12:51 The session - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Just came back from my 3 hour session, did well, foot doesn't hurt anymore. I stretched, showered and now I'm watching this 35min episode while eating, thx for rounding off this perfect and sunny saturday!
Fr fr
living the dream
Literally did the exact same thing but it's Sunday lol
Ben is the Keanu reeves of skating
Thanks I think
@@bendegros yes, the people’s champ 🙏🏽
He’s The One
Neo Degros
No he’s the Ben Degros of skating
YOU ARE THE VANCOUVER CARPENTER! I was trying to see if you had a brother or something, thanks for the videos. You helped me jump to the hawk and trowel aaand slappies! Please keep up the great work.
This is a great video! I love how ben is always so honest and shares his feelings and every detail about the products. Probably the only channel I can trust when it comes to skateboarding products.
"am I getting tired?" 🤣 What an incredible session that was! I was glued for 35mins. Much respect!
I’m currently on the funnest board I’ve ever had, Creature Jawn Gardner shape, 8.8 w/ 14.0 wb, with thunder hollow lights, it’s so much fun
Dude I gotta say, you're skating better than ever in this video, like the Achilles isn't an issue whatsoever. And that dark wood grain on the anti hero is beautiful. I just had a Grant Taylor 8.5 and seeing this makes me want another.
I didn’t know that you got your stuff for free 😂 I thought you just had enough money to be buying all this stuff. Loved the video
I would go broke buying skate gear. Sorry kids, no dinner tonight but dads go a fresh board!
@@bendegros instead you just go broke buying shorts
@@bendegros nothing wrong with that! Kids gotta be independent some day eventually anyways
Maybe it’s free because of our support
He’s starting to resemble ALOT like Steve O too
We love the gear talk!🎉
Loved the long set up. The time stamps were a nice addition.
I figured the time stamps were essential on this one.
Tech talk is always appreciated. Thank you for the grip screw tip.💪🏽
Board setups are my favorite thing to watch, so this was delightful and my heart is full
Thanks for all the uploads
Made the switch to Quantum bearings this year, honestly super super underrated and have had the same set since March, still going super fast and good.
honestly. i had a session out when it was raining for a solid hour and they barely slowed down after, i cleaned them the next day and they're like brand new again. I've never had bearings that survived the rain like quantums have
Better than reds and super reds?
Ben Ross of gripping boards🖌 So calm and relaxing in your detailed narration and tips that I forgot I was watching a truck review for a moment there😅
Kader has always been one of my favorites, thanks for the review
Always love the gear talk.
Just as I'm researching them and the expert makes a video , magnificent!
Great video, favourite so far. Just a pleasure to watch. Appreciate your effort in making these. I ride the 8.75 version as I’m a heavier skater, but loved your observations and set up. Many thanks.
TY, Ben
and please keep'o showing us more & more merch!
Adriano's super cool to boot!
😎👍
Ben, I really love how meticulous you are when explaining little details of the skate. THAT’S WHY I’M HERE FOR!!! :)
Keep going and keep teaching
came for trucks, enjoyed some nice board set up asmr. thank you dad
The way you say "sorry" is like music for my ears!
Love the gear talk. Thanks for all the videos!
Love the gear talk. Need more 😄
So good Ben great past time, pleasure to watch keep uploading stuffs like this more session and set ups
Maaaan a few of those kickflips on the antihero deck were the kind that keep rising after you've caught them. Soooo sick.
Love the long-form videos! I think most people watch for the skate nerd talk.
Tip to anyone gripping a board: use the paper from the bottom of the griptape, put that paper on top of the griptape when pressing down to get air bubbles out. Now you wont scratch up your hands lol
Perfect video, love the gear talk! 🖤
Dood, you are the bob ross of deck building! This was so satisfying.
Good to see you killing it! Also if you're looking to make mob stick better I def recommend snipping off a corner and using it to sand down the edges of the top ply before applying (mainly around the nose/tail/pockets). I learned this as a way to stop mob from peeling during east coast winters but it works well in any climate 👍
Thank you soo much, finally truck reviews again ❤
One of your best videos ever 😍
damn bro, i can listen to you talk about skating for hours or watch you skate, love it! you are a great inspiration to me to keep skating forever. I dream of having a spot behind my house like yours, where I can skate every damn day. keep up the good work homie!👊🏽
I use the bolts and I like when the little circle of grip breaks perfectly and sticks the the end of the bolt
looove gear talk. love it. love it.
i have the venture 5.2 lows and they are my dream truck. i skated theeve and tensor for years without knowing how stable ventures feel.
