- I know we have done a lot of board set up videos, but Chloe has been asking for a real tutorial for beginners (like herself) who have never put a board together before. I hope this video helps you and you now have a complete set up you can go skate on!

What other tutorials do you guys need us to make?
I want to know an accurate answer to the best brands for custom board setup. Like what's the best wheels bearings etc. Thanks
I bet lots of people out there would watch or benefit from a how to build a quarter pipe or kicker ramp video :)
How to skate with rollerblades on......(remembere me? :D)
Best brands for different types of things. Etc. bearings, wheels, board
I know it's a big project for one video but just thought I'd throw the idea out there, love your videos guys.
75% of Zumiez employees need this video

So true
OMG THANK YOU SOME HOW THE GUY AT ZUMIEZ STRIPPED MY FUCKING BOLTS
j'ai commandé l'eau especially the griptape
You know braille is a good youtuber, when you already know how to set up a skateboard , but you still watch it.
Thank you
Grip_ Thumb huh
For real
I know that feeling, set up 2 boards for myself, and some for friends but still watched it
True

Can’t believe I’ve been riding skateboards backwards for a decade
RHD Z33 are you serious?
You mean goofy, or that you somehow managed to install the trucks backwards?

Youre not the only one. Only recently found out that a skateboard actually has a front and tail... I've just been riding whatever position it was in.
Munny * same 💀
I just love how Chloe runs the store yet has no idea how to put a board together
Zumiez x braile?
She probably runs the online store. That’s all just business. You could not even know how to skate to run it.
She just manages the money, and the online sight, she could do the with any store, its sales, not like a local skate shop
@Mr Awesome Online, where no one has seen her before.
Levi Han perfection
“Wait, for little kids don’t you want the wheels tighter?”
“No, you want the wheels to roll.”

LeviTheLevite I feel like he meant like literally not roll, and she thought just meant roll slower lol.

Shes kinda stupid....I mean clueless
Probably meant trucks
What the heck
13:20 i didnt notice the bigfoot in the background the first time i watched this
Wow
I was going to comment what u just said 😂
4:33 thats the saddest "first try" i have ever heard
Lmao
Yeah so sad
First try 😔
@@nehemiahzo_ yeah lol
It should be “FIRST TRY!!!!!!”
13:20 A wild Skatesquatch in his natural habitat, ready to grind at any moment
😂😂 That's funny I didn't even notice that
He can 900 but nobody's ever been able to catch it on camera
SO IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY
i thought my eyes were deceiving me
When I was a kid I replaced my setup as my deck was just destroyed and I ordered one from a magazine, I needed to put on my own grip tape and trucks etc. I was about 12. I knew how to use tools but the internet wasn't remotely a thing (I am 44) I wish I had this video back then. I came to all these conclusions but It took ages. Now my son watches your videos and I will be showing him this now his store-bought board is broken and he is vert skating so we can set up his new board together. Thanks so much for this content.
wholesome.
then destroy the skateboard after your done to show dominance
UnworthyIsLive absolute power move
@@Nitrofyi lol
what can I say, I got a F in building, fantastic is F
I wanted to start skating in quarantine because it seems really fun. This helps, thank you!
did you?
did you?
did you?
You got a ollie down yet?
Did you ?
13:20 we’re just not gonna talk about the big foot over the person in the back
Samsquanch
ah its the ghost that lives there
@Dylan Riggs that was what I exactly wanted to say XD
I've seen like 20 videos of board setups from Braille, but having girl in one definitely makes more views )
13:20 bigfoot spotted.
Lmao I think they did that on purpose that super weird edit! Lol
Sex always sells. ALWAYS.
I saw it 😂
Bigfoot Confirmed
bro y’all saw that too?? i thought i was going crazy
I’m not gonna lie Aaron looks like Sid from ice age 😂😭
My name is brandon to and i skate as well😅 that's awesome

As someone who's building their first board, seeing someone who's also completey new to this is really helpful! Thanks Chloe! :)
Chloe's crazy cute. We need more of her.
NuclearParadox I’ll let her know she needs to be in more videos
I second this motion!

I learned how to put together a skateboard by putting together fingerboards
Same here
Nice
Legend spryzen weak
Same, my 8 year old self actually learned something useful
Same. Tech Decks were the trend at my school for like 3 months!
Just got my boys some boards today. Super cheap but with Hawk's name on it so they're stoked. Took them out today and the wheels hardly roll so I'm going to get them some new bearings and maybe some Bones since they think those are cool. This video is priceless for me taking this on. After watching I may check the nut as well to see if it's over-tightened. Thanks a bunch for the video from a fellow Bay Area dweller.

