- Do These 10 Things Make A Difference In Skateboarding?
Today, were taking a look at skateboards and their parts to see how the various options can affect your skating. Whether it's deck size, wheel size/hardness, truck tightness, or shoe size, a lot of people ask about which is the best for skating. Learn a little info and hear my opinions on the matter in this video!
Also, make sure you checkout Skateboard Bruh and Rad Rat Video who I mentioned in this one for other awesome skate videos!

Changing the tightness of your trucks is like changing your sensitivity settings in a game
Accurate
So basically left them default and get used to them
Not at all
Alek That’s not really the approach of dedicated people, yet gamers
@@kcichon0944 I agree
I like my skateboard without the bearings, wheels, and deck! I just love grip tape!
That's just sandpaper
i also love sitting on the trucks and giving shock pads to my girlfriend
It's a magic carpet. Are you Alladinn?
So you only skate some grip and a set of trucks
Same here lol
Just Griptape and Trucks
Alright, nobody gunna talk about how he literally ollied without shoes, that shit hurts bro

“does the size of your deck really matter or is it just a personal preference thing?”
“Well it depends on who you ask.”
oh so it’s a personal preference thing
I often think changing my deck size or truck height will help my skating, then I watch a Braille video and someone will treflip a Casio keyboard and I realise It might not be my skateboards fault.
i skate 53s like him and wheel size def has an affect on how easy u can flip tricks, i prefer smaller now. as fas as risers go, i notice thedifference without them and i only use some 8th inch dooks shock pads. feels way smoother.
Lmao
BRAILLE!!!
First step is being comfortable on your board, if you think something on your board is uncomfortable then maybe you should change deck size or truck height
Its not the fault but these are all things that impact you.
But a very skilled skater can do more with a variety of boards/decks/trucks etc.
I was so waiting for a “deck size” joke that never came ... touché sir
"Never came" HA
That would be a little chliché
"Does the size of your deck really matter".
i feel bad for you sad
Size dosent matter😂
I just started skating again at 45 years old. The last time I skated previous to this was on a Hosoi Hammerhead, so that gives you an idea of how long the gap was between now and the last time I was on a board. Thanks for this video. It was super helpful for someone like me who knows a little bit, but has forgotten a lot too.
That's awesome man!
Yeah I was sponsored amatuerly by the local shop back in the late nineties long story short went into the marines 2 tours of Iraq didn't get to skate much now at 40 back into it I feel like a beginner again very humbled but determined to get back to it and even beyond.
You guys giving me hope i can start at 25 years old haha
Hey mate I'm 39 and back on the board after 22 years I suck again but when my sprained ankle heals I'll back at the skate park with my kids
but you can still easily buy one. lol hosoi kicks ass man. th might have always got 1st but hosoi stole the show

so am i the only one who lives on a street where boarding is impossible irrelevant of wheels
My street is bumpier than a motocross track after a race. We need lifeguard on the side of the road when it rains.
Same, cant even use a board with cruiser wheels. Fuck.
I live on a dirt road sooo...
"the tarmac is always blacker on your neighbours street"
I used to ride a bicycle for 10 miles to go to a place that had almost decent tiles. 10 miles forth 10 miles back, mind you. If you want it enough, you'll get it.
Get some Bones Rough Riders, just got them recently and they've seriously helped with the roads in my small rural town. They arent much heavier than any average wheel and I haven't noticed any difference in my pop.

Go forth and shred my young fellow rippa!!! 😎
I noticed the big difference with risers is that it helped less vibration get to my feet when riding on rougher streets which is a huge issue in my area
It is much worse in India. But thanks, I'll buy mine with risers

So I don’t skateboard I ride a wave board A.k.a. Ripstick but I see skaters all the time and your videos have been very informative. One thing I would like to add is that I think it’s awesome that you are comfortable and feel safe enough in the videos that you provide that you actually say “subscribe if you want”. That’s one of the things that drives me crazy about other videos is that they practically beg you to subscribe to their channel .. your approach just comes across as very cool and that you’re very secure in what you do. Thank you for sharing your knowledge I appreciate the content you share.

