My local skateshop is called Welcome. They have their own selection of decks which i always buy when they are in stock even if i dont need a new deck. I do this because i know it supports them the most.
What board should I go for. Simply, I want something I can cruise on as well as maybe 1 or 2 tricks like an Ollie. Also, the roads in my community are really rough and bumpy, I want something that will run smooth
I think graffiti should be aloud in skate parks strictly by the users of the park and only outdoor parks. we spend so much time there let us make it our own by tagging it.

I've been skating for almost 20 years. I usually hold my board by the front trucks and I'm sick of being called a poser by ten year olds😆 But I always clean my local park and I always support my local shop.
Yea I've been holding my board like that for almost 20 years lol. I didnt even know it had a name until I started seeing all the youtube videos that were coming out against it and calling people who do it "posers". I dont see how the way you carry your board can make you a poser tho.
He is really right about the first one. My local shop is closing after the new year because they couldn’t afford to stay open. Now all we’ll have is Zumiez. Which is pretty tough.
Wholesome video. Thanks for your contribution. I honestly think alot of people could do with hearing some of the things you've said here! Take it easy ✌️
From anyone who is in the south shore of quebec, there's this local shop called outlaw in châteauguay and valleyfield. They have their selection of merch and decks and even did collabs with big brands.
@@shrippie-4214 I wasn’t trying to make a joke. Skateboarding in update New York isn’t that popular and every town is small. There is literally no where to skate but this skate park with two ramps. There is nothing to skate
What board should I go for. Simply, I want something I can cruise on as well as maybe 1 or 2 tricks like an Ollie. Also, the roads in my community are really rough and bumpy, I want something that will run smooth
Let’s have a conversation about mall grab. It is without a doubt the most functional and relaxed way to hold a skateboard. You pinch it on the nose. You can two hand it, you can hold it from the under side none of these ways are efficient. And let’s be honest if you were attacked by someone and you were allready in mall grab position you’d be in a much better situation because you got a firm grip around the truck and can smack that fool hella hard with the other truck. There’s no disadvantage to mall grabbing your skateboard. Only advantages. Lol 😂😂
There's nothing wrong with the mall grab, I always carry my skateboard this way and it doesn't mean you're a poser nor a beginner, it's really comfortable and so cool looking too 😬
Yes there is. It’s harder to get onto your board then it is compared to holding it by the tip of the nose with the griptape facing you, plus it just feels more beginner anyways.
My local shop is Drop In Macedonia-Skopje. They've been up for about 15-20 years. They have the most of the brands. My personal favourite brand is Creature.
I got my first board from a local store called ninetimes. The people who worked there were a lot more experienced with skateboarding than the stores that I went to earlier that day
1:49 my fav skateboard shop is called kmart lol i don’t use a skate board and the scooter i have run is a 50 dollar target one yes i am getting a new one i’m saving up for a skate board and a better scooter
Could you make a video about the mal grab. Like about the history of it and when it started to get hated on. i would love that.keep it up love the vids
You can easily find it by just googling it. In short: skating was really popular and it became kind of a trend to just have a skateboard. So a lot of people used to carry their boards in malls and not skate them anywhere. The ones that hung out in stores with their boards used the 'mall grab' and they were seen as posers. So people didn't want to carry their boards that way. That's what I've heard and read about it.
Us skater girls have to do so much more to be recognized as part of the community, but at the same time, we get caught or whatevs less because we’re girls and people can’t take us seriously. We literally have to do 200% of what boys do to get recognized. Not getting caught is probs one of the only upsides of being a skater girl
Yes! I have a penny board and want a new one. What board should I go for. Simply, I want something I can cruise on as well as maybe 1 or 2 tricks like an Ollie. Also, the roads in my community are really rough and bumpy, I want something that will run smooth
you’re saying this like you don’t get recognised, even though i’m spotting lots of skater girls in video games, skate videos, and skate parks in general
I'm a new skateboarder and I'm only 12 years old but I want people to hear me out... Today I got my first proper skateboard and I was so happy, I wanted to try it out in the best skatepark I could get to but there was an event on. They kept getting in my way while I was learning how to balance on my new board and someone almost nicked me over while I was going down a ramp. I think I should contact someone who can change things like this and ask if they could have some new parts of a skatepark for beginners like me. Can I have some advice from any other skaters please. If you got to here thanks so much for reading. 🙏
