I give honest personal reviews of skateboarding products and upload trick tip videos to help serve the skate community.
I don’t pretend to be a advanced level skater- the clips I add are so you can see the product visually while being skated.
For reference- I skate each product about 2-3 times per week for at least 2 months before reviewing.
Thank you all for the love and support along the way- happy skating g’s.

Dude. I've never heard anyone articulate the turn difference between Venture/Thunder like you did, and god damn, it is SO spot on. Well done.
You should give the venture titanium’s a try really light
Thunder 147 vs Venture Lo 5.25 vs Venture High 5.25 ?
Thanks man! Great video! So, ordering them, they rank like this: *Lean needed to Turn:* (least to most) 1. Thunder (most responsive) 2. Indy 3. Venture (least responsive) *And over the Wheelbase:* (shortest to longest) 1. Indy 2. Thunder 3. Venture
Correct!
@@Skatebetter Have you tried Destructo D1's? I think they turn a lot with nice lean, deeper than Thunders. Would be nice to compare wheelbite marks
Hey just wondering when I install my trucks how can I stop my hardware bolts from going too deep into the deck?
Idk if I should get these or key frames
Need more silo's with the mesh toe box!! Soo fire, got that 90s look with a new age twist, flawless combo!! éS is the béSt!!
Hey man can you please do a video of only titanium trucks thunders vs indys vs ventures vs the new ace hollows? I love both indy and thunder trucks, i use to ride ventures back in the day the bumble bee 🐝 ones, i’ve tried ace trucks too there not bad
Where'd you find this beauty? It's so hard to find one with the vice monster
Wow awesome informative video, now I know which wheels to upgrade to so I can rip at the parks! Thanks bro
Hi! Size to trucks? Im argentina! Great vid!!
Thunder 149- they are for an 8.5 deck
talking about the hips being opened and closed is missed by every other tutorial
I don’t skate but love new balance I have about 10 pairs of the miu collection 990s, 992s, 993s. I really like the light weight lower look of the 440 especially compared to my vans authentics who’s soles are super heavy and kinda hurt. I definitely plan on getting more.
Nah wtf he explains everything like no other skater,this the best video to learn how to kickflip
Lets go marlins !
Which one slides better?
One of the best kickflip tutorials. Thank you!
Those look like DC answer to the Nike panda dunks
Lmao
Just went from a 7.75 to an 8.25 board. And the regression of my kickflips TOTALLY make sense now.
this is cool but to take the attitude there's just all sorts of kickflips and this is how i do them and sometimes they rocket is...c'mon. :) being able to catch your flip tricks is not just another way to do them, it is the more advanced and correct way to do them..still working on it myself!
Haha i get what you’re saying- I’m not saying those two things are mutually exclusive. Just saying that I don’t have the best kickflips all the time, and that people do them differently (not related to proper technique). Hopefully that helps!
Do royals and slappys lol Also shorter wheelbase for ventures to work
Ace AF1 truck review?
Best KF tutorial! I've watched so many and this one works. Especially the section explaining the various potentially successful flick types or styles. And I've never heard anyone discuss popping by kicking backwards against the tail to bring the board towards you to flick against... I have an extremely inconstant KF however I know every time I get a good one that somehow I've ninja kicked my pop foot back and away, which brings the board not only up, but back towards my crotch. This video also allowed me to use the word crotch in a comment which makes it even better! 😅 Edit: Oh! And I realized during this video that the steps are NOT... = "Pop&level>>(pause)>>Flick>>Catch>>Land" - It is actually = "Pop>>(pause)>>Level&Flick>>Catch>>Land"
Hi, trucks 139mm or 149mm to this table size ?
I got recently got Spitfire Conical Full 58mm 99dur & they are ONLY good on a Super Smooth surface like a Skatepark, other than that pretty useless anywhere else. So I put them on a board I hardly use. Sad story.....
Damn lot 11 🔥
I hate knives with multiple blades
Great review bro keep em comin
"Like an ollie north" makes so much sense
"How to think about" and "how to practice" are so important and rarely talked about
Hey just found your channel and it's been very helpful. Im building a board and im going to get back into skating in my 30s. I had decided on the thunder lights 2 for the trucks and this cemented that for me for sure. Have you tried/reviewed the powell dragons, F4s or the andy Anderson nano cubics? Was thinking of trying the dragons. I subbed 🤙🏻
Too hard to hear you....
How so?
Easily my favourite shoe the sb blazer mid. Such a good shoe. For the love of god Nike please stop with those stupid unfinished tongues truly horrible the odd pair has a normal tongue. My anthracite has summit white has and the black suade with dark gum foxing has too. Just better nowhere near a deal breaker for me.
If you like that scratch away graphic, you should check out the scratch away, terminator deck. It’s a old-school deck, but it’s dope.
Nice park...where?
The leather sbs are better for walking and the suede ones are better for skating.
Doing work around the house to buy these now
real content here
Conical bushings upgrade the VENTURE turn 100% better.
And halve their stability.,,,
What’s the lightest deck you ever skated
Either the WKND deck or the Zero
I was gonna watch this but it made zero sense to NOT use Venture HollowLites against a Thunder Hollow..
If they had Venture Hollow Lites I would have done those but they only had these
I just watched this even though I have kickflips on lock. Maybe it will help with a nollie flip lmao
hey bro, have you switched back to the Thunders with the new bushings yet? I'm really interested in how that performs.
I did eventually switch back and they were perfect. Best setup for trucks by far for me personally as I really enjoyed the responsiveness
Niiiice I decided to go with Thunders (lights but not hollow lights) too, gonna skate them as is but I do wanna switch the bushings eventually just to see what a difference it can make. I want to try all the truck brands eventually as well. I'm an EDC gear nerd coming back to skating and my gear madness is unstoppable. Lmao@@Skatebetter
The 1010’s are my favorite!! That and the 808’s. The Tiago’s are sick shoes they really hold up

I love passports man
Is it as good as the Nike Blazer GT Low? I really want to buy this model! thank you from Brazil 🇧🇷🛹🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻
Yes- they have a wider toe box but overall board feel and durability is similar and i personally found them more comfortable
Hi. Do you like them ? Bought those
Just bought quasi 8.0 to my 11 yr old kid
Are those flat shoes?
