Love these shoes! Swap between these and affordable Nikes.....if theres even such a thing 😂

@ I’m also tryna kickflip out a bank for my last kickflip of the year 😹

Hell yea man!! 🙌 Plenty of time to get it!!! I found that it's a bit easier to do tricks out of the bank. The ones I've done on flat are terrible because I can't bring the knees/legs up high enough yet. So the banks helps for now until I can start seeing benefits from box jumps and step up exercises.

🙌

Thanks!! I was terrible at street skating growing up, I could only do rails 🤣 while my friends did alllllll the flip tricks.

Thanks! Slappys are so hard-can't grasp the concept without lifting up the nose. Not enough curbs around to spend time on them either. I was super lucky my wheels held for the most part. Literally watched someone drop in, and with one slight weight shift-bam-straight to the ground. That’s when I was like, “Okay, I’m just doing a straight line back and forth.” 😂

Thanks, Simon! I was surprised to get the back 50-50-one of those moments where I let my mind wander off, and the next thing you know, I'm trying them out and landing one. Hope you have some downtime coming up and enjoy the holidays! 🌲

@ thanks mate, you too. Have a lovely Christmas holiday ✌🏻

Thank you!!! So much fun, great to kick back and enjoy a park with new friends!

Thanks! The indoor park was fun-perfect for staying out of the weather. We definitely all had a fun session!

Very spread out so hard to find the right flow here, but it does offer some unique obstacles.

Thank you Adele!!! Single digits this weekend with a bit of a heat wave later next week 40f (4c) 😂 Hope you have some great holidays and good skate sessions!

Yes sir!!! Thats my biggest flaw I need to fix. Getting the hips over the ledge and sitting on the nose. Think it's a confidence thing I gotta work through. I can do these with no ollie / almost slappy with the hip and weight centered. Just the gotta commit, thanks for tips bro!

Absolutely!!!🙌

Such a fun little feature! I think this is the second one I’ve done. It looks really intimidating at first, but after a few attempts to figure out the lock-in, it’s not so bad. Each time, I’ve worried that the back wheel would catch towards the end, but in reality, that’s not really possible. I’m always overthinking these things! 😂 The slickness of the park took a bit of getting used to, but luckily, I had somewhat softer wheels, so it wasn’t as bad for me as it was for one of my friends on 99s. He really had to work for that extra grip!

Thanks! Appreciate it! I can’t relate to many of the new skate videos or sessions unless it’s a beginner or someone getting into skating and just working for their lines. Seeing that kind of skating makes it more real and inspiring, like you said. Love the Nano Rats-they’re 56mm 93s, and they’ve performed really well on everything from crusty streets to a super dusty indoor skatepark recently. They have a super smooth roll, especially at the concrete parks I frequent. The only other wheel that comes close is the Nano Cubics (the red circle ones)-can’t remember the duros off the top of my head. Love those wheels too! I’d try the Nano Rats out, though, if you’re on parks mostly. Keep an eye out-I sometimes do tips videos for things I see others wanting help with, and rock to fakie is on the list. But yeah, try Nano Rats toooo!!!

Sure was!!! Hoping for some warm weather next week to get some outdoor park sessions in!

Thanks! Super fun, just a bit dusty-could use a regular mopping. Luckily, I had Nano Rats 56mm 93a (I think 39 wide). They held up very, very well, even when caked in dust. One of the friends had to switch out the harder wheels he was skating because it was pretty slick.

@ That’s what I found too. My softer 93a Dragons worked better for me indoors on wood ramps whereas my 99a Spitfires were scary slippery. 👊

@@Steves_SkateXplosion yep sounds about right! 99s are like ice skates in a park😂

Absolutely especially when everything else is covered in snow. Still couldn't believe it was uncrowded for a weekend.

Thanks bro! Spencer was killing it! Think at one point he was trying impossibles. Tried explaining late shuvs to me but my legs couldn't understand.

@ I need to roll shuvs first. Late shuvs might be a while for me. Looked like a good time though.

Spent an entire day doing shuvs. Hopefully, that vid might be up in a week or so when the holiday madness simmers. Super fun time-wish we had maybe one or two more indoor parks.

@ There are 0 indoor parks near me. Can't wait for that video..

