I'm sure you'll have a ton of people requesting more complex and difficult tricks. I hope you will continue to sprinkle in some of these very basic and simple beginner tricks as well. Thanks. Great job all around.
This is gonna be great for my son! I’m 44 years old and have skated since I was 10, and my son has just started this summer. He’s doing everything he can but he pretty much watches guys doing things that most skaters in the world can’t even do let alone a beginner! This will be perfect for him to show him tricks that are attainable and what those tricks lead to...ie. nose stall to eventually nose slide. I tell him the same things most guys would tell a beginner, learn to SKATE first. Get comfortable on your board. But instead he just tries to tre flip constantly because that’s all he sees and he definitely ain’t gonna listen to me about this! 😂. I think this might get through to him though!! Thanks Ben! And we’re both looking forward to the next video for the people who took your survey about Generator decks!! We’re both fans of them!!👍👍
Thank you for this tutorial, I am 44 years old ... or should I say young 😅 ... and started skating 4 month ago and can do an ollie now, and this will be my next trick to learn! 👍 Greetings from Austria 🛹🇦🇹🛹
I love the vibe you give man. I started skating 2 months ago to spend time with my son, I’m 37 😳 . I found your videos and have been completely beneficial to my progression. Keep the content coming, especially the easier tricks for peeps like me.
Great stuff! I've been digging slappy noseslides ontaller ledges lately. A little hesitant to add the pop due to fear but soon enough. A thing I think that is almost always missing in tutorials, even with flip tricks, is weight distribution conversation. You actually address it fairly often in your videos, so good on ya!
Your video on turning board in transition on a ramp help me so much that I actually did it this past weekend. Watched the video about two weeks back and had the technique playing over in my head while waiting on the day I could get to the park. And it worked. Thank you 👍🏼
Great video, I hung up my skateboard back in the late 80s. At the time we had plastic rails, nose guard, skid plate and truck covers. Back in the day I rode my board everywhere, our boards weren't built for the street skating of today. I was fairly decent on a quarter or half pipe and a few tricks off the pipe. I've recently got back into skating. I've definitely lost all my muscle memory from riding back then and now I'm relearning. Hope to see more of your tutorials to get back into the fun of skating and learn some tricks I missed out on.
Any tutorial is a good tutorial. We are all at different levels of ability so I say bring it all on. It’ll only help. Much love and thank you for the videos.
What a nice channel. I'm 33. I stopped skating when I was 18 or 19 but this turned up in my recommended so I gave it a watch. Just letting you know that it's a cool thing you're doing man.
Great, another distraction from work. Thanks Ben! Hyped for this channel - the nuance of physics and body mechanics gets lost in trick tip videos but it's the little details (where your shoulders point, eye point, hip rotation, body weight distribution) that make the difference between struggling with a trick for years with middling success or having it click for you immediately. Even better if you learn these things from a young age so you don't have years of bad habits and muscle memory baked into your bones. Hopefully this channel accomplishes this. Also, the father-son skate video dynamic is under-explored and I'm loving it. It would be cool if Ben managed to get his bother Ted Degros to cameo in the videos and talk about his time as a pro in the industry.
Whenever it’s raining or I’m not skating I find myself binging your videos even all the ones I’ve already watched countless times. You rule Ben! you truly show that skateboarding is about the love and fun 🙌
This was one of the first tricks I ever learned back in the day. I love a good noseslide. I've worn through the Everslick on the nose of my Creature doing them. Good video.
Great video! As a 39 year old beginner I had a pretty easy time following along with your tutorial. I'm still working up to increasing my "parallelness" to the curb and actually sliding, but just getting the stall down is fun. At first I was failing due to lack of speed and having my weight too far forward too early -- so I wasn't getting all the way onto the curb. Adding little more speed and unweighting my legs a bit more worked wonders.
