We talk about what makes a good coffee shop, old skate videos, designing a custom shape with Deluxe, Ben's sobriety, being a guest on The Nine Club, how to keep progressing as an older skater, and how he has paved his own lanes on UA-cam. www.adjacencybias.com

Sounds like one of your left turn signals lights is out.
“There’s history in the chunks.” ❤️
I’m a young nurse and have been a skateboarder most of my life. As I’ve reached my young adult years, Ben has been such a huge role model for me. Him balancing family, health, work and his passion for skateboarding is such a huge inspiration for me. I thoroughly enjoy listening to him speak about life and skateboarding. I look at him and see myself in the future. I love this dude and have been watching him since the beginning of his UA-cam career while I was in college/ nursing school!
Hey man I love the video, but can you please drop the locations of the spots? I'm in the Vancouver area and need to find more cool skate spots! Thanks
What shoe is Ben skating when you are at that park with the long ledge?
This awesome!
Thanks for watching!
Love this
Appreciate you!!
what he said about the weather and maintaining skate tricks is so true. When I moved to Van, I skated maybe twice in the first winter, and then over compensated by skating so much in the summer and pushed myself that I got injured all the time.
We're based in Washington state, so we can relate as well!
Learned tres at 34, back smiths at 37, and hardflips at 39. It's never too late to get better.
Hell yeah! Learned Tre's a few years back (at 30), but still can't hard flip yet.
i like the closing segment, when at the last minute, he gives a heartfelt speech. when nothing else motivates you quite the same anymore...u just gotta get out and roll anyway u can!!
Yeee!
Nice profile. Found this guy recently. Love it!
Thank you 🫡
I’m not 100% sure but touching the new tail light bulb with your fingers can deposit oil on the glass and cause a hot spot on the bulb and can possibly burn out more quickly.
Hell yeah Ben ✊🏾
Love ya Ben, but you’ve got a light out (fast blinker indicates dead bulb)
You gotta watch further lol
@@AdjacencyBias I commented before I finished the vid (need to get better at that haha)
Bannerot severely underrated
Right?! Modern day cardiel vibes with the raw power and transition skills but with a little more tech capabilities
top 3 fav carpenters of all time
This guy is my favorite person on UA-cam. I learn about skating and dry wall skills from him.
Funny, I found Ben's channel last year and started skating again for the first time in 17 years. Broke my ankle almost immediately. Back on now and riding my first goldilocks setup. Thanks Ben!
Glad to hear you back on it! 🫡
First vid ever watched and you nailed it. Watching these warm up clips at classic spots rejuvenated me to get back out to me area and have some damn fun
💙
Cool video G
Ben’s description of what skateboarding does for you is the truth. He always says exactly what I’m thinking
best video ever
14:38 oh god, knight st bridge commute ptsd

Vancouver sucks. It takes forever to get across even if there's no traffic.
Come down & try Seattle to Tacoma in rush hour 🤣
Vancouver is nothing compared to the Seatac area😅
@@bendegros Well god bless, as long as you can make it work!
Lol i was thinking his blinker was out with the double fast clicking
How is the man driving
I feel like this would have been way better if you had a Red Dragons hooded with Red Dragons jeans and some Red Dragons stickers on your board….
🐉
The switch nose grind did it for me. I haven't seen Ben do that one.
first try too!
Set up interviews plz father Ben
Bonus content how to replace a rear lightbulb on a Ford F150!
😂
Just got ten years sobriety yesterday! Also my birthday haha. But yes I do still smoke pot lol. Ben’s an inspiration
Happy birthday!! 🎂
one of the many hidden gems in the lower mainland tehe
Ben's got me wanting to skate Venture Lo's for the first time since like 1997 lol
Really love that monologue at the end. Good stuff!
first I heard of you was through Gifted Haters channel and then much later on 9 Club
on the topic on maintaining skateboarding. I started sleeping on the floor with minimal padding, a side benefit is that falling while skating doesn't really hurt anymore. The body adapts to lying on a hard floor. I didn't expect it happening. Don''t really know if it helps, as I am the only one around me who does it. If anyone is eager to try it out, be aware that the first 3-5 days are a bit of a struggle. Gets way easier after that
Not just a skateboarder nor carpenter... He is a father figure and a person of incredible integrity that's becoming so hard to find on UA-cam. He is a person skateboarding industry deserves.
Good production amazing vid
Thank you! 🫡
So great to hear Ben talk. He has such a nice mindset and is an inspiration to me as a 48-year old skater 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Ben still so good!
moja and prado got the rocket fuel
Prado was solid! ☕️
Haha, I used to be a delivery driver for Moja when they were only in NV - shoutout Andrew!
Ladies & gentleman, MR. BEN DE GROS
My partner and I bought a fixer upper home last September. One of my fav things to ever happen after buying our first home is when we were working on a drywall patch in our new garage and she pulls up a video to show me on how to patch the hole and it's a Vancouver Carpenter video. I was like "babe, that's Ben." and she let out such a happy belly laugh and said "Oh my gosh, I knew i recognized him! He's the skate guy you always watch!" Shoutout Ben for the front crook trick tips and also our go to source for new homeowner home repairs.
Haha yes! We found Ben originally from a drywall tip video as well, wasn't until way later that we found his skate channel!
Ben is rad
Great dude, happy to buy nb knowing Leif’s behind it.
100%
2:06 I noticed the same thing with power slides on certain ground too
Enjoyed watching
Glad you enjoyed
It's funny to think that ramp would allow for tennis but an extra foot wouldn't. That ramp is already super in the way for where you'd stand playing tennis. Looks like a perfect setup though.
Still waiting for you to finish the mini ramp build video!! IF you can get on that I am looking to build one in my backyard when rain quits.
build us one when you're done ;)
