Why these MASSIVE Boards are SO Skateable
I litterly love cooper street I live just down the round from that area but not gonna state which house it is for privacy purposes but anyway that place is totally sick! And I live the water play area (p.s I grew up in engadine so I remember the old park and kinda miss it for all the memories but it’s still sick).
Got some F4s let’s see how these go
Sick, I'll give er a go.
I’m so terrified to try this again after a brutal slam
♥
What editing software do you use for the zooming out effect?
I use Adobe Premiere Pro dude
@@LeonPaxton thanks!
I tried this, brutally slammed, rolled my ankle and smacked my elbow off the curb. Now I’m scared to try again 😂
Can’t wait to try it. Where did you park ?
It’s so fun! I just park at the Ettamogah pub across the road and walk over 👌🏽
@@LeonPaxton legend !! Thanks for all the awesome content keep it coming
How wide is it where the trucks go?
I think it’s about 8.75” dude, I was riding 8.75” trucks and it felt pretty perfect 👌🏽
The banks are just really good idea sort of like skating canals
Looks like a great park! Great video! Really appreciate your tips the other day sorry to comment and ask so many questions.. ended up ordering my first wide boy 10.75 😂 never had an egg b4 .. just want to have fun on a different set up in 2025 doing lots of slappys and grinds (I’m getting old ) thanks so much and keep up the good content! I wouldn’t have the interest or confidence to switch up my popsicle setup after so many years without your videos and real time reviews!🫡🏆🛹✍️ happy holidays!
Thanks dude, the park is so good! Oh sick! That’s a massive board for your first egg board but it’s so damn fun! Thanks man, appreciate that a lot 🙏🏽
i love heroin! :3c
Easy to skate I bet
What heroin egg board would you recommend from a popsicle 8.25 rider? First ever egg 🥚 Not sure what to get. Thanks 🙏
I’d try and get one of their 8.75” egg board dude! My homie used to ride 8.25” popsicles and went straight to an 8.75” egg and loved it 👌🏽
Can you give me a the best wheels and trucks etc for this board ? Thinking of getting my first egg for Xmas 🙏🫡📺🏆🛹
For this board I’d definitely recommend some 10” trucks and then some smaller wheels around 50mm or below to make the setup a little lighter and pop faster 👌🏽
@ Great thanks so much! Really appreciate it! Happy holidays 🫡🏆📺🛹
Ok that does it... I'm sick of all these amazing skatepark you guys keep getting!
Fr tho I'm so jealous
Haha yeah I feel you, we’re getting so spoilt!
maybe I missed it, but how does the shoe fit? would you recommend the same size as a vans shoe, or maybe a half size up?
The fit true to size man, same size in Vans as these ones 👌🏽
@ thank you bro! I’ve been wanting to get them but have been hesitant since no shops near me have them
What I am wondering, couldn't you just modify a wide popsicle by shaving it down to an egg shape?
You could but I would definitely have a beet uneven board if I did that 😂
bro them rails are gone now
Yeah I think they got ripped out a few days after I filmed this 👎🏽
So nice 👍 looks like another lush skatepark Leon ❤ also missing the sun in the heart of UK 🇬🇧 winter ❄️ lol 🤣
Yeah this one is so good! Damn it’s so hot over here right now, hard to think how cold it is over there lol
Shout out Ben Negro! lol
Brilliant, I can't believe developers are building parks like this before putting up buildings. The sport has come a long way since the 80s when we had to build our own little rickety jump ramps. (Also: 30 years ago I would've done a stalefish nosepick on that bench at the top of the big bank!)
That’s true, I didn’t look at it that way lol Haha that’s true!
I love how creative these park designs are! I wish we had some of these designs here in the states.
Yeah they are so good! Hopefully the builders over there start catching on 🤞🏽
這滑板公園超大~~而且超棒!!!!讚讚讚!!!
come to werribee skatepark and tarneit in the west side
I’ll add those to my list for next time 🤝
Gorgeous park! That mini spine looks like so much fun. Love the insight from Darren! I'll hopefully check it out on the way to Ballarat next time. Thanks for sharing! 🛹😎🤘
It’s so good! Definitely worth checking out 👌🏽
Hopefully these mellow bank transition, low rails and ledges, 3 stair rails dont become common..the tall bank was the best thing. Darren step it up and build bigger.
It’s super fun and get to learn too!
