hahaha fuck yes :D I'm extremely happy that you commented about it haha I was editing and just HAD to insert it when I hear myself say it

Mocha Bean I

Hans Wouters Ik heb op mijn hele deck griptape en het viel me op dat jij dat niet had. Er werd mij in de winkel gevraagd of ik het alleen wilde op de tails of op het hele board. Maar maakt het wat uit? Want ik vind het minder mooi als het er helemaal op zit en als het niet uitmaakt hoe haal ik het er dan af op die bepaalde delen?

Hans Wouters did you understand me because I can do it in english

Oh god... I just subscribed after hearing that and opened the notifications. 😂😂😂 That's really funny

Good point! I recently rewatched it myseld and regretted that too. Hope it's still clear enough tho :)

myself*

Love how you are prepared to admit mistakes and looking to improve. 👌👏

Hans Wouters that response to critique was 👌🏼

We live and we learn :)

holy shitttttttt 😂😂😂 how did u hear thatt 😂

I CANT UNHEAR IT

😂Trying to rap to it

BROOOO I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT IT DAMMMM🤣🤯🤯🤯😂

Hahaha wth this comment

Jup you got it haha

that joke was hilarious

Yes crazy haha :) Danksssssss!!!

Did you mean to put a comma and not a decimal point? Lol😂

Dehli Veri , He has 133,000 now

@@bee8415 some countries use decimal rather than comma in those places

Oh well haha glad you are here and appreciate it :) well that's too bad cause the skate community can use some girl power

Hans Wouters damn right (:

You are my idol in making RU-vid channels yet I wanna learn more tricks

You gonna film it?

+Space Tunes I have videos up but I need to learn to slide and tricks

Thanks a lot!

I filmed as much as possible :)

I think this is a perfect explaination dude, thanks :) Wouldn't have been able to say it as spot on as you do!

Hahaha very welcome :D

haha well you'll get used to it man :) If you had the perseverance to learn them on a Penny, you can learn them on an other deck too :)

The Gaming Panda YOU CAN DO TRICKS ON A PENNY?! SHIT, YOU'RE GOOD.

LimoRay X319 actually, tricks on a penny are pretty fun and invigorating! Especially if you want a challenge

Do you have the smallest one ?

Very true words. Thanks a lot btw, I'll see you next time then!

Do you like it???

To buy another

What kind of board did you buy?

Eva Jackson Sorry i don’t remember it was a while ago lmao

Same :/ I would've bought a dancing deck if I watched this before. I got a pintail, instead

Andyxiety damn bro good luck with that fr

@@nicmunro Thank you a lot buddy, I'm starting software engineering college soon so hopefully I can get my hands on a longboard till then :)

+BookCatLady X awwww thank you so much. It means a lot to me and I truly appreciate it ❤️Good luck with learning to ride and at uni. Plus have fun with it of course :)) Big hugs from Belgium!!

Very glad to read that, I'll try my best to to so :)

Thanks a lot :)

+Hans Wouters no problem man. Thank YOU ! 👌🏻

Wow haha thanks a lot!! :D

Thanks a lot!!!

Emily Wong ✊🏾✊🏾❤️

Me too!

Thanks a lot :D And you're very welcome!

Hi there! First of, thank you so much. That means a lot to me, for real!! I understand that you're afraid to do something wrong, I searched for a video in which they do it like I do and this is pretty much what i'm doing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v2Yf3AocEnM.html I recommend just going to a hardware store and asking for something to clean out bearings. The WD40 of this video isn't ideal but honestly, I don't know it ll that well either. I just use something for the hardware store after asking them for something that cleans out bearings without getting them rusty or anything. Also, where are you from? Cause it depends on where you live what stores there are. If you're from Europe I recommend Sickboards.nl, otherwise just google for something in your country :) Anyways, you'll be fine! Honestly it's just a piece of hardware so you can't really fuck it up too much haha so don't worry about all that. My wheels are cracked in the core 99% of the time and I still skate them, I've skated on broken trucks for months and had fucked up bearings too. I will work on a board maintenance video this summer btw, coming asap! Have an awesome week(end) and big hugs from Belgium!

Hans Wouters wow, thanks for acrially replying :D I'm from Serbia, not being in the EU makes it a bit harder xD thanks for the video and the advice, I'll be sure to go check it out and I'll ask the hardware store about the cleaning product. Actually replying to my post shows how real you are! Thanks for the assistance and good luck with your future endeavors :D

+Michael njoku thanks a lot for the stoke haha. Very welcome, hope you have fun with it!!