Thanks!~ I just bought all my stuff and watched this while assembling. It's mostly review but it was still helpful to make sure I didn't miss any steps!
25 YEARS SKATING AND NEVER SANDED DOWN MY EDGES WITH THE CORNERS... GREAT TIP!
lol i never used a razor i just used a truck or rock or wrench to sand it all the way to the wood
I knew that trick and never really used it, I instead mastered the art of cutting out the griptape smoothly and evenly with the blade xP
Putting it in all caps really drove the point home
*And when handling razor blades or any other blades like knives etc is: USE A SHARP BLADE!*
*When the blade gets dull that's when you start using force to cut with it, that's when you can slip out and hurt yourself.*
*It might seem counterintuitive if you're not used to working with tools but sharp blades is the key to not cutting yourself!*
Yeah I cut with them
Also if your blade is sharper and you do cut yourself the cut will be a lot more shallow and will bleed less.
I second this. Dull blades also tear more into your flesh and leave a not so clean cut making it harder to heal. You don't want to do that!
i sharpened my nephews pocketknife once.
his mom got mad because i made it "too sharp" at first, but i just had to tell him to alwas cut away from himself and not running with a knife in hand and he hasn't cut himself ever since.
i do however know of people cutting themselves really badly with sharp blades but in those cases it's usually a matter of the user being stupid as fuck.
I did that with an egsacto blade
I love you Chloe, i have started learning today!!!
I have watched this nearly 13 times I can
not get sick of it
Now teach chloe to skate!
they already did 2 videos with her teaching her to ollie and something else
jᎬssᎬ MᎪᏒᏆᎥᏁᎬᏃ they did
I've been assembling my own skateboards for about 15 years and just watched this entire video. That's how much I love you guys.
this video is super helpful, assembled my first complete board myself after watching this!
Thanks to the both of you for the video!
Aaron: get your parents to cut the grip tape for you, ok?
Her: Ok
😂😂😂😂😂
who_s th
LMAOOO
imagine if he wasn’t from san francisco.
“My name is Aron Kyro, I’m a sponsored skateboard rider from the Manhattan area...”
nope that don’t sound right.
i think its the "skateboard rider" instead of "skateboarder that sounds wrong"
Actually it would be "My name is Aaron Kyro, and I'm a sponsored skateboarder from the Manhattan area". And the reason it doesn't sound good is that it's not as long as "San Francisco Bay Area".
I’m 99% sure his name is Aaron Kyro
Bay area is the actual name. It would just be Manhattan, not "Manhattan area", genius.
My Name is Aaron Kyro and I'm a sponsored skateboarder from the Atlanta Zone 6 Area. And then he gets shot
Fantastic run through. Helped hugely with my skateboard build.
Making your first board is something special especially when your little I started skating only because I needed a thing to get to school got a cheap target board people laughed but some helped me find actually local skate shops and when I went there and picked out everything and made my first set up it was something special never will forget
Braille: "Hey this video is an important tutorial"
Also Braille: keeps filming Aaron's face while things are being done
Miguel Appleton I wouldn’t mind if they zoomed in on the girl
I actually LOVE to put a Skateboard together but in my town, we don't have a goddamn skate shop .-.
Same
Order parts online
Same hahahahah but in my whole country there´s no a one skate shop
Same
javian ramirez de moya that’s rough buddy
I just went to the local skate shop today and got my first skate board😊it was very satisfying watching the guy put it together
Thank you so much! Made my first board and this helped tremendously.
I've seen you guys set up skateboards so many times that I learned how to do it 😂 but I think Chloe had a great idea, this video is surely gonna be useful for thousands of people 👍
A SASQUATCH appears in the warehouse at 13:20
Yeah, tf is that XD
Didn't see it... my eyes were focused elsewhere.
Ryan Nickens wtf RYAN!!! U perv!
ascalabro ikr I thought I was the only one who saw it but I wasn’t I was starting to feel crazy for a second
I saw Bigfoot in the screen
This was a perfect tutorial! Thank you two!
More videos featuring Chloe please!!
Can you do opposite truck game of skate, so like the trucks are the wrong way?
That is Hilarious to think about
Aha that'd be cool as
They've done this
Tightening - Hear - Here, here, here, here. It sets the base evenly and stresses the deck less. Love the video lots of simple how to do.
two wonderful and sweet person explaine how to set up. i liked it to watch. and after 15 years of skateboarding i will copy your idea to use the rest to sanded down the edges
15:54 protective aunt mode
Woo! Just finished putting together my first skateboard! Now, to relearn the ollie... It's been like a decade since I last skated, and that was on a Walmart board.
How much did the whole thing cost?
