Dan! Thank you for all of your content. I'm 40, used to skate all the time, but got away from trick skating when I had a massive soft tissue injury in both of my ankles. Your videos have reignited the fire in me, and I'm purchasing my first new board in over a decade this week. I'm pretty sold on the new Andy Anderson, and I'm hella nervous about even trying to Ollie, but I can't sit still after watching you all shred. Hearts and farts from NC, brother.

Are you talking about Chris Hiett’s board? That thing looks so sick!! Can’t wait for that one to come out, definitely snagging a deck!

Much love and respect to you and your channel Dan Corrigan. ♾️💜

Skate with swampy more please. He’s one of my favorite skaters today and ya’ll are fun to watch together.

Hi Dan and your goup of shredders, I knew I saw you all right before I had left my local park that day . I am usually there around 5am for 8 hrs - sometimes later. AWESOME VLOG like always. I Finally landed my craziest trick on my 10.75 ZipZogger over ball on my channel. MCL still healing on NB 808s. All you Gr8 skater around you have GR8 Channels. You all keep me going at 45 and still shredding hard. Keep those gr8 VLOGs coming shredder. 🙂 Zip making legs stronger and popsicle deck feel like a feather.

Dan flow is energy. Just go with it

This Channel always has stayed strong,PeACe and Blessings...Comrades.

havent watched you in a wile, really happy to see you still going strong. Love the new chompers too :)

Dan thank you for keeping me motivated bro all day

Been skating Anti-Hero's beach bum for a while now, I've had about 6 of them and they're probably the best skateboard I've ever set foot on out of the 18 years I've been skating. But that 10.75 looks like a boat that I'd drift away in a dream while doing all the smith grinds.

Dan out here doing gods work with that toe shot!

I’m just glad there is variety. There was over a decade of only popsicle boards that got slightly larger over that period. One great thing about skateboarding today is the variety of sizes and shapes. It also seems like everyone is more accepting of a broader trick selection.

Looks like everyone had a lot of fun killing it today

I love that you’re willing to go out of your comfort zone and try new boards , set ups and letting us know how it goes ! Love the content Dan

❤ the 10.00+ inch Heroin boards. Ive been skating the 10.00 symmetrical popsicle shape. Has 14 wheelbase love it to death. The new Heroin 10.75 big wide egg shape is fire. New set up will be that with new 10.00 Af1 ACES

I’ve always been preaching wheelbase!!! So TRUE!!!

This is the golden era of Dan videos

Dan, you're a badass skater and skate vidiogropher. Nobody expects you to do math 😆

I grew up on the fatty decks, Mike McGills, Jeff Kendall, Double Vision etc... Gullwing trucks, Bridge Bolts, Ratbones etc etc.. When the 90s came around and all the decks went 2x4, the biggest decks we could find were made by Blind at 8.5 and we'd slap on some Indy Trucks that were way shorter, made for a super skinny deck and that worked out great for flip tricks etc etc... These days, when they started reproducing the old school decks but made with new school wood, we started skating them again.. and all of us pushing 50 and some of us being 50 are digging it... especially me.. I lost my leg so I'm skating with a prosthetic bit all I can do are Bonelesses, hand plants etc, the tricks I started out doing.. Mike Vallely type stuff..... The smaller wheel base helps out a lot, it helped back in the day and it helps now... We also didn't have skate parks... you all are welcome for that hahaha..... Big deck, smaller wheel base.. hard flips get easier.. you can get more spins on a kick flip... Also try bigger wheels or a riser.. that might help a little, everyone is different but that's what worked for me...

I ride a 10 in Heroin popsicle shaped deck and I love it. My feet are size 13 so I need a fat ass board. My slappy setup is 10.5. Definitely makes locking in on rails a bit tougher, but I mostly grind ledges and curbs so it works beautifully for my style.

Yes!!! Can't get enough of swampy

Dude that pro board your talking about sounds sick!

Vic is awesome.

Manual in the end was awesome

As an old school (since 1985) skater, I find it amusing that 10 inch decks are considered huge, these days. Back then, 10x30 was the standard deck size, generally fish shaped.

It makes sense to have a large deck for a larger surface area. It also make sense to have larger trucks to increase potential surface area of possible lock in/grind positions.