@@ChongcoSk88 I got you 🙌

Thanks Wes! Love when I get to skate with other people, its like we're all kids again hyping each other up! Think slappy's are fun, didn't take much to start to get a grind. Wish we had more curb skating areas or places I could wax curbs.

These have always been a struggle for me, but this specific bank to wall-ride setup is just so forgiving. Lots of fun!

Thanks Scott!! Yea wasn't ready for impact of slippery wheels. Thankfully the bones wheels i've been skating held pretty well. Might brave the cold over this park in the future.

@@OldBrokenSkater I find you warm up quite quickly when skating. As long as its dry and not icy, outdoor parks are my preference!

Definitely warm up quick on the cold days, here the buzzkill is the wind. Outdoor parks for the win!!!

Yoooo!!!! Now I know you on the youtube 😂 Definitely hit the mario cart banana peel but think we all hit them throughout the session😂 still nailed the rainbow rail and thats all that counts.

Thanks!! I grew up skating transition, so it's my comfortable space, and most of that skating came back fairly easy. Outside of the bowl, I'm a fish out of water 😂 terrible pun, but I had to take it. Been skating a lot more flatground and "street"-type stuff since that's my weakness.

Glad you’re still checking out the vids!! Thanks a bunch! Keep skating and trying new things, especially skating switch. You’re super young and have lots and lots of time to develop some great skills. Have fun, love the sessions, and always keep smiling!🙌

Appreciate it!! 🙌 Will be chipping away at it and practicing the no-ollie and slappy noseslides. Been trying to find a nice curb around me for slappys-hopefully soon. Hope you have a great holiday and New Year's!!

Thank you!! Super fun session, been dialing back some of the sessions to work on more of the basics and balancing. This has made skating much more fun lately, hopefully will be sharing that footage in 2025. Hope you have a great holiday and New Year's!!

Thank you!!! Only way to be, always moving and living in the moment🙌

Thanks really appreciate it Steve!!!! Big wall coming 2025, my goal is to pad up and chip away at that sucker 🙌...on the days above 30 degrees 😂

@ Remind me, are you skating an 8” or 8.25” setup? I’ve settled in seemingly to the 8.5-8.6 range because damn the control is so much better than bigger decks.

Currently 8.8" on slappy trucks with 56mm Nano Rats. Really been thinking about giving an 8-8.25" another go. I think that width range is pretty optimal. Bigger decks are too 'floaty,' I’m finding. I’m 5'10", about 145 lbs, size 10 shoe, so while I love the float of the 8.8", I think it’s hindering a little board feel for me.

@@OldBrokenSkater Oh it’s wider than it looked on camera. Another skater friend of mine tried an 8.75 deck recently and he ran into the same thing. Big and floaty and lacking in control and feel. So he went back to an 8”. I used to think wider decks were “safer”, but on these lip tricks we’re doing I find the smaller decks stay stuck to our feet better so it feels more secure to me now.

Totally my opinion, but I think if you have bigger feet and are into kinda old-school boards or are just starting out, anything over 8.5 is great to learn on and start to understand board feel. Once you get used to skating, going down in width is super helpful. Again though if you have bigger feet then theres only so much you can size down. Definitely feels way safer! I'm sure you know-it’s less terrifying knowing you’re making it back over the coping because you feel the board in the right place.

Thanks Scott! Hopefully in 2025!!! Also thanks for getting me on to hippie jumps, my new favorite trick/skate workout movement.

@@OldBrokenSkater no worries hopefully see them on your vide soon?!

sure will like 2 or 3 videos from tomorrows upload, im like 1 or 2 weeks behind now. There not as exciting as yours though, I gotta work up to a chain jump😂

@@OldBrokenSkater I am ahead also, I've got videos ready now right through to new years day! 😁

😂 thought I was the only one, tough to edit and post same day when you have to catch up on the things you put off to go skate not to mentions kids running around dogs it's madness. I'm sure I'll catch you before but if not happy holidays and a great new year!!! All good things 2025!

