Skateboarding is incredibly fun but also very difficult. Aside from actually learning tricks, there is a lot to learn about your board, environment and the culture.
This list of 50 skateboarding life hacks will draw on my 20 years of skating to give you some tips and tricks you might have not thought of.

What's a skateboarding life hack I missed?
Yoo ricky my homie how are you
@@cooperwestmoreland5767 good thanks
If your wheel comes off and you loose the nut you can use a coke tab to hold it on, and If your trucks squeek then just take them out and put a little dawn on them and put them back on and it will stop squeaking
@@jonathonlyles3349 like dawn on the bushings?
@@rickyglaser I miss you bro I’ve just made it back to skateboarding it’s been a long time I took a break but I’m back and shredding
The “go to the skatepark early because no one is there” advice is given so often you’d assume it couldn’t be true (owing to the fact if even a fraction of people took this advice the park would be pretty packed early in the morning); but it is true! It seems that statistically only one skater in any given skatepark district is able to force themselves out of bed to get to their local skatepark pre-noon.
49 good tips out of 50. Non abrasive grip tape is good. SYS grip is awsome in my opinion. They rip your shoes much more less than normal grip. I skate my shoes with it for like half a year now and almost only waers on the bottom where i push.
Agreed! SYS is actually good
ruining your shows is part of the fun
agree! S(ave)Y(our)S(hoes) Grip is quite frankly the ultimate griptape for me.
it grips very well, lasts long and doesnt destroy your shoes.
I am now skating a pair of vans slip ons for 1,5 years already and I havent had to use shoe goo yet.
thats insane. And Vans have a stupidly thin outsole.
Ruining your shoes is part of it and plus non abrasive grip is hard to find and expensive
@@JYJOSHMX DKL isnt hard to get and like 5 bucks more than normal griptape, not much of an issue cuz ur shoes wont rip
While I’m not new to skateboarding, I’m new to taking it seriously. A lot of things I never even thought of. Thanks for the tips!
some of this stuff took me ages to figure out myself or to find someone to tell me. this is such a time saver for newer skaters :)
haha same
Great video, and congrats on the sponsor! Awesome to see your channel growing 👍🏽
thank you, i have some other exciting ones lined up too
1. Cant get the bearing in the wheel all the way? Tighten the wheel nut all the way down until it stops turning. Don't force it too hard as it will break the bearing.
2. Avoid decks with any sort of paint coat/film on the top of the deck. In high heat weather the paint can peel of the deck and come off with the grip tape.
3. Most wheels designs with the graphic inside have a tiny bit of a more square shape compared to the other side, which will lock into grinds better.
4. Knee sliding destroying your bottom lace? Don't loop the lace at the start of the shoe.
5. Try to have an easy cool down skate after a big session where you feel exhausted, this will prevent major fatigue and stiffness in the muscles.
6. Always stretch before a skate even for 5 mins.
7. Prevent yourself from running out of bailed trick in a bowl/halfpipe. Try bum sliding or knee sliding with pads, this will prevent major and minor back pains.
8. No energy to skate? Focus on high carb foods and sugary fruits. Gatorades are a life saver on hot days where you lose all your electrolytes and energy in sweat.
9. Can't even think where to start learning a new trick? Look at as many different tutorials as possible. Then replay it in your head 100 times and visualize as u attempt it.
10. Sub to Ricky and Braille
the 1st and 4th are ones i actually never thought of before haha
I hope that all is well for everyone here and I hope that you all have a great day today.
Glad to see you are getting the most out of the break mate. Using the experience and knowledge like this is a perfect way to use the time, keep it up cause it will keep people stay tuned 🙌 good content
thank you
Thanks for doing this video for us Rikki.
actual solid tips ricky thanks!!
Great vid! Learned a lot of things
I love you Ricky. Thanks for the tips
1. Rub brick.
Clear coat lacquer.
Wax. In that order will make any ledge-curb skatable.
2.Skateparks that are surrounded by trees are best skated after it rains.
3. Steel stick is malleable and will harden, thus making it perfect for patching cracks, chips, and chunks on ledges.
4.Citys/ County's with the most skateparks have the most street spots.
5.Bondoing is used to fix speed cracks on floor. And is only 20-30 dollars and takes a few minutes to flake and fix.
6.if you're proficient in switched stance skating popsicle boards make life easier.
7.Always film in a 45 degree angle ALWAYS.
8.If your city does not have a skatepark there a handful of nonprofits that will help you get started getting one built.
9. Post your busted chipped up skateboard on social media and 9 times out of 10 someone will offer to send you a brand new one.
10.If you tell a security guard/cop
" would you rather me be on the streets doing drugs?" Will buy you or your friends a last try. Get that clip homies.
That is a great skateboarding tip video!
Gracias por los consejos y gracias por el tiempo y esfuerzo dedicados
5:01 Jamie Foy said you can soak bearings in windex for optimal performance. Thoughts?
