Thanks! Yup, Merakis with G-Bones

You can do it! 👍🏽

Congratulations! I am using a YOW Malibu (36”)in this video, but eventually learned that I liked the shorter, more nimble Arica (33”) at the skatepark.

Good point. It’s not looking over my shoulder or something like that. I will have to make another one with a true POV. 😜

It’s amazing how accessible skating is now with all these skateparks and pump tracks. Where did you skate back then?

The pay to play spots in So Cal and even in the Bay Area/Santa Cruz.....otherwise schools or home made ramps etc!

Thank you 🙏🏾

This is a whitetail whaleshark deck with meraki trucks

​@@See_Virgil_Play thanks. what about the wheels?

@@quickfingers5982I have the qwik truk qlik system so I swap out my trucks (and by default, wheels) frequently. In this video the green front wheels are standard G-Slides and the back is either URA wheels or G-bones 64mm dragon formula.

​@@See_Virgil_Playoh wow you mix the sizes? g-slides is 59mm and ura is 65mm?

@@quickfingers5982 yup. I don’t feel any significant difference with the diameters. However, I notice the harder duro on the front makes me unintentionally slip/slide when I carve deep. Softer wheels feel more secure, but aren’t as fast. It’s all about experimenting to find what works for each situation.

Thanks! It’s Ken Wormhoudt (aka Mike Fox) skate park in Santa Cruz. Let me know what you think of it.

Step 1: remove slippers/shoes and socks 🧦 Step 2: step on surfskate 🦶🏽 Step 3: 🤙🏽 😜

💥🦶🏽💥

Good point. That I do.

I actually go and do it on foot. Saved me $200.

Thanks! Since I have the qwik truck system I mix my trucks a lot. In this case I have a meraki trucks with gslides up front and I think softer wheels in the rear. Deck is whitetail Whaleshark 🤙🏽

Thanks! This sweet park is Fremont Skatepark in northern California. Come check it out if you’re in the area.

It’s got something for all levels of riders. You should try barefoot skating! 😜

Thank you! Cheers!

thanks for watching! Let me know if it works out or how I can improve the notes.

Hi there. Changing the wheels on a surfskate is a matter of preference. It also depends on the surface we ride on. For example, I'd rather use the original soft wheels on rougher concrete for comfort and grip. The ride felt sluggish in the bowls with the original wheels and I felt like I was working harder to maintain speed. Switching to harder wheels made me feel like i was moving faster and allows me to slide more easily. In regards to not knowing how to use the original wheels-you're probably right.

Great. How can I improve my FS snap?

​@@See_Virgil_Play smoke more weed and lean back 😊

Yup. They make sliding easy

Hi. Newark Skatepark was designed by Wormhoudt Inc. and built by CA Skateparks.

Thanks. I need to add sound effects next time :-)

Oh...

I usually use my hands to slow my fall

Flood Park in Menlo Park. Let me know how you like it.

I still remember the day I first skated that bowl with you. I barely knew what I was doing!

Totally agree!

Just keep trying! You’ll get there.

Thanks 🤙🏽. These are fun lines.

It’s a great park to play in!

Sounds like we did go to school together! Did you rock the power mullet, too?😊 I’m using a YOW Arica, 17”-WB with carver roundhouse on the back and dragons 64mm front. I usually use all dragons in my other videos. Let me know if you’re in the Bay Area!

yup, had a mullet with a aquanet pompadour. I'm in the Austin, TX area. thanks for the re-enforcement on getting the dragons. BTW.. you a G for going barefoot and doing rad tail slides. One day I'll get the courage to do that.

@@princea1i3you have to get qwik trucks if you want to swap out your truck+wheels easily

I don’t mind sharing my progress and think it’s funny at times. 😊

🦶🏽

You obviously don’t surfskate

Was not trying to offend anyone just fell like it would hert

@@nahhh237no worries, mate. Barefoot riding doesn’t hurt at all as long as you don’t ollie-or fall 😅

Thanks! I love the scenery of this area-ocean views and rolling mountainsides. I will definitely use softer wheels next time. The road is rough as you can hear. 🤙🏽

🤙🏽

It’s a solid helmet. I like the visor, magnetic clip for the straps, and dial you can use to loosen/tighten the fit. What I don’t like with v1.0 is the minimal ventilation. Version 2.0 addresses this with bigger vents.

Thanks! We have to always push on!

🙏🏾

I had some Slimeball street wheels on for a very short while and was slipping and sliding all over the place on the surfskate. It felt very icy when trying to pump so I swapped them out. 😉

@@See_Virgil_Play go t to try those wheels at the skate park i tried some kids spitfires and they slide with no effort or strain on muscles

I see a lot of frontside Berts for sure-definitely will share videos of my progress 🤙🏽

Thanks. That last run caught me by surprise. Good thing I was padded up. 😅