🙌

🙌

Thanks, Wes!!! Better get out there if you’re in the 50s-that’s super warm 😂. Skating in anything under 40 is not pleasant. Feels like you spend most of the time just trying to get your joints warm. On the plus side, though, all those layers add padding for the falls 😂. Hope you’re getting out there!!! If I don’t catch you before the holidays, hope you and your loved ones have a great one!!!

@@OldBrokenSkater Compared to your location it's a heatwave lol! I am hoping to get out tomorrow today was still to wet, all my spots were washed out, thats okay tomorrow for sure stopped raining an hour ago and isn't supposed to rain until next week, so I will have more opps to skate!

@@VintageSk8 Get some!!!! 💪

Thank you!!! Hoping to get some transition skating "tips" vids out in 2025 to spread the love. Been figuring out little things to make ramp skating fun. Knee is doing good now, found a better brace to keep the joints happy. Now just gotta work on getting stamina up for longer sessions 😂

Thanks, bro!!! Wouldn't have gotten them if you didn't suggest them-thank you very, very much!!!

Appreciate it, Simon! We're making some progress!! I had Indys when I started back up again, and they just weren't quite the same as I remembered them as a kid. Thunders have treated me very well, but I just could never pump the high wall in the bowl, even with super loose trucks. The Slappys made it happen-guess they’re known for being turny or having more turn radius. I definitely love them from the bits I can tell so far. Still yet to try and kickflip with them 😂

@ that’s all the review I need mate.. sold! I’m sure you’ll be throwing down Kickflips no problems 👊🏻

I got in the sphynx shape, absolutely love it!!!!

@OldBrokenSkater i got it for my daughter for Xmas but secretly hoping she hates it so i can skate it

😂😂 You have great taste in skateboards. I couldn't find any other Purr Piles in a Sphynx, so I also grabbed the Full Moon just in case.

Absolutely can tell the difference in them and love how they turn on transition. Been wanting to get comfortable on that bench for a while-hopefully before spring I get some stuff on it. Heat wave coming soon again, above 30 this weekend 😂. Think I’m free Saturday early and Sunday all day, but I think the low Sunday is single digits 😂.

Thanks! It’s super high to me. I think I got one solid stall where, when I watched myself in slow motion, I actually put all my weight on the ledge with my hips centered. Love having footage to make corrections for next time. Hopefully, you’re getting some snow skate or skate sessions in! Also, I’ve watched the video you did on building your box like 10 times already and I'm planning to build one in the 8-10' range for the basement. Anything you wish you’d done differently or would change now? Other than giving the angle iron that roundish edge.

@ I’m really happy with the construction itself. After all the skating I’ve done on it, it’s still really sturdy. The angle iron needs some care at the beginning to get it smooth and slippery, but it’s worth it. That’s great that you’ll be able to go 8 or more feet long. That’s great sounds super fun.

Thanks!! Love the height of yours and the video you made shows to be fairly easy to make. Also love the insane amount of tricks you're doing on it. Thanks for the input!

Specifically for the iron… I used a grinder with a flap disk to get the metal smooth and shiny. Then I hit it with a scour pad by hand to sort of hand polish it. Best of luck. 👊👍

Great!!!! Noted, thanks again!

😂 I know! Within the first 10 minutes, I knew these are my new go-to's. That bowl is tight on the higher side, and I've struggled to get a nice flowy turn without picking my front up a bit to turn. I've loosened the Thunders to the point of wheel bite and just couldn’t get the flow. The slappy’s turn radius, though, let me get higher on the wall than I have before on the frontside-consistently too. I was super stoked to get a nice highline without feeling sketched out. Hopefully, it’ll lead to getting on the coping. Thanks, btw! I’ll be chipping away at that noseslide as the weather allows.

Thanks!!! I've had my eye on that bench/ledge for some time and tried it a long while ago, so I figured I'd start to revisit it. I think just chipping away with a noseslide and maybe a 50-50 will help me on the quest to develop a higher jump or better knee tuck. I recently tried to slappy a curb, and it kicked my ass-it was the first one I've done since I was a teen. Wish I could steal a nice long curb to practice just slappys. The box comes in super handy for grinds and slides.

Thanks!!! Been trying to put some lines together before the winter halts outdoor skating. Wished I could get a wee bit more speed of the wall coming back then another ollie, but I'll take it. Thanks again bro!🙌
