DO NOT use soap as a wax substitute. When it rains the soap will foam up and it will actually remove the wax that was already on that curb. I made that mistake as a kid and ruined a curb I had been building up wax on for a couple of years.

bit late to the party, but im a street/road worker. when we have old aluminum signs we typically just collect and then scrap, maybe get like .30cents/pound usd. might be worth a shot to ask your local municipality if they have old signs, give em to you for free or super cheap

so i didnt watch the video yet, but the tab on a wheel bolt works. But i had to put one on my dirt bike to get outta the hills. i lost my axle nut somewhere al all I could find was a tab and speaker wire. so I wrapped the bolt threads with the stripped bare wire and then twisted on the tab. made it up and over the mountain and safely back to the trucks. Im surprised someone else had to find this hack. lol

check this tip out!!
for those who can't afford new skate shoes every month, you can use a (hot glue gun) on the flip sides of the shoes, after it gets melted from flipping put a good amount and let it cool down it kinda create a good tough extra layers and you can repeat the same process once the layers almost melted again and you can skate your same shoes for a long time. i've been using this method from long time ago when i can't buy a new shoes and i've never seen anyone talking about it in youtube it was a life changing thing for me!
( be careful from the hot glue when you use it, it hurts so bad if it touches your hands )

Good shoe tip. Use old jeans cut out and wood glue at holes on shoe. Simple and efficient, and bottom of the shoe you can use wood glue or super glue with old bike tubing or even jeans, old shoe ect

For a cheap Cruser board what I have seen is people buy a Kryptonics cruiser board often sold for under $50 if under 222 pounds then upgrade the trucks either with stuff they have already have on the riser or work on upgrading the trucks in the cushion spacer parts of the trucks and adjusting the rest of the action to their liking.

1:23 for beginners drawing foot positioning with chalk or a stick helps

even cheaper way is to just tighten the wheels to where it barely spin or don’t spin.

About guitar stands - you can buy these guitar wall hangers as well - they're dirt cheap and are very good for hanging skateboards

I can't share your criticism on skate trainers. I haven't tried them yet, but I'm totally comfortable on a rolling board (I owned boards on and off for about 20 years - cruisers and longboards in the last years though), just didn't really learn any tricks yet (mostly commuting). Practicing flatground tricks is a whole different thing - it's scary imho..

Also Its good to look out for sales i got a pair of Adidas Superstars for 60 Bucks when normally they cost like 100

I started skating around 2 or 3 years ago but because of covid and how I have really rocky driveway I couldn't really practice much and also my board rusted and doesn't turn properly so last monday I got a new board from salt rock and now I can finally go down slopes without crashing into my brother while at the skatepark and the new skateboard goes in a staight line (my old boards base for the trucks was not aligned with the other truck so yeah)

Back in the days I used to collect my grandma’s burned out candles and burned them into one chomp and use that as wax it was working really well 🤘😎

[itmeurdad]

When I was a kid we melted crayons and smeared it all over the unpainted concrete curb in front of our poor neighbor's. It was unsightly and messier than shit especially when it melted in the summers.

Mobbed through the hood again recently and the entire sidewalk is still blacker than the asphalt next to it. I'm convinced we took thousands off that poor dudes asking price, and he never said a word to us.

Another hack you can also use candles as wax they work really well but don’t light it just use a normal stick of candle and use it