Very helpful thanks. I skated a lot in the late 80s on 10in boards. Lately all my joints are getting stiff and am thinking getting back on a board will limber me up. Thanks heaps, all inspired and am building a reisssue 10in board

@@4gerars500 he was probably using an old deck🤦🏾♂️
Used to skate so loose my friends called mine the Deathboard 😂
Too many scooter freaks where I was when I used to skate so needed the added agility to dodge em. I'd love to pick up skating again but do not bounce back as well as I used to. Two simultaneous wrist breaks shook me up lol.
I can’t tell you how many scooter kids I have taken out (by accident) at the skatepark over the years. They just don’t pay attention; and a skateboard can’t stop very quick when traveling at top speed. Lol
Skating is the best thing that has ever been put into existence. That's all I have to say.

disgrace.
@@cranberryjuice3998 hey no need disgracing him you dont what how he lives
Same
Same but when I improve on skating I'm going to get a better one
the trucks on walmart board can shatter
I have size 13 feet, and the only thing about that that impacts my skating is that everyone makes skate shoes too skinny
damn man i know exactly how you feel
Reynolds G6 all day.
Frontyard Tuning yea that’s more of a wide foot problem I am a size 8 and I have the same problem
Bro I wear size 16s, and I just buy DCs. Back when I did have smaller feet like you, I used to rock DC and Osiris. Those were my two favorites.
@ske romero back when I had size 15 feet, i used to ride an 8.25 or an 8.5, I think it has to do more with getting used to where to put your feet. I've got size 16 feet now and I ride an 8.5 still, but throw me on an 8.25, and I can do just about everything I still do on my board.
3:55 I got those trucks for my first board!

Honestly, whilst I like loose trucks in terms of steering, I can't help but notice there's a 'speed wobble' going on when going faster. So tight trucks for me it is!
Speed wobbles is how I broke my knee. Havent skated in like 10 years haha
@@ChadRockwell Yikes! That's terrible to hear man. But yeah, the speed wobbles are a real thing. I actually was longboarding with fairly loose trucks on somewhat rough ground, going very fast. Then I hit more smooth terrain, picked up even more speed and almost tripped over my own legs due to serious speed wobble. I had the foresight of not pushing a third time, but instead jumping on the board and find my balance and slow down first. Otherwise I would have slammed the ground for sure. Oh, and it was flat terrain. Just imagine what would happen down hill. Anyone hill bombing even lower hills is pretty insane if they're not tightening trucks. Did you ever consider skating again? Or is the knee so messed up that it's become a no-go?
@@PHeMoX Injury’s can be tough to come back from. I know I was never the same after after nearly snapping my ankle on a 5-6ft gap.. healing your body is one thing, but overcoming the mental fear of hurting yourself again is the other part of the battle that most people don’t talk about after they physically recover.
One size fits all doesn't apply to Skating. Everyone is different.
Probably more true for skateboarding than most other sports out there.
Just wanna say that today is my first day of skateboarding
And i skate very nicely....
Thank you vlskate and yt tutorials

