Just had my first ever big fall. I fractured one of my ribs and hurt my shoulder.

I have a question i want to buy a gadget that can save mij bearings when its raining that i kan put it on mij wheels does this exist?

Can you please make a full tutorial, for when the skateboard turns itself just like at 1:28 ?

3:08 I didn't know that my skate was just old, I thought it was special or something (Yes, I'm still new at skating)

yo

2:26 dog -doodoo time

I use mambo

Miss this kind of your content..

If you leave you board out in the sun you can end up with sun spots on the grip.

I’m 33, just started skating again after like 18 years off and I ate shit on a Ollie in this exact parking lot 3 weeks ago 😂

Ye

Bro your still posting I used to sub to you 4 years ago and your still post I did not know 🙂

Rotating your wheels seems like an obvious hack.. that I've never thought of lol

👌👌👌

Someone help me: I'm going from a fakie shuv to trying the pop shuv (riding normally) and I land it sometimes but the board keeps bouncing me off I've tried changing the foot position some tell me what to do

Put the grip adhesive side on the base of the truck. I think you did it the wrong way. Disregard if I just saw it wrong.

Not being funny but if you can't push a bearing in without having to use the truck, the bearing is the least of your issue.

Anyone have any tips on ollies?

I heard eating griptape
