I turn 30 in 8 hours. Just bought an "element" deck off ebay. You know the one from tony hawk pro skater. No kids never married. Feeling my youth slip away. Gonna try to learn a kick flip lol

This video helps a lot!
I was a skater when I was 15.
Now I'm 37 and decided to skate again.
This video gives me some kind of refresh for my memory and now I know what to choose👍🏻

Just went in my local shop Cowtown skateboards in Phoenix AZ bought a cowtown deck, cowtown 54mm wheels Bones Redz bearings, jessup grip tape, already had some old nice thunder trucks just got back into skateboarding with my little niece

Awesome quick guide max!, now days there are so many choices for skate equipment. I think one thing people should watch out for is those prebuilt completes and price point boards that seem to be slightly better quality then big box store completes.

After more than 10 years, I’ve been wanting to get back on the board. This video gave me some great reminders that I know are going to set me up for some good times ahead. Can’t wait to get my new skateboard!

I love supporting local brands. There are a lot of board pressers out there that make custom boards that are local as well. I personally prefer life boards which are pressed just a couple hours away from me.

I have nearly the same story about bearings. Bought a board when I was 14, it was from a local shop but i skimped out on the bearings, 2 weeks later i was rolling and they just kinda ground to a halt. Went back to the store and explained what happened and they gave me the REDS. Solid bearings, was an instant fan.

Great video, thank you for refreshing my memory after a big timeout from skateboarding!

Skated street and freestyle as a teen and loved it, I want to start back again now at 37. This was super helpful as I've completely lost touch, so thank you for that!

My deck back in the day was an Almost Deck, Spitfire Wheels, Bones bearings (but used swiss) and some cheap trucks I had lots of issues with haha.

Will probably head to a shop and figure out a new deck for my Flat Foot (I'm so old!) and with your recommendations for the rest, what are the main differences in using bones reds over swiss?

[arielcigarroa]

Thank you Max, until now I see about concave I thought it had to do with the brand and not that it was a size, in my country is hard to find your best skate since there is not much options to choose

[Freddyshred]

i used to be told to used bones redz cause the ol team used them.. and i was the black sheep out of the city. i wiuld explode a bearing every week. the local skate shop coukd not understand how i did this for some reason it was always doing half calb heel flip nose grab (trick i've been doing for 23 years) down flight of stairs lol.. i was checking skateboard brand. i am starting again. i was hoping for great companie. as what i use to rude is either dead or mass produces at lower quality. but this was a great video... pays the extra for de bones ceramic if you are going to skate hard..

[pirax]

Want to get back into skating. Appreciate the vid bro. Gonna have to check out Fargo when I'm in town again

[walzwalzwalz]

Just got back into skating Chi and built an art dept spade cruiser and baker popsicle. Super stoked. Thanks for your vids they’re super helpful for a local!

I wish I knew this back when I was in high school skating... I never thought all of this. But I did notice how different decks elevated my skills. I would of liked getting that same preference every time and see how good I could of got

[cwatson]

I'm just trying to get back into the hobby after 20 years and ive been going crazy overthinking things lol. Like trucks....Thunder, venture or indys? high or low trucks? Wheels.. The powell dragons as im in the northeast and really bad roads or the new Andy Anderson nano cubics or the Formula 4s? What size wheel, 52 or 54? Do i go with a more square wheels which i like the look more or do i go with a rounded one? And last but not least truck size...I saw some guys go a ¼ up in size to have the wheels in line with the board which i like that look best but will that affect learning flip tricks? Yeah im definitely overthinking things lol
