Hey great vid, Im 45 years old and has been about 15 years since I last skated vert, although its never stopped calling me. Im currently in the process of setting up a new deck and watching your vid has echoed alot of important factors as far as taking it slow and getting to know my new ride first to avoid any major injuries.😐
I don't like super slippery wheels. A little slippy is okay but I prefer a little more grip for alot safer ride. Mob griptape is super grippy but too sharp and hurts the skin hands and can cause alot of what is called shark bites when the edges of the griptape saws into your shins when you bail. I sand down the edges and the nose and tail areas whereever you grab to pick up the skateboard. This really helps alot to save my skin especially my thumb print areas.
The new deck looks so good man! You put it together nicely. Im looking into getting a new board so wanted to hear some vert opinions. Have you gotten used to it by now? Do you prefer it over the street deck?
I’ve noticed you don’t use rider pads with the 60mm wheels?! Did you notice and wheel bite? Or any tips on avoiding wheel bite? I prefer a lower deck but I’ve also had terrible wheelbite in the past mid ramp lol
That sticker bomb job it sweet. I was doing a similar 1P based 1 but i was afraid the grip tape wouldn't stick to the stickers...i ended up transferring the whole sheet to the bottom were it'll get destroyed... Have you had any issues with it peeling up?
Dude, I'm sure the carpet it's filled with sand from the grip tape, did you vacuum after ? Nice video, keep up! Edit: try using harder bushings on your truck, if you interested.
Good video! I'd like to know what wheelbase you are running on your setup. I've looked up those route one decks and they say they are 14.25. Seems a little short for vert?
Hey Lewis, just checking in and wanting to hear how the griptape has bene holding up; I've been hearing the MOB Griptape loses grip over time pretty easily. Great set up video!
Hey mate, the mob has been great so far. I've never had the issue of mob losing grip really - maybe with the free griptapes that stores usually provide but I wouldn't worry too much about it, even with jessops you're pretty safe!
Without these hacks life on a skateboard can be at times difficult and frustrating. You might start slamming your skateboard to the pavement like the boy outside the Liverpool skatepark in the video.
i started skateboarding about a month ago bought a complete complete deck, 8 inch 53 mm wheels and I wished I just saved my money. I only got into skating for vert and transition, not really interested in being able to kickflip yet, used to be able to heelflip when i was like 14 but that was a long time ago :D on my 8 inch deck when my toes touch one side like 1/3 of my shoe is of the board. so I am going to setup my own board, 8.5 inch 56 ml wheels and indy trucks, what size are the indy trucks im looking for if i want the wheel to be equal with board ?
There are alot of secret hacks in skateboarding that can only come to you by decades of trial and errors. But thanks to the internet other skateboarders can share their secret hacks to the world.
You mentioned speed wobble...What’s you opinion on Indy stock bushings? I’ve just gotten my first pair of Indys and no matter how tight I do my trucks I find them so soft.
Buy some black Indy bushings. They're the hards. I'm guessing you have the orange bushings which are mediums. I skate the hard and can still street but am a lot more stable for vert.
@@jordanbowey4175 I ended up getting Bones Hard bushings and they started off great and now even they feel soft. I’m starting to think it’s Indy Mids that are the issue as they don’t seem to tighten as much as a normal kingpin. I will be trying Indy hards though at some point.
@@McBride996 my personal experience with the bones bushings were they broke down really quick. I've had a good experience with the indy bushings in the last 4 years of skating them. I'm sure there's other brands that also do good or better bushings but I lack the experience with them to suggest them.
a guy at my park said shoe size determines board size. when i said "thinner board for street and wider board for vert" they looked at me like i was an alien
It all comes down to preference at the end of the day but thinner boards are definitely more ideal for street because it's going to be easier to do flip tricks (less effort) and wide boards give you more balance for fast speeds like you would experience on vert. Bigger shoes sizes are also more suitable for bigger deck sizes but again, it just comes down to feeling comfortable

That route one deck looks clean.
Clean and shiny

8.75 is a great size bro ive been skating it for months and its amazing 🔥
this guy needs more subs
When you can't find a bigger knife to cut the griptape with LOL hahah
The new deck looks so good man! You put it together nicely. Im looking into getting a new board so wanted to hear some vert opinions. Have you gotten used to it by now? Do you prefer it over the street deck?
Great channel and nice breakdown on the setup!
Cheers! appreciate the kind words :)
Sick video it’s crazy that kader skates 8.75 regularly
I skate his 9 inch deck Nd the only teick i mostly lost are treflips. Gained countless more tho
Wouldn't recommend 60mm wheels without risers.
I’ve noticed you don’t use rider pads with the 60mm wheels?!
Did you notice and wheel bite? Or any tips on avoiding wheel bite?
I prefer a lower deck but I’ve also had terrible wheelbite in the past mid ramp lol
Nice video man
Keep it up dude sick vid
I ride 159 independent trucks and i love them
Very sick griptape
That sticker bomb job it sweet.
I was doing a similar 1P based 1 but i was afraid the grip tape wouldn't stick to the stickers...i ended up transferring the whole sheet to the bottom were it'll get destroyed...
Have you had any issues with it peeling up?
You don't need risers for the trucks with that size of wheel?
Possibly if I was to skate my trucks super loose but because it's for vert, my trucks are extremely tight!
Dude, I'm sure the carpet it's filled with sand from the grip tape, did you vacuum after ? Nice video, keep up!
Edit: try using harder bushings on your truck, if you interested.
hahaha, maybe a little bit of sand.
Good video! I'd like to know what wheelbase you are running on your setup. I've looked up those route one decks and they say they are 14.25. Seems a little short for vert?
Thanks for the video man. Sub.

Great video! Where is the ramp? Is it near Liverpool?
Ah, never mind. I figured it out: Blackpool.

DBZ grips nice
Did you retire the setup? If so, did it last longer than the street setup? Thx.
Still going strong and using it on vert!
Nice video congratulations! Would you suggest the same setup for riding a bowl?
a concrete bowl, sure. A wooden bowl, I'd go for softer wheels.
@@LewisFarley Thank you!!!
No gnarly wheelbite without risers at 60mm?
My trucks are insanely tight for vert
i started skateboarding about a month ago bought a complete complete deck, 8 inch 53 mm wheels and I wished I just saved my money.

149mm is 8.5 width

Such a sexy board overall

8 or below for street?
I skate an 8.5 for street, all just preference really
What park is that where your talking about slamming with sloppy wheels?
Thornton, Blackpool - called air skatepark
@@LewisFarley cheers dude il look into it, went to ramp city today not been in years was a good time trying to get the daughter into it
@@tomhelps5403 Ahh good stuff, the park has seen better days unfortunately but hopefully you guys still enjoyed it!
@@LewisFarley yea not much changed from the days me and the boys went but the mini is still sweet
PROB HEAVY DUE TO STICKER ADDS TOO
There’s no vert in GA 😭
Vert and transition is the same thing
Vert is Vert, transition is every ramp that has transition; implying half pipes and mini ramp.
