I turn 30 in 8 hours. Just bought an "element" deck off ebay. You know the one from tony hawk pro skater. No kids never married. Feeling my youth slip away. Gonna try to learn a kick flip lol

This video helps a lot! I was a skater when I was 15. Now I'm 37 and decided to skate again. This video gives me some kind of refresh for my memory and now I know what to choose👍🏻

Ten years almost for me n I’m getting back in to it n this vid was perfect glad to see a lot of old brands still stand strong.

Thanks for the support Max ❤

I love supporting local brands. There are a lot of board pressers out there that make custom boards that are local as well. I personally prefer life boards which are pressed just a couple hours away from me.

Awesome quick guide max!, now days there are so many choices for skate equipment. I think one thing people should watch out for is those prebuilt completes and price point boards that seem to be slightly better quality then big box store completes.

After more than 10 years, I’ve been wanting to get back on the board. This video gave me some great reminders that I know are going to set me up for some good times ahead. Can’t wait to get my new skateboard!

Just went in my local shop Cowtown skateboards in Phoenix AZ bought a cowtown deck ,cowtown 54mm wheels Bones Redz bearings , jessup grip tape, already had some old nice thunder trucks just got back into skateboarding with my little niece

Great video, thank you for refreshing my memory after a big timeout from skateboarding!

Want to get back into skating. Appreciate the vid bro. Gonna have to check out Fargo when I'm in town again

I wish I knew this back when I was in high school skating... I never thought all of this. But I did notice how different decks elevated my skills. I would of liked getting that same preference every time and see how good I could of got

Just got back into skating Chi and built an art dept spade cruiser and baker popsicle. Super stoked. Thanks for your vids they’re super helpful for a local!

i used to be told to used bones redz cause the ol team used them.. and i was the black sheep out of the city. i wiuld explode a bearing every week. the local skate shop coukd not understand how i did this for some reason it was always doing half calb heel flip nose grab (trick i've been doing for 23 years) down flight of stairs lol.. i was checking skateboard brand. i am starting again. i was hoping for great companie. as what i use to rude is either dead or mass produces at lower quality. but this was a great video... pays the extra for de bones ceramic if you are going to skate hard..

Thank you Max, until now I see about concave I thought it had to do with the brand and not that it was a size, in my country is hard to find your best skate since there is not much options to choose

Thanks! Super informative

Find the deck you like, scrape of the print on the back, buy colour for wood, and paint your own board 👌

I'm just trying to get back into the hobby after 20 years and ive been going crazy overthinking things lol. Like trucks....Thunder, venture or indys? high or low trucks? Wheels.. The powell dragons as im in the northeast and really bad roads or the new Andy Anderson nano cubics or the Formula 4s? What size wheel, 52 or 54? Do i go with a more square wheels which i like the look more or do i go with a rounded one? And last but not least truck size...I saw some guys go a ¼ up in size to have the wheels in line with the board which i like that look best but will that affect learning flip tricks? Yeah im definitely overthinking things lol

this is really good, I love Indy's but they feel unstable with my Qwik Truks so I changed to ventures.. thinking about getting some lows to balance out the weight, on that note one of my favorite skaters around my own age swears by Tensor mag lights so I was thinking of getting em. Ion if the ones you are referring to are the same but they seem pretty nice if you want less weight without sacrificing grind capability

Awesome video bro 😎👍

Habitat , doa , baker , tensor / venture , lucky bearings , dark star wheels , jessup

I use to live in Dekelb fargo skatepark is bussin🔥

Underrated youtuber here

I got size us 13 and ride 7.75 boards used the same boardsize since i started as a kid

There is a skate shop that was local but open on another in the same area it’s still the l same owner and says locally owned on social media.is it still local?

8.3 custom maple deck, mob Primitive grip, Thunder trucks, um spitfire or bones wheel, redz or superz bearings, probaby old bolts

👍good job. size 12 shoe, man's a behemoth!

One thing about indys is the stock bushings are way too soft for the wider trucks. Theyre fine for the smaller sizes, but if you're riding a 10 in board they're useless

i know theres better bearings, but redz roll just how i like them, something about them hits that sweet spot for me

Just some advice on griptape grizzly designs are always nice looking but it wears out so quick and ends up useless. 🤙👍

I wear a size 15 men's and ride an 8.25 and I really like it, bit I think I'm going to try an 8.5

Idk how I came across this video on my recommended, but I love it; I’m 37 and I haven’t skated in Probably 18 years. All I can say is this video brought back some serious nostalgia! I forgot how much I loved the set up and personalization of my boards. For what I can remember I skated 8in, always independent hardware/trucks, and Blind boards or Girl boards with a few alien workshops. Spitfire wheels were the goto wheels then. If those brands don’t exist anymore thn just call me a boomer.. haha Anyways great video, I legitimately am thinking about heading down to the skate shop and getting back on a board. In my head I feel as if some simple 180 Ollie’s , pop shove it’s or some low height nose slides will immediately come back to me…of course the other sane part of my brains tells me no fucking way… 😂

I always try to shop local stores but the lady at my local shop told me she would price match I drove All the way out to the shop and the story changed! I skate baker 8.0 MOB grip tape independent trucks, spitfire cheepshot bearings spitfire wheels independent hardware

Torx Bit is what that drill head is called

My local shop it fargo skateboarding and i’m only 11 but my dad showed me this video and he said i have met you!

What about Riser Pads

i'm in my forties but i dont gaf i want to skate. hehe. do they still make venture trucks? that used to be my fave back in the day.

Does anyone know a board brand that is similar or has the same feel as mini logo?

I've been looking for some lightweight decks. Any suggestions? I don't wanna go through in Spanish lots of money on all sorts of different decks. Just to find the right one, you know if anyone here can help me. What appreciated I would have really appreciated.

great video thank you! literally going to the shop in like an hour lol

i am currently skating a 7.75 with spitfire formula 4 conical 52mm, i am planning to get a new board, an 8. should i get bigger wheels?

Can u smoke a bowl out of the reflex tool?

Independent trucks, bones, spit fire wheels.

Shopping local is always awesome but going in my local shop and hearing $130 for a board that I can get on Amazon for $90 is just crazy ‘

Are mini logos good?

Hey Max can you help me with my 11tyr old setup ?

From my experience independent trucks are way too heavy.
