How to Pump a Longboard / Skateboard - Vlad Popov - CodePink PUMP

- One of the best tutorials on a variety of skateboard pumping methods.
Vlad Popov is an accomplished slalom skateboarder who went toe to toe with Michael Dong in the 2000's on the cyber slalom course. I recently touched base with him about how popular this "Code Pink" video on VIMEO has become on pavedwave.org, and he shared some insight on a new tutorial to come. Thanks!
"So far, I've trained 23 new people in 4 months this year, and got almost 150
hours of training experience. We've shot some new footage recently,
and I'll soon put together another tutorial with all the exercises
people have to go through to get "from 0 to hero in 2 weeks" - John
Gilmour used to promote something like that on SlalomSkateboarder.com
a long time ago."

After almost 12 years, still one of the best Pump tutorial videos on the whole internet!
I just turned 53. I got an electric board about 6 months ago because I've had a bad knee for a lot of years now and can't kick push my old longboard without feeling sharp pain. After riding the electric for a while and watching skate videos, I came across this video along with some LDP vids. Vlad inspired me to learn to pump. I put a waterborne surf adapter on my old sec 9 longboard and was able to pump almost instantly with this video (and the music) running through my head! Now I have a G-bomb bracket board and ride 5-7 miles 2 or 3 times a week and just pumped 11.25 miles the other day! Side note... I can pump for hours with minimal pushing without any pain in my knee. I can't get enough all thanks to this old video. Thanks Vlad. What a teacher!
Same setup, except the reverse pin trucks on my sec 9 board won't fit the waterborne adaptor. Gotta get regular trucks, i guess. I'm super excited to try it out. 😆 Thanks for the detail on the joints. Hope you're doing great. Your review is excellent news. I'm feeling them start to ache and i know it's coming.
I am turning 59 - and have put away the electric longboard. Just need the Decathlon Oxelo upgraded with Carver C7 Trucks. very fun to pump! Many old aunties and uncles give thumbs up to fellow wrinklies on the move!
I gotta try my Carver c7 truck on my longboard.
Glad you can have fun again :)
I sold my electric one bc it was hurting my knees so I switched to traditional longboarding and it's help strengthen my knees ever since.
this guy's not only entertaining to watch, he's a fkn bullet on that plank o_O
This clip is 4 years old and still the best one to teach one on how to pump with a longboard, great thanks.
Juerg Maier make that 5
almost 7 :P
It was shot in 2008.
Make that 8
Make that 12
After watching 4 videos about how to pump, all of them shit, this one was very helpfull and you did not even say a word!! Big A, Thanks, keep on!!!
I rarely comment on youtube, but this is perfect material. I don't need to see anything more out of this man: he is a great teacher and i would pay to take one of his seminar
And, if you Carve on Snowboard, ask Him about That! "PSR"
I love this video - never seen a pumping guide with such clear and concise guidance.
I remember seeing this video years ago, and thought, "that's pretty cool." Then forgot all about it. Fast forward to last year when I got a dropthrough longboard for my 53rd birthday. Tried and tried to pump, but with only moderate success. I'd extend my time between pushes, but would lose more and more speed till I'd eventually have to push again.
Last week I got a waterborne surfskate adapter thinking that would be the magic feather. It wasn't. Stumbled across this video again, and thought I'd give it a quick go. THAT was the magic feather: decent speed and for the 1st time was actually GAINING speed. This after just a quick 5 min session before I had to go back inside to fix the family dinner. I can only imagine what will happen with some actual practice.
Thank you for this video :D
the most talkative teacher I've ever seen lol
dude is a pump master
Thats what she said
You own the road bro. Keep it up. U r an expert.
One of the greatest obstacles to learning how to pump is getting over the fear of how much of a dick you will look throwing your arms around like a drowning breakdancer while you ride a giant child's toy through the streets. Once you get over that it's all gravy. And if you can do it wearing pink then you have achieved Jedi level awesomosity.
+Johnny Parsnips Yes you can, you can use your shoulder too.
Skateboard is a vehicle, not a toy.
+arhiwall A skateboard is what you decided it is. Tell Jeff Grosso that his board is not a toy.
+pade nom It was answer to Gingahippy. You may use Your skateboard as You want, no matter...
This dude is Beyond Expert
I love how universal this video is.
still the best pumping tutorial in 2020
2022
2023
who jus started longboarding and is here lookin to learn how to pump?
