    best rule about your old skate gear is once you're done with it give it to someone who needs it theres always that one dude at the park with his deck chipped and waterlogged to hell with no nose and tail trucks ground the axel and dude not even got wheels he just got bearing covers i just give my old shit to who ever looks like they'd need it my old gear is wasted sitting in my room when theres other less fortunate skaters who'd actually get some use out of our old stuff we think isn't good enough for us

    I’m about the same. 2 months is what they usually last me until this Monarch Project that I’ve been riding. I set it up in October! And it’s still in good shape. What I do with my old boards and wheels is that I donate them to a friend that has an organization in which she takes complete skateboards to kids in developing countries. She keeps good track of everything so you know where your boards went to. Pretty cool stuff

    Few things for me! It’s so awesome being an old skater now to appreciate the things you spoke of. Having new
    Boards is a huge luxury, my inner child
    Rejoices. Absolutely right about changing your board when it affects your skating, I didn’t wanna change my board because there wasn’t much time left in the season last year and so I wanted to save my fresh one for this spring. Well I hung up on a box with that soggy board and hurt my ribs for that last month of the season. Haha wouldn’t have happened with fresh wood! Me too tho having the option to change boards when I was younger wasn’t a thing, it was whenever you got gifted one or something. Boards just destroyed, I literally wouldn’t be able to nail tricks because my board held me back haha. Can’t wait to setup a fresh one soon! Cheers

    I have been skating emoji impact light and Powell flight decks for couple years now. The carbon fiber layer helped them retain their shape and pop for years. I noticed when I would skate a maple board even after sitting in my garage for 6 months it would lose its pop. I don’t break board and only skate at my manual pad, handrail, and mini ramp. So I didn’t want replace my deck every 6 months when they looked brand new, but felt soggy. So even though those decks are more expensive, I can skate them for years and in turn save money and enjoy skating more. Thanks for the vid Ben!

  • @lipscantgo
    @lipscantgo Pƙed 2 lety +1

    If you think about how much a quarter inch (6mm) of flattening of the kicks makes, it's actually enormous. Imagine how big of a difference there is in pop feel between a 55mm truck and a 52mm truck. Now double that. Or 48mm wheels and 60mm wheels.

    @not_a_frog Pƙed 2 lety

    Only noticed this bc I worked at a shop & spent too much time staring at stacks of new boards: the quarter inch gap you're seeing at 3:40 is largely bc the bottom board is shrink-wrapped. it you try it after unwrapping it you'll notice it much less. PS Thanks for explaining the 1-4 scale on dlx boards! I had no idea that was a thing and I'm all excited to go pick out a 4 now 😂

    When i was a teenager i had the worst board in the skatepark, it got so bad i had to ride trucks from different brands for a while. As soon as i was 18, i got a job and first thing i did was buy a complete lol. Now more than 25 years later, i have a pile of new boards waiting to be skated, i still skate them for at least 3 months, but at the end of 3 months they are still usable and in good shape, so good that i would have loved to skate one of those anytime when i was teenager. So i give away my boards to a couple of kids at the park, but these kids wont set them up!!! They rather skate their shitty boards until they break for some reason, id tell them, "dont worry dude, i have more boards, just set it up if you break it come and see me ill give you another one" and yet they still refuse to use those decks. In the last year i also gave away trucks, shoes, knee pads, hardware, wheels, i advise everyone to check decks at your local park and support kids with shitty boards. Most of them have parents like mine, they hated skateboarding, but if only they knew skateboarding saved my life and got the best life lessons from it they would have changed their mind.

    When I skated as a kid it got to the point I would get a new board every week after skating for like 7 years. In those early years I wore my boards out. I skated from 87-97. Then I started skating again over 2 years ago and I notice that I don't particularly love deluxe boards. The wood seems different, and they get weak pretty fast. I started skating madness decks like a year ago and really like their steeper kicks and dwindle boards are actually different in that every board is the same and not the 1-5 lottery. I also really like quasi decks but I'm not sure how ps stix is making his decks nowadays, but its been one of my favorite decks. I skate 8.5" and 8.75" on transition, so I'm on the bigger board end. Don't get me wrong I want to love anti hero and real, and I love krooked. but I've never been that impressed with the quality. I also prefer bones over spitfire, which I don't get why spitfire are considered the best. I've bought a few sets and I can't stand how slick 101a is with spitfires I really notice they slip out more than bones. I want to hate dwindle for other reasons like how they wont retire blind or 101.

