After almost 12 years, still one of the best Pump tutorial videos on the whole internet!

I just turned 53. I got an electric board about 6 months ago because I've had a bad knee for a lot of years now and can't kick push my old longboard without feeling sharp pain. After riding the electric for a while and watching skate videos, I came across this video along with some LDP vids. Vlad inspired me to learn to pump. I put a waterborne surf adapter on my old sec 9 longboard and was able to pump almost instantly with this video (and the music) running through my head! Now I have a G-bomb bracket board and ride 5-7 miles 2 or 3 times a week and just pumped 11.25 miles the other day! Side note... I can pump for hours with minimal pushing without any pain in my knee. I can't get enough all thanks to this old video. Thanks Vlad. What a teacher!

I remember seeing this video years ago, and thought, "that's pretty cool." Then forgot all about it. Fast forward to last year when I got a dropthrough longboard for my 53rd birthday. Tried and tried to pump, but with only moderate success. I'd extend my time between pushes, but would lose more and more speed till I'd eventually have to push again. Last week I got a waterborne surfskate adapter thinking that would be the magic feather. It wasn't. Stumbled across this video again, and thought I'd give it a quick go. THAT was the magic feather: decent speed and for the 1st time was actually GAINING speed. This after just a quick 5 min session before I had to go back inside to fix the family dinner. I can only imagine what will happen with some actual practice. Thank you for this video :D

the most talkative teacher I've ever seen lol

this guy's not only entertaining to watch, he's a fkn bullet on that plank o_O

This clip is 4 years old and still the best one to teach one on how to pump with a longboard, great thanks.

After watching 4 videos about how to pump, all of them shit, this one was very helpfull and you did not even say a word!! Big A, Thanks, keep on!!!

I love this video - never seen a pumping guide with such clear and concise guidance.

I rarely comment on youtube, but this is perfect material. I don't need to see anything more out of this man: he is a great teacher and i would pay to take one of his seminar

dude is a pump master

who jus started longboarding and is here lookin to learn how to pump?

still the best pumping tutorial in 2020

You own the road bro. Keep it up. U r an expert.

I love how universal this video is.

This made pumping uphills seem fun.

One of the greatest obstacles to learning how to pump is getting over the fear of how much of a dick you will look throwing your arms around like a drowning breakdancer while you ride a giant child's toy through the streets. Once you get over that it's all gravy. And if you can do it wearing pink then you have achieved Jedi level awesomosity.

1000 лайков, наконец-то то что искал. Эти профи уже задолбали с основ стойки, поворотов и сразу к трюкам... А здесь именно пампинг, как только не искал, Ура!!! :-)

Thank you so much! I was looking for a proper tutorial on pumping and your video is just perfect! Fjrst I learned the first pumping technique on my cruizer longboard (around 33" long) about a week ago and today I learned second and third technique on my commuter/carver longboard (40" long, 30.5"wheelbase). Starting to go faster, now I can pump at a speed of up to 21km/h. Thanks! :)

The day i master this i will be proud to say "Vlad Popov" taught me,, :)

that waving in the air with your arms looks kinda ridiculous.. but damn he gets fast with pumping o.0

I remember seeing this video soooooo long ago and it was the first video that actually made pumping click. Its so cool seeing it again after all this time

I had the great opportunity to skate with Vlad for a while when he was in the US years back. VERY funny guy. Yet, very committed to his skate craft. Fast as hell on the slalom course. For those that think pumping looks funny, watch some slalom skate vids.

Dang i can see myself doing #1 and accidentally slapping someone on the face lol

one more comment because I am really happy. Thank you for putting that material online, as a kid I always wanted to learn how to go as long as possible with my board without kicking the ground. This video and the links are perfect for me, within 20 minute I went from knowing what I wanted to learn to knowing how to say it with words ( pumping) and finding great material...MERCI!

Really brillant. By far the best video on learning how to pump. There's so many crap around but with this one you really get it. Thanks a lot!

Best instruction video I've ever seen. This has me so excited to practice!

Excellent tutorial, this and Vlad' links on 'pavedwave' have helped enormously :D

Still the best video ever made about pumping, enjoy watching again an again !!!! Thank you so much !

Just started longboarding and this video was probably the best video to learn how to pump

I happen to know Vlad [DC Crew baby!!] and he is a fast skater. The flailing arms thing can be tricky to pull off and make look cool. I like to think I have it down with my own style and when Vlad is on full Death Ray running cones he looks like a shark heading for a baby seal. When did a slalom board become a longboard? I was in a comic shop not long ago with my Turner in hand. It has a 16 inch wheelbase. That's tiny folks. The gal at the counter said "Hey, nice longboard". I said :What's so long about it?" I explained it was NOT a longboard and she insisted it was since I had the "Jelly" wheels on it. I had no idea Smuckers made slalom wheels. It has a set of Tunnel STR Tarantulas on it. I finally let it go and continued shopping. Yes, I was purposely misunderstanding her, but I get this a lot when I skate my slalom boards which is almost all of the time i skate. I often skate down to Fells Point here in Baltimore to get excercise and other skaters give me the oddest looks when they see what I'm riding. The comments range from thumbs up to, what the hell is that? I even let a kid try it and he tried ti kick flip it!!! Which pissed me off sine it was a vintage Turner cut-away Sims team board that I bought off Ed Economy. Let's raise slalom awareness.folks. Skate on Vlad!!!!!!!!!!