Michael Gabucan yeah me
I been longboarding for years just never learned to pump...n what board is that...my friends said my board is not right to pump
@@phillsflychannelThat dude is ripping but I think he is on something with skinny trucks like a slalom setup I think that is half the story. I carve more than pump but I have grown up with big trucks which is great for stability but not so good for pumping.
yep just happened on this after building a skateboard with revenge truck front and rear truck standard with matching thick hieght raiser on a cutdown paddlepop board. After testing I was closest ever to pumping any board with that setup. It looks like smaller trucks may help as well.
Meeeee ive been trying for 5 days now.
This made pumping uphills seem fun.
Thank you so much! I was looking for a proper tutorial on pumping and your video is just perfect! Fjrst I learned the first pumping technique on my cruizer longboard (around 33" long) about a week ago and today I learned second and third technique on my commuter/carver longboard (40" long, 30.5"wheelbase). Starting to go faster, now I can pump at a speed of up to 21km/h. Thanks! :)
Nice!
The day i master this i will be proud to say "Vlad Popov" taught me,, :)
1000 лайков, наконец-то то что искал. Эти профи уже задолбали с основ стойки, поворотов и сразу к трюкам... А здесь именно пампинг, как только не искал, Ура!!! :-)
Best instruction video I've ever seen. This has me so excited to practice!
I remember seeing this video soooooo long ago and it was the first video that actually made pumping click. Its so cool seeing it again after all this time
Really brillant. By far the best video on learning how to pump. There's so many crap around but with this one you really get it. Thanks a lot!
that waving in the air with your arms looks kinda ridiculous.. but damn he gets fast with pumping o.0
Still the best video ever made about pumping, enjoy watching again an again !!!! Thank you so much !
Dang i can see myself doing #1 and accidentally slapping someone on the face lol
combine those, and you will be UNSTOPPABLE!!
SLAPPING MASTER!!
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your skills.
one more comment because I am really happy. Thank you for putting that material online, as a kid I always wanted to learn how to go as long as possible with my board without kicking the ground. This video and the links are perfect for me, within 20 minute I went from knowing what I wanted to learn to knowing how to say it with words ( pumping) and finding great material...MERCI!
Vlad popov you are amazing, thank you for the video !
feel so happy every time after watching this vid, i really like it,and i learned a lot,thx u !
Excellent tutorial, this and Vlad' links on 'pavedwave' have helped enormously :D
i like how the second song came in when he was demonstrating the 4th pump. :D
I had the great opportunity to skate with Vlad for a while when he was in the US years back. VERY funny guy. Yet, very committed to his skate craft.
Fast as hell on the slalom course.
For those that think pumping looks funny, watch some slalom skate vids.
WHOA. Probably the best video that explains by doing instead of saying! I love it!
I was thinking of buying an e-skateboard until I saw this!! Vlad, you're a "GUN"!
@gingahippy -- agreed! i'm stoked Vlad was cool about sharing it out. people have been asking for "how to" video for years and he's nailed it.
Still the best training video, thank you Vlad!
Это лучшее, что я видел!!!!Влад ,спасибо огромное, придумано и исполнено великолепно!!!!!
Excellent, great video very useful teaching with good music... many thanks
Just started longboarding and this video was probably the best video to learn how to pump
That's some crazy speed! Awesome video.
goes to show; actions speak greater then words!!!! ive watched a few pumping vids and been totally confused as to what to do from all the stuff they say!!! with this vid i had learnt what i needed to by 30 seconds into it! thanks man! awsome!
Great vid, actions speak louder than words! Learnt to pump from this and great tunes too 👍
This guy is so fabulous, I can't even * *-* *
Holy acceleration! Especially with the 2nd technique.
I happen to know Vlad [DC Crew baby!!] and he is a fast skater. The flailing arms thing can be tricky to pull off and make look cool. I like to think I have it down with my own style and when Vlad is on full Death Ray running cones he looks like a shark heading for a baby seal. When did a slalom board become a longboard? I was in a comic shop not long ago with my Turner in hand. It has a 16 inch wheelbase. That's tiny folks. The gal at the counter said "Hey, nice longboard". I said :What's so long about it?" I explained it was NOT a longboard and she insisted it was since I had the "Jelly" wheels on it. I had no idea Smuckers made slalom wheels. It has a set of Tunnel STR Tarantulas on it. I finally let it go and continued shopping. Yes, I was purposely misunderstanding her, but I get this a lot when I skate my slalom boards which is almost all of the time i skate. I often skate down to Fells Point here in Baltimore to get excercise and other skaters give me the oddest looks when they see what I'm riding. The comments range from thumbs up to, what the hell is that? I even let a kid try it and he tried ti kick flip it!!! Which pissed me off sine it was a vintage Turner cut-away Sims team board that I bought off Ed Economy. Let's raise slalom awareness.folks.
Skate on Vlad!!!!!!!!!!