I just landed my first one today! At first I didn't understand the movement and the flow, but thanks to your tutorial, I got it down! Thank you so much!!!!!!
I just did my first slappy nose slide with your instruction. The way you described how to incrementally build up to a true nose slide made it very digestible for a beginner like me!
this is a must watch for any beginner. Doin a simple nose stall on everything helped me learn how to do a lot of other moves when i learned how to skate.
Dude I'm learning these atm and I'm so hyped to go out tommorow and try again. I'm starting to get a little slide in here and there. Thanks for the very helpful video :)
I want your trick tips for frontside boardslides and frontside noseslides. I’ve got them good but not consistent. Great idea to have the second channel! One more subscription to look forward to 😁
I love yellow painted curbs. Living here in Wisconsin, we don't have very many nice, steep, banked and heavily painted curbs the way California and the rest of the west coast does. However, we do have some straight curbs, and some happen to be painted yellow (if you're lucky) and they slide with a little wax. I have a nice one a few blocks from my house and it's my practice spot. I learn new grinds there and practice little nose slides and manual tricks. Yesterday I learned how to frontside 5-0 grind on the curb and was getting them much more consistently than ever before. 5-0 grinds have nothing to do with this video, I guess I just wanna say curbs are super fun no matter if you're doing slappies or ollie-based grinds.
i've been skating for just under three weeks, and i was looking for a slappy noseslide tutorial for something to practice when working on improving my ollie gets too frustrating. this looks pretty great.
Thank you so much! I'm so looking forward to try this. Ive done nose stalls in higher curves and a slappy nose slide never occured to me xD And it looks sooo much fun. Thank you!
Dude, love your content!!! Do you have advice for young (and infant) skaters on equipment? Sizes of wheel, trucks, decks, etc. Make a vid with your advice!
Hey Ben! Love your main channel vids and am excited about this new channel, I wanted to ask some questions that you could make into videos or just give me advice on, firstly, when learning new tricks, I can't ever fully commit to them on flatground, no matter how much I try I'm never able to land with both feet, one of my feet always makes it's way back to the ground until I try them on grass or some other soft floor, and from there I always have to progress my way up to get them on normal flatground, and I hate that because some of my friends can fully commit to new tricks with very little effort, I just want to know if my commitment issues will go away with more experience, besides that some real video ideas would be how to fakie ollie down things, kickflips, nose manuals, and 50-50's
Nice memories from the early 90's , my favorite was slappy nose slide to krooked grind (with speed of course) i learn it from from a Ron Knigge in the New Deal vidéo in 1992 i think .
This is coming at a really good time me and my friends want to learn slappys and I also want to learn how to eventually nose slide on ledges so this is great! Also a slappy 5050 (front or back) would be great too!
I love your tutorials from your other channel and actually they brought me into loving slappys:D i never did slappys before, but MAN i would love a tutorial on an Impossible at some point! you can never have enough of those
I'll be following this new adventure. Talking forever about trucks wheelbase and steepness of boards hook me up to your very welcomed tips so this ones about tricks will be very appreciated. Thanks.
One of my favorite tricks back in the day. I regain and lose them these days, but I think I'm going to just commit to keeping them for old time's sake. Super fun. I'm much better at FS though.
There's just something so calming about doing a slappy noseslide
They're super fun
bro wtf i know u i just watched ur squeaky trucks video
I know I’ve definitely done one before.
Except for not being able to
Slappy’s in general are fun and relaxing
I'm sure you'll have a ton of people requesting more complex and difficult tricks. I hope you will continue to sprinkle in some of these very basic and simple beginner tricks as well. Thanks. Great job all around.
I will! :D