Wow great looking park noice one Cobba keep on rocking it.. ....
Thanks dude!
love the vids bro, keep up the good mahi
Thanks man, appreciate you!
So sick!
Thanks for sharing all these melbourne gems. I live in the north western suburbs and had no idea some of these new parks were so close to me
All good dude, there are so many good parks down there!
This guy annoying sit down dude its not that serious
bad take, bro is just stoked with the skatepark he just built. What's wrong with that?
Hahaha just a hater. Probably rides a scooter
Hush little man 😂
I will never understand why stones and bark are put in a skatepark. This park looks amazing.
They did a great job with the design, jealous of that mini ramp
Yeah and it’s cool that it’s separated on its own too 👌🏽
Hey man I’m used to spitfire classics 54mm on 8.25 board for tech skatin. I’m wondering if these lock-ins would be good with 52mm size. Good video bro I subbed on my Xbox where I been watching your vids but can’t comment lol. But new to channel as well and wondering if you skate 8.25 boards?! Anyways take good care bud
Sick, thanks so much man! Yeah these would be good in a 52mm for sure 👌🏽 Nah man, that is way too small for me lol
@ thanks for the reply bro. I’m thinking you’d suit a good 8.25 😅 Maybe a video topic? Haha take good care sir
eggzilla 3 vid?
Damn I wish, those boards are way too expensive lol
What time/day are you going to the park for it to be empty?
I was here from about 8-11am on a weekday lol
@@LeonPaxton cheers
I have so much difficulty learning this trick. It definitely isnt an easy move (for me) ive come “sort of” close a few times. Ill keep trying though. One day I’ll get it
Yeah dude, it actually took me so long to learn this trick and it was only about 4 years ago when it finally clicked lol Don't give up!
I give it about 30 tries every time i find a mini ramp.
Something about that place that is always windy !!! We got the same weather on our visit. Love the pump track there too…
Yeah it was super windy! Probably because it's just out in the open like that lol
That park looks amazing! You’ve inspired me to learn boardslide bigspins
It really is! Yeah that trick feels so good, it's all in the back foot dipping down and pushing forward 👌🏼
This is Donald Cassel, founder of GrindKing. I invented the inverted kingpin in 1988. The reason inverted kingpins loosen more is because there is more stress placed on the locknut when it is at the bottom vs the top like regular trucks. They also break more easily because the threads are at the bottom of the baseplate and receive more stress as well. This was always the downside of inverted kingpins, until now. Check out the new GK Locker , I added a steel kingpin brace that makes it way stronger and also a "Nut Portal" lol which allows you to easily replace a standard kingpin nut. This is important because on inverted kingpins you should replace the nut more often. The reason is the nylon ring inside the locknut wears out after time. This is true for all locknuts. The trouble with the indy shaft nut which is a copy of the original GK sleeve nut is that you cant replace it easily and it is a custom made part not available in hardware stores. If you want to see details of this design you can go to the Grind King website where I provide detailed diagrams of all the new innovations the Locker has.
anyone know what pants he be rockin?
These are actually some $30 jeans I got from Kmart 😂
I have Ace 80s and instantly had to swap out the bushings. I see absolutely not benefit to loose trucks if I'm going to wheelbite into a dead stop every time I turn hard. My Ace Classic 44's however, still have the stock bushings and they're pretty firm. I don't know if they're different bushing to the AF1's.
Yeah dude, they are just waaaay too squirly with the stock bushings in them lol Damn, maybe they updated the formula in these newer ones 🤔
@LeonPaxton I got the 44s way before the 80s! Maybe being a much smaller truck with less leverage has a big effect on it. Either way, the 80s bushings sucked.
So sick park wow
It's amazing!
oh yes!!!
this is late asf but would 8.5 trucks be good for an 8.8 egg shaped board?
Yeah man, that will be sweet! It should be about 8.5” over the tricks on that board 👌🏽
@ im late again lol but thanks for the tips on the egg boards. i just setup the 8.9 fried egg 3 board today and it is fun as hell.
Great vid Leon!!!! keep em coming brother
Thanks legend!
15 years back 7.25- 7.75 was common. 8 - 8.5 was considered big.
It’s crazy how times change, 8.5” is so common now lol
come to laverton skatepark its based off pier 7 its the best most chill park
I’ll add that one to my list for next time, thanks dude!
Dang! Good work on that drop down!
Thanks dude! That was way scarier than I expected lol