Now I am skating only a year by now, but from what I´ve learned so far, here are my experiences: regarding deck size, I started with 8.38 and tried an 8" afterwards, now I am at 8.5
8 was definetely to small for my size 12 feet, when I switched to an 8.5 I felt that I was improving very quickly.
as for wheelsize: I began with very standart 52mm and then tried 55mm, nowadays my goldilocks are 54mm.
I switch betweem 100A classic shapes and 97A conical shape wheels depending on my mood and what I wanna skate. they both work great, the harder wheels obviously slide better, the softer ones prevent me from slipping out on wooden ramps and are much better for cruising down the street.
Bushings are very important to me actually: with my first complete came some tensor trucks, which had a double cone combo and they were really squirly.
I switched them for a pair of 95A barrel/cone and it was much, much better right away.
just lately I put on my very first indy 159 and holy shit what a difference. these trucks are amazing, they turn so well, I feel like surfing.
however I had to switch out the bushings right away, they were so soft, I got wheelbite the instant I stepped on the board.
switched the stock bushings for 94A barrel/cone indy bushings and now its awesome. dont overtighten you kingpin nut! rather try harder bushings!
what also makes a difference is concave. well mostly not, because 98% of decks you can buy have medium concave, so its not a big deal.
but my very first complete had high concave, combined with the squirly trucks, which were also more narrow than the deck (8.125 vs 8.38) that made for a really unstable setup, for a beginner.
I recently tried the old deck with steep concave again, but it wasnt right for me.
my feet hurt from standing on it too long and when I put my foot on it, the concave makes me wobble left and right unintentionally.
so my current deck has a very mellow medium concave, still not low concave, but a low medium one, which I find is pretty good.
overall I can tell from my short experience that you shouldnt worry too much about it, if you keep your mind open, you will find out what suits you best over time and that process I think can be alot of fun.
also yeah it doesnt matter that much what you skate, but how you skate it.
no setup will make me land that pop shuvit automatically and whenever I try someone elses board, whatever I can do on my board, I can do on theirs as well, only with more difficulty.
so thats what I think: the right setup for you can make things a bit easier, but its still skateboarding, so its gonna be hard, and fun ;-)
Thanks for this comment. Im skating an 8.5 after skating an 8 for years. The 8 was too little for my size 11 shoe. The 8.5 feels good but god damn is the board I got heavy. Ive been learning kickflips on it pretty well, but I just got an 8.38 board online. I just want to say I think height can be a factor in choosing board length too, I am 5’10 and do not have long legs. Most 8.5 boards are 32+ inches long, so I feel like my drag with my front foot is not as exaggerated so I cant level my board out super high very easily, it takes a lot of effort. My 8.38 Deck I just got came at 31.5 inches, looking forward to trying it out
Awesome and very helpful. Thank you.
Medium tightness trucks
Hard wheels for park and street
53 or 54mm
7.75 7.8 or 8
Bones reds bearings
That’s how I personally ride
7.75 or 8
DKL grip-tape
Shock pads AKA soft riser pads
Avenue Trucks/Indy Forged Hollow
I get any top brand deck on sale with concave of course
Bones 52mm-54mm 1 set for street & 1 set for skate-park
Liberty Oil (100% Synthetic) or TriFlow Superior (liquid form)
Powell Peralta Rib Bones Deck Rails glued on with Gorrila Glue
Venom SHR/ Khiro bushings (Medium) with homemade skate wax for less squeak & slightly better turning
Bronson Speed Co bearings or the Shiver bearings that come with SharkWheels or secondary Bones/Zealous
That has more to do with the concrete. You don't want soft wheels at the park, when they grip you get thrown.
same
I ride Medium tight Indy stage 11 hollows with bones bushings, Ricta Speed Rings, 8.25 Flip P2 decks, and Bronson Raw or G3 bearings.
I have a baker black and white 8.25" Board with tall white Krux trucks 59mm wheels they are Bones ATF Roughriders and Mob sketchy tank series grip tape. And Bones Reds bearings.
I’ve always leaned towards thinking that people will favor what they know or what they started with but can always adapt something new as long as your mind is open to it. Great video as always!
Chad Caruso Agreed. In 15 years the only thing on my setup that really changes is the deck. Started with mob grip, venture lows, 52s, and bones reds and that will never change but it is always fun to try someone elses setup. Sometimes you flip better or pop a little higher on their setup.
@@IDiggPattyMayonnaise Have you tried Bone Swiss bearings before?
EDIT: I had to comment since your name is Patty 🤣🤣
Straight information and all real facts right on keep it up great video
skate on asphalt generally and recently got softer wheels. best thing thats happened to me in a long time!
7:59 IDK WHY I JUST LAUGHED SO HARD LMAO
LMFAO
😂
PLSS THE WHEELS ARE BIGGER THAN HIM AND HES LIKE😁
Ahahaha
Good advice on the wheels! The weight of the skater also comes into play a bit, and I feel like nobody mentions that in the skateboarding community. In roller derby, it's crazy the variety in preference people have about their wheel hardness. At 120 pounds, wheels in the 90s feel to me how I assume something like a 101 feels for a 180 pound person. The best advice I got was if you don't know where to start, pick a range based on the type of skating you do and go low or high in that range according to your weight
I'm literally just learning how to push better and try out some kick turns and I'm already way excited
I love to see people try my board and hearing them complain about how loose my trucks is, and then watch them tic-tac while turning while I surf even around the corners with ease
Got a skater trainer ad