How’s it now
I’m just learning these today and your video is super helpful especially with the placement of the feet so thank you 🙏🏼
Man, your videos not only make me a better skater, they also make me more smarter by adding words like "slidey" to my vocabulary!!

Thank you!!!!
Always supporting your channels dude! I had a session with My old dudes today, was pretty sick =)
:D
Awesome video dude I love how you recapped at the end and didn’t drone on like another skateboarding channel that I will not name
Thanks sooo much for this tutorial. I was really looking for something like this! Thank you
You are so welcome!

Great instructional video for nose stalls and nose slides.
Pls do more tutorials like this! Keep up the great work!
I just landed my first one today! At first I didn't understand the movement and the flow, but thanks to your tutorial, I got it down! Thank you so much!!!!!!
Thanks much for this channel. It's the first one for which I turned on that bell thing 🔔
Awesome! Thank you!
This is so helpful! I’m about to go try them rn! Thx!
I just did my first slappy nose slide with your instruction. The way you described how to incrementally build up to a true nose slide made it very digestible for a beginner like me!
still working on those! still coming back to this video! still loving it and loving to just keep skating!
I don't skateboard but my daughter is learning and all your videos are awesome to help teach her. Please keep it up.
Awesome vids, thanks man. Learning to skate at 41 and your content helps out tremendously.
Happy to help!
Subbed dude. Looking forward to the future vids! :)
So pumped for more content Ben!
:D
This homie just got a new sub
loved this tutorial bro this is the next trick im learning
Nice work amazing tutorial! I learned this trick thanks to you!
After trying to get back into skating after 18 years, I have a new love for slappys
this is a must watch for any beginner. Doin a simple nose stall on everything helped me learn how to do a lot of other moves when i learned how to skate.
Correct
Dude I'm learning these atm and I'm so hyped to go out tommorow and try again. I'm starting to get a little slide in here and there. Thanks for the very helpful video :)
I thought you meant like an atm🤣
Love the energy he put in this vid👌
Great video! Thanks for the advice
These are dope! Thanks amigo!
What a beautiful grip tape setup of the little boy.
Great tutorial !
I love this trick it was one of the easiest tricks I learned to go before Ollie.
been working on this a few days...
finally hit a true good one last night! thanks for the tips ! 🤙🏼🛹
Skating is the Funest thing ever (6:40) - couldn't agree more Ben - now I have something new to try for "Slappy Sundays"
This was wholesome and enjoyable.
I want your trick tips for frontside boardslides and frontside noseslides. I’ve got them good but not consistent. Great idea to have the second channel! One more subscription to look forward to 😁
I will get there. I kind of suck at front boards though.
Keep up the good content
After 25 years, this was the fourth trick I landed. So much fun. A bit cheaper than ollie noseslide, but this I can.
I love yellow painted curbs. Living here in Wisconsin, we don't have very many nice, steep, banked and heavily painted curbs the way California and the rest of the west coast does. However, we do have some straight curbs, and some happen to be painted yellow (if you're lucky) and they slide with a little wax.

I was wanting this video to come up. And as of today I landed my first slappy noseslide!
i've been skating for just under three weeks, and i was looking for a slappy noseslide tutorial for something to practice when working on improving my ollie gets too frustrating. this looks pretty great.
You can do it!
Love this dude he reminds me of those cool teachers you get in high school
Thank you for the tips!
I had to sub! See you on the next tip.
“Skating is literally the funnest thing ever!” - Ben Degros, 2020
Thank you so much! I'm so looking forward to try this. Ive done nose stalls in higher curves and a slappy nose slide never occured to me xD And it looks sooo much fun. Thank you!
i can do the stall easily but never had the courage for the slide. going to get them tomorrow thanks to this video!
Dude, love your content!!! Do you have advice for young (and infant) skaters on equipment? Sizes of wheel, trucks, decks, etc. Make a vid with your advice!
Nice tutorial. I was trying to learn these this morning before I found this.
Glad you liked it!

Great video bro
This is coming at a really good time me and my friends want to learn slappys and I also want to learn how to eventually nose slide on ledges so this is great! Also a slappy 5050 (front or back) would be great too!
I love your tutorials from your other channel and actually they brought me into loving slappys:D i never did slappys before, but MAN
i would love a tutorial on an Impossible at some point! you can never have enough of those
thank u while dicking around at the skatepark I started doing this and didn’t realise it was actually something and now I feel accomplished
Sick. U should do a slappy series
My favorite trick!
Really enjoyed your vid. Once i get my trucks and wheels... I'll definitely try this! I'm 45 BTW!
I'll be following this new adventure. Talking forever about trucks wheelbase and steepness of boards hook me up to your very welcomed tips so this ones about tricks will be very appreciated. Thanks.
:)
I subscribed. Nice tutorial
Awesome Ben! Can you do a video on the slappy 50/50?
This is my favorite trick, and I can this pretty high curb.
One of my favorite tricks back in the day. I regain and lose them these days, but I think I'm going to just commit to keeping them for old time's sake. Super fun. I'm much better at FS though.
Bruh I’ve always wanted to nose slide but I didn’t know how to Ollie and this just brightens my day :D
