I ordered the surf and rail adapters yesterday Excited to try them. As an aging skater I get more out of good pure turning than tricks. Should be good.
Well done video production that pays homage to the industry and lets the curious to the genre feel comfy it can be low impact steady fun, and the candid honesty was my favorite.
Ha! In one of the earlier scenes I thought, "Hmmm, that kind of looks like Cal State Long Beach," and then in a later scene I was positive that you guys were skating at CSUSB -- cool. Some spots on that campus are definitely ripe for some skateboarding. Actually, a lot of college campuses are nice for skateboarding. I just installed the Waterborne surf and rail adapters plus their in-house wheels on my 32" Penny board, but I haven't gotten around to trying them out this past weekend. It rained today, and on Sat. I biked from Whittier Narrows to Seal Beach and back on the San Gabriel River Trail, which looks like you skateboarded on in your video? Your set up sounds so sweet, and your larger wheels and upgraded bearings really add to the quiet and smoothness of your ride - nice! Thanks for the vid - liked and subscribed! Stay safe out there and cheers!
We really love college campuses for skating and parkour. They really do make for some great spots. Thank you for subscribing. We are so excited every time we see a new sub! You are going to have a blast on your new set up. It took me a few weeks and miles to really feel like I was making use of the surf adaptor. I just now feel like I am getting the hang of it. But, it is such a fun time which makes it easier to pick up and practice. I am really looking forward to being able to surf the river trail walls soon. We are planning an update video for this skate set up. Let me know if you come across any great spots to skate with your board at and we'll go check it out!
Hey good spot! Such a small world. Yeah we filmed at all of our favorite skating spots around So Cal and Long Beach was definitely one of them😎 Give us a wave if you see us on the streets!!
4:47 yo I know that place that’s the lighthouse! I forgot what the place is called but it’s by the pike which is always fun and I’ve been thinking about taking my cruiser board down that grass hill/winding cement road
Haha😅 I was a bit embarrassed working on this video knowing that people would see me mongo mashing out there on the inter-webs. But, I picked it up skating in my driveway back in '92. By the time I started getting called a poser for pushing mongo it felt like it was too late for me to start over. So I've kept it ever since. It would have been nice to have some other friends that skated with me back then, but it wasn't until '94 that I was around anyone who knew what they were doing. At the time TWS and Thrasher magazines at the supermarket didn't really have a lot of images of people pushing. I am so impressed that you watched long enough to pick up on it and had enough curiosity to ask!!! Thank you for watching!! And keeping me honest. I hope this video doesn't perpetuate the mongo mashing 😂
@@IntergalacticMotoBandits this was a realy strong answer! And a little bit sad to read that none of your friends skated with you :( Don't worry about it, if you feel comfortable with it, it is totally okay to mongo push. The problem is, that harder driving is even more hard if you drive mongo. :-)
There are some advantages when you can push mongo also. Keep pushing mongo. I switch pushing and it’s not only fun but also useful in different situations.
@@IntergalacticMotoBandits There is nothing wrong with Mongo pushing. On boards with a carvy front truck such as the Waterborne, it is the safer way to push. Longboarders do it all the time (Mongo pushing). Long distance skaters specifically requires conventional pushing and Mongo pushing to share the load of pushing.
@@victorkhong6103 You just made a really good point. Seriously can't believe with all the surfskate videos I watch people don't say this. It's so true! Thanks.
These are the trucks that came with the Santa Cruz Board Krux Trucks. They seem to be quality. But then again I'm not grinding or taking big drops on them as of yet.
Growing up skating I learned to ollie, manual, nose slide, grind and kickflip. This board set up would not be my first choice to pick up those skills again. But, If you have those tricks in your repatoire now with a Popsicle board than you could definitely manage them on this set up.
@@IntergalacticMotoBandits I’m selling my Carver 29” Swallow Tail. Only ridden twice. They have the CX trucks on them. Let me know if you are interested in buying it.

So pumped for you! I think you're gonna have a blast.
More than a year later, and I'm having even more fun now. Thanks for watching.

Dean, Thank you. We tried to show that skating doesn't have to be extreme to be engaging, no matter what Doritos or Mt. Dew want you to believe.
How have I not seen your channel. This whole vibe took me back to being a kid all over again. Skating to the spot in the heat. Real talk bro. 🤘🏻
Aye! Thanks so much. That's exactly how it felt putting this video together. So many good memories. Glad to know I'm not alone😅

Was some of this filmed in long beach? Nice to see places i live near, small world!

Great cinematography in this one. Good work guys!
Thank you so much!! Means a lot coming from you!!!!!
long beach vibes
You know it! 🌊🌊
You still liking this setup? Ever try just a spacer in the back?
Shred that board bro. It's a surfskate. When you use it properly, it will change your life.

Nice. This is my next project! Thanks for the inspiration
Our pleasure!! Good luck on yours 👍
Nice vid, but one honest question. Why you do mongo push?

Nice Wink!!
Everyone advanced longboarder watching like *soap your bushings and pivot cups* and *grease your bearings they’re crazy loud* but *nice video*
I've been sitting here all day thinking about soaping mine
Is this Shot in Anamorphic?
Oh yeah!
what kind of trucks do you have?
These are the trucks that came with the Santa Cruz Board Krux Trucks. They seem to be quality. But then again I'm not grinding or taking big drops on them as of yet.
Can you do tricks
Growing up skating I learned to ollie, manual, nose slide, grind and kickflip. This board set up would not be my first choice to pick up those skills again. But, If you have those tricks in your repatoire now with a Popsicle board than you could definitely manage them on this set up.
Wait until you find out about Carver.
Oh cool! Just checked out Carver's surf skateboards 🤯so stoked to give one a try!