The only reason I titled both 'longboard' and skateboard is so more people searching will find it (its in the tags too) Would be great to meet Vlad at some comp. I only heard tons of stories about him from Michael Dong, when they were going head to head on the cyber course in early 2000's. Both are beasts!
pavedwave I didn't mean you the original poster. Sorry if it came off that way. The public in general is what I mean. No harm meant.
Robert Frias not at all!
pavedwave At some point I'll find some pics of the DC Crew during the reemergence of slalom and post them in my pics section. Don't forget to find your tattered old copy of Concrete Wave Vol1 Issue 4 and read my article on the DC Crew and the resurgence of slalom skating. Alan Gelfand is on the cover.
Great pic Vlad. I hope everyone is still skating. I know I am. Happy New Year.
Beste Anleitung fürs Longboard Pumpen! Danke dafür!
0:57 imagine being in that car and seeing him doing that
Love this guy! Best video to teach you how to pump.
Nerf this mode, it's obviously OP as fuck.
Brilliant stuff,love it !
what a talent, a for sharing it, a bloody nice Guy....
Old video. But it simplified things so much now.
I taught myself how to pump after watching one of my friends do it literally a day before he moved away based off trying to copy his body movement and just tweaking my board. I ended up with a combination of method 1 & 2 but it works well for me because i can stay pretty loose and relaxed, and really put my weight into every movement. But without the exaggerated arm movement that are used here for teaching.
I had my first day with a longboard today , trying to pump after weeks of surfskate....
This tuto is very good.
Mastered the pumping skill today! Great video! Thanks from the South Africans!!!
Best vid i've watched yet. Thanks it helped alot.
Coolest guy ever!! Should have twice as many views.
Music is also pure gold!
Man, you are the best.
пожалуй это лучшее пособие по пампингу которое я только видел, благодарю
rock on pink bullet..
thanks for the tips
Yes very great video, he exaggerate the mouvement to make us undestand well. Great job sir :)
great video love it thank you brother.

2:12 The "Stacey Peralta" perfectly executed. x
This is absolute gold! Pink gold! :)
excellent clip. thank you
Dude that’s was sick 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Tanks! You are Amazing!!!
@SuperWappie - get the 5.0 for front and tracker or seismic in back for starters. read up in the pavedwave forum for the rest!
At 2:46 he does this kind of boxer`s tuck move that`s effing cool.
Отличный урок!!!спасибо
just AMAZING !!! Tks Very much Tks Very much Tks Very much
i shared this video with all my friends. thanks.
Definitly one of the best vids :D gonna try pump#1 and 2 today :D
Great video!
Wow, so quick!
Thank you!
I remember I used to think this video was so cool when I first started longboarding and now I look back on it this all easy stuff that came to me naturally during my time skating , I didn't even realize I do more the 3 or 4 pumps then I watch this video and see that I do them all.
This guy rocks it!!!
As a longboard noob, I need to congratulate you, sir.
Amazing skills!
Bravo pour cette vidéo!!!
Pink!!! I love this song♡
All jokes aside this is an awesome way of showing how it's done
Very good video!
Excellent!!! Bravo!!!!
Спасибо! Мне это видео помогло научиться пампить. За время его существования других российских обучалок не появилось ( не любят НАШИ делиться секретами мастерства). Да и в сравнении с иностранными оно остается лучшим... зажигает, увлекает и заводит, побуждает подражать, и это благодаря харизме исполнителя!
Спасибо за видео! Я только начала кататься)
И как успехи?
Great video, I love pumping myself
De loin la meilleure video pour apprehender le pumping! Et la musique trop bonne ;-)
best video on ldp ever!
Magic
super !!! merci !!!!
Merci Vlad pour cette chouette démo. +1
Еще в далеких 80 х , купил советский скейтборд, даже не помню сейчас его характеристики, катался 1м способом который Вы показываете! Благодаря этому видео заказал себе лонгборд икарус!
БОЛЬШОЕ ВАМ СПАСИБО !
Как вам икарус в итоге?)
@@egor9526 не оказалось 1го флекса и в итоге взял loaded vangard. В целом всё устраивает, дека выше и амплитуда прогиба соответственно тоже больше.
@@runo9803 с декой никаких проблем не было, например трещин?
@@egor9526 нет....может и какие-то микротрещины и есть но визуально не видно. Я в принципе катаю без фанатизма, прыжки или удары об бордюры отсутствуют...
made my day!
lovely!
Good instruction style
Love the music transition at 3:46. The second song, don't know the name, sounds amazing and his often quirky movements makes it so much more fun to watch.
Розовый вечер by Yuri Shatunov
Making honor to this video !!!
очень хорошо.
спасибо дружище.
