everyone says go to your local skate shop. I DONT HAVE A LOCAL SKATE SHOP. My small town really sucks
i know that feel bro
Me too ther is not one here
Same here there is like nothing to skate besides sidewalk
TJ you're lucky you even have a sidewalk.. I just have road. Plus it's just a bunch of hills ._. So I can't Ollie anywhere except like on my porch :p
If u go to the beach they might have a surfshop or skateshop, if u live close to myrtle beach they have one.
Even though I've been skating for years and I know basically everything I need to know about skateboards, I still love watching videos about skateboarding basics.
Nuzzi's voice is so soothing. ahhhhhh~~~~~~~
Yesss
Been skating for 8 years but I still watch these videos lol Brings me back to year 1 of skating which was fun as hell!

amir watels Aye CJ! Get in the ride, you drive😂
He didn't mention anything about how decks should be chosen based on rider height. The trucks and wheels change the amount of leverage a deck has. The shorter the skater the more they have to bend their front leg if the distance from the tail to the ground is too high. This can cause the skater to lean back too much causing them to kick the board forward or land on their back truck too much. It's harder because they have to bend their front leg a lot when they step down to pop with their back leg. Now they have to push the front of the board down a lot more to level it out. This is something NO shop employee or Spencer Nuzzi will ever mention because they don't have a clue. Who wants to trust someone who wears sunglasses in doors anyway?
Upload a video on it then! And don't hate on sunglasses. Sunglasses are awesome.
HA HA HA! Yes we will be posting a video very soon about it. Sunglasses are awesome, but it's never been cool in doors ever.
Good. Can't wait to see it.
A shop employee told me this when I bought my first set up...10 years ago. He had a clue, I have a clue.
why u hatin rat vision god damn
its funny how people are comparing board sizes and saying one is better than the other... boards bigger than 7.75 didnt start to become the normal size to pick until about late 06 to early 07... and really it is all about preference... i skated 7.75 since 2001 and didnt switch to a bigger board until about late 07... and yes wider boards are a little harder to flip but that doesnt mean theyre impossible... so just do what spencer says and just go stand on a few boards and see what fits you better before judging what others skate... because if you remember a little thing called dog town or z boys, then you know that they skated boards way smaller than 7.75 and made it work to their advantage :D

thx i did 2160 merlin twist biggest flip revert first try
Wow did you do a 360 fake 3 flip
yeahs
SniZZ Cray 13,37 isn't a real number 13,037 is tho
I skate street and I ride an 8.5 and I'm gonna move up to an 8.75. Honestly, I think the bigger the board the better because you have a lot more room to land on and you don't have to worry about trying to land on your toes all the time when you skate a mini 7.75 or 8 deck. And for flipping, it really doesn't matter unless you're the pickiest person on earth, i can almost get double flips without kicking super hard, and a bigger deck is wayy more comfortable and easier to commit to tricks.
How about everyone stops commenting their measurements and just go out to a shop and stand on some boards and figure out what they like.
I remember him so vividly!! Ive seen him many many years ago with those same shades on but i just never remember where
dnt know y im watching this been skating for 2 years
Thanks spencer nuzzi ever since i saw your videos you became my favorite skater and helped me learn tricks
I’m not watching this because i need a mew board im just watching cus Spencer is such a cool guy
I ride a 8.125. If you are tall like me and have a pretty big foot I would ride an 8 to an 8.25 for street. Size 8 is a little to small for me but 8.125 is perfect. You have to get used to it but after a week I land almost all my flip tricks first try. I am 6 foot 1 and have a size 11 shoe.
Dude I'm 6'1" and shoe side 13 lol
You should do one on the basics of skating a bowl
I love how we back in time from hardflips to making sure the board you own isn't a Wall-Mart brand board.
Nice job Ride.
He's So Chill?!!
I had a bamboo board it was strong as hell the Pop was crazy the concave was also nice

Plan on using this board for cruising and exercise. Might do tricks later on, but for now just for cruising around. What would you guys suggest?
Longboard
OohRush
Thanks :)
+Kristen Skinner Harpoon board is probably best
Get something roughly 8” with some 55mm OJ Keyframe wheels and indepenxent. the Keyframe wheels are softer which are better for pure cruising but you can still do tricks if you want.
8.5 --9 for crusing
Gotta love Spencer Nuzzi
I tought id be learning how to pick up my skateboard off the ground, this is usless!