Thanks! Check my other tips vids as well then :)

thank you so much :)

+Zuzu G thank you so much, that's sick !

Very glad to hear that :)

watch his beginner vids they are amazing

ongboarding in terms of cruising/carving+freeride is set of trade offs in terms of instability & pure joy of riding : below is my thoughts. disregard bushing recommendations if doing tricks/sliding. weight of person will affect total riding experience. 110-140lbs=super lucky & pick & choose whatever you want as gravity is not a bitch to you esp w sliding/tricks/downhill 165+=need to consider weight of board & wheels to optimize riding scenario as gravity will fuck w you esp doing tricks/slides get rid of washers alltogether except for 45deg base plates. where 1 set is/may be needed. also put the cup washer reverse[facing out]. 45deg base plates=180mm is easier to set up super carvy riding w bushing. 160mm or less for light weight trucks is not good for super carvy riding situations. 50deg base plates customize w all types of truck length. best to easy plug & play height of person 5ft 8inch & under 36-40inch 42+ are doable for 5ft8 & under but if not dancing or downhill, it is pointless for downtown 5ft9inch+ 38/40-44/46 [you will feel comfortable] board weight 3lbs or less yes 4/5lbs or more no unless you want to do downhill primarily although it may not be needed w 75mm wheels & paris trucks which add a lot of weight, a lighter board helps in pick up & walk/ing situations. 71/75mm[size] wheels w 82 or less[softness] duro are best for cutting through streets like butater paris & abec11 trucks are great but you can get cheap/generic trucks and improve performance by mixing venom bushingesp 78-80duro w cheap bushings for slipperery carving riding.ie going around pedestrians at a drop of a hat. in terms of weight abec11 attack & randal trucks are lighter than paris trucks. a lighter truck+heavy board+65/71mm may equalize somewhat to light board+paris/bear[?]+ 75mm abec11 big zig setup.prefer 2nd option for downturn. also wider contact point for wheels 50mm or more ie big zigs better for turning. venoms bushings are magic bearings spacers are a must w good wheels[abec 11 big zigs71/75mm, cult 80 yellow & pink 71mm] which are as good as durians/these wheels w less price point. loaded vanguard style/type boards are best as cutouts allow 71/75mm wheels w/o risers. also rkp trucks add height. so they minimize wheel bite. having riser w rkp+75mm makes board too high of ground to be comfortable for day to day cruising. board is not importants. wheels/bushing/trucks/spacers are more important and worth spending $ on. once you figure out what you like riding style, then spend $ on board. in short, venom bushing paired w generic bushings & soft 71-75mm wheels & wrist guards is the minimum to get the max out of longboard cruising and riding. also unstable board setup is fine esp when you speed up you replicate the downhill carvy feeling w/o having to leave downtown or city. also get wrist guards more than helmets. you will break wrists first which causes you to use your head to break fall. soif you dont break wrist, your head will be fine if you practice situational awarenes like [delta]

Saidal G same!

+natalia riboldi thanks a lot :) You're very welcomeee

Cool! Made a new version with some more tips if you need them :)

+Mad Musician very welcome :))

+Mark Gabriel Cawaling oh thank you so much :) Glad to have you here!!

+Kasper Immonen awesome, have fun with it!!

Haha awww thank you ♥️

Awesome! Big hugs from Belgium

Indeed :) True words

Thanks! it's just a sort of concave in my opinion and % preference so you should just get whatever feels good for you

Thankss :) You're very welcome

I like to think that now it's not a problem. I would suggest you the Loaded Overland just for instance, it's a cross over of a DK Skateboard, just a bit wider and bigger. A lot of people mount that board with Indy's and street wheels ! There's also examples of that kind of board like Kanthanka, Cosmo line-up has some too etc..

+Alim Top oh yeah maybe that's perfect for me, thanks!

Yesss indeed! Very good suggestion, have fun shredding

+Hans Wouters might come to hasselt when i order one ;)

glad it helped :)

dank memes

Hahaha :D I guess it's becoming something like that haha !

Hans Wouters hey I got Puma long board can u look it up and tell me is it fine for a beginner who wants to do tricks

Emile Camp generally if u want to do tricks dont go for a longboard but a skateboard.

Really happy to read that :)

Hans Wouters Actually though thank you! I finally got my longboard and it’s perfect!! Thank you!!!!!

Sooooo what happened?

@@redwriter7128 lol I didn't really use it that much
