How to Pick the Right SIZE Skateboard
The nose is actually steeper and more full shape on popsicle boards. The tail is shorter and less steep, more tapered shape.
so helpful!
I have been buying lots of skateboard wheels over 2 decades. I have 55mm, 60 mm, 65mm and 70mm. Their durometers range from 78A soft to 101A hard. SINCE around 2006 I have been dissatisfied with the roll speeds of most new set of wheels that I purchased. So I started experimenting with mixing 4 different durometer wheels of similar sizes onto one skateboard. The results has been phenomenal and incredible! The increase of rolling speed and length of glide is very obvious! But it usually works with the softer wheels from 78A to 92A. The trick is that you need to rotate the wheels alot until you find the right place for the wheels so that it rolls the fastest. It's like you need to become like a wheel whisperer of sorts. Change a wheel take a short 30 second ride and repeat. This is what they call real world field testing. Always carry a skate tool to change the wheels on the go a carry about 6 to 8 different wheels of all similar mms in a backpack or bag. And give yourself at least 2 hours minimum to find the fastest combination. NO this is not a prank. Not many people believe this works even if they've never tried it before. Maybe that's the hardest part to get this validated. People need persistence patience trust and faith in the process to see it come to fruition. But once you get it I must warn you because it can get highly addictive. How addictive you ask? Well since 2006 till March of 20024 I have been doing this every week and I never get disappointed!! 😊 😊 😊 😊 And I don't think that I will ever stop as long as I can still ride a skateboard! ❤ 😊 😅 😮
Sounds like it would make a very interesting video
Best explanation, thnx!
Thanks Kevin!
Nice to meet you!
I'm 5'3'' with a 6 shoe size, so thinking about 7.75 or 8. Which is better for the beginner?
A Very Good Video ❤
I'm 5'5", 120 lbs, shoe size 6.5. I prefer smaller width boards because the length is shorter. It's harder to do tricks with longer boards. I'm a bit disappointed that skateboard manufacturers don't offer 7.75 in shorter lengths. Some do but I don't like the designs very much.
The smaller the board you learn things on the more precise and better technique you will have. So if you want a trick on lock long term go small enough it challenges you. Bonus is better turning which is vital on the street unless you're a juvenile ass-egoist. While learning less likely to do the splits or body by getting planted on board while balance off. More likely to stress ankles as foot half off or so far to one side the board angles and stalls. I prefer an ankle sprain to a hammy or body and if you ride enough your ankles will be strong enough to bounce back. 6+ cruising 7.5+ tricks 8.375+ stairs 8.5+ bowls 9+ ramps and now surf skates
Im 13, 5’0. I wanna get into skateboarding. Was thinking of getting a 8” or 8.125” size skateboard. mainly wanna use it for just riding around but also wanna learn some tricks. What size do you think i should get
8 sounds good 👍
its weird how big ass boats are now the regular skateboard I ride an 8, and I've had dudes ask me why I skate such a little board I'd bet in 5 or 6 years small boards will be the hotness again
I rode 7.75 for years and gradually sized up to 8.5 as my skating changed. Now I’m hovering around 8.25. But yeah I’m starting to see people size down now. Maybe as pants get bigger again the boards will get smaller lol. But in general I think there will be even more range with board sizes with different varieties of tricks and terrain.
@@SKATEYOGI lmao conservation of pants, if pants get bigger decks must get smaller and vice versa
Im 5,8 n like 170 pounds size 11 feet what Board should i get a 8.38 or 8.25 ???
Honestly not too much difference between those sizes but if you start with a a 8.38 you can decide for your next board if you wanna size up or down to a 8.5 or 8.25. I like to try little changes to see what works best
Your videos help me a lot but I am confused why u don't have many subs
I got told I’m goofy switch, what ever that means 😅
Im 15 but i wanna learn and i dont think its too late
kevin are you finished
What size board for a tall guy
Nice job
Thanks!! There are alot of videos telling you how to push but nobody tells the details you just said. Thank you very much this will help me alot :)
This is the most boring shit ever, whats fun about just imagining to ride? I would rather just skate normally in my room
What bearings do you ride
Which size is better for beginners?
Hi Kevin, So sorry. My cell is giving me problems. Off and on with.messages. If possible could you please resend both locations available 🙏
What's available for beginners?
Hi, Where is this skate yogi location? My son use to vist there. I don't recall the address. He asked me this evening to check out schedule for different age groups and fees if availability is possible currently!
