ALL SKATEBOARD SHAPES EXPLAINED! 

Aaron Kryo: the host Mike Osterman: the expert Yuta Fujii: the 👍

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to share this stuff! There is SO MUCH that goes into designing a skateboard and we love that more skaters want to learn more about it. Also YUTA’S ENGLISH! YESSS!

Braille should make custom shapes 👍

Of the two styles for freestyle skating, Yuta's one seems to be the one for me to start with. Seems to be the one that matches me best

Just gonna say, the 80’s one you had was actually an early 90’s board. The early 90’s ones had tiny wheels and the 80’s ones usually had VEEERY small noses, if not none at all, with big wide wheels.

Nice. Was watching just to watch but learned something thats been bugging me was the measurement for in between. All i heard was "14" (wheel base*) and just clicked what they/it means now. My skateboard comes today. So excited with my old self

I got my forst board and didnt think about shape too much, because i wasn't aware about it. My brother got regular popsickle 8' and i got freestyle 8' and it has shorter wheel base. Can i still use it for street skating?

Im fascinated by other people's set-ups ! Im constantly tweaking my set up to get optimal performance . Ty Braille for another banga !

I love skating but I don't have my own skateboard, my friend was having one skateboard he helped me learning skating. I can't afford it bro , but when i watch your videos then i am thinking to buy it in future

Would be interesting to see you guys do a video on longboard freestyle/dancing. In fact, on the many sub-genres of longboarding

i cant even imagine a world where mike o is in a video and i dont thumb it up. KEEP DANCIN!

im curious what @Mike Osterman thinks of andy andersons board shape. from what i remember of andy talking about it, a lot of the unique things that set his shape apart from a popsicle shape, were intended to make freestyle tricks easier...but his board is so much different from a typical freestyle board. does mike think freestyle tricks are easier on andys board vs a popsicle?

Aaron and Mike make a great team for getting people interested in skating, and making it accessible.

Nice subject. But I would have liked to also see all the other shapes like cursers, longboards, and the lovely Anderson's shape that I waited 2 years to be abble to order in france thanks to covid ^^ Nice to have you back Aaron! The quality of the videos increased quicly! Thanks

Dude thank you guys so much you have changed my skating progression drastically I just did a kick flip yesterday because of you I really appreciate it and I’ve Watch almost every single video you’ve posted since I started skating 3 months ago❤️

We need more love in the skate boarding community all around and all skater should post the progress or skate vlogs

It would be pretty neat to see a vid about different skateboards from different eras. I remember a cousin of mine had a skateboard from the 70s and it was completely different from the skateboards of today. I saw footage from that era using that same skateboard and was blown away how similar they rode their boards like surfers

1:46 That's an early 90's shaped board. Christopher Hiett skates an 80's shaped board with a flat nose, just like the iconic Vision Gonz board 👍 Sorry to correct you Aaron 🙏❤️

Thanks for your fun and informative content! Keep it coming!

interesting vid but cool

I been surfing for 17 years. I love how surfing influenced skating ! I ride a Powell peralta Mike V elephant shaped board! The shape reminds me of a dope little surfboard. I ride my trucks super loose to make pumping easier . I feel like I’m on a wave everytime I’m riding at the park . 🙌 thanks Braille for all the stoke 🤙

ive been subbed to these guys for the longest and they have never made one boring video! keep it up

Today my younger brother gave me his old board cuz I was thinking about trying to learn some stuff, he shows up and he’s got the braille revive nacho vs pizza board😂😂Wich is now mine

Been sub to y’all for a long as I can remember, you guys have yet to disappoint

im 33 i have never had a skateboard before, after seeing soo many of theses videos i brought a cheap board for £50, i am surprised how hard it is to balance, might be able to do a kickflip in a year lol

I’m a brand new skater never skated in my life but I saw a sk8board in my garage it’s my moms old board it looks very weird though it’s green and blue says nash on it and only has one tail I came here for info. Thank you 🙏🏽

I am one of the 40 year olds thinking about freestyle. Think it might be my winter project.

This video was very interesting and helpful. I only ever knew of the 80s sort of cruiser style and the modern boards we use today most commonly. Thank you.