state footwear is great i love their shoe designs because they arent to masculine and are unisex so i don't look like im getting shoes straight from the men's section lol and they are cheap as they usually on sale. they also long-lasting and come with a free pair of laces.
1:53 i live in canada so there are a few but some are freeride boardshop, koncept kalifornia, and 0ne boardshop they are all in different cities around me so i just go to them sometimes
I get why people don’t want anyone to buy from chain stores like Vans or Zumiez but when I got my first skateboard I went to Zumiez and they were really nice and felt like a local shop
Hey, I live in Brazil, and a skateboarder's life here sucks. The legendary skateboard stores are closed and we almost don't have spots. Recently the city hall wanted to build a spot, but to do so, they cut down so many trees and it's taking more than 3 years to finish. And more, people don't respect skaters or anyone else. I will cry lol
Ok so- I self taught myself to skateboard not knowing that I was pushing the wrong way- now I’m stuck with mongo pushing. But idc if people say I’m pushing the wrong way. Skateboarding is supposed to be fun for everyone 😊
My favorite local skate shop is the board room, they sell completes, and you can choose it to be custom made you can choose the board, grip tape, wheels, trucks, and hardware, check it out if you live near it, my favorite wheels are spitfire, and they can make the board in front of you and tell them to cut the grip how u like it.
I just started skating, but I couldn’t get a trick right so I watched one of your videos… three hours, four different channels and one sub to Skate Box I’m back where I started. 😂
I used to have a skate shop that I could walk or ride a bike to but they closed down so there isn't a skate shop near me. I got my board from them too. I need to get out on it more. Maybe even ride it at the skate park even though I'm a scooter and bike rider.
my town was gonna build a massive skatepark, because currently every kid only has a single depressing basketball court to skate in, but instead, they made it into a dog park mid zoning. Why? visiting cars. Basically, a ton of people who use our town to drive through to get to somewhere else, found out about it, and complained it would ruin the value and view of the land. So last minute, due to overwhelming complaint by people not even from my town, they turned it into a dog park instead. Pissing off every skater kid, and skater in general in my entire town, while the adults were just happy the land was used for something, instead of going to waste.
i don’t have a local, there are barely any skate shops where i live, but a good shop is FTC on Haight-Ashbury street in san francisco. there is also another skate shop on haight next to ameoba music.
we have a skatepark in plymouth, but no one has even touched it since like the 90's. it has cracks, it's quite rough, and just basically no one goes there.
0:30 that skatepark is near where I live, I skate there sometimes. Cool to see it in a video. Here is the location if you want to go there, skatepark Hengelo.
I think as long as your not hateing or hurting anyone and your staying out of people's way your fine. There's always going to be back round noise and whispers.but as long as your doing what makes you happy and your enjoying everything is fine.
When i was 11, we wanted a skatepark in our area, our school teacher got us to get a petition signed, about a year or so later, we had a skate park, now there heaps in the area.
My favorite skateshop is called uprise and its actually really close to where I mostly skate. So, it's kinda nice to know that if I somehow break a deck or if stuff just gets worn out, I can go there
My friend told me to start skating and I was like I’ll just buy a vans board but then he told me about his local skate shop and they were good boards and cheap
It feels unfair because im always being told to go buy from local skate shops, but in my city there is none ,so i have to buy from corperations, and I'm not going to drive 1 to 2 hours just to go to a shop.
One of my favorite skate shop isn't even a skate shop, there a record store in my town, and there's a small part that sells hardware and boards, but they sell brands like Spitfire and Santa Cruz
My local skate shop is called Maven. i've bought some of their personally manufactured decks and wheels, and their employees are chill. 10/10 would buy again
Me when you were talking about people who take is too seriously: Not me, I just want to have fun with it You a second later: You should just have fun with it
In India, it seems like everything is private property, I get caught all the time for skateboarding to a spot using the sidewalk, or longboarding on the side of the road.
I have been crapped on for something that was out of my control pretty much dictating how I skate having bad knees making it harder to do a kickflip and most ollie tricks
all these people on youtube need to stop telling everyone to like their videos 🙄 (like the video if u agree)

Tru dat
Agreed man. If anyone can come up with a good reason not to ill stop mall grabbing for good
Yes there is. It’s harder to get onto your board then it is compared to holding it by the tip of the nose with the griptape facing you, plus it just feels more beginner anyways.

Whats wrong with graffiti?
