ABOUT CONCRETE WAVES
Our mission is to get more people into skateboarding and carry it as a lifelong passion. Skateboarding is more than just a wooden plank with four wheels. It's a way to connect with friends, leave behind the daily grind and express who you are. No matter what style you choose, it's all valid. The ride is the reward.

I’d also highly recommend wearing safety gear. Let’s start a thread of other helpful things for beginners👇

[@concrete-waves]

Once you have a solid foundation, check out surfskates. They offer an incredibly fun deep carving experience (you don't have to be a surfer to enjoy them)

[@concrete-waves]

There are so many other awesome styles you can progress into; dancing, long distance, surfskate, street, park, slalom, freeride, downhill, freestyle, etc. I wish I knew these other styles existed

[@goofyfootgreg]

Totally agree that most people don’t care. The down side is it might be hard to find an in person community. The internet can be a great way to build a network of people to help keep you hyped up ✌️

[@krakler]

Best cruiser channel. Thank you for your wisdom, but most of all your vibes.

[@concrete-waves]

I appreciate that 🙏 thanks for watching & dropping a comment

[@skate-further]

Ah man I was about to make the same Video ;D
Just love your Style of Video, it's chill and straight to the point!
Truly one of the best channels on Longboarding out there!

[@concrete-waves]

thanks michael. Still make yours! The longboard community could use as many perspectives as possible 🙏

[@tauntPEANUTBUTTER]

totally get the 3 phases in #4, I too upgraded my bushings and wheels and plunged into the holy shizzz phase for my surfskate journey xD
Now I'm in the "I want 'em all" phase.

[@concrete-waves]

🤣 lets goooo. Love to hear that lol

[@whitetailskateboards]

Great video! Thanks for saying it; no one cares, and when they do, they’re just happy seeing someone else’s skate.

[@concrete-waves]

thanks for watching and dropping a comment sohpie! Exactly 🙏

[@cyronx1724]

I love that there kinda is no rule to what or how you ride (as long as your safe). One of my favourite things to do is put my set of 77mm speed vents on my dancer and just cruise in max comfort and foot space.

[@concrete-waves]

Exactly. 77mm speed vents on a dancer sounds awesome!

[@Paves_and_Waves]

Dude your videos are so fun to watch. thanks for the great content

[@concrete-waves]

Thanks i really appreciate 🙌

[@TheReal_DeanD]

The point about changing the bushings and wheels is a great one. I found changing those helped me. Thanks again for the help.

[@eBoard3R]

*Some awesome points made!*

I do recommened new riders get a deck thats not too small and one that is not too high up, good way to starr.

[@concrete-waves]

thanks man! Great tips, agreed 😎🙌

Awesome vid ❤

[@concrete-waves]

thanks marvin 🙌

[@stevenhorney7735]

I have seen some notable differences in wheel bearings, but most often it seems the wheels make a greater difference in performance - even within the same size range.

[@concrete-waves]

Yeah I'd say most often, the wheels make a bigger difference 🙏

[@TREEfool]

That's some chill philosophy. Love it.

[@concrete-waves]

Appreciate that 🙏

[@concrete-waves]

Whoa! Whatta deal, nice 🔥

[@oh4542]

kinda random but what brand is that crewneck your wearing? also great video!

[@concrete-waves]

thanks! i actually ordered it as a sample from a manufacturer for concrete waves merch. But i did some searching and found you can get it here - www.clothingshoponline.com/p/independent-trading-co/prm3500_midweight-pigment-dyed-crewneck-sweatshirt?color=pigment_alpine_green-pigment_dyed