I use the hardware for go kart racing rims & the nuts with the “plastic” in the end are usually called NYLOCKS for the nylon plastic in them. Only what I have known them called by. I could be totally wrong... LOVE the videos just started skating again since jr. high and am 34 now. Thank you Braille Skateboarding!!!
I really feel like starting to skate so this is very helpful thanks!
Ya know I think if I had a dollar for everytime Aaron said he's a sponsored skateboarder from the San Francisco Bay Area I'd be rich lol
Yay! The couple of videos where you guys taught Chloé how to skate were great! It's good to see her again! I hope she'll get featured a bit more on the channel.
Ill never forget setting up my first skateboard 1996. Something that, at the time, changed my life. 8" channel one "crack kills" deck, some old gullwing trucks that were wider than my deck cuz they were from my brothers old school board, old bones bearings and wheels. I rode that board til my tail was so small and squared near incapable of riding, but I rode it anyway.
Fwiw, the nuts with the plastic in them are called Nylock nuts.
The plastic is nylon embedded into the nut to prevent it from coming loose.
Loctite is a liquid you can add to the threads that prevent seizing of the nuts to the bolts, but mostly to act as a glue to prevent the nuts from coming loose, and depending on the colour of the Loctite it determines the strength of the hold.
Why are you verified
@@nelsonmakesmusic445 Why does it matter?
13:20 Haha. I had to double take on that one. Nice addition.
same lol
Thank you Soo much! It's my birthday Day and I'm getting a skateboard. Now thanks to you I will know how to put it all together. Again thank you so much your my favorite!🤩
Thank u so much for this vid!! I bought an already built skateboard to start learning and it kept leaning to a side and it didn't turn! I just realized that the front trucks were on the wrong side!!! Thanks to your comment on 9:48 I was able to change it and fix it and now it works perfectly
I love her. I want one.
I really appreciated your input on the truck life. I always wondered how long should trucks be used before switching.
I've been skating a Walmart board I got for Christmas for a while. Finally got around to saving the money to get a real board. This video has prepared me for Monday when my stuff comes in from Skate Warehouse. So excited cannot wait. Thank you for this helpful video.
I had a walmart board at first too, LOL
Andriomato bro I’m pretty sure everyone has had a Walmart skate board in there life even if they don’t skate😂😂😂
She should definitely be in more videos,
Does Chloe know how to skate
metalbowser23 she skates a little, she should spend more time practicing for sure
@@brailleskateboarding lance 2.0???
# skategodess??
#betterthanlance was her callsign if I remember correctly
@@Cowswillrul3 Considering the fact that she appeared few time before Lance goes, my theory is that SHE IS LANCE. Just saying.
The footage of you guys skating afterwards was just amazing!
Q gregorian that’s the whole point of the joke
@@jamal2201 oh. Yeah it would've been nice to see them skate ngl
I started skating at like 15yrs old and stopped at like 21-22yrs old. Stopped skating completely. I'm 36 now and went riding around on it and man it was fun. I suck and cant do tricks like I used to but now I want to get back into it. Hope I'm not too old now to start back up.
lmao why am i watching this... i've already set up my board and not getting anything new for awhile lol
It is always inspiring to see Chloe in videos. She is awesome.
Supertramp rock singer is a great teacher, appreciate your help!
No wonder why everybody is all jolly at the Braille house all the time lmao 💕
Can you make more tutorials because I’m new to skating and I need to watch professionals to learn
There are lots of braillie tutorials, check theri channel
Any specific tutorials you need that we haven't already made?
I was only able to find a few but I’ll keep looking thanks though
Braille Skateboarding I’m not trying to force you to do something but if you ever have time you think you can make a playlist on your channel showing tutorial and other things if you want. Remember you don’t have to
Braille Skateboarding what shoes do you recommend to skate with?
My name is Aaron kyro and I’m a sponsored skater from the San Francisco Bay area
Arron this helped so much thank you for making this
Ive been watching you since i was 8 thank you so much this is my second time watching this but this time you motivated me to build my own skate board instead of buy an walmart skateboard thank you so much i love your vids
You guys should do a board setup competition. Who can do it the fastest and cleanest. Timed. The whole Braille team.
"The other day I was walking down the street and saw a walrus"
I have no idea why, but i laughed sooo hard at this...
His name was John Lennon
He looks dead there LOL I laughed so hard
Excellent tutorial
Great video, i just started skateboarding it helped a lot.
Awesome

