Wish this was around when I started. This is super super helpful and insightful.

[@concrete-waves]

Stoked to hear this 🙏 Thanks for watching

[@HugosLittleLand]

I didn’t even know how to set up my surf skate board until you made this video telling me.😊

[@concrete-waves]

Awesome 👍

[@frankolvera4881]

Good to see you back Billy. Stay shedding 🤙

[@concrete-waves]

Thanks Frank. I appreciate it! Hope you're shredding too

[@C-BOOGIE88]

Great video. Most channels completely ignore all of the basics and just assume it is common knowledge. This video would be very useful for a beginner. Great job 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@concrete-waves]

Thanks for watching neil! It's something I wish I had when first starting

[@breadcrumbtrail]

Great video! A bit about deck dimensions, wheel wells, flares and cutouts might have been nice for beginners, but this is very thorough already.

[@concrete-waves]

Ahhh great point! I'll add a section about wheel wells & flares to the website article. Thank you!

[@SkateboardersHQ]

Great stuff, love the details and all the work you put in. Awesome.

[@concrete-waves]

Thanks man! Appreciate that

[@mattlaub1627]

I was just about to reach out because I was missing the old base plate angle video. Great video as always. Stoked to get modifying again!

[@concrete-waves]

Ayyy thanks matt! You can still hit me up if you have any questions

[@mopeiASMR]

I love the creativity and hard work that you put into your videos! It inspires me to create my own videos one day. Also, love the new name. It’s very fitting 🌊

[@concrete-waves]

Thank you I really appreciate that! Hope you create videos some day 🙏

[@WATERBORNESKATEBOARDS]

he's back!

[@concrete-waves]

Yesssirrrr 🙏🙏

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

I think i am making a good video then i see your videos and confirm i am just a hobbiest 😂😂😂. Your videos are always solid, informative, and high quality. Stay Rad Sir.

[@concrete-waves]

Lol thanks man. Appreciate that 🙌

[@bernhardscherer]

Perfekt! Please make a Review about the Comet cruiser 🙏🫶

[@icantsee0]

Its a crime how you're not at a 100k yet

[@concrete-waves]

Haha maybe one day! I just enjoy making the vids so it's all good

[@icantsee0]

@@concrete-waves you'll reach it no doubt 💯

[@sharky1854]

Great video the editing is really high quality

[@concrete-waves]

Thanks 🙌 means a lot!

[@Dr.Tuxedo]

Awesome vid as always! Glad to see you back at it, and it feels awesome having a refresher course on all the parts and setup. Big piece of advice I remember learning the hard way, if you're gonna swap parts you don't have to swap them all at once. Just getting new bushings or just getting new wheels might change the feel a lot.

[@concrete-waves]

Thanks for watching! That's great advice. I totally agree that wheels & bushings alone can significantly change the feel

[@maxmiro96]

Great video!!

[@concrete-waves]

Thanks! Stoked to hear that 🙏

[@ChrisBuzz79]

Great Video! Thanks

[@concrete-waves]

Thanks for watching chris 🙌

[@skate-further]

Fantastic Video and Presentation!

[@concrete-waves]

thanks michael, i appreciate that!

[@linuxkali7887]

So well explained!! Even though I'm not a beginner, I enjoyed the content and the way it was presented.

[@concrete-waves]

Thanks! I'm stoked to hear that 😎

[@BurningSpiderStokeCompany]

Well explained and solid info. In regards to RKP and TKP and it's orientation on the board I always like to tell people that no matter what style of truck the Pivot Cups (where the hanger and baseplate meat) always face towards the ends of the deck.

[@concrete-waves]

Thanks! That is a much better way to explain rkp and tkp orientation 🙏 Haven’t heard it phrased like that

[@BurningSpiderStokeCompany]

@@concrete-waves Lol, the result of explaining it 5 times a day at least for the past 10 years... You guys killed it on this video though for real. Keep it up.

[@SirAdeno]

How tight should kingpin nuts be? I've heard that front trucks should be a bit looser than the rear, but that's about it. Is this just a thing you just get a feel for, or is there a rule of thumb for it? Being a complete beginner, I don't know what "tight" or "loose" feel like.

[@antdenzic7977]

I thought you were gonna give away the Tan Tien, what happened?

[@concrete-waves]

You're right I totally said that and I will. Just getting the channel rolling again and at some point I'll set a giveaway up, including the Tan Tien

[@SUB0SCORION]

If you are a beginner dont worry about washer or bushing shapes. Get out there and ride

[@concrete-waves]

True, good advice. It definitely took me a while to start experimenting with them

[@GigaCivic]

The new name is cool and all I mean I get it, ya know surf skates = concrete waves. But shred shack was a better name imo

[@concrete-waves]

i appreciate the feedback Noah! Thanks for sticking around

[@manuelito1233]

I actually love the name concrete waves actually.