WHOA. Probably the best video that explains by doing instead of saying! I love it!

I was thinking of buying an e-skateboard until I saw this!! Vlad, you're a "GUN"!

i like how the second song came in when he was demonstrating the 4th pump. :D

goes to show; actions speak greater then words!!!! ive watched a few pumping vids and been totally confused as to what to do from all the stuff they say!!! with this vid i had learnt what i needed to by 30 seconds into it! thanks man! awsome!

feel so happy every time after watching this vid, i really like it,and i learned a lot,thx u !

That's some crazy speed! Awesome video.

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your skills.

Great vid, actions speak louder than words! Learnt to pump from this and great tunes too 👍

Still the best training video, thank you Vlad!

Excellent, great video very useful teaching with good music... many thanks

Holy acceleration! Especially with the 2nd technique.

Vlad popov you are amazing, thank you for the video !

I had my first day with a longboard today , trying to pump after weeks of surfskate.... This tuto is very good.

Coolest guy ever!! Should have twice as many views. Music is also pure gold!

Old video. But it simplified things so much now. I taught myself how to pump after watching one of my friends do it literally a day before he moved away based off trying to copy his body movement and just tweaking my board. I ended up with a combination of method 1 & 2 but it works well for me because i can stay pretty loose and relaxed, and really put my weight into every movement. But without the exaggerated arm movement that are used here for teaching.

пожалуй это лучшее пособие по пампингу которое я только видел, благодарю

@gingahippy -- agreed! i'm stoked Vlad was cool about sharing it out. people have been asking for "how to" video for years and he's nailed it.

Это лучшее, что я видел!!!!Влад ,спасибо огромное, придумано и исполнено великолепно!!!!!

Dude that’s was sick 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Love this guy! Best video to teach you how to pump.

Best vid i've watched yet. Thanks it helped alot.

Mastered the pumping skill today! Great video! Thanks from the South Africans!!!

Brilliant stuff,love it !

This guy is so fabulous, I can't even * *-* *

what a talent, a for sharing it, a bloody nice Guy....

0:57 imagine being in that car and seeing him doing that

Definitly one of the best vids :D gonna try pump#1 and 2 today :D

Beste Anleitung fürs Longboard Pumpen! Danke dafür!

This is absolute gold! Pink gold! :)

Man, you are the best.

i shared this video with all my friends. thanks.

Nerf this mode, it's obviously OP as fuck.

rock on pink bullet.. thanks for the tips

I remember I used to think this video was so cool when I first started longboarding and now I look back on it this all easy stuff that came to me naturally during my time skating , I didn't even realize I do more the 3 or 4 pumps then I watch this video and see that I do them all.

Yes very great video, he exaggerate the mouvement to make us undestand well. Great job sir :)

great video love it thank you brother.

Спасибо! Мне это видео помогло научиться пампить. За время его существования других российских обучалок не появилось ( не любят НАШИ делиться секретами мастерства). Да и в сравнении с иностранными оно остается лучшим... зажигает, увлекает и заводит, побуждает подражать, и это благодаря харизме исполнителя!

Great video man! Hope you are well!

Très bonne technique😉👍

@SuperWappie - get the 5.0 for front and tracker or seismic in back for starters. read up in the pavedwave forum for the rest!

All jokes aside this is an awesome way of showing how it's done

As a longboard noob, I need to congratulate you, sir.

this might be the best longboard pumping tutorial on the internet. FAV!

Еще в далеких 80 х , купил советский скейтборд, даже не помню сейчас его характеристики, катался 1м способом который Вы показываете! Благодаря этому видео заказал себе лонгборд икарус! БОЛЬШОЕ ВАМ СПАСИБО !

Wow, so quick!

excellent clip. thank you

Great video!

De loin la meilleure video pour apprehender le pumping! Et la musique trop bonne ;-)

Tanks! You are Amazing!!!

Great video, I love pumping myself

best video on ldp ever!

This is gonna save my ankles. I never knew this was possible

Very good video!

Excellent!!! Bravo!!!!

Pink!!! I love this song♡

Amazing skills!

2:12 The "Stacey Peralta" perfectly executed. x

Love the music transition at 3:46. The second song, don't know the name, sounds amazing and his often quirky movements makes it so much more fun to watch.

At 2:46 he does this kind of boxer`s tuck move that`s effing cool.

Супер круто, и как снято ! На фоне того, что делает Влад смешно выглядит определение пампинга на одном из сайтов лонгбордеров: СОХРАНЕНИЕ или СНИЖЕНИЕ потери скорости. Нормальный пампинг - это НАБОР скорости ! :-)

Making honor to this video !!!

Thank you!

Awesome. The pump-4 in the video is too fast. When I tried to imitate pump-3 at "2:05" in the video, I was able to accelerate more comfortably than before. I will watch this video a little more and practice pumping. Thank you very much.

Merci Vlad pour cette chouette démo. +1

This guy rocks it!!!

Спасибо за видео! Я только начала кататься)

Bravo pour cette vidéo!!!

made my day!

super !!! merci !!!!
