Your finger flip on the vert ramp is one of the sickest tricks I’ve ever seen. I was so invested while watching the full video I actually jumped and yelled.

that fingerflip was sick

I have been trying to learn how to learn vert too! It's awesome to see you learn how to skate vert at the same pace as me! ❤️🥰

I want to be friends with ruben he seems like such a nice guy

Vert skaters always got the best vibes. Sick progression, can’t wait to see more!

Vert is so fun. Airing is flying and you feel so good doing it. I wish vert ramps were more common

It's been a real pleasure to watch. Great video. It reminds me how much I love this sport

This is so amazing finally seeing a high quality vert skate boarding progression video. Not many exist. Here in my suburb in sydney, we only have one vert pipe that is 9 ft 6, you have to pay to use it as it is in the aquatic centre but I skate it as much as I can. Which isn't very often. I have not been able to drop in on it yet as I get too many nerves, yet I am able to back slash the coping when pumping. Highest drop in i've done is about 8 ft so it is still something I am working towards. Fractured my foot again learning board slides but as soon as i'm back on the board, I hope to smash it out some time soon.

About to be 31 in 2 weeks and I've been skating street for almost over 20 years.. I padded up and had my first vert session 2 days ago and I'm in love. Sick video bro!!! Nice progression!!!!!

Love watching these progression videos

Love how supportive your friends are

Well done man 🥶 hope to see some more content like this

Well done for your progress. Vert is so fun. I’ve finally now dropped in and I can’t wait to start learning tricks

5:56 sweet pic! I grew up skating vert in the Bay Area, Ca in the 80's. Haven't skated vert in about 20 years. In Washington City, Utah we are getting a new park that should have vert #washingtonwheelspark and I have been so stoked. Can't wait. Thanks for the inspiration!

THIS! This is what I want to leanr on my skateboard. I started skating again after a brak of 4-5 yrs. but I only skated street and mini ramps but this was so SICK! I will do a video too!

Bruh this camera work is 11/10. Grats on landing the tricks!!

I remember watching you guys hit up that metal ramp - so good to see you progress :)

Stoked to see the progress!

this video is so dope

Love it man!

Awesome video! Keep them coming please!

That smile after you got the axle stall is everything 🙌

Fingerflip was sick! The end was wholesome too

Nice man goeie progression blijf doorgaan

Please please, please keep this series going.

These camera angles were giving me anxiety but it’s all good, sick video!

This video was necessary, thank you! It is wonderfull. I'm spanish but I've skate that halfpipe under the bridge long time ago...

What an amazing video :)

Lovely video mate I have been staring down the vert ramps near me, and I want to try. Someday.

Keep it up, love the videos 🔆

mad props to your progress, hopefully ill get to sesh with you sometime at that new park in amsterdam

hey , dont be so hard on yourself ! skateboarding is a very hard sport , to get to your level is a great thing ! well done chap !

So sick dude!

Sick dude, congrats!

it's crazy how small this huge bowl looks like on video... I've seen it and even the upper part is kinda steep and scary. sick progression :)

I love the comment re backside disasters "your love for vert skateboarding is evaluated" - lol. I felt the same way every time I skated vert back in the day.

sick to watch! grats

Damn dude this is awesome.

rock n rolls are such a gnarly trick on vert because 1. you need to get your board on the deck. you just have to or else youll hang up easier. 2. you gotta keep your body in the bowl while your board is on deck or else itll be super hard to rotate back in. 3. its all or nothing. its so hard to bail out of this trick once its already in motion on vert. my worst slams are from rock n rolls. great looking trick when you get them though. this is a great video btw

VERT WILL NEVER DIE

Great video 💪💪

sending love from South Africa

Ruben a REAL one.