That diy looks like a dream !
Love that you’re using quantum bearings. Love that Alabama is pumping out sick stuff for skateboarding still!
I too have noticed it’s hard to avoid getting a crease when gripping with Mob but I think I have it figured out now. Patting it in the middle helps when first applying the griptape
watching this board being setup is soothing my anxiety this morning. thanks Ben
Your pop was insane with the ventures
as a freestyler, I can tell you that spacers are a essential to keep the bearings alive.
Because in railstand (primo) there is too much pressure on the bearing without that spacer
Makes sense. I pretty much avoid primo like my life depends on it.
It would be the exact same with or without spacers. The inside cylinder of the bearing ( one that the axle goes through) protrudes out slightly from the shield. Spacers just rest on that. Unless I’m missing something I’m pretty sure it’s the same either way.
Damn Ben you really boosting those kick flips!!!
What a cool set up you have man!!!
The king is back!
Ben starts talking about wheel base numbers makes me instantly happy . lol
That Kickflip at 17:17 was HUGE
My favorite skate content creator because of all the specs talk
I’ve never steppeson a board but love skating and these types of videos
Truck madness returns!!!
the anti hero 8.25 x 31.5 is so enticing
Hey @Ben Degros! I discovered your channel and videos a few weeks ago when I first got 'back' into skating after a 10-ish years break. I've never been good at it, but I want to give it another try. My main issue right now is picking up the parts that I'd qualify as 'bang for the buck'. I'm 33, pretty much out of shape for a sport as physically taxing like skate, and have a pretty tight budget. I was wondering if you have already made a video like that, or if you could please do one, because to be honest, I'm not sure the parts I have in mind would be adequate if I'm back to square one, having to relearn pretty much everything and all. Love your content btw! 👍
Love gear oriented vids
Found my sweet spot with thunders. Gonna go up a size next summer
6:30 Its been so long since I’ve ridden ventures I had forgotten about the hardware location. As soon as you mentioned it I had a flash of PTSD of trying to take them on and off a deck lol
My brother and I rode ventures pretty exclusively for yeeeears. We always just used a wrench on the nuts. We didnt even own skate tool dont think til we were older hah
Great video!
I needed this
8:08 That looks pretty good, good tip!
Your tricks always look so snappy on Ventures
you are the skateboard version of camping with steve
Stealth Spot Skating !!! But Ben wouldn’t be having a step 2. 👌🍻✌️
Oh the madness! The madness is real people!!!
this was a great video, I'd love to see something about board selection with this level of board nerdiness 😅
I tend to buy Almost since they have good options, I can get steep concave, steep nose/tail and twin tail @ 8 inches consistently but would be interested in knowing what the other big board companies do for features and sizing. Don't know how many freemium boards you have sitting around, but it's an idea.
Thanks for putting out the great content, skating 20 years+ but only really just started watching skate youtubers and you're definitely one of the favorites!
Hi Booth, could you recomend a twin tail by Almost? I just spent some time to find one but could not from the internet.
@@taneltolsting2900 Any of the Rodney Mullen pro boards at your width, he rides symmetrical decks, or at least as close to that they might as well be :) Cheers dude
Hellyeah Ben, you Fs switch flip seems very better on that anti Heto deck!!! Amazing as always ❤️
I was stoked on that new Anti Hero 14”wb and picked one up for myself. I ride venture 5.6 also, my only concern for that deck on ventures is the short tail (6.5”), I’ve found that longer tails work best (like the primitive 8.25 shape)
ever try the April 8.25" ? I ask because I like the April 8.25" and I think the Primitive 8.25" is the exact same mold from BBS, but not 100% sure. It would be nice to know so I can find more of that shape in stock.
@@rmhfpv9225 yes. The April is almost the same but slightly flatter. Skate mental also uses a similar shape for their newer bbs 8.25 decks
Where did u buy the antihero deck g??
@@twobitt2222 skate warehouse and tactics both have it in stock. Look for the “misregistered eagle” 8.25 x 31.5
Where did you get the anti hero 14wb. I cant find it anywhere. Thanks for the help.
I got some with the same finish a few years ago and they came with the green bushings which i think are the best bushings in any skateboarding trucks
Also if you haven’t tried pepper grip it’s the best grip I’ve ever skated and it’s the perfect balance between mob and jessup and cuts so good
love your content, keep grginding! :)
"Truck switching Vortex" Haha , love ya man !
