I kind of wish boards would be made with glue that doesn't dissolve in water. We have so many days of rain or wet streets here in Netherlands, it's kind of impossible to truly avoid. Oh and as for suggestions, it is worth looking into the innovative skateboards like the Powerply or Everslick boards, but also the carbon fibre reinforced boards like Powell Peralta Flight decks or Santa Cruz VX decks (or the Impact stuff from Almost etc. I guess). I've been riding a few Everslick decks for a bit now and they razor tail a lot slower. The Flight and VX decks are pretty much unbreakable under normal conditions, with lasting pop. It's some of the few innovations that kind of did take skateboards to the next level of durability. (And I do still like cheap boards like the Mini Logo ones as well, for their great value. For people who break a lot of boards, it can be an idea to just get the 'best cheap' boards you can find.)
Same, im also from the netherlands
Same in london
Some boards are made with epoxy
ga dan gewoon binnen skaten in een garage of een binnen park
Also Netherlands
Another good tip is to buy some wood glue and a clamp. It’s probably less than $10 and will last for a really long time. It’s really easy to fix chips in your board with them. It helps keep the pop feeling solid and stops them from chipping more.
yeah, i did that yesterday to my board and worked perfectly
This could totally be bullshit, but It “works” for me: I find that adding a layer of wax(whatever wax you use when you skate) to your nose/tail, more specifically edge where you pop, tends to help with the pop, and helping the board last longer.
this ^^^ i use super glue while im at home so i dont have to think about it all the time, but i use wax while im out skating if my tail needs it. \
I've seen people wax the edges of the board to keep the plys from separating from high humidity when i lived by the beach.
Not actual bull! This works because there is more "layer" to help with pop
and then when you try tre flips and land on the tail to much and scrape the fuck out of your board, it just kinda slides instead making a horrific sound like i just disemboweled my board
That's what I do! I use old thrown out crayons lol
Tactics boardshop again providing useful knowledge... Love you guys!
What always helps me a lot, is to regularly sand down little chunks and beginning chips on nose and tail with some grip leftovers. It prevents the edges from blowing out on spots where the board has a lot of impact. (Side of the nose when learning kickflips for example). And a smoth edge is much less likely to split.
Give us more shoe reviews please!!
I cut my own "shock pads" (soft risers) from rubber roofing scraps. Might slightly change the feel of your pop, but it helps prevent stress fractures. You can usually find thin rubber sheeting at your local hardware store, too.
Risers too are often overlooked.
Just got back into skating a week ago. I’m 26 I skated for like 6 years back In the day and got decent I wasn’t that good but I was OK. I got my kick flips, shuvits and varials back in just a few days of practice. Glad to see the skating community is still strong I thought it was dead for 8 years I quit maybe because I wasn’t involved in it that I thought that. Loved the video and I’ll take these into consideration.
"Do not skate in the rain"
FeelsDutchMan
Get one of those crazy carbon fiber decks and the ceramic bearings hehehe
I got this from JB at SkateParkLesson on YT. I took my skate tool and put a marking on the front and rear bolts to try to give me a target for my feet. May help in landing on the bolts. Point 1 is so true for me.
Hey Tactics, you guys rock. Love your videos 👍
One thing that I like doing is getting ahead of a chip. If it starts I'll sometimes use my belt sander to just smooth it out a bit and it seems to help.
i put wood glue inside one and use pliers to push it back together and it broke the next day, but i just squeezed it back together with pliers and used some of my shoo goo on the edge of the tail and it works! wish i knew how to sand properly bc i had that idea too :)
An amazing video as usual
Tim and benson are some of the best skate board hosts
Thanks a Lot, Greetings from Colombia!
tactics always give the best tips no cap imma send this video to my fellow beginner friends
That little bit of tail scrape when you throw your board down just itches my brain
If you need to make your board last longer, find a belt sander and square out the ends a little. People ride all sorts of weird board shapes, and you can turn a crusty razor tail into something close to new without significantly changing the shape.
Very helpful
Legend!
So land my tricks bolts, and preferably first try... why didn't I think of that, great tips!
If you are learning to manual you can turn the board around so it wears on the nose instead. Then the back will last longer and you wont get razor tail as quickly
Thanks tactics
that heat thing, rlly usefull, didnt knew it
I have literally y done very thing you told me not to do in this video before I watched so that explains a lot
Same. I usually get mad razor tail and chip the nose
Shop at tactics please they are the best!!!!!!
Love you guys im from thailand and can you make how to 50-50 please?
When you are forced to kick out (when jumping down something), try to make sure the board lands flat (on the wheels is preferable) and not nose/tail diving into the concrete. It takes some practice, but it can become 2nd nature. 🤝✌️
tnx
Where I live 75% is rough pavement and 25% is really smooth so it’s kinda hard to find good pavement to do tricks and ride around
I wish I had RUclips when I was a young skater back in the day. I used to just wreck my boards. I had no clue. I’d get handmedowns and would throw them outta rage, skate in the rain, try enormous drops I knew I couldn’t land, etc. And I was poor. Good times.
YALL UNDERSTAND ASF!!
im going to the skateshop in 4 days because its my birth day!
One of my favorite tips is stomping on the middle of the board and then the tail and nose repeatedly it really restores the pop and makes it so the board doesn’t break
First😳 And Thanks, I got a new board from you guys, and the tail Is pretty, razor tailed, so thanks!
Lol u should already kno the rules for ur skateboard tactics didnt do that to ur board 💀🤣
Your not first btw your 3rd
@@saucekingsheik7241 bro, it's for the support obviously I know, it's so it can boost and to show support
Never thought the deck can warp under certain conditions
I knew it could if you get it wet but I didn't know high heat would do that. Wonder if it's fine during the summer when it gets like 110 degrees outside where I live.
