Can anyone tell me what the minimal speed is for carving to become viable/possible?

What If my roads are shit

You don't need to have your arms out, I like to imagine I'm holding a basketball in front of my chest with my elbows out.

Here after I fell like a dog, pulled my hammy, chased down my board while limp running, and using my longboard as a crutch to get home walking.

Awesome video! Thank you!

I just got out the hospital because I got hit by a truck skating and I could’ve prevented that by knowing how to stop I was going down hill and I’m fine

Thanks for the tips. Great explanation. Subbed 😊

we need to bring DH/freeride back

Bought this on clearance. Had to bail while riding my board at a freeway entrance. A car (sedan) ran over it (right in the middle of the board). Thanks to the flex of the deck it didn’t break and i continued my ride. Good quality board, thank God! Since it is less than a week old.

Surprisingly, my Randal R2's are my first set of trucks since 2011, and they still work well even today (after affixing the kingpin in the baseplate with epoxy).

This video convinced me to buy a longboard from y’all 0:47 (cool) - God bless

this video convinced me to get a skimboard. peace

I love your tutorials very much though. I would love to see if there are any tricks you can do on a long board as i cant imagine alot of people do kick flips or heal flips but then i could be wrong

These comments bro got me cracking up

Lol

What’s the point of flipping the hangers?

You're straight forward and unflinching in giving some basic instructions which are somewhat rare qualities in a skater. Usually, like with computers, most techs are hugger-mugger covetous of imparting knowledge. That , having been said ; I know these basic things. My question is : is graphite good with steel bearings with double sided shielding, and what is the best application procedure?🧐

What trucks?

Can’t find an answer to this anywhere. Trucks on a longboard face opposite directions. For tightening and loosening, is it both the same direction based on the orientation of the board, or is it base d on the orientation of the trucks?

For a beginner, should the trucks be tight? I've just come by a longboard and it looks almost new (stock wheels, with very little damge or sceatches to either wheels or boards). It feels great to just push off on and get used to balancing but when I see other longboard vids folks seem to beable to 'carve' their boards and make them turn, so just wondering if I should losen my trucks yet/when stilla newbie

My god that was informative.

Have you all seen my Downhill longboard videos?

I am also goofy footed 🎉

Love you He does more - Jesus - Come Home, He doesn't expect perfections

Yes Jesus Loves you still - Come Home

I really gotta figure this out because my whole area where I live is just hills so I gotta figure out how to control my speed if I want to go anywhere

Watching this after eating pavement in a church parking lot

thanks man

Thank you! Very useful!

The wheels look tiny.

I stick my toe out from the board, not super comfortable that I can keep balance with my entire leg off the board. And definitely not comfortable with sliding.

How to stop seems pretty important for a beginner 😅😅

How do u stop?

“I’m what they call ‘goofy.’” I feel that.

I like this. Picked up a used board $15 and Im sure these tips will help me avoid falling to my doom!

When you go to stand on a board how do you stop it from making the board fly out from underneath you?

I've discovered that if you put your side set wheels on backwards it actually slides way more but you need wider trucks to make it work and look better.

About 172 pages!!!! Wow! that's alot of interest in one video about longboard wheels! The longboard community must be looking for more social interaction and comraderie and willing to share their knowledge and experiences.

This video seems super popular, because it has alot of comments!!! I mean just check it for yourself, you will scroll down many many pages!! Good to read these to learn alot about longboard wheels.

My neighborhood has a big straight street I live on, and then a huge hill where a lot do my friends live on. So I have to learn to bomb hills to unlock a new area.

I wanted to loosen the trucks on my 41" drop deck. The wheelbase is the extreme definition of wide. I think it's 30.

That was insanity. I wonder how fast he was going?

crazy)

The only time I fly off is when my foot hits the back wheel,..argh 😖

Been boarding for 5 years now and I remember watching this after my brother started, before I even owned one, lol, it helped a lot and its interesting to see the other side of this vid and really get a sense of how well he explained everything.

you're the best, Chris Pontius

my mom will be happy about this

What wheels does he have?

I should watch this before…

ate shit today on a hill needed this vid