Great skating man. You should try out slob plants it’s a fun trick to have while cruising bowls.

yo that voice crack made me choke XD, good video tho bro i like ur style of editing and it's shit like this that motivates me

FUCK YEA!!!! vert is so gnarly and under appreciated

this video is really inspiring

Awesome skills and style dude! Another pretty easy trick is fakie 180 boardslide to rock n roll / fakie. Easier to get a long boardslide as you use the momentum of the 180 to propel you along.

dude youre so sendy on an 11ft bowl! Rock n Rolls are one of those super easy and super hard tricks. I still cant do them on my local 9 ft bowl. You should try ollie nose grabs (backside of course). They are super easy to knee slide out of and the slow ollie motion feels so nice once you get used to it on vert. I'm still learning to get those higher above the coping

ik woon ook in amsterdam en t is echt grappig om al die spots te zien

Super filmpje! Hou ook van vert. Jammer genoeg is het vinden ervan wat moeilijker. 😁

Dude you make drop ins look so easy

lekker bezig man

R.I.P to the old vert ramp. Maar gelukkig komt er een mooie nieuwe.

Protections can actually save ur life, I broke my left wrist and hit my claw pretty hard in my last fall, now im using protections everytime👍

I Dropped that halfpipe you did, RIP the halfpipe btw

Noice

Nice man. Mijn droom is ook om ooit vert te leren, maar in mijn dorp komt er dus een nieuw skatepark maar de oude (inclusief miniramp) wordt dus gesloopt zoals het nu lijkt. Beetje jammer als je net begonnen bent. Maar gelukkig hebben ze in Emmen ook een vette bowl, niet al te ver bij mij vandaan 🤙

yo I snorted with laughter when you panned over to the scooter park. hope you're still ripping

love from UK

I would like to come and skate with you in Amsterdam, I just learned to drop in on a vert and very stoked to keep practicing

Hard man

I dropped in a big vert at camp woodward(14ft i think)when i was 16 but i was purely a street skater unfortunately so never learnt more, now at 32 im trying to get out to verts, if only i kept at vert all those years!

Sick!

Havent skated for 10 years but a friend found his old board at his parents so we took it to a small park close to where we live now. It all just came back and i dropped the 90 degree quarter pipe first try :D

I love that ending "yessir!!"

just seen on instagram the vert ramp has been destroyed! do you know if the new one will be wood or metal again?

Cool video

Nice. Made me happy made me smile nice.

That's cool

YAYAYA i love drawing boards, i literally havent seen anyone else that rides them

💜💜💜

yay

Nice

Keep vert alive # groeten uit Breda heel mooi dit te zien ik Ben ook Pas begonnen dood eng indd

You're ripping vert!

I remember my first knee slide on the 14 foot vert ramp woo! My back was wtf that finger flip was sick! Just watched it while commenting lol oh yea my back was touching the ramp the whole slide down bet it looked hilarious 😂

I used to skate ramp (not vert because we don’t have one here) before corona but now I try to come back and it’s even scarier than when I just started for the first time...

1 year is so fast actually to learn all that stuff

I have a 12ft over vert ramp at my park in Lewisville Texas, (Railroad skatepark) I can drop in the 9ft, and I have it down pretty well. Any tips for the 12ft? I saw oververt because the coping is hanging more forward than the first start of the ramp. Plus it’s 12 ft. I have a fear of it. What should I do differently to overcome the fear?

Eigenlijk ben je echt goed bruh, groetjes uit België :)

nice👏👏👍🏻👍🏻

I’ve dropped in on vert 1 time. That’s too scary for me

is this in amsterdam NY and if so what town. i would like to skate this and i do think im nearby.

I spent pretty much half of my childhood on top of the 10 foot half pipe at my skate park. I have never once skated tho.

Lekker man

The video really motivates to maybe try a little bit more again than backside kick turns haha

we all need a ruben at our skatepark

lekker man

I landed my first ever drop in on a quarter pipe, im stokedddd

You should try learning inverts or front smith

You should test Andy Andersons deck!

Just skated vurt for the first time ever today

Does anybody have any tips for backside earlygrabs on vert

I whistle just like This when I talk sometimes. Oh Chris

What helmet are you using?

dude ken je die vert ramp bij kadoelen?

like 3 weeks ago. i literaly almost broke my arm falling from a 5-0 stall in a mini ramp

Vert is NOT dead!
