you for the Tips by Video. I am 54 yrd @ Japan. I was going to a come back to the Long-skate boards on VOCD19`s little Lock down city. Your video makes to help me for my skate board`s life. Thanks... By the way, I have been in Nashville TN and NY @ 1990` ~.

Thank for the video, could you maybe introduce the adjustment of the trucks in terms of turning. Also maybe a little tutorial of how to turn and getting a good turning radius? I noticed when I try turn, my board hardly turns, even if I loose fully. However, I see other longboarders turning 180 easily, without popping their boards up or doing any kind of sliding..

The modern magic of the double tap the right side of the screen to skip 10 seconds forward too

this was cool but you didnt talk about how tight to make the wheels..

[Beast-lvyj]

Hey thanks for the videos they have helped me a lot

Love your beginner tutorials - Why would you flip your hanger? What’s the purpose of doing that?

Ohhh yeah it's time to install my paris truck's and new divine 70mm 78a wheels.. thanks for the tutorial;)

[lorenaeliasen]

Probably a dumb question. Why would I want to switch the hanger? I have a long board that has started to turn super fast and I don’t know how to fix it.

Flipping the truck hangar blew my mind 😂😂

Hay hope you'll see this question,
so i have a long dancer long board, and I have a additional place to move tracks forward and back, can you explain please the set ups behind that ?

[mattg]

Awesome, thanks for the video. Very informative. Just ordered a skate tool so I can wrench on my new Carver Super Surfer.

[samwitbay]

Can anyone tell me what type of board he has I really want a board like that plz...

[philorida]

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

[friktionrc]

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

[rebecamoya]

what affect does flipping your truck hanger do?

[Dec.H]

Wgat board style is that its just what ive been trying to look for for ages

[DrownEmOut]

How tight should the screws be on the base plate?

[Jake-jgjz]

I once loosened my kid pin so much that it fell out and my truck fell apart, is that supposed to happen?

[carsongates]

Hi, im thinking of getting a new board but im not sure what id want. It would be almost like a cruser but also have that down hill boming capibility and im not sure abput what parts (trucks, wheels) to get. Any help?

[apexprofessionalhoning]

I have trucks that say 50 degree on one side. Are they supposed to be facing the same side or opposite ends?
