I went to my local skate shop to buy a new board and while I was waiting in line to buy the materials to build it I saw a grandpa with his grandkid and I told him to go ahead of me and he thanked me he paid for his grandsons board and waited, which was weird to me but paid no attention to but then he asked how much is his board and decided to pay for all my supplies because he skater when he was young. The community is really nice
Just a couple of extra things for people. I tend to use a countersunk bit on the top of the board before putting the griptape on so you get a better grip between the bolt and the board and it reduces the chance for a stress crack. The nuts on your hardware are known as Nylok nuts, when new they have a plastic piece that when you screw your bolts in, it cuts the thread into it making them not fall off due to vibration. When reusing hardware I would suggest buying like a 100 pack of 5/32 thread size nylok nuts so you always get that anti vibration feature. These are obviously all optional ideas it is just what I do
I skateboarded in high school, using a prebuilt board that was slightly too small for me. Recently, 4 years later, I decided to get back into it, and I wanted to build a board, and this video really helped me with the grip tape and the screw holes, so thank you for this. The board turned out great, it's noticeably better than my old board.
YOU ARE THE BEST PARENT IN THE WORLD FOR BUILDING A SKATEBOARD I know it’s the thought that counts but when a parent does their research for stuff, you can just tell they’re an amazing parent
I’m 16 and like 250lbs and some guy at Zumiez told me that you can never be too big to skate. So 2 months later I ordered my first ever board and I’m so excited to start and lose weight!
Bee. Following you for years now. Love it man. Watch alot of the vids with my step daughter and step little dude that's 9 months. Step daughter said ryden is cuuuute
Hey guys I doubt anyone will see this but I’m just getting into skating I got my first board but it’s delayed till may 10th but I’m so exited to get it!
i'm 15 year old girl and i've always wanted to start skating but i'm scared of judgement. i always see really ugly but expensive boards online so i figured building one myself with the help of my dad could come out cheaper since i'm really poor. ♡ thank you for this.
Thanks so much andy my board was starting to break and i had a deck in my house so i have everything from my old board and i just needed to learn how to put it together.
Turns out the guy that put together my board had installed one of the trucks on backward. I was wondering why I couldn't turn. After watching this I reapplied my truck on properly and I can now turn properly without having to do point turns. Thanks man.
Can you do some trick tutorials. I'm stuck on the shuvit. But there are a lot of beginner skateboarders that really want to learn something new. Also the advanced skaters are stuck somewhere and they might need some help. So this is a good way for us to learn something new while watching your videos and having fun at the same time. I love your videos. You are my inspiration to start skating. Thank you! Stay healthy!
I know how to assemble a skateboard and actually like to make completes(even if I don't need one)i enjoyed this video and andy is always entertaining...an all around great guy 😎👍 force and revive products are top notch 👏
This is out of topic but I just want thank the team at revive because I started skateboarding with a Walmart board which was garbage and I ordered one from revive and boy is it great and it has great customer service since everything is fragily packed and everything is perfect and ur vids are asweome
Where I grew up we put really thin washers under the grip tape so the screw didn't bite into the wood but you could get a really tight fit you'd feel it a little bit but lasted ages
get a walmart board or something, its better than nothing. you can better bearings and wheels and boom, you have a decent setup. I would suggest getting one with metal trucks over the plastic
@@GM-rm2qt fr man but now and days every kid has been getting bullied for having a walmart skateboard. i’ve been skating for 3 years now and i started off with a penny board. got made of but look who’s better then them now haha.
I was trying to get a skateboard, trucks,wheels,bearings and hardwear from your guy's shop but i only have 60 dollars and all together i need 182 dollors.To bad i dont have that but im a BIG FAN.Stay safe. I also dont have a tool.