Those dudes are gnarly freestyle skaters. Probably the best guys to explain different board shapes.

Can you guys do a video on the hybrid boards?

Love to see people geek out over things they are passionate about! First Try!!✌🏻❤️

I love the whole skateboarding community and the sport as a whole. Style, hardwear the boards. Im not the best in tricks and have skated actually for very short amounts of times but i still skate when i can. I lost my board that i built couple years ago with my last apartment when i moved and it was perfect for me at that time. Im planning to do a new build when i have the money 👍

I had a board I made that was tunes to what I wanted to do with it which was everything but vert cause I cant drop in yet lol but that board was amazing unfortunately I lost it 😢

Love this type of content honestly. I would like to see hear ELI5 / braille version of all the different types of boards for street skating, park, tranny, vert, and freestyle

Best skateboard setup for cruising 8.25 inch posicle deck 80mm cruising wheels High reverse kingpin trucks 10 inches across Your wheels will stick out a bit but man its a blessing to ride. Thank me later Second tip is: get the revel kit & 8.25 inch skateboard. But attach 95-97 mm wheels Perfect to get from a to b

When Aaron said I typically like my tail tapered and my nose really wide, I thought to myself have I been riding my skateboard backwards my entire life? I always assumed the wider end was the tail because that's where your dominant foot is most of the time popping tricks 🤷‍♂️

3.5k views? 🙄 definitely one of the worst channels 😒

should have been "all freestyle board shapes explained" cause they didn't mention banana boards, penny boards, or double tails. they missed a lot. Transworld's "The History of Board Shapes" is probably what most people ending up here are looking for and it does more in 3 minutes than this video does in 15.

i love aaron kyro

all terrian was lit

Thank you for explaining all Skateboard shapes have a great day 🙃👍

Wish Aaron had followed up with the question at the end about what techniques and tricks to start with.

Love yutas expressions lol happy to watch this video

keep it up!

Excellent video! If one of my previous video comments was of those you spoke about as inspiring this video idea, cool! And, I offer an update: I went on the Powell-Peralta site on Saturday and ordered an Andy Anderson Heron Flight Deck 9.13... According to the tracker it should be arriving this Friday!! I also picked up some Independent Slayer trucks, and currently looking at some Bones 59mm wheels. Lol... I forgot all the stuff that goes into building a board. Deck, trucks, hardware, bearings/washers/spacers, wheels, grip...

Hi braile I am a 14 year old boy from pakistan I once commented on Ur vid and Ur shorts channel replied send us some clips .I have mailed u some clips pls check my clips and my board

Let’s goooo I needed this

Mabye a video on the freestyle set up. Trucks, wheels, skid plates. I have not seen a lot of freestyle stuff at skate shops.

Did yall travel back to 1991 for the green board with the bearing condoms?

Freestyle Skate my Duster 💯🙌🏻

Fyi to appropriately measure the wheelbase it’s hardware to hardware from the center of the hole, which will be slightly longer than baseplate to baseplate.

make a tutorial on how to quintuple laser flip

i have the first style deck I have big red kryptonics on it and most of my set ups.

New idea for a series, two members of the Braille team get a begginer skater and each episode teach them something, start with the fundamentals of riding and then go through skateboarding made simple volume 1 and then whatever the prodigy wants to Learn at the end of the series have a showdown contest style, you could call it Braille prodigies, the idea isn't to see who is the better teacher or skater, the idea is to encourage new skaters to ask for help from others and how far they can progress from doing so, Ps I will soon make two decks from Australian Red gum and send them thru one for the boys to skate and one for Ricky to do with as he pleases

What's the best skateboard for me?I'm 59 yrs old. I don't want to do tricks. I just want to cruise down the street safely for exercise and to have fun cruising. ✌️🇺🇸

If ur going of snowboarding terms a normal skate bored would have a camber shape to it

I have a deck. If I measure from the hardware holes to the tip. One is 6.5in the other is 7in. Which is the tail? The bigger, or smaller side? And why?

where can i buy yutas board and what price range is it

everyone should own a waltz board.. so we NEED that link!