How-To Pick Your TRUCKS- BASICS with Spencer Nuzzi please make a video abaout it
indys trust me there the only truck to skate I've tried just about all of them
TheCrowndClown I get that but i have a 8.25 board and i need to know what is the right length of the trucks
i skate an 8.25 and i use 149's but its preference you could get some 139s but i personally find those a little small
FallenFifteenHD I ride 8.375 and I perfer 8" or the 139s if you get indy's. Indy's have been the best and most durable trucks I've had.
Thank dude
I’m new to the sport and that was really helpful. Cheers
That last part was bullshit. Buy your favorite skaters boards if you want them to keep skating? How about buy your local shop boards and support skating in your area?
The thing is you are still supporting your local shop because you are buying that board at their shop.
Exactly
Shane Heyl got kicked off Baker cause nobody was buying his pro model. So it actually is supporting the pros too.
yeah i know what you mean man, but it can work both ways
SoulSkate808 You're Right dude!!!
I think spencer nuzzi is one of my favorite skaters because this dude is really good and I like the way he dresses he's pretty badass.

there is a huge debate going on between our group and each of us has our own say in it and I believe you are the right person to ask about this question. ok here's the situation, I (name: The disturbing) am trying to listen to one of my dear friends Sai and Asterof, Sai is saying "if you get into skating its best to stick with what I know and go with a regular skateboard from zoomies.", I said I'm not looking to do tricks, I just want a new way to cruse. Then Asterof bursts in and says "Then go get a sole skate or a rip stick if you wanna cruse.". I wish I could get a long board and be done with their bickering, but I don't have the budget and I don't know if its the right choice either for beginning. who should I listen to Sai or Asterof?
Spencer Nuzzi! :D
this legend is actually now my fav skater now, sorry P Rod, up the Nuz man
7.75 with steep concave. No-brainer.
Do you just skate flat ground or have feet of a 8 year old child? either way, decks under 8.0 is ridiculous and there's no room to land. I have 8.375 and I can still flip the board just as well as an 8.0, except I personally feel more comfortable with more room and bigger pockets.
TheMidnightTerrors"for technical pussies who don't go big and who like to skate flat-land"... sounds more like opinion then fact. grow up weenie. you've just accustomed yourself to skating 8+ because that's what everyone else skates now. I've been riding 7.75 since 2009. I bet i could top you any day.
JumboStevo You're choosing comfort over versatility. I chose versatility. I might as well skate a boat then skate an 8+.
The Anomaly and i might as well skate a toothpick than a 7.75 haha but everyone has their opinion
JumboStevo lmao true.
I've never really paid much attention to wheel base but I've always just preferred an 8 inch width by 31.75 inch length as it's a good balanced size that will more or less work well for me on anything that I may choose to ride,whether transitions or flatter terrain on natural street terrain.
8in is a comfortable ride for me too.
Everyone has a different physique regardless of height or weight,other factors such as the size of your feet can also come into play as well and that's why a standard 8 inch wide deck has always been just right for me. It's wide enough for landings on more difficult moves providing just the right amount of space for my feet and yet not remain too heavy of a deck to do what I like on it. Most of myfriends always liked decks that were just right beneath that width,except for one friend who wouldn't willingly ride anything under an 8.25 inch width,but he was a pretty big dude though,so I could understand why he was like that.
See im the opposite, im a pretty short guy with small feet. So I wont ride anything bigger then an 8 and nothing smaller the 7.8 (anything smaller gets kinda sketchy to me).
I was small years back and only stand at 5 ft 10 inches. While I was also skinny,I had pretty big feet,so that's why I stuck mostly with an 8 inch wide deck mainly for stability so I wouldn't stumble off the damn or drag my toes or heels. I love how easy flipping 7 inch wide decks were but it came at the cost of really sloppy landings. As for wider decks,landings were no issues,but the decks were normally heavier and made flip tricks require more physical effort than I liked.
Where is inFocus????
u guys could do a video about shoe goe, how to apply it n stuff
1000000 videos like this online on youtube...
i know how to pick my board, but still watching because its spencer
Are walmart boards good ?! Just wondering cuz im gonna start skating soon
No Walmart boards are not good but a board from a skate shop is .
No no no not walmart boards there FAKE sooo FAKE it's not real wood at all they brake in a week I know either go to active ride shop or zumiez brands I recommend : Plan B - Girl - Element - Baker - Revive - theses board brands are very good I know cause I work at zumiez & I've ridden a lot of boards
Yo Sam what truck size should I get if I have an 8.0 deck size?
And where do I get the trucks at?
Teh Rizen i would say a skate shop just google em to see where a REAL skate shop is & trucks i would recommend -Venture - Thunder
What was the Casper deck called? That thing is sick
insert copied comment about:

