One question Ben: what are thooooose

“Skating is literally the funnest thing ever!” - Ben Degros, 2020

Thanks very helpfupl information :)

My board size since i started skating only difference i got shoesize 13 us now and not 8

I pooped today

i recently skated a 6 1/2 foot ramp dont recommend if your not comfortable giving skating your all and dont have much board time build a 2 footer to get confee with 1 foot is more fun to mess around on 3 feet is perfect for both beginners and intermediate riders, sk8 is life 🤙🏼

Going out to practice right away after watching this...still haven't got it yet but i'm close. I can feel it! I am learning that an ollie is a lot like trying to make a golf swing. There is a whole bunch of little things and movements that you need to do all at once and you can't really be thinking about any of them as you do it...challenging.

After twenty years of dreaming, I finally crushed a mini pipe in three days thanks to this. Wish I could post a pic. For those going the extra mile for a halfpipe, 2'x4'x16' built in three pieces works great (sitting on vertical 2x4s, so 21.5" height from the flat with a 4.5' radius). I tried 2'x4'x12' and the flat was way way too short, hence the third piece. I'm cheap and used a ~1.3" curtain rod, but better than the pvc I originally bought. I still need to build a hinging 17-24" top somehow (I have 3.5" right now so I can sort of fit it on a vehicle/trailer).

you hinge jumping made my night😂😂

Ben homie I really appreciate your videos they keep me excited about skating thanks for that!

Gonna start building a 3ft mini with my son in the back yard 💙

You Missed the most important one.. the Pivot Angle.. the steeper that is, the more turn per lean you get.. that is why a Longboard rear truck sometimes has a Horizontal pivot. Bushing sizes will have a small effect on turning The most important figure of how a truck turns is the angle from the Pivot cup to the Yoke..

How well did the countertop hold up to being skated?

Nobody mentions that ur jumping sideways due to the skateboarding stance... once i realised that from doing an acid drop the ollie unlocked! 😊

I first watched this over a year ago and I finally got em on lock!!! I can only do them switch tho

Dude the back hunch thing. Yooooooo majorrr

Wow! - I've been trying to ollie forever and the toe flick might be just the little bit of advice i needed - thank you so so sooooo much!

Sprained ankle says no

What are dimension of the mini ramp?

The hardest thing I find about doing these is keeping my board parallel-that seems to be the whole trick to it. I'm mostly parallel, but I still notice I have a bit of an angle that just ruins my slide & turns it into a curb bumper "kickturn" my best is about 6 inches long to a foot at best. These are way more difficult than they look, but so fun. Just stay parallel & lean your weight towards the curb, then just repeat 1,000 times lol.

Great vid. I’m curious is this your property or a community property?

your ramp builds are the best ive seen

Anyone knows a truck that can help me giving more pop? Thunders with risers have more pop than indys?

Carpentry is all about "Being smarter than the wood Ur working with!".

You have a whole other channel? 🎉👍

My 8.25 32x14.38 krooked on hollow Indy forged feels sooooo much shorter than my baker 8.25 31.75 x 14.25 on venture v hollow hi. I know venture stretches wheelbase but that much???? I need some insight lol

What are the tools names that you’re using in the video.

You think nore about this than the brands do lol

what shoes are you wearing?

In 2024 an 8.25 is the new 7.75😂

That gave me the most information then anything else.

which park is this?

Thanks for making this. Don't even have the materials but looking forward to getting this done.

Its easy if the distance （in horizongtal direction，not longitudinal direction ）between the axle and the pivitcup is longer it will be easy to turn ，vice versa

Man thaks a lot, i have been looking for a way to imrpove my ollies and i just found out what was missing. as i was thinking of the ollie as 2 steps, pop and then slide the foot, not making it as 1 movement.

I skate with some older dude I say older because I’m 21 . But they always trip on my board size 8.3-8.6 always telling me I’m crazy for flipping it around

you dont have to do the pop at all, you can do a regular fakie smith stall. the pop just adds a lot of style

Dude these tips helped so much!! Gonna try to put them into practice!!

As long as you do the safety squint it's ok

I noticed a lot of people tend to cross-lock BS 50-50s while heel-locking FS. Less of an angle & more of a straight Ollie I think

When you say a really long time; I've been practicing ollies for at least 2 years, and they still suck. Either they don't happen, or I land 90 degrees, or I don't kick to the nose, or I don't level it, the list goes on! I've been given a ton of advice, but something always goes wrong, almost like my body won't do everything my body tells it.

yes ben! I'm 36 years old now. gotta learn em

What gonna happen if you grind that with bmx?

I am so scared but i had this skate board for so long but i would always freak out, but i need to move around here

So wholesome.. thanks for

Hello brother, I'm from Brazil

I can do crooks ,lips ,I’ve done overcrooks,nose slides ,flip board slides ,noseblunts ,etc and I literally cannot 5050 on a round bar and it makes no fucking sense as to why I can’t do a 5050 on a rail but I can do all these other tricks. It pisses me off so I hope I can learn from this lol

I’m a single mum and I nailed it, kids love it Thankyou.. 🇦🇺💪
