This was really helpful, I recently got the urge to learn how to skateboard and your TikToks and videos are pretty helpful

I'm an older skater who wanted to get back into boarding. I knew I was going to build my own board and I used the interweb to do some research before buying. I did go to Zumiez, but everything I picked was top notch, so quality was never an issue. Was it more than I wanted to spend, yes, but I got exactly what I wanted. The fact that I like my board makes me want to ride it more. When I left Zumiez, every employee loved my board. Even at the skatepark, I get compliments on it. It fits me, it looks good, and I'm getting more comfortable with it everyday. However you decide to purchase, make sure you like it and are comfortable with it. If not, you will regret your purchase and will not ride it.

This deserves more recognition! I'm trying to educate myself before I get a skateboard. This was very helpful. Thank you!

Edit: Posted this a week ago and with all the research I've done my mom agreed to let me get a skateboard. It's coming Within about a week!

Thanks for all the help I’ve watched other videos but this one was the best!👍

Damn man, as someone who contemplated about starting out skating, I loved the vid, and the production!
You'll get big soon if you continue like this!
Considering that I don't know your equipment, i would recommend a brighter key light with lower iso, would help a ton ;)

[anasofiahernandez]

This helped out so much thank you! I still have a few questions tho... what type of skateboard should I get, and what type of deck depth should I get?

[aidanluna]

Thanks for the help! Me and my girlfriend are hoping to start skating soon.

I’ve been skating for years but I loved watching this

[edsnbtcn]

thank you, this video helped me a lot. I'm 32 years old but still, learning how to skateboard is one my dream.

[caitlinbaggot]

For the size of the board I got a little confused. I’m around 5”2, 5”3 what would be a good size. Sorry I didn’t understand that bit.

[vojtaano]

thanks! this is the exact video i was looking for. appreciate your work man!

[tinecerne]

What are the best wheels for crusing but still good for some basic tricks

[esteraszymeczko]

I was looking at some boards online and most of them I can’t afford but I found one that is more affordable. The price is much lower than usual but the board looks small and they didnt include a size in the desc.. is it worth it or should I wait until I can afford a better one?
