I am currently riding a stock board from local skate shop called Hot Wax. The first trick I want to learn is to manual

You in Pennsylvania? Does that shop have anything to do with Chris Cole?

Hey Dan sick video! AFAIK They're called rails because in surfing the edge of your board is commonly referred to as the rails. For the same reason in snowboarding the terms boardslide and railslide are essentiall interchangeable! I've been riding a Santa Cruz Roskopp reissue board this season and I love it! Shaped decks have so much personality and their lines are so nice looking. I'm also much more of an 80s street-style (aka "old school") skater so these boards all really let me lean into that style. Enjoy Italy! I'm off to Trieste and Venice next weekend for two weeks and you know I'll have my board with me. Great stuff dude!

Currently riding a long board looking to start doing tricks on an old school board, your video inspired me to take it to the next step. Maybe I’ll re watch your vid and try my luck with the no comply first 🤟🏼

Riding an old primitive 8.25 board I’ve been looking into getting a nice cruiser board sick video man thanks for all the tips!

I'm currently riding just a regular popsicle 8.5. but I've been really interested in shapes and curious about them. The first trick I want to learn is the no-comply I really want to learn that trick for a while.

I currently skate a Arbor Pistola complete which I love, didn't have to change anything on it, it rides great straight out of the box. Also just put together an old Variflex Eric Grisham deck I've had since the 80's. I've set it up with 78a. 60mm wheels to make it the perfect pump track board. 😎

I love shaped decks. Used to be the only things I’d get! So steeze and perfect for skating bowl or barriers. Right now I’m riding an 8.8 popsicle stick Santa Cruz VX with 77 Ace trucks, the Bones Formula X97 in 56mm with my Forever Redd Pro Swiss bearings! I be zooming and hitting crusty gaps big time.

My main go-to set up is a Heroin Curb Crusher XXL with indy 215s n 64mm dragons. I've got a bowl setup too, which is a Winkowski Volcano with 9" tensors n 60mm Winkowski slimeballs.

Another good point about adding rails is that is does save your graphics! I remember going to a local shop in my early days (I was riding Hook-Ups decks at the time) and I was concerned about the graphic getting scratched up and the folks recommended to get some rails in that case.

Currently primarily riding a YOW _Snappers_ surfskate deck which pretty much amounts to a 32,5" oldschool shape with a longer wheelbase of 17". To augment public transportation I'm riding an MPI _ultra-oldschool_ mini cruiser/slalom deck made in 1970, from a batch which appearently got stored in a shipping container somewhere in Arizona back then just to get forgotten about and rediscovered decades later. Thanks to the desert climate the decks remained as fresh as on day one and eventually a number of them made it to a skateshop in my home city - it's so crazy to imagine this board was already oldschool when the Z-Boys first hit transition! I took the opportunity to purchase two, one to skate and one for my wall.

Currently riding a smoothstar surfskate. At first I would learn a sal flip. Thanks a lot for great content!

Great video. I'm learning to skate on Madrid Old school reissue 😃

currently riding a Santa Cruz old school shaped board. definitely trying to get another shaped board, prefer them over the popsicle shapes honestly

Yoo Dan, OMG you are in Italy!! Glad to see you in my home country bro! I lived and grew up half of my life in North Italy, the other half here in London! You'll love the food there, enjoy the real authentic 'carbonara' made with 'guanciale' in Rome! Talking about old school board, last time I visited my mum in Italy I found my own very first skateboard in dad's tool shed, a Santa Cruz Rob Roskopp the one with the target eye, I believe it was 1990 or 1991 when I bought it, I was 13 or 14 at that time!!! Yes I'm an OG!! lol Even after more than 30 years in the shed, the deck was still alright tbh, I was shocked when I saw the trucks' base were made in plastic, yes really! but the hangers were aluminium!! The bushings obviously were all crumbled so I decided to restore it! I removed the old grip that kinda melted with the board but I managed to remove it and sand it clean it. Also the trucks and board had the old school holes so I had to get new trucks with both old-school holes for it. But I didn't get normal skateboard trucks for this restoration project, I decided to get some 'Mindless Talisman II Cruiser Longboard/Skateboard Trucks' as I already have a standard modern popsicle shape skateboard in London with indy trucks. And I wanted to try my old-school Santa Cruz deck as just a surfskate/cruiser board as like you said the board shape is much wider (more than 9.60" and made for cruising! I still haven't mounted the surfskate trucks I ordered for it, I believe I will have to mount them with the kingpins facing outwards for that, I still haven't finished the restoration project as my old deck is still in Italy but when I do I'll send you a pic of it on IG if u like! 😄 My current setup is a Powell Peralta Levon Biss Wasp 8 inch deck with Independent Stage 11 Mason Silva 139's with PP Dragon Formula wheels 56mm, and I love my current set-up so much rn tbh! Enjoy Italy bro! Peace and Love ❤️ There are no strangers here, only friends that you haven't met yet! Be lucky 🍀 bro 😀 Btw I absolutely love the Poler Camp Vibes t-shirt you are rockin! CIAO!!!!

