$15 SKATEBOARD VS $258 SKATEBOARD 

Is it just me or am I the only one when at a skate shop making a new deck I feel like I’m at subway having them make my sandwich

It goes uphill, downhill and John Hill

The first time I ever skated (before I got fat) was back in early high school, I originally thought it was just an easier way to get around. I learned ollies and shove its but that was really about it. I used a Walmart board during that time. Then during my junior year I got a part time job and had more money so I went to Zumies and bought like the best board they could build (circa 2008) cost me about 245$ out the door. I basically had to relearn how to ride because the newer board rolled smoother and I didn't have to pump as hard as I used to. The first time I rode it after I got home I pumped so hard I faceplanted and all my friends laughed at me, but I eventually got used to it. I even learned how to 50/50 and boardslide on it so I was pumped. I havent ridden a board in about 10 years now but I'd love to get back into it. There used to be this church where I grew up and on the backside of the parking lot was this concrete ditch we used to use as a half pipe. Those were the days hanging out there with all the kids from the block. No drama, no worrying about getting kidnapped or killed. No stress. It was paradise.

Me listening to the prices of the 'most expensive parts' *Cries in EU*

Am I the only one who didn’t start on a Walmart board My first board was $20 from target

Am I the only one that thought this was a Buzzfeed video at first

I got a 10$ skateboard from the second hand store.😂 Thunders trucks High quality wheels and expensive bearings ⚠️‼️

0:58 Homeboy actually looks kinda bummed that he is charging you so much for parts

Spent $16 a sheet on the Marilyn Monroe grip and got 1/3 of the sheet

The Buzz feed effect is what I call this

I think a better way to test this would be to get a beginer to try them both and see if the expensive board is easier for him because if you're good any board will be good enough

“get what you pay for” my neighbor gives me his old skateboard so i paid nothing 😎 well $30 cause i got new wheels

That guy at the end of the video riding the drifty cart made me happy haha

This man went from Braille guest to an amazing RU-vidr

You should have went to the 99 cents store They actually have skateboards for five dollars

Is it just me, or is everyone saying “is it just me”?

Dude really came outta nowhere driving in a skatepark like its a norm lmao

the bearings you got are double the price in the UK, damn America gets skate stuff cheap

My first board was like $100. Bought the parts and put it together (not a local shop tho, unfortunately) I also started end of high school, so I had more of a budget.

It's crazy how after six years these videos still hold up, it's almost impossible to find a video now that's six years old and not outdated as hell and cringe.

Why does it $258 skateboard have longboard wheels?

Now that is one good looking board. The Wal-Mart one truly is beautiful.

I wake up at 3am sometimes to go to exploring at creeks and forests but make a stop at the nearest skate park so that I can practice because I feel nervous as a beginner going there and ducking up every time around kids that have experience. I’ll comeback when I can do some tricks, maybe after a 5 months

This clip tells me that these guys can skate anything, and that a more expensive skateboard doesnt make you a better skater. They did some sick tricks on that 15 dollar deck ;-)

Who thought this was Buzzfeed?

Sauce.

8:08 is when the video gets good your welcome

Honestly, if you are strapped for cash and really want to get into skateboarding you can buy a $15 Walmart board and spend another $10 on bearings and you can start learning right away rather than waiting until you can get a proper setup. It is all about opportunity cost. You waste all that time you could be learning and getting more comfortable on a board. No excuses...just go skate!!!

Probably the only $1 vs $1000 video worth watching

I spent $95.60 on my skateboard and it's awesome.

Dude come sweden and ur gonna regret it boards here most basic board 40$ pro 80-120$ at online sk8 shops, trucks basic 30-40$, pro trucks like vent. ind 60-70$ grip tape basic 8$ mob 15$ shake junt 20$ hardware7-10$ basic wheels 30$ bones or spitfire wheels 60$

i love fuzz beed

"this is foreign, like my car and i don't even know how to drive"

i’m a skater girl. my first every board was from walmart. it’s snapped on the edge and then grip tape is gone. i can still manage a messy ollie though:) u guys are lucky to have all this money and boards! lots of love, a person

Me: being perfectly fine with just being able ollie and manual. Me seeing these people do insane tricks that I could never do: 👀👀👀

Legit thought I clicked on a buzzfeed video 😂😂😂 Good shit John ❤️

Dude on the go kart is the exact reason parks get effed up or closed down

buzzfeed has affected you too no John NOOOOO!