Im old enough to have ridden 10" fish shaped boards in the 80s and when the first board with a 7" nose came out it felt totally natural. Then the early 90s came and football shaped boards going into sub-8" widths became the norm, and once again we adapted, even on vert. The worst part (about skating vert) was that wheels went from 66mm to 38mm in about 4 years. Then in 2000 i found out about Flip having a special mold to make 8" plus decks for their team. Now everyone is on 8"+ decks. Trends have always been taken to the goofiest looking extremes and are a necessary part of evolving and learning. Embrace them.

maaaan them new teeth completly changed ya, look amazing!

Im riding the Powell Peralta Frankie Hill deck. I chose the shorter wheel base and its a 10" deck. Love it. ❤🛹🔥👌

Another evening another Dan vid❤

that ramp turn around to bank incline is dreamy

Hey Dan, I come for the skating, I stay for the games of SK8, lol

Ripping! Fun session 👍👍

Just ordered a 10.4 heroin egg with indy 215s cant wait to setup and skate it

Big vic is on one in this , holy shit !

Grats Swampy for turning pro on Heroin

Got a 8.47 x 31.98 14.25 wb on tge way cant wait i loved 8.5 width but tge length felt goofy so looking forward to trying this out

that last one was actually pretty sick

Dan are you going to come out with ur own shape ?

That is Beautiful sk8 park 😍

The manuals at 15:54 might be my favorite thing you’ve ever done in a video. Those look so hard 😅

Looking like Street Sk8er 2 on that thing 👾

Been a krooked Beamer for almost a year now (10.75 wide with 16.1 wheelbase) it’s been the perfect board for me but totally see how the width on a smaller wheelbase would be SO beneficial.

Dude the heroin boards have a been a god send for me. I’m 6’4” with size 13 and have skating their 10 inch popsicle and 9.4 space egg. So rad to have that much space the razor edge cut. Was really contemplating picking up one of those wide boys too, but 10.5 over the trucks sounded kinda wild even with 215s. Shoutout heroin and swampy so rad. Bring back the questions 10” popsicle at some point Fos!!!

Dude Victor skating THAT board but dressed like he is like doesn't compute in my brain but it's so cool

I think I understand it, with a wider board and wider trucks you have a greater chance of landing in a spot that is still functionally adequate to ride out of it.

I'm exclusively a transition skater and the 15" WB of Bucky's Tortoise and 15.25" of Cab's 216 flight decks are perfect for me, any shorter doesnt feel like such a solid stance in pools and on vert and there's obviously the reason why Steve Caballero and Bucky Lasek have chosen them that way as they are predominantly vert skaters, but for flip / street tricks shorter WB makes way more sense. it does amaze me how many people have no idea about WB even people who work in sakte shops and they look at you kinda crazy when you ask what the WB of a deck is, it is indeed such an important factor.

Man the eye baller art on the wide boy is fucking siiick!!!

Your choppers are so bright i need shades

Woah. That looks like he is riding the skateboard equivalent of a 36mm fingerboard. That eyeball graphic actually looks like one done on fingerboards by Goo Ltd.

Glad someone finally is talking about this. Went to a Skateshop the other day and the owner literally said “wheelbase doesn’t matter.” And it totally does. Great vid DC!

i wanna know where he gets those boards, i 15 and skating a 9.5 wanna go up ur an ispiration, i recently started a channel because of you.

Love ur vids. Where do I find the 10+” wide popsickle board? I shaped one myself like that a few years back.

I've never focused on this aspect enough to figure out wheel base. I tried adjusting all the other factors but if i adjusted my wheel base it only could have happened completely on accident when i got a new pair of trucks.

It’s going to evolve back into an old school fish tail in the future 😂

Damn! Mans got a new set of pearly whites.

Bro I need your dentist number man you look great bro!! Love the videos !! You taught me how to do kickflips!!!