Zoo york 7.5, ricta cloud wheels, bones reds bearings. Pop shuvit, great content, easy to follow advice.

Great vid as always. Currently got a revive deck and I hate it! Being an old school (old) skater I'm not used to aggressive concave and I can't get on with it at all. First trick I'd try to learn on 1 of those would be a boardslide down the flat rail at leiston 😉 also need to ask you something about escapism, I'll message you on FB 😘

I love the Gonz specials he designs. Nothing can come close.

I’m riding a Powel Perelta deck with independent trucks, reds bearings, and spite fire wheels.

Just started riding an OG Gonz Reissue, haven't skated since 1992 but I'm going to give it another try 👊

Rails also protect your board from wear and tear of concrete/tile copings. I’ve been going back to skateboarding, but after 12 years of break my balance ain’t too good and having size 13-14 feet I think wide cruiser board might be a better starting point than 7.5 techy street board I used to ride back in 2000.

Hey Dan, nice Video as always👌🏼like your advice and how to videos, just startet skating again at 35. currently riding a 8.38 egg board from Heroin, first trick was an ollie and just learned how to pop shuv yesterday🙌🏼

@@secondchanceskateshop Heroin Mini Egg;) but switched to a 9.25 Egg now. Figured it out the Mini Egg was to short for me.

I have a quiver of shaped boards and Popsicles. Last weekend I picked up a heroin 10.25 inch Curb Stomper with 225mm stage 11 indy trucks and OJ wheels, rides like a dream at the skatepark. I also have a 9.125 tactics board it's shaped but looks very similar to a popsicle, just more comfy to ride, on 185mm indy stage 11 tricks and spitfire 93a wheels, it rides like a popsicle flip board but also a cruiser at the same time and is perfect for skatepark, for the road I have a santa cruise cruiser, santa cruz pintail 33inch and a 44 inch no name longboard

Love the vids, Polar 8.5 Aaron harington. And my first trick would be an ollie, still trying to learn that😊

glad to see you love her as much as i did tho it being that short is the main reason i had to hand her off to the pro

The Krooked Ray Barbee has an awesome shape for skating anywhere

Great video, I can see the benefits you mention. But how is the shorter board for transition skating?

Transition boards in the 80's were usually 30" long. Some were as short as 29".

Iam riding an reissue old shool ripper 10x31 from Powell peralta with new dragon formula gbones in green everything like I had in my good old days and Powell ripsticks aswell for sure,but with carver trucks....so definitely need one with normal trucks 😁🤙 Oldshool boards best colours and shapes of all time ❤

Im riding a Powel Spencer Seimen Pro flight deck and my first trick on the Heroine deck would be a no comply variation.

I started on that shape and got a popsicle now. I miss my old Cab deck.

Hi Dan I’m riding a 8.13” Toy machine monster pop sickle deck with new Andy Anderson nano wheels. I’m trying to add speed to a boneless but is proving really hard!😮

Just got a 8 inch stock skateboard not a longboard as their too big and heavy but it came with wrong wheels so I got some 60mm wheels as the footpaths and roads are terrible to skate on I’m not really too bothered about doing tricks apart from riding up ramps and that so looking forward for those arriving tomorrow

8.5 shop deck from Virginia Beach USA, first thing I’d learn would fs be fakie be big spin

I’m riding a Revive popsicle 8.5 deck with element trucks/wheels and reds bearings. I recently got into skating and the first trick I’d try to learn on that board would be a no comply impossible….that is if I don’t learn it on my current board 😂

Thanks for the vid! Currently got a golden 8" DGK deck and it's nice but far too long for little Asian girl me. Every no comply trick I've ever tried to learn I ended up ditching, because the deck would smash into me so much the leg was purple for weeks. If/when I ever get a shorter deck I would love to master the strawberry milkshake or no comply impossible.