I live in a (relatively) small town on the edge of a big city. About 10 minutes away from my house, there was a small skate shop. I got a skateboard for around £30 and it’s lasted me almost 6 years, and while it’s worn down, I can still ride it.
Super informative for an almost complete beginner like me. I have been watching a ton of your videos the past few weeks since I just recently picked up skating! My Uncle who is big into skating heard that I was interested in picking it up and he gave me a board to start on! Thanks for all the great videos VLSkate!
Awesome, don’t get discouraged from falling as you learn. It’s something every skater (even the vets) deals with. But if you are patient and practice - you can get a lot out of the sport.
@@pat7917 Thanks for the encouragement man! I fell and hurt my hip almost three weeks ago, got back on the board yesterday night and landed my first shove it! It is so rewarding to learn new tricks.
@@Lanman106 Hell yea! I remember my first shuv-it back in the day. That is the trick that opens up the door to all the others! It is probably the most important flip trick because it’s the first trick that makes you realize what it feels like to have the board rotate under you. Once you are comfortable with that sensation - then all the other tricks will follow. Awesome to hear partner, there’s no greater feeling than landing a new trick!
@@pat7917 Thank you! Yeah, it feels like a good first solid trick. If you're catching air, flipping, or spinning the board I would say it's a serious trick. I think the usual thought process is to start with an ollie, but the shove it is so much easier and simple. I thought it would take me much longer. Landed only one clean one though, so I gotta practice it now until it becomes routine. Haven't been able to talk with any skaters in person really, so it's nice to hear from someone online!
Riserpads also reduce the shaking of the bolts, so you wont loose your hardware by vibration
No, nothing belongs between the deck and trucks.
so what ive learned is that it literally doesnt matter what you ride
Abec is the only one that doesn't matter.
ur really my fav youtuber i love ur videos! IDOL🔥🤝
me being able to afford only a walmart brand skateboard just wanting to ride: 👁👄👁
Ever since I started skating “old skool” boards(rn I’m riding a 10x30.75 14.5 wb and 60mm wheels), skating everything with my current setup has been much more fun.
does inside or outside wheel graphics make difference?
fractalife sure
Yeah if you ride graphics in you ride backwards
I thought some wheels arent symmetry, which is graphic in or out make the wheel's tread wide difference
I always skate mine logo out for a while then when I can see the shape is being worn down I will flip them logo in. I skate spitfire formula 4s full conical and ride mostly bowls and transition.
Yes graphics on your wheels helps them to go faster.

I never comment on UA-cam, but I decided to start riding downhill and street boarding at 33 years old. That was a year ago, so I'm really only watching this video to see if my assumptions are correct. The last point about shoe size should be discussed further, because a properly fitting shoe makes all of the difference, even if some don't realize it. One day I was wearing a perfectly fit pair of Adidas, cheap and simple. I've always worn BMX or skate brands, but never pushed the envelope on a board I friend put a board in my hand and we started riding a parking lot with nice transitions. Then he kept on me about riding for months. I was scared to ride in certain situation for about 3-4 months. Now it feels natural.
The fit of a shoe changed my world, because I felt connected to the grip for the first time, instead of my shoes begging me to stay on the board. I've seen the videos with kids riding barefoot, that would've never been me. If the shoe fits, riders are more likely to do well.

As a cruiser my first board (a amazon cheap kinda off brand pennyboard that still looked exactly like a penny just with the logo) had terrible bearings when rolling freely but I was surprised to see that my board rolled amazingly when riding and I recently got a longboard with better free rolling bearings and I really can’t feel a difference when riding 😂

You did a Ollie barefoot, you are my hero! I barefoot skate a carver on my concrete ramps for surf cross training, but am trying to learn to skate a regular board, so at least I know it's possible, but probably very hard for a beginner...

For someone like me, who is 46 and has restarted skating after some 20-something years, I find that softer wheels and soft risers help to minimise the potential for impact injuries. Skating is helping with my fitness and to help in losing weight, so I want to keep skating for as long as possible.
Soft Cruiser style wheels (85a) and rubber risers is what I currently ride on one of my set ups; the other is has 95a PU street wheels, but again with soft rubber risers.
As I remember Pig Rails, I have a set of rails as well.
haven't touched a skate board in 16 years but i still end up watching this.
