Loved this video guys, really glad to see Wolf still out ripping too. There's a new pump track by me with huge berms, like 6ft tall. Been trying to get faster there and I think this will help a lot.

[benmclennan]

This is the video I've been wanting! Lot's of good info, technique and tips. Tomorrow is the day I finally make it around the track!

[millertime]

This is awesome! I literally found out my city has a pump track 2 days ago and I had no idea how to approach the berms! Great video!

Wolf, I feel you. Traveling with a Penny Board and pump track ambition led to a sprained wrist. Still feeling it 4 months later. Glad you all talk about the longer board, and recommend wrist guards til you get the hang of it. A 22” is a death trap!

Rally Cat lets go! You guys are awesome! Thanks for the tips 😊

[borsuk]

It's great that you released new videos because I was hungry for them!
Here's a new video about the pump track. Great 😁

[MavadoKen]

Can we get a video on how to find a pump track?! All I ever find are skateparks or bmx pumptracks made from wood or dirt.

[rus]

I thank Alex and Landyachtz for such a cool and clear guide to the pump track 👍🏻🛹

[MsnNagant]

love to see another post from the landy crew what i mean by the crew is alex and wolfgang coleman!

[nesdowo]

Alex you are the man! Your friends braids are sick AF too 😎

[Salvatore-ihmh]

Can you do a video on how to do check slides?

[lindaozo]

Loved the specific advice you're serving! ❤ I'm still having problems with absorbing the peaks, especially if I go fast, sometimes the peak hits me so hard that my back foot loses the board for a bit (which is sketchy) and when it lands it's not in a good position. Any advice on this?

[Chris-sizh]

Is that Cam in the cover photo? Is he still with you guys? Awesome skater. You are too.

[slozinsky]

Is this pump track in Metro Vancouver?

[keeganireland]

What board would you guys recommend for general cruising and riding my local pump track? I’m a bigger dude weight wise not height and have a size 9.5 foot.

[claywiththefootage-Clayton]

Hey there I have a question 🙋‍♂️
What helmet do you where I thought it looked cool on you I would like one

[wallygillespie]

Hey landyachtz i really want a tugboat and atv but dont have the money for it 😕 do yall have any recommendations

[Mr_.skeleton]

I just got a golden deck with my dingy blunt. Am I supposed to skate it or put it on my wall

[mihailwarsavski]

I love my longboard for how it can handle bigger hills and also huge bumps in the city and remain stable. Only problem is it’s too big sometimes yk? Any help would be appreciated. It HAS to be super stable because I love using it down huge hills, but it ALSO has to be SUPER good at riding over bumps and cracks that you see often in the city and places with rough rough terrain

[emilia]

i have a pretty low landyachtz board with drop-through trucks and im always scraping the bottom of my board on the hills, is there any way to fix that?