This was so good didnt even feel like 35min tbh!!!😁
Cool, i never tyed a screw for the truck holes, nice hack! or bodge or trick
Thiose kickflips on the anti hero board were gorgeous 🤤🤤
Ben you need to get a mellow Life board! I just got a mellow from Sam and I'm loving it.
Setup madness gets me good...
Yo your sons setup looks nice. I want to try some thunders.
Good shit today Ben, as expected. I know you may not recall specific people in the comments but I still have yet to actually skate. I bought a Canada skate shop blank out of one of the very first few batches and I spoke to you ig. I have RA and I've found some more problems my right hip is totally shot, ruined done. So I'm trying to fix it at the moment. What I want to say is your rehab and ability to skate after that injury gives me hope man.
I remember chatting with you❤️. I hope you find your path to healing!!!!
@@bendegros I have man but it's a lot longer road than expected. But I'm trying to remain hopeful.
Venture trucks are the best top of the line no arguements about it. Makes tricks clean and it fixes your landing posture
Thank you ❤
I just lost my board some theft took it from me, I have the exact same size 8.25 Girl board 5.6 venture trucks and 55mm Spitfire classics i really love that set up Its my diamond i spend my savings out off it its really my dream set up i wish i get it back or get my hands to that exact setup
a new ben degros vid never dissapoints
I have been dreaming of the kaders ever since I saw a screenshot leak on the slapmag venture thread… this video is perfect.
I also recently bought the 14” wb misregistered eagle deck. It’s perfect! The rest of your 8.25 setup is identical outside of the kaders… hopefully a shop near me will have em in stock
Would you sat 144 mids would with that deck?
Im 45 years old and really still prefer 14wb with thunder trucks. Around 31.6 length I skate 8" or 8.125 decks. Took a bit to figure out what works best when I started skateboarding again last year
That’s an early 2000 deck size ..I use it too ..but it’s hard to get a 8“ deck with a 14“ wb
@@robolinoschmidt8676 there are a few companies that have 8" deck 14wb but 8.125 is close enough.
Same here.
Ben is soooooo gooooood
Powell is releasing the all new X Formula wheels similar to Dragons but in 97A, you should get a set and review them.
free gear btw, you plebs. Oh and these stickers? _Trash_
Ben just felt like flexing on us today 😂
Dad shredding 🔥🔥🔥🛹switch Tre straight butters
Thanks son!
I love ventures
Same
Would love to see a review of the Independent Forged Hollow Mids if you ever get your hands on a pair.
20:40 that switch frontside flip was perfect
Stomped it too 👍
22:26 you stomped that one i could tell you were liking this 14" wb at first touch. XD I may have to keep my eye out for 8.25x31.5 decks. Last short board i rode was a 8.13x31 Rick howard semi pro deck sum 10 years ago but that thing BLASTED fs shoves i figure it was the shorter WB before i stepped up to 8.38x32 decks. Only trucks i currently have at that size are 144 mindy hollows. Or old 139 stage X hangers i could put on the 144 plates or some old 9 plates that will probably crack/snap a pin in its lifetime. BC thats just what they do. Ive been liking the red/big balls 6 ball bearings lately since i mostly ride parks they keep speed and are really good for transition not sure how well theyll hold up.
i feel like if you dont use spafers it just exposes your threading even more which makes it harder to put the nut back on/off when it gets worn
Oh no Ben’s gonna cause the kader trucks to go out of stock everywhere now, thanks ben
Omg babe wake up Ben just posted
I smell a new series, Ben's Christmas completes. "Today on bens christmas completes were going to frame this deck, then learn slappy hurricanes, and put together this twin tail ! "
You are alarmingly close to what I did today!😂
You’ll find out in a week or two.
great video, Im just commenting for the algorithym love your vids
honestly still tripping on how sick this backyard setup is in the tennis court
I know that sw fs flip felt good. ventures are the best flatground truck
had a set of ventures 5.8, swapped the bushings for bones mid whites. Loved the truck but changing boards was always such a pain due to the whole skatetool barely reaching. Due to this i wont bother again
I Still have setup's with Trackers and Destructos. God, I'm Old. 😆
I’m glad you get everything for free because trucks be so expensive plus everything else. But the catch is you get truck madness so 😁
Yup. Double edged sword