That board looks hilariously out of proportion

Trackwidth = distance from outside of tire to outside of tire on the same axle Wheelbase = distance from center of front wheel to enter of rear wheel Dan Corrigan = Dale's neighbor

Yeah so I’ve been skating Heroin Skateboards for a bit now and I’m in love with the 8.75 with the 14.25” wheel base. Anyone looking to test out this type of shape I highly recommend Heroin Skateboards for them

Man I haven't really skated in 20 years after a compound fracture and 14 pins when I got laid out off of our broken kicker... But I still love to watch everyone of these. Keep up the great work and dope skating Dan!

damn that board is huge

I love how swampy isn’t that big of a dude yet he skates 10 inch wide boards

I started skating like most people of the era using 7.75 boards and i pretty much stuck with that until i took a break from skating at like 25-26.... Recently i came back to skating at 32 and started with an 8.25 and lemme tell u, its so much harder to flip that board around lmao ...its like i have a boat under my feet Ive gotten more used to it over the past couple months but i think im going back 7.75 or 8 at most .... Ill use this for transition as it definitely seems better there .. Its just funny to me how dudes are riding these huge boards and here i am thinking an 8.25 is too big lol.... It all comes down to what u grew up skating on .....im used to a board thats light and u flicks super fast...back in 90s and early 2000s we were throwing out double flip variations and theres no way i could do that with todays shapes ....... Its a fine balance between having the control of a bigger board and flick of a smaller board....i think 8.25 is the max for me .... I would never even attempt to try and 8.5 or higher...my old man ankles cant take it

I ride the same board the wide boy on the ace 80s I love it

I'd love to see you try the Blockhead 10.0s with Ace 00 trucks. They're ridiculously fun.

a friend of mine has bought himself an eggzilla board from heroin. its 14.5" and its illegal how good it feels to skate it. and it still flips thats the crazy part

Brother! I was about to ask you what trucks you skate. Are those the indy's hollow mids?

wider board is good for the feet....longboarding will teach you this. protect the arches, stretch the calf, get that big toe properly alligned..eat well...etc...

Sick soul blind shirt

I had a 9 with a 14 wheel base and it was amazing! Im having trouble finding one again n the shop I got it from just closed down

Hey Dan is Caroline your new Girl? She is fantastic. Great upgrade! Does she have her own channel?

This room is giving some hectic vibes

i dont know why but that board looks soo right

when it comes to skateboards, you cant beat a good old shaped deck, its what skateboarding was built on, and they still rock all these decades on

Victor is so 🥶 🔥

funny boards are going way wider again? need to set back up my late 80s board, wonder of wheel width will change so can run narrower trucks on wider boards?

I rock 10.75, it tapers kinda like a normal board. They flip pretty comfy. There are as many advantages as disadvantages I suppose.

What kind of trucks are they using for the board?

The year is 2175. Skateboards are now perfectly square. Fr though, skate what works. I would probably think a 10.75 was a bit heavy myself, but I'd have to try it first.

When I was a teen it was uncool to skate anything over 8" and I have size 12UK feet so didnt work out for me, seeing the bigger sizes makes me interested again. But I tend to stick to rollerblading and become even more uncooler instead ;)

5:32 what a Jason noise you just made 10:44 and there too

Love me some Swampy

6:54 fucking solid 🦅

can someone explain what he’s saying with the board shape, i’m lil confused. is it shorter but wider then normal?

Dan are you wearing the old es 😊sal 23 kicks I I remember right. . 😂

I skate at the moment the chocolate/girl G048 and it is a 9.25 eggish shape with a more square tail and it has a 13.875 wheelbase and this thing flips and everything like a 8.5 😍👌

Watching Victor ripping on that Saiz never gets old.

Lots of talk about wb, at what height would you expect 14.25-14.375 to be too short?

Wait a second… the boards we rode in the late 80’s are coming back?

Dan is a swarthy man 😂

Yo, what trucks/size is Swampy using on his setup?

Victor is the best

bruh that may as well be a damn skimboard jeez lol

At 5:25 the old school deck looks like the hover board from back to the future

Wheelbase is where it's all at. My go to shape is 9.25 but with a 13.875 wheelbase. Feels way better and even smaller than most 9s because they usually have a 15 inch wheelbase

Dan your hard flips would work so much better if you put your right foot almost in the right pocket of the board and stayed over it instead of trying to flick it back and catch it. That’s how I learned nollie hard flip to 5/0 (yes I literally learned nollie hard flips into fs 5/0s for some reason cause I saw my friend do it.) but that was how I learned how to place my feet and aim my body basically just backwards reversed it and bam, hard flips and frontside flips been my favorite tricks 😂

Been riding a 9.15 n it's pretty big. But comfy. Little hard to flip. Not so sure bout 10.75. But wish I could try a shorter wide deck with closer wheel base.

I thought my 9.5" double shovel heroin board was wide. Actually I can't remember the exact width, but I know it's at least 9. I got indy 169s in it. I think heroin is making some of the best boards out there.
