    Good to see you killing it! Also if you're looking to make mob stick better I def recommend snipping off a corner and using it to sand down the edges of the top ply before applying (mainly around the nose/tail/pockets). I learned this as a way to stop mob from peeling during east coast winters but it works well in any climate 👍

    as a freestyler, I can tell you that spacers are a essential to keep the bearings alive.
    Because in railstand (primo) there is too much pressure on the bearing without that spacer

    • @bendegros
      @bendegros  Рік тому +7

      Makes sense. I pretty much avoid primo like my life depends on it.

    • @chewinhard4456
      @chewinhard4456 Рік тому

      It would be the exact same with or without spacers. The inside cylinder of the bearing ( one that the axle goes through) protrudes out slightly from the shield. Spacers just rest on that. Unless I’m missing something I’m pretty sure it’s the same either way.

    Hey @Ben Degros! I discovered your channel and videos a few weeks ago when I first got 'back' into skating after a 10-ish years break. I've never been good at it, but I want to give it another try. My main issue right now is picking up the parts that I'd qualify as 'bang for the buck'. I'm 33, pretty much out of shape for a sport as physically taxing like skate, and have a pretty tight budget. I was wondering if you have already made a video like that, or if you could please do one, because to be honest, I'm not sure the parts I have in mind would be adequate if I'm back to square one, having to relearn pretty much everything and all. Love your content btw! 👍

    22:26 you stomped that one i could tell you were liking this 14" wb at first touch. XD I may have to keep my eye out for 8.25x31.5 decks. Last short board i rode was a 8.13x31 Rick howard semi pro deck sum 10 years ago but that thing BLASTED fs shoves i figure it was the shorter WB before i stepped up to 8.38x32 decks. Only trucks i currently have at that size are 144 mindy hollows. Or old 139 stage X hangers i could put on the 144 plates or some old 9 plates that will probably crack/snap a pin in its lifetime. BC thats just what they do. Ive been liking the red/big balls 6 ball bearings lately since i mostly ride parks they keep speed and are really good for transition not sure how well theyll hold up.
