  • This video was Sponsored by Google as part of the #SmallThanks campaign to show love to local small businesses. We love our local skate shop and thought it would be awesome to highlight them in a video that also teaches someone how to pick out all the different parts of a board at a skate shop. For someone who is a beginner this experience can be confusing and overwhelming. We hope this helps you pick out the right board for you!

      I'd say that you should make a deal with your parents :)
      I don't really know how grading system works in your country but if it comes down to the final grade talk to your parents and make a deal like the shop does , if u are having financial problems talk to them before the year starts so they would have time to save money !

    It's very helpful but things you could have mentioned are:

    2. Talking about why someone would prefer one truck height over another.

    I started skating 2 days ago
    I’m 20 and I love doing this skating has become the best stress relief outlet
    I truly love seeing a community bonding over a similar thing
    As simple as just skating
    Thanks for you videos I think I might even invest in to my Local Community park just to see more people get out their on the skateboards etc..
    Ps I started on a target skateboard 😂
    But I got used weals through a friend looking to upgrade soon but everyone had just been giving spare parts here and their and it’s amazing 🤷‍♂️
    I will forever be a skater now 🛹 idc even when I’m 76 I’ll always be skating
    I hope to soon open up a Chanel just so I can donate money to make better a cooler skate parks.

    Great video man. So I’m probably one of your oldest viewers and just about to start skating. I was always more of a footballer (soccer to you guys!) when I was younger and just never had time to start skating back in the day. Now, with loads of spare time during the lockdown nightmare I’ve been thinking about what I’ve always wanted to do and really honestly it was to learn to skate. I’ll be teaching myself but these videos are incredibly useful for me so just wanted to say Thankyou.

I'm 36 like I said and with my injury being in my leg it makes it hard for me to be active so I'm like almost 300 lbs now and you make me a guy with a bum leg and way way over weight want to go out and get back on a board. My life as a young guy from like age 12 was to be a pro skater and it sucks I got that taken away but I love watching you guys and seeing all the new terms and tricks is awesome.

      I know going big might seem better but depends, if you want to do kick flips, Ollie’s, etc. I suggest a smaller width and if I wanna go skating down stairs or bars, you would need a bigger width for foot support.
