    | Q&A |
    Q: How old are you?
    A: 19 years old from the 16th of February.
    Q: How do I get a Crownboards?
    A: They aren't sold at the moment, due to internal work at Crownboards. Mainly so the Crown Boss can finish his school and we can start with a perfectly working online shop around april 2017. Stay tuned!!
    Q: What editing program do you use?
    A: Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and sometimes After Effects for some extra's.
    Q: What camera do you use?
    A: A Canon 60D with 18-85mm lens (sometimes 50mm) and a Canon Legria HF G10.
    Q: How long have you been longboarding?
    A: I think I started in 2012, you can do the math ;)
    Q: How long does it take to edit the videos?
    A: When I started this channel, it took me about 8 hours for an 8min video. Now I can proudly say that I've probably cut it to about 6 or something. Still a lot though but when you count in searching for music, creating the description and other upload info,... It's quite understandable haha.
    Q: How much does the Royal Tribe cost?
    A: The board costs 199 euros without shipping.
    Q: Does Crownboards ship to "..."?
    A: Crownboards ships to almost every country, but the price will increase with more distance. Europe has pretty cheap shipping prices, you should contact Crownboards for more info about other countries.
    Q: What longboard should I buy?
    A: Check out my Ultimate Guide For Buying A Longboard video. Everything I know is in that video :)

    Hi all, future Hassie here. Since this video still gets a lot of attention, I just added the (very much needed) English subtitles.
    Also, check out the new tips videos if you're interested in more of this. I promise they're more enjoyable to watch than these old ones lol.

But I did go out and after the first time it gets easier because you realize most people don't care. I was surprised that on my third day, these two other kids around my age came out and started practicing too.

  • @TomOtvos
    @TomOtvos Před 7 lety +784

    As an adult, I found this basic video very helpful. I never rode when I was a kid and want to learn to use a board for basic transportation. Not super interested in tricks. So a helpful follow-up to this would be a "Basics on the Road", taking the stance, push, and stopping onto non-flat surfaces. I am still not comfortable stopping (yikes!), but also when there is any amount of speed I get a side-to-side wobble that is hard to control.

    • @christineboutin3767
      @christineboutin3767 Před 6 lety +42

      Tom Otvos when I get the wobble thing I try get lower on my knees, and try to be a bit more flexible on the board and it usually works to take control back
      for the stopping, I myself can't advice you much since I still have issues when I'm at a high speed. I usually get down and let my board crash in the closest bush/pavement :')

    • @josephvanderhoven9967
      @josephvanderhoven9967 Před 6 lety +18

      If you still have this problem, when I'm surfing or long boarding I'll just put my hands to either side of my body and get lower in my stance and this almost always helps. Carving slowly can help slow you down also.

    • @fancybluepen3489

    as a novice, i kinda bought a longboard blindly, so a video about different aspects you should look at when buying as a beginner/someone who wants to just cruise vs someone who wants to do tricks would be so helpful. plus, im not super sure what to do to maintain my board, so that too!

    Bought a longboard few days ago. Started longboarding this year at the age of 23. Never skateboarded nor rode on a penny before. Also my first time since I decided to invest on my first board. Watching this video definitely taught me how to cruise around easily. First day, practiced in a basketball court with no one around (yes I know bad place to start). Second day actually, I took it to the streets around my neighborhood and I'm slowly getting it down. So far, no regrets making the worthy investment and cruising around feels great. I just wanna say appreciate how much quality content you put into your videos that make it a great introduction for everyone.

    Hans, thank you so much for your tutorials. I'm 59 years old and a beginner, learning to longboard in SoCal. I find your instruction to be extremely beneficial in building up my confidence and easy to follow to improve my skateboarding abilities. Originally, I got a longboard to improve my balance in my mountain biking. But now find your instructions help me enjoy longboard'g more than I could have ever imagine. Cheers!

      @DanGanGalaxy 2 you can angle your body and shift your weight up to a certain point, but it depends on how fast you're going and how long/steep the road you're on is. Once you reach a certain speed, you just know that if you make a wrong move, you're off balance and it's gonna hurt so you just try to stay on your board and pray for the best :'D If you're in protective gear and have a board designed for downhill there's more you can do, but I think the biggest point is how well you're able to control your body in the situation. I can speak from experience: it's a super fun and free feeling experience, but once you start feeling fear it's a horror story :'D

Glad, nothing was broken, but it gave me a scare. This year, I'm working on getting more familiar with my board and slower speed practice. Thanks for the tips.

    I think you should mention some progression tips, like what trick next to learn would be good, or how to deal with taking SO long to land a trick, something I'm struggling so bad right now with bigspins. Maybe you should add this in the how to learn tricks vid, not sure, but just my two cents! Also maybe a setup guide, like what setup is good for freestyle, so that beginners that want to dance get an optimal setup haha.

      I thought I was the only one. I'm nervous that it will affect some tricks because the back foot won't be on the tail..

    is it normal to be scared to go down hills and push while learning?

    It is a real pleasure to watch your videos. Very clear and concise for a beginner like me, without the conceited air I have seen in other videos. You have a great talent that clearly came with a lot of dedication to training and passion. Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your skill.

    Hey Hans! Just started longboarding few days ago, got one as Christmas present. Love your videos, they are so motivational! As a total beginner I managed to stand stable on my pintail, cruise and brake with jump. Fell of course.. but my next goal is to master some simple dance steps. Regards from Austria!

    Starting to learn during Corona. The worst part is the ground though because the government doesn't care about it that much in our country, so there's holes everywhere ://

    Omg I'm glad I found you! An acquaintance of mine can't skate anymore because of her knees and I wanted to learn how to skate and she gave it to me, but I was insecure and didn't know what to do
    You're really encouraging, thanks a lot! You explain it very well too

    These videos are still some of the best I’ve found in terms of beginners. I came in pretty old - 35 years old! - but really enjoying the process and as rubbish as I might still be I’m encouraged I can get better..... even just cruising and carving around alone is a lovely feeling, listening to music and floating along. Cheers!

      @@theorangecouchproductionsr9658 is wearing vans even though you don't skate posing because I think they are comfortable and look good. I would like to get a board but I am more into music. That's why I started wearing them (warped tour) and fashion but I might want to skate.

      @@coltoncowan9505 oh gosh I hate this 'poser' toxicity. If you want to buy vans buy em they are comfortable and trendy after all. I do know some skaters that wear vans, the only problem with them is that they don't last very long.