    Hey all, I instantly clicked this video, because this is a question I ask myself a lot. I'm in my late 30s, work a lot and have 3 small kids. So I want to have the most fun on my board for the limited time I have. But at the same time I don't want to be wasteful. I'm a trained app developer and tend to overanalyse things sometimes, but most of the time I set up a new deck I love the feeling and the sessions usually are more fun than the last one with the soggy board. I often thought about writing an app to find the best possible timing for a new board but I'm not sure what the parameters for changing the board would be. Did anyone of you guys ever do a list or some research about this topic? The only thing I do is I take a picture of my boards when I change them and as a general rule I land at about 2 - 3 months per deck

    Been thinking about the wasteful side of things too lately, been thinking I could try having two set ups? Fresh board for tech stuff, and then when it’s gone soggy, swap it over to a transition set up. Hopefully by that time, your old transition board is absolutely smashed.

      I started riding 2 setups, an 8.5 for street with smaller wheels, and a 8.75 for gnarly transition with bigger wheels. Right now I'm thinking about just riding a 8.5 because I'm now maintaining 2 setups and it's twice as expensive. I'm 44 so I can afford it but it's getting old every 2 months buying new decks and whatever else I need. Like right now I need 2 sets of wheels, 1 board and new bearings. When I could swap between the two and just get new wheels and a board and have one fresh setup. I have several pairs of ground down trucks and old bones swiss bearing I could just clean and have a garbage deck setup but I like fresh setups. I always also like to buy new wheels with a new board. I flatspot my wheels like crazy any brand too. I'm babbling but I will go back to 2 setups in a few months. Just because I love 159s for transition skating.But like a smaller board for flip tricks and tech skating. It's a trade off really. I grew up in 80s vert skating then went through the 90s into street skating some I'm a little of both.

    I change my board twice a year, mostly because even though I skate a lot I'm not that good and cant justify spending the money on a fresh deck that often

    Scary how fast the kicks are droping with Real deck. That's why I find it hard to switch from Enjoy - I can skate that longer and that particular deck will be in my memory as something special.Just measured the rise of Thaynan pro deck kicks and after 2 months it was still 20 degrees. They are harder to land stuff but if I do, it looks way better. I prefer their happy graphics too. Throwback is that they are way heavyer in my opinion. Like 130 grams heavyer than Element. I was suprised to step on my friends Element-Thunder setup. But if I manage to land anything on a steep kick heavyer deck, it will look way better than on lighter setups. I still kind of plan to put something lighter ready as well, but it somehow has to be Enjoy, probably drop from 8,5 to 8 or something.

    Personally I ride my decks until it feels like i’m struggling to pop onto the main ledge at my park. Then take my old deck and use it on a beater cruiser setup. I ride it to work 6 months out of the year (rain or shine) so once the wood is waterlogged I change it out. If I have any extras I also like to give them away to the homies

    Always love your content. Although at 4 min when you're talking the difference in the decks, I don't think it's really fair because you still have the plastic wrap around the new deck. That is going to lift the old deck when the new one in plastic is on the bottom.

    I set up a new deck when it breaks. Some last me a couple hours, some several months. Unlike a bunch of people, a razor tailed, well broken in deck doesn't affect me as much. If you have your techniques on lock, the condition of a deck shouldn't be a dealbreaker.

    Of course when you have a board that you want to change out and you don't want to be wasteful you can give the old one away to someone that needs it. I've got a stack of old decks in my garage I need to give away come to think of it. Yes, I am a skater in his 40s with a good job and the luxury of being able to afford new stuff more often than my teenage self could have. A shame the knees aren't as up to it as back then though! One problem though, is that if I leave a stack of old decks at the local park I want to know it's going to someone that needs it and not an opportunist who will grab the stack and then sell them.

    Hey Ben, love your content and it definitely got me back into skating. But I was wondering, wouldn't two number 1 decks not lay on top of each other perfectly? Instead would a 1 match up perfectly with a 2 and so on? Since they are pressed on top of each other?

  • @arc.insight

    I agree that skateboarding can feel very wasteful. Every time somebody says it's normal to throw away a pair of shoes, a deck, wheels, etc. once a month... I cringe at the waste. I think the commercialization/capitalization of skateboarding has made it that way by design, with a flood of "cheap" products and an emphasis on "branding" over quality of design...which ends up cyclical...because who wants to spend extra money on something if they don't know whether it will be any better or last any longer? And likewise, if we're used to cheap disposable products, asking more money for something of higher quality can be a tough sell. Although, it seems like we should be able to figure out better uses for old decks...bookshelves, ramp parts, cutting them into funky new shapes, giving them away to somebody with no skateboard at all? I dunno. We should have a deck recycling program, lol.

    Hey Ben, what should I do if my kingpin nuts are constantly grinding against coping/ledge/flat rail? I've got these thunder 139s and I've only had them for like 5 months but I can feel the kingpin nut scraping every time I do a 50-50. I've definitely broke them in and I've tightened them as much as I feel comfortable. Are Thunder trucks just like that? I had the hollow ones before those which I really liked but the same thing started happening to them only it was after about 10 months. Should I just try a different truck?