The editing just shows how 2017 was

I-orth W-t Presented by FuzzBeed

john, what a way of improving editing, i can tell you progress daily

My first skateboard was a Walmart Kryptonics Board and it was horrible! But I didn’t know any better and it was enough to get me into skate boarding. Walmart boards are great for starters, because I understand that people don’t want to risk getting an expensive board and then not liking it. If you do start out and get a Walmart Board, I do recommend changing the bearings!

Bro I remember watching this video a couple years ago that’s wild

I was watching BuzzFeed right before this and when I saw it I was so shocked thinking it was their video hahaha.

Where I'm from, Germany, all skate paraphernalia costs almost double the US price

My dumbass thought this was a buzzfeed video.

john hill: this is the most expensive skate board 57,000$ Supreme skate board: hold my money

Yo in Canada 🇨🇦 $260 is not a lot for a skateboard

Dale listens to NAILS? I like him even more now!

Those decks are frickin cheep, here in Belgium the most decks are like 65 Euros each, that's 75 dollars

4:16 He ate the camera

The graphics card I just bought costs more than that board and I never got into skateboarding because I thought it was expensive

If this is the new standard for the videos, I can only be stoked on videos every other day or whenever you feel like :D

This is coming from someone coming back to skateboarding after an almost 12 year hiatus (and who was never "good" by any definition before that), so I might as well be a beginner: repeat that again-- If you're learning, buy a complete at [your local] skate shop. If you're learning, buy a complete at your local skate shop. *If you're learning, buy a complete at your local skate shop.* Plus, if you think you might end up making a long-term hobby of skating, you should get to know the people that work at your local skate shop anyway. They're usually some of the chillest people you'll ever meet in "retail," and they'll know everything you need to know about buying a board.

2:16 *EPIC INTRO FOR SKATERS 2:24 John Hill: DUUUUUUuuuuhhhh

loved the editing in this one john

is it just me or is does the dude in the white hat look like shia labeouf?

in australia it's at least $60 for a board, but normally about $100

Ah yes, I watch FuzzBeed.

John should make a talk show and get pro skaters on it (sorta like nine club but John is the most lit dude ever so it'd be better)

The posse intro was sweet haha

i live in switzerland and for a decent board you will pay at least 490$

Aye thanks for supporting the local shops in LB, I appreciate it and I’m sure every other skater here does too

By my Walmart they sell Darkstar completes for $80

Mocking buzzfeed. Now that's something I can get behind

I know nothing about skating, but this came up on my recommended. Loved it, new sub.

Lmfao the editing when the go kart showed up🤣

I have the bones swiss in my longboard, and I love them. I'm pretty sure I've over hyped them in my head and made them seem better, but I think they feel great and roll so much longer.

Now he made me want to buy a 200$ skatbord

wtf is Walmart

I was gonna close the video, but he mentions Long Beach... *slowly rotates phone to watch*

That expensive board was fire🔥🔥

Nothing makes me laugh more then when someone calls dale a idiot or something like that 😂😂

I landed my first kick flip watching your videos today

8:10 the ultimate snake

That spongebob part had me dying

Didn’t get Swiss Ceramics for the bearings. Lol

that kart is fucking sick!

Omg you were in silverado park I am 2 years late 😭

Proof it's skill not just the board

John can you do a q and a with the homies

you look like discounted bruno mars

Ngl I always wach you're vids when I'm setting up a new board

“Not with those wheels you bought” soft wheels are way better and more versatile than hard wheels. Modern skateboarding was invented on those types of wheels

is no one gonna talk about Dale's NAILS shirt?!

2:01 LMAO THAT WAS SO FUNNY and 2:17 AHAHAHAHAHAHA WAIT TILL THE END

I expected the 258 dollar board to have truffles

So you're gonna do a giveaway with that board, right?! :)

John finally missed a day with no video, wow💔

Damn, just 1 min and comments are active as fuck (fuck "AF")

Wtf the ending had me laughing so hard 😂

I wish you could buy decks for $60 in Australia

Early squad where you at????

Geez a complete board here (Canada) is about $200 + tax

me:buzzfeed nah fam me:fuzzbeed yes fam

today I bought 2x Independent trucks: $24 Bronson bearings: $30 Spitfire wheels: $30 none of my local shops had deck I was into so I will order one online. I'm looking to pay about 55 to 60 dollars. that's a total of 168 dollars. this is the first time I am buying a new setup since I was in middle school. Back then it did cost 120 but now I'm paying 160 wtf

Bro that guy at the end was lit