Hello! This location is 140 Empire Boulevard in Brooklyn. We also have a new Brooklyn location at 58 North 9th Street. You can check out the schedule for upcoming classes here: www.skateyogi.com/youth.html
@@SKATEYOGI Ok great thank you for speedy response. I did visit Empire Boulevard location few times with him. Was gonna try a beginner class one day we were there but my back was bothering me. I will inform my son of the new location as well. Thank you very much!
6’1, 245 lb body builder / strongman with 10.5 shoe size. Used to ride 7.75 but thinking I need at least an 8’ now. Any suggestions? Skated in the early 2000’s, want to get back in to it. Mini ramp, grinds, slides, basic flip trucks. Are Elements still good? Loved the Fiberlites. Element always had great pop & strength.
Check out the Powell Flight deck. It’s carbon fiber reinforced so it’s super strong. For size I would say 8.25 would be good for extra stability maybe even 8.5 but that’s a lot wider than a 7.75 that you were used to. 8.25 is right in the middle so you can size up or down without changing trucks
4:45 anyone know the name of that board??? looks sick
SANTA CRUZ ERIC WINKOWSKI PRIMEVAL COMPLETE
@@SKATEYOGI still have it for sell??
@@BassGato not anymore but you might be able to find it somewhere
Ive had a hard time learning how to tic tac. Before this video i would only move forward a little bit, even though my balance was forward. What helped me get it was understanding the body twist, and noticing its the same as when we walk, in fact, i imagine myself walking when I do it. Before that I would do the twist in the oposite way. Now i only need to learn how to keep the balance and not fall after a few tic tacs :D. (BTW, any tips?)
Super helpful
Hello man I need help please reply🥺
Street/Tech style skating...Try a 7.75" ..then try bigger or smaller Deck widths depending on if your FEET are bigger or smaller.
I have a question, will doing these improve the outdoors skate, or just for fun at home?
This helped a lot, thanks! I like the way you explain things. Can you make a video on how to Ollie and then another one on how to kickflip?
Nice video, I am looking for skateboard for my 8 year old do you have any recommendations?
I’m 14 and around 5’3 in height and 9.5 in women shoes size what board would you recommend
Hi Kevin. I'm wondering about buying a 8.125 or a 8.25 deck, with 139mm trucks, with a 55mm wheels. Do you think I will have a wheelbite or is it ok 55mm? Thanks, I'm from São Paulo Brazil
What if you're a natural switch? Should I practice getting on both ways?
First time need to learn everything
Anyone else wanna learn to skate but every time u leave the house u get harassed by kids in the neighborhood’s? 🤡 don’t feel bad- I made it my downstairs neighbours problem.
Me who literally can't even stand still ok a skateboard, this is very helpful 👍🏼
I’m a girl, 15, 5’10, 140lbs and wear size 10 shoes. Do you think a 8’5 board would work? I have this one board i have my eyes on but i just don’t know if it will work out.
Yea u can skate any size you want there’s no rules in skateboarding , I wear a size 9 and skate a 7.75 but I’ve skated all sizes 7.75 is just what I like for my style of skating it’s what I’m comfortable on
you made it so complicated you were cutting it under the table i didn’t even know what to cut
i’m 6’4 200 pounds with a 14 inch foot anyone know what size i should do i wanna do like a 8.5 but idk if that’s good
im 5'8 5'9 125 pounds witch a size 10 shew i always had a 7.75 bored has a kid/teen im looking at getting a new bored to get back into skating i wanted to size up from the 7.75 so i just orderd a 8.25 element bored and im kind of worried i made a mistake going for 8.25 instead of 8.0 what do you guys think?
Hows the new board size working out?
Hey you know what, skate what looks fun and nice to you, whatever you want, there is no rules in skateboarding ans nobody will tell you what board skate, i was 14 and I started on a 9.5, i learned kickflip in few Month on this board (i had small feet) Skate is not about rules in sizes of skates, skate is fun, motivation and determination, thats all it is.
@@1aaallday509 great I've only done 2 flat ground sessions on it so far but so far the size seems to be nice not to big not to small
Heyy
Hi new sub. Here hmmm.... Your videos is great for me as a begginer ❤️
Braille says otherwise
About what?
@@SKATEYOGI joke
You can learn dropping out in College kids just wait for it 😉
Hi. Simply superb and awesomely simplified video .. most doubts of buying a skateboard cleared and made easy to understand. Thank u so much.
Nice video
I am still doing Tic Tac like a robot and too slow. If I move at all, I'm moving backwards. I keep on trying....😀
Same story here I hope you've mastered this since then, I can switch sides pretty fast but moving backwards, if I lean forward I don't move :D