0:52 is you Tim 🤣🤣
Aye Dalton dern👀
Sand down the nose if it’s longer so you have another tail if your tail is too worn down
What about price point decks vs regular decks they definitely use different wood and wood shops
How to make your board last longer:
Don't skate
Actually just don’t do tricks or abusive stuff like going down stairs on a longboard while the deck slaps around. I just cruise and carve around so I still got the same deck since 2012.
Does it help to send down the tail and nose a little to get nore Pop?
guess i'll go skating in the carpark then. the ground is so smooth
Duh
I got this Megadeth Deck that I absolutely cherish, I ride it all the time cuz of how much I love it, but It also hurts me so much that amount of scratches and bite there is on it. Should I buy the same deck to have on the side ore should I just buy another board to use instead?
Another way to make your board last longer is to install a tail/nose skid plate on your board.
Every time I split the wood on the tail i glue it back with loctite shoe glue, i leave it on a clamp for 24 hrs and good as almost new xD y also melt wax on the exposed wood to prevent moisture absorption.
What about leaving it in the car in the cold? Will that warp it too? Or is it mostly heat to be worried about
Leaving it in the cold won't affect the deck really. If it's super cold, your bushings will harden up and it'll make your trucks feel really tight. Cheers! - Tim
Also don’t leave your board in the cold
Shoe gue on chip volnurable areas
alternate title: skater's pain
I like the B U T T FOCUS 😆
wait will anything happen if u leave em in the cold?
Should I put breaking bad stickers on the bottom of my board will this make it last longer?
can you fix chipped skateboard or razor tail
You can glue chips back on to your board with some wood glue and some clamps, but it doesn't really restore the pop. There isn't really anything you can do about razor tail. I've seen suggestions to sand down the razortail and make it rounded again, but that will just make your tail short and stubby and completely change the angle of pop and throw off your tricks. You can find tons of DIY "fixes" for skateboards with a quick google search, but they're really more like bandaids. There aren't any fixes that will make your board "good as new", but there are a couple things you can do to keep your board intact for longer. 👍 - Tim
I really wish I knew not to ride with wet shoes after it rained bc it kinda ruined the trip tape on my first board-
Just so everyone knows when you have a warped board that is bad set it up and skate it as much as you can. I had a warped board and I set it up skated it and it went back to normal.
I'm in the 70 to 80 pound renege so would i snap the board?
You probably won't get this, but I'm 120 pounds and never snapped a board before. I usually just do flatground, so that's probably why
La lija se mi skate esta toda sucia debido a que la use en un lugar que había mucho polvillo, esto hace que el agarre de la lija no sea el mismo. Que puedo hacer para solucionarlo?
Puedes usar una goma para limpiar tu lija. Unas compañías como mob o Shake junt las venden. Es una barra pequeña. Si no sirve eso, es mejor remplazar la lija.
I had a stair sesh and I bailed a few times, and my tail chipped, and I bought the deck today 😭
that happened to me once but not really
i got my deck a day ago and went to the skatepark today, and chipped the nose

Dehydrated discs and vertibral arthritis makes boards last longer, 25 years before one of mine snapped. 😁
Not everybody has that kinda money.
Regularly use wax
Please price of Baker deck
Here ya go. 👍

Are you have skater trainers on your website??????
Nope, we don't carry skate trainers.
You can tighten up the nuts on your trucks axle not super tight but snug and it will keep wheels from rolling easy like skate trainers
@@ChronicSkater thank you sir😄
Bro my board is starting to look like the thumbnail 😖 it took a solid knock against a wall last month and everytime I try anything over a bank and I don’t land then the board’s tail and nose lips up a bit because of the cracks.
Sometimes really hate sk8ing
My new setup I bought like 4 days ago got ran over by a car yesterday I didn’t even have it for a week );
I’d be pissed
Bro that suuuuucks! Did you manage to keep the trucks?
its bacically impossible to not get ur deck wet in the uk so just be as carefull as possible
just dont live in uk
👍🏻
I live in Eugene or
Hi
I am doing all what you say and the skate stil gets chips and al this shit
mine would be dont let siblings on ur board and dont crash
use some haaaard glue to glue your tail and nose
Buy it from a maker who rolls glue right, presses long, cures long, and cares about you.
I use a old board to skate when it’s wet
in 4 days
tim has changed alot like with his manly beard he looks dif but cool
ooooooooooooo
Mines always chip and i have tried many brands so it's not about it
i just had a bad sesh and threw my board like 5 times . my nose is done :(
a tip is to wax where you pop
Dude I wish I knew that I can’t wet my board 10 hours ago cuz I was putting my water hose on my skate board lol
Edit: I barely got it not even a week ago
F L E X S E A L
Flex tape actually works
deck rails can prevent you from snapping your board too
First ❤️
Nobody cares
What about waxing your nose and tail ?-?
Me skates board until it breaks
Whoever decided to use water salable glue on skateboard decks deserves to eat a tortilla chip vertically
rails.
Dont drag your tail !
Can I be sponsored
Did it just come out of your word hole that the only way not to snap your board jumping down things is to land bolts? Because there is a world of quality rising up out here that says otherwise, for months and months of daily abuse.
Step 4 - get good
I hate skating in the uk
Don't weigh 240+ and go in for a board slide lol
Too late + im poor
telling you dude this whole skating this is expensive. not for poor kids
"Boards aren't cheap" dood I can get a cheap beater board for like 30 bucks