Would love a wheels video next 🔥🔥

Yeeees! I was asking about this in the discord!

Hello

I❤️ all your vids

Why do so few people skate with rails anymore? Yet everyone is constantly waxing the shiznitz outta stuff. Rails "wax" stuff for you, people!! AND reduce wear and tear on the wood, making your board last longer. And preserve the deck graphics. And hardly weigh anything. Some brands of rails in the 80s were SUPER slick. Copers could do that too if you just throw em on for a few grinds. But they're heavy and annoying to take off and remove repeat. So screw copers unless you're at a park which requires them. In which case you'll notice how slickly "waxed" the coping is. Remember folks: Wood (usually) makes a terrible lubricant or friction reducer. Bring back rails! \o/ Long live rails! \o/ WOOT

I'd like to see some Freestyle style skating on this chanel!

Hi.. What about width? I think narrower for street/ tech, wider for bowls/ vert..? Ofc. everyone can have it different

Ya need to put some proper wheels on that Dog Town board.

SHOOTER MCGAVIN

my new deal siameese that looks just like the shaped deck you have with 169 titanium and 56 nano cubics and its the most comfortable board. i have so much control . no thanks on the freestyle . i need lots of curved concrete .im 50 and i have been skating since 85 and i would be a fool to waste all these bowls every where

I’m a street skater And haven’t skated in over a decade but I’d like to get back into it as freestyle skater (41) I can still land 360 flip And various other tricks But I’d really like to learn freestyle skating ,like they don’t have any videos on how to do freestyle or even skate teams? Maybe 🤔 I’m wrong? -Idk 🤷‍♀️ I know Rodney (legend) Mullen was a freestyle skater 🛹 that started & created most of streets trick seen today & invented the one I spoke of (360 flip) Along with a F-ton others Like the most popular ones Casper slide and dark slide that he debuted in one of the earliest Plan B video back in the day..,That one with Pat Duffy in it.. (classic) think I still have it on VHS?

oldest skateboarding is slalom, but the best kind is pool skating, thats where the fun was

I'm 27, want to get back into skating. yuta is fun to watch and definitely want to try going that style. What board would I specifically buy for that?

Braille should Make how to freestyle videos

I don’t know what size popsicle board I should use because I don’t know if height and shoe size comes into it if so what would you recommend if I’m 5,5 and size 6 shoes that’s would be GREATLY appreciated

😢I can't find 9.0 in boards.. guys? U guys know where I cans find 1 😔

For me to get back into skateboarding, I'd feel more comfortable using a cruiser board as I'm 47, and it takes longer for my ingery to heal

Sorry man but the shaped boards from the 80s were not specialized for transition

I’m 18 and I’m extremely new to skating all I know how to do is ride one ive got a board like that old one and I’m not to worried about trucks yet is there any tips you can give me I may not find in the videos?

Trying to do frontside 180 and kickflips and board slides and Ollie off curbs and boxes

Black Men

that is not an 80's board its an early 90,s board. 80s boards had tiny noses.

You guys need to show the various styles of longboard some love

what is the different between double kick board and Popsicle board the two have tail right?

Can you do one on the welcome skate boards I have the Nora vasconcellos board and I wanted to know what tricks are best for that kinda shape

Great video! Very informative 🛹

first

Braille lance dance on a longboard. 🤨 Where is the longboard ❤️ love.

cool i was thinking of using a freestyle board as a cruiser i found one all flat and just a tail

I saw a board at my skate shop its the only one my size but its mroe squared thought id give it a try

Can u guys make a vid of making a popsicle to fit freestyle skate?

More Mike, more freestyle, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaasseesszzzzeeeiiiiizzzeeee

Osterman’s like a child stuck in a 30 year old body

yuta was confused a bit

Ur the best guys

I love the twin tail skateboards 8.3 real twin tail

So happy arrons back the vids need his energy

❤️❤️

I remember freestyle decks had little to no concave

"pretty straight forward" I see what you did there.

im 31 and I street skated for like 15 years starting at 8 years old, took a hiatus and now i'm looking into picking up a board from waltz and learning freestyle to save my knees lol.