Hosoi-Picasso 89' Santa Cruz reissue. Set it up like a totally rad cruiser. Tracker Losi trucks 161mm Bones Reds, Globe conical wheels 62mm 78a, 1/2" Psycho soft risers. The only thing I considered doing differently was extending the wb from 15.5" to 17" What trick? That steep, tight 8 level parking garage. Top to bottom with a slide around a few of those corners.

I was in my late teens when kick nosed skateboards like you're riding, became a thing. Before that, most skateboards had a flat nose about 2 or 3 inches long. My favourite board back in those days was the Powell Peralta Caballero bats and bones mini (and I forgot how much of a mouth full that was).

I just foy a heroin mini eyeballer deck last month. Love it!!!

What kind of trucks and wheels are you running? I want to set up this exact deck, but it’s really hard to do because I don’t know what to buy.

Wow what a blast from my past this shape board is. I got my 1st one in 1989 Was a cheap nasty piece of crap with plastic trucks and plastic wheels 😂 I swapped out the wheels for my sisters rollerskate rubber ones, then snapped the trucks doing ollies off a 4ft wall. Some local teen saw and gave me a spare pair he had. Snapped the board within 3 weeks doing ollies off the library roof. Thankfully I got given a proper deck

Thinking about getting a similar set up 31" Cruiser oldschool design like this. I am almost 40 tho and haven't riden in 20 years so not sure if it is right for me

Can you do a video on how to land an Ollie, I used to be able to but I can now because if commitment

I’m currently riding a Jeff Kendall atomic man deck, Im hoping to learn to Bs 360

i have the same rails but i use them for comfy boneless variations

Hey Dan love your vids! I ride a popsicle 8.25. Im know lots of people who ride shaped decks and love them too 🛹 if I won I’d love to learn 180 no comply 🤞

I'm ridding a primitive board 8"1 inches with mosaic wheels (a not very famous brand) with bones redz. Some thunder trucks and pizza griptape. If I get the board I will probably learn no comply 360 on it

I ride a series 14 Tony Hawk deck and its so fun!! You should defintely switch

Riding Powell peralta board 8”regular shape board. Will learn no comply 🤲 can’t do it properly but it’s on the way

I had a Caballero back in the day, wish I still had it 🙁

Currently riding a 9" creature board. 1st trick I'd learn would be a no comply

What are the specs on that board? Seem fun to ride

Ive never considered these shapes cruisers since they were shredded by everyone until the popcicle shape came around. When i thibk cruisers i think longboards or the tiny 60s boards

Très intéressant, j'aime bcp la forme de cette board .... Mon 1er tricks dessus 🤔?? Probablement un simple shove it ....juste pour le fun de faire tourner cette planche

What board is used in the video? (ex. brand, model, length, width)

I’m currently riding a Rick and morty x primitive board and I want to learn to ride manual on that board

I’m riding an 8 inch chocolate deck but I can’t get my no complies down so I’m gonna try and land one of them

Im riding a basic popsicle deck and right now im trying kickflips so maybe an old school board would help

Not sure if you’ve already chosen a winner to giveaway a board to or not. BUT I think that board is really sick. My currents set up is a Powell Flight deck with Ricta Speedrings, bones reds, and thunder trucks. And gaara griptape that YUNG WAVY personally sent out to me If I had an old school deck from you the first trick I would do is a tre flip So clean. Then I would make a ton of youtube videos with it

1:47 what trick is that after the first one ?

Is that the mini?

im currently riding a beat up free board i got from a random kid buying a new one, i have no idea what board it is but if i got an oldschool board i would learn to boneless 360 or no conply 180❤

i just today (01/17/2024) got a vision hippie stick, i hope its as good as this video sugested.

currently riding a mike vallely powell peralta reissue and ive got indies on it that are too small. struggles of a broke teen but learning ollies on it are so much easier imo and i reckon im gonna learn on it for the next few months. seen serious progress with that shaped board regardless of the small trucks. double kicks are fucked for me idk why

I am currently riding a black board actually I buy it from my friend cause I can't afford new full set. The first trick I want to learn is 360 flip riding in switch and heel flip that's my weakness and I want to land it

I been skating a generic twin tip for perhaps close to 30 years (started on a fish tail in the late 80s, I guess). My wife started skateboarding at 39 (big up her) and has almost the exact same Heroin fish tail. Every time I have sneaky little go, I wanna pivot to a fish tail as my standard set-up. More versatile and performing than I could imagine. Guess I'll go for a Heroin as well - love them, and need to stop coveting my better half's! Would probably try and get my bonelesses back first! Currently riding a placeholder Flip popsicle so old and stickler covered I can't remember a thing about it.