when you fart in class
Been 32 years since I built my Santa Cruz Salba board and I forgot so much. Thank you for this. (Feel like the Titanic lady...it's been 84 years 😂)
I lke all your videos! I used to skateboard (street) when I was 6th/7th grade. I had a brain Tumor so I basically quit, I still tried to skate now n then but found I had lost alot of my balance and being weaker from all the surgeries and chemotherapy didnt help either. Fast forward 20/25 years later, last night I ordered myself a skateboard. Since I gave my youngest brother, my little buddy, My board many years ago. I used to ride/had a Santa cruz TomKnox w a mix of parts, then for my birthday my parents bought me a SC everslic board, after I had already started Chemo. It was a nice thought though and I did skate it a bit, nothing though like I used to prior cancer. Now I'm big into mountain biking, and cancer free. I think skateboarding will still always be a part of me, I'm amazed at how things have changed, but am still excited to try out my new board. Your channel has probably been the motivation! Even if it doesn't turn out the way I expect, I figure I've got a couple of nephews I can teach to skate! Excited! After I start riding gaining balance n all I'll have to see if I can still Ollie/ Kickflip, I used to be known for grinding right through the axles of my trucks if I didn't break them first. Thank you!
i love gripping my boards. haha super satisfying especially when it comes out great. always sand the edges after you cut the excess that way when the board lands wonky concrete doesmt gouge the egdes of the tape. i can always tell when people skip that step. also the nuts are called nyloc nuts. its a piece of plastic that helps with vibration. great piece of tech that has no doubt revolutionized skateboarding and other applications. hahah
Man I was loosing my mind bc I lost the little washers for the bearings and I didn’t think it was important but I still didn’t know and I thought I ruined my board but him saying people probably don’t use it gave me a huge wave of relief
13:21 that tripped me out
i got my first board at skatefest in council bluffs today i’m excited to set it upppppp
I like setting up my boards it’s fun. I also usually don’t get all the peices new at the same time. I use my old trucks and wheels etc
4 weeks ago I did my own complete.. it was a pain in the ass. I remember pushing the bearings in the wheel and that was so damn hard :(
also I f-ed up my griptape in one spot :D
Just got my braille board and used this video to set it up
Thank you, Chloe, for having them make this video. :D
about the tightness of the wheels, you might want them tighter than you would normaly have them, just so its a bit more stable until the learner gets the hang of it. thats how I learned to ride and loosen it after starting to feel more comfortable. just my 2 cents great vid
Aaawww Chloe is a so little cutie pie :DDD Helpful vid btw! thanks!
When Aaron said you did ok and looked at the camera smiling I immediately thought of the oh ah OohOOoh vine music
The Phoenix is my favorite AK graphic. My second is the Warrior graphic.
Nice breakdown! I'm totally crushing on Chloe...🤭💕
Aww she is sooo adorable😍😊
Im kinda afraid cause if I get the stuff to build my first skateboard and build it wrong it would be a loss of money for nothing 😅
Sameee
Its not rocket science.
cut the grip into sections like 3 pieces, easier to lay a section than whole sheet. nothing else is glued, and can be undone.
It’s literally common sense
@@Dragon228833 you could mess the grip tape up fairly easily
My anxiety makes me twitch so I'm probably not the ideal person to hold a razor blade
I love these skateboards
I always set up a deck with 1/8" risers....adds a cushion absorbs vibration, that can otherwise stress the veneer layers. I know some skaters don't like them, but I wouldn't skate without them.

Lolol love this vid educational and got me the laugh a few times love it
Thank you so much I just made my first board ever!!
I don't know anyone who in my area who skates yet and this helped a lot!
"Setting up the board is like the boards life" that part chloe was trying so hard not to luagh haha
You should do a challenge video where you use a skate board with backwards trucks so it’s inverted
that helped me so much, thank you
Thank you. Very useful.
