bad - assery 🌜

You rule sticker Steve!

6 mos late, but I'm so self conscious that skating in public is just terrifying. I did get the courage to hit a spot that was just a 4" curb in front of a store and within a few tries I caught my back trucks and slammed. I felt really stupid slamming on just an ollie up... But a local restaurant has closed down and has a nice double sided curb that separates the drive through and the parking lot. And the drive through is concrete. And there's a manny pad next to it. Looks like a sweet place to skate, but not sure if I'll ever get the time, or the courage, to skate it

Video Vacation! You’ve earned it. The main subs are cool with it. We just hanging out🤘

I have been off the board for a fair bit now and just off even watching skating so I understand entirely. Just can’t force anything. The cold and rain has taken the wind out of my sails this year.

It’s raining and cold in NC brother I have garage envy 😂❤❤

Thanks dude for the mention. I’m still making dumb videos that nobody watches with the exception of my handful of friends across the internet. Thanks for the encouragement on that front. Your garage looks totally rad. 👊👍

I missed you and your lovely face! It’s because of you that I am picking skateboarding back up again… you and the small community of other fun skaters like @fatdadskatesbad. I’m 37, in Washington state and trying to combat the cold shitty weather. Thanks for this video! It was Awesome!!!!

I haven’t tried the x99, I have a set but haven’t put them on yet. I have a setup with some primitive wheels that I absolutely hate, I should probably change them out. Need to replace bushings too, stock thunders cracked

Love the Peter Mckinnon vibes of the intro. Don't worry, i have been smashing out the videos. Also don't worry, no one is watching 🤣. Kidding, the homies are rad and still out there, just not many new people. The homies are always here. I don't know how to do the clicky things. Almost 7 years and i just stay me. Thats my secret to 7 years of being unsuccessful in RUclips, by being unsuccessfully me 💯. X99 are the best. 4 are better than 3 though.

We had some snow here, but the asphalt is clear and dry. I’ve been outside to skate a few times, but it’s still pretty cold

Love ya man. Happy you’re able to get a little skating in and I’ll get a good long slappy noseslide in for you soon!

Yo my man welcome back

Thanks for the update man!! And thanks for the shoutout!! Garage looks sick I am gonna keep on plugging away while I still can. Love the intro that toyota is so epic!!! Hope the weather clears up for ya man!! 🤙

No need to force anything, Steve. And hey, when are we going to get Steve livestreaming, sippin' cold ones and talking custom Japanese trucks? Seems you could go on forever with that awesomeness.

Up with the Slappys and down to the ventures?

Haven't skated since i was at your spot last. 😢

Impossibles shouldn’t be allowed in games of skate. Friendships have crumbled, feelings get hurt 😂

I wasn’t into these for the intended purpose. Seriously think they just took 99s and stuck a softer duro sticker on them and placebo’d our asses 😂

Which way was the grain going on the birch? If its running parallel to the ramp it'll crack instantly. If its perpendicular then it should hold up. I find thats were the cost goes up significantly on these projects because you need full sheets and the grain doesn't allow for easy rips and a lot of waste.

This things rad. A buddy had one and it had a generic “follow” setting rather than a facial recognition dealie.

The Couv looks sick.

Thank you

Dope. The klean strip aerosol makes quick work of the modern heat press graphics. Just wipes right off

buy pig and creature rails at your own risk. same with the santa cruz slimeline. those saw dust chambers are bs, those rails crack easily (as displayed) rib bones, og santa cruz and lil jawns are the way to go. also recommend putting on your trucks and wheels before rails to get a better idea where your wheels make contact with the deck (wheelbite) so you dont add even more wheelbite risk with rail. start with center screw and slight push on either end of rail before screwing in ends causing rail to make a slight U shape to avoid contact with wheel. also, the more toward center you install the rail the more you form a 'gas pedal' situation when in a board slide. what that means is if youre in a brdslde and you accidentally lean on your heels, youll speed up the slide causing a back slip. good for hurricanes or if its just what youre used to but installing your rails further in on the board is NOT going to make up for not being used to a wider board. this is all just physics. everything else like wheels and trucks, bearings is personal preference.

Looks pretty cool, I skate curbs too and was hoping to see some footage. How are you getting the audio and not the drone blade noise? (just saw some of your other replies)

Sizing ?

Street n park skating is some bs, it's all about being cool instead of skating, every freestyle n vert skaters skate with bearing covers n bearing spacer, just cuz you don't know how to use them properly, you need the right size spacer which is ment for bones, it was spitfire n cruiser wheels that had issues before, spacers reduce torque load n had stability, oh wow it "sounds bad" that doesn't fing matter, bearing covers keep them at top quality n does have to be cleaned every 9 months or so, without covers they can't reach peak performance, and you said no lube, you're bearings are gonna burn n break

Love my nano rats! Hands down my favorite wheels

Merry Christmas Sticker Steve!

I don't see why the shields are such a divisive topic when Jamie Foy just advocated for skating dry bearings

my left ear really liked to listen

Loved your video. How about the coping reveal? Too much or just right?

Any kind of fluid lubricant is going to add some resistance in the form of viscosity, oils have less viscosity than greases but still much more than air of course so dry bearings do operate faster and with less resistance without lubricant; however similar to an engine without oil they will wear faster and heat faster. If you prefer it, maybe try adding a dry lubricant like PTFE or a light spray of silicone, this would not attract dirt. There is truth to the abrasive paste theory presented in the video but this is addressed through cleaning and relubricating which is not needed often thanks to shields. These things exist for a reason, but so does the preference to go without them; personally I love the smooth solid feel of a well greased bearing over the rattling lightweight speed of shieldless or even a traditional oiled bearing; but it’s just a preference, people take it so seriously and it’s silly to be honest. Trust your feet, you know what’s right for you.

Foy is a class act, humble Florida dude. Loves his fishing. Shout out to Foy, the man's man, skater's skater and SOTY.

Do you remember which one it was?

Hey Steve which Jamie Foy DW board did you try that was symmetrical?

Stoked on the Heroin deck, I do like the Eggs but only when they're bigger, 9.125 and up. Smaller eggs feel dinky and are too pointy..

Dammit, missed this one.. Video is looking crisp now! So how's the concave on that deck, mellow? Have you tried bigger than 8.5? I would prefer a symmetrical 8.75 with 14" WB, haven't found one yet though.. I did buy a Heroin symmetrical popsicle 9 with 14,25 WB and razor edge. Should be fun. I currently ride a 8.75 Antihero Clown deck (non symmetrical) with 14.25" WB.

Foy definitely deserved it but Emile Laurent wins SOTY for me, absolutely insane NBDs in Portland, have to have lived and skated there to fully appreciate how gnarly the nbds are in the polar vid.

Late ganggg!!!!

NOOO i missed another one!

Missed this one. Was tidying up and preparing seasoned slow cooker beans with smoked ham hock in beef broth.

Sorry dude, just missed it.

I’m 5’5 200 and a girl, I hate skating with people bc of those things..but this video meant a lot to me thank you

100% true brother ❤

I skate an 8.5 with ace 55 classics. I like ace because it’s a good mix btw Indy and thunders. Height of thunders but skate more like an Indy. Also prefer having a 9 inch truck with an 8.5 to have max amount of stability and truck space for grinds. I try to find boards that have a “full shape” to them like quasi or hockey decks