dumb question?
I'm a street skater and i like skating narrow decks with lots of pop and are great for flipping. What brand deck should I get next? Right now I have an element 7.75 and I like it but I need a new one
What company is the board next to the Casper on the left, the actual Casper board and the bear board?
I know you commented a long time ago, but I think all the boards except the birdhouse are Mishka.

Was that skate clip towards the beginning at Del Norte High school? That seems oddly familiar. (I went there that's why I ask.)
Dude's got swag. He reeled me in at with his first words.
Its personal preference im size 10 shoes and i can flip an 8.1" deck easily , like he said stand on the board in the shop and see what ots like
Nice job. 90% of this information was correct. The size variations were lacking a bit, but overall, this was pretty accurate.
I sk as te 7.75 with shallow concave.
Makes heelflips easier. All my boards are Elements.

What board size and brand is recommended for a beginner?
what is the deck on the thumbnail? that one looks perfect for me.
I'm looking for a board for park/street, but mostly park. I want a board that is not a Popsicle board but still has the capability of one. I would just like a little difference in the shape.
I see a lot of boards and clothes with a weird eyeball on it in your videos and I think they look awesome, what's the brand called?
Mishka
what is that board with the green on the deck that he showed? that one looks perfect
Thanks For The video !
Your how to skateboard vid taught me how to skateboard
I have a tony hawk and it is perfect I recommend it and i recommend a maple board too

Currently riding a 8.0
I'm unsure on what size to get.. Either a 7.75 or 8.0
I love this guy
thanks man it really helped
So fuckin chill and with those shades on😂😂
Makes alot more sense why i can barely get my ollies and other tricks
so is the tail the longer part of the board and the nose is the rounded part? or is it the other way around. i’ve been searching this up and i’ve seen videos with the opposite of what other people are saying
Thanks man helped alot!
At 1:27 he was skating at a high school called del Norte
I got a skate as a present when i was younger, but i think using it may make doing tricks very hard, and the reason is: It's made from metal, not wood... It's a lot heavier. Should i get myself a real board one, or just go on with this, because it doesn't make a big difference?
I would definitely get a real board
Good luck with shinners and primo
Spencer, I was wondering if concave boards could be damaged easier? I have concerns about this because I Ride what my friends call a "Walmart board." The reason I am concerned is because I can't remember how old it is, but it has a concave shape, and it has strange cracks on the bottom.

So I bought a 8.1 deck from polarskate. I'm quite at ease on it, but seeing the comments made me unsure if its a good board to hit the streets and learning flatground tricks.
Just reply if you think another size is better.
Ty
Same specs as me almost just I'm 5'9 I would recommend a 8 deck but I don't think you would see a difference with 8-8.1
AaronKJM ok thanks :)
I'm thinking of buying a cruiser longboard as my first ever skateboard, but how do I choose a board if I haven't ever skated?
That's my problem also
You pretty much dont need your specs for longboards / cruisers just try them out and pic witch feels right

Been riding 8.1 decks since I started in 2009,and even with my weight and height, weirdly enough I've never broken a single deck all this time (even now on my tallest,I've lost 40 pounds since last year by doing yoga and balancing out my diet and stopping beer,which helped a lot) even if bails are...ugh,painful but still lots of fun when I don't dislocate anything :"D
Is there a how to for trucks because I've been having random experiences. I've had good experience with cheap and expensive trucks.
okay i have this skate board which brand is tiujana and is not really heavy but quite a little from average and can you pls make video to how to pick up ur board even it's heavy ( the advantage is it's really strong
I'm surprised he didn't mention anything about shoe size..I've got big feet, size 14, and I know anything smaller than 8.0 is incredibly hard to control
Oh how convenient, I was picking out all the parts for a board last night, to put on my wish list lol. I thought he was going to go through it all though xD
Im sort of a beginner and I really need help. Im getting an 8.0 deck, but I dont know what type of truck and wheels to get. Im getting into street skating btw.