Ive heard it helps ur bearings front crook better
i'd say, use grip tape on the bottom of your trucks and line up the trucks with a flat edge then tighten down. They will never drift off center, Ever! Hope ur healin' up good and fast bruh!!! luv the vids in the in-between time tho
That's interesting, i believe the reason the bolts get loose is that the wood holes holding them become larger over time, maybe i will have to try, thanks
We want this series 👌
The clip at 6:52 is from my city lol. Aalborg in Denmark, so weird seeing this here. Not a fun information, but surprising for me at least
Tip 36 1/2 - removing grip tape. If you live in Western Australia you just wait until summer. You can then peel if off in one go. No heat gun required, no scrapping. Just pull it off. Easy Peasy.
Ricky this channel is going to blow up keep post #bigrickglass #trending
It’s like watching life hacks from a master the devil is in the details
thank you
showing a clip of Beagle when talking about the culture of skateboarding is spot on, that guy oooooozes skateboarding!!!!!!
I use candles replacing wax to skate. ALL TERRAIN!! Gretings from Argentina
12: If you can’t do a trick, ask Andy Anderson for help. That dude can do anything!
hey i just got my first skateboard on the two days ago and did my first ollie yesterday
you can use WD 40 to clean your bearings but after that you really should use a oil made for bearings.
WD 40 does not lubricate it cleans.
What is the problem with non abrasive grip? I switched and I find no difference
I was going to ask the same thing, I've used it for years and yeah the only positive is they dont break your shoes. Only negative I've seen well it gets slippery and is never consistent. Maybe its that but I would like to know Rickys opinion
Maybe Ill make a full video about it, I just posted a poll on my community tab I'm curious to see the results
@@Kazperian getting slippery and not being consistent are some pretty serious negatives for grip tape on a skateboard, though...
@@vincentchandler6075 yeah, you gotta put that on a balance vs losing shoes constantly. Non abrasive grip could be on a board you carry with you always in your car and used in days you have shoes you dont want to mess up and find a spot you need to skate. If you keep it clean it is consistent but some dirt can change it all.
great vid! missing tip how to mount board to "normal" backpack when you dont have dedicated one
Put a wheel through the round hanger thats used for lifting it with your hand and let it hang from it, thank me later :)
yeah thread it through your backpack handles horizontally with the grip against ur back, its not great but it will work
@@rickyglaser hey Ricky, hope you are feeling better. What I meant is hang it vertically through the hook that backpacks usually have behind your neck. If you put a wheel through that hook the skateboard hangs vertically from it. I travel everywhere with my skateboard hanging from that hook behind my neck, the only problem is if you bend your back to the sides it moves to the sides too trying to keep straight vertically down.
@@rickyglaser people say it looks cool when I hang it there like I'm sheathing a sword like an anime character, I think I'll do a video about it someday
3. Don't use Shoe Goo. Use something called Aquaseal from Gear aid or similar product. Shoe Goo is some kind of rubber cement which doesn't work well for skating and problems like flaking can occur. Aquaseal is a urethane adhesive that keeps your shoe grippy and it doesn't flake.
Anyone know the white and blue shoes from number 34?
Thanks for Tip #12. I will Scream Out loud for Andy Anderson from tomorrow morning ...
lol go to Venice you will prob find him
@@rickyglaser too bad America won't let a healthy, unvaccinated European enter the country 😭
nice vid Ricky
A shoelace belt is also great as a spear shoelace. But when you sacrifice the belt for the shoe... pants be saggin like glows 😂🤙
Thanks Mr. Bunnings how to.
Love Zach dowdy
No 50 is hillarious 😂
ricky whats the best shoes for skate pls my shoes are dying
vans sk8 his or half cabs
@@rickyglaserThanks so much
@@rickyglaser but my shoes from vans in like 2 months they are horrible
@@roligopigo231 seems about right.
The soles are what wear out fast on my shoes.
I've rarely shredded the uppers before the soles are shot.
Number 50 needs to be changed. LOL!
Number 50 for real!
hey ricky how do i overcome the fear of falling and being scared to commit to a trick
honestly the only way is to fall and realize its not all that bad
@@rickyglaser thank you ur the goat
why not use non abrasive griptape? it helps you avoid shoes in the microwave, shoe goo, and super glue on laces
its trash
50 🤣 lmao im dead hahahahaha
Shots fired at non abrasive lmao
best guy from the braille huose
Rethreading axle and king pins with a steak knife. 😁
be safe
@@rickyglaser Takes Surgical skill. 😆
just so you all know, super glue and cotton in combo creates fire, i know you don't believe me but you will one day if you fuck around and find out
04:00
Loading screen skateboarding tips.
Ha ha Braille skateboards are sold at WalMart
W
Is non-abrasive grip really that bad?
I like sk8
#50 🤣🤣🤣
The shoes in the microwave trick is a scam to sell more shoes
lmao, ill admit ive never done it before, but a lot of my friends and respectable skaters love it
Rick bro why would you say that non abrasive grip is the best it's just no one ever sets it up right I have it and ive been skating the same shoes without any wear and tear for 1 whole year and it grips just like mob
shoes in the microwave can ruin the adhesive that makes the soles stick together
Why not buy non abrasive grip? Is it no good?
Non abrasive grip is good what are you talking about?
#10 its that actually works? :)
Honestly ive never done it, but a lot of my friends and pros love it
I FEEL LIKE WE ALL KNEW 38
YES, WD40 IS A DEGREASER. THANK YOU. lol
