No matter where you're from, if you're a skateboarder, you tend to share a lot of the same experiences as other skaters. With that said, broke skateboarders specifically definitely have their own set of challenges that not all skaters deal with. These are 10 things that only broke skaters understand.

Hi
so true, being broke is a problem for skating but skating makes me broke
but Sk8 is life
I think skating makes more sens without money
If completes weren't 150 + dollars it would be more affordable
@@51OAKLANDER510 Blanks are like $30-40
Lol I have the same pfp and I thought that I wrote this comment
U know what's worse? Living in a country where skateboarding is so unpopular that there is no where to skate 😂
I actually appreciate that once in a time I used to be broke skater, I just couldn't afford to buy things as a kid. My skateboard had a chips, both trucks were different make, shit wheels, shit bearings. I had fake vans which would break after two weeks of skating. There were no skateparks in my city and all these things as in the video.
Now that I work and it's twenty years on from that moment, the skate world has also changed. I have two ready sets in the boot of my car, I travel around the coutry to skateparks of my choice with my son. When I get bored with my skate shoes or they get worn I buy new ones. So as I said I appreciate to be broke skater in the past because I am so stoked to be able to buy these things nowadays. Be blessed brothers and sister.
Same here! I still get stoked to go out and be able to buy new gear because I remember what it was like growing up and having to skate hand me downs and used stuff all the time just to be able to keep skating. So even though I can easily afford it now, I still get just as stoked as I would in the past to be able to go out and buy new stuff when I want to and not just because I skipped a few meals and scrapped some money together to finally afford it.
Right on man I never could get my hands on my own deck I always skated a friends but 13 years later man I love it! This was before Internet orders was big we had no skate shops. I had a bicycle and I love that too but I have to at least learn some tricks on the skateboard before I get back into bikes
I was an in-between skater I wasn't broke but I def couldn't afford Woodward that being said this kid that was in the group absolutely rubbed it in that he could afford to go to Woodward but I was the one that got everyone in the group new boards and shoes and just parts when their families couldn't so it was pretty satisfying when I got a text asking him if I could send him a new board to Woodward about two days into his trip
If you could afford paying for peoples stuff you could 100% “afford” going to Woodward money wise

My skatepark basically hands out used wheels and bearings and basically lets you set up your whole board there wich is pretty dope
You spelt which wrong
that's sick lawl
That’s dope I need me some bearings and wheels tbh 😅
@@XxHarryBerryshut up nerd bob
buying a fresh new board, but when you accidentally break it in your first 3 weeks from grinding at the skate park every day, and your mom does not want to help you get a new one. So, you don't get to skate for like a month unless your friend lets you borrow a board. ( this happened to me)
Bro at least 25 mins skatepark closest to me is like 2h😂
My nearest skatepark 3 mins away 😎
But are you broke?
i need to take like 2 trains and a few buses to get to the nearest skatepark haha
South Mississippi there are practically no parks
My nearest skatepark is like days far
I feel like stressing about getting a super nice board is very hard. Like you can't be satisfied without the right one.
most local stores sell decent 20$ blanks. the rest sucks

The taco bell game! People like us are the reason it is gone. I used to be so good at the game that i would literally feed two or three people from winning so much. Then they made it one win per customer and ultimately took it away. Dropping from the top platform to the second to last one was the STRAT
I've always wanted to open up a shop called "hand me down skates." I remember being a much younger guy. (i'm in my mid fourties presently.) all of my friends were wearing the dopest gear and had the illist matching outfits. I was wearing old hand me downs from one of my cousins & a great friend of mine.I strived to be one of the boys.Those times made myself appreciate everything that was sent my way, be it clothes, boards -random acts of kindness from my crew I skated with. Always strive to lift your friends up.-even if it is just a "kind" word on a specific trick they are attempting and you already have dialed in.Just that little bit of attention and positivity can help that particular person know they are appreciated in the crew of life. Thank you for reading this post, my friends.
Growing up I was a flatland BMX guy that ran with the skaters . Most of these applied to BMX as well. We didn’t have phone back then ,lol. I had hand me down boards , I taught the skaters bike tricks and they taught me . The one that hit home for real was the food ! We found a fruit stand chain that had these quart jugs of fruit punch , lemonade ,lime and blue berry juice for a quarter . Also we found that churches had a water dispenser in them , later we found out it was blessed holy water ,lol . Good time good times
man a deamon ever attacks little you you just spit on em cuz at that point your body water had to have been atleast 45% holly water
Lol, you drank the Holy water! 😂 They have bathrooms with sinks you can drink out of if you're super thirsty.
I spent my broke skater era growing up in a small town in rural Pennsylvania, 45 minutes from Woodward. Still at 37, I've never skated at Woodward lol
My Bro Steve cut down his wheels to the minimum in 1992-93 looking almost like the wheels in the thumbnail. He cut a Bicycle tire and put it on his pulling-foot shoe for the grip. The 90's was crazy, they tried everything, the board changed shape almost every month. LongNose,ShortTail,DoubleTail ect. It was a great time.
Oh, that was in Germany. 🙂
I’m really surprised he didn’t bring up the worn wheels. They would go almost to bearing. Then they’d split.
That feeling when you finally land the trick is so special and only happens every once in a while and it’s literally what I live for
I feel this, growing up broke and skating was hard, my board kicks were worn down so much you could barely tell i had kicks, the shoes were 90 per cent shoe goo, my wheels were so worn down it looked like i was rolling on the bearings, the bearings kept busting coz they were budget and half were taken from cheap roller blades so you'd be rolling down a hill then see all the ball bearings bust and roll all over the place before your board came to a screaming holt. As for transportation, that's what the board was for, me and my ghetto crew would ride everywhere, that was half the fun. Now i'm older and can afford all the gear I wish I had when I was young, but I buy all that for my son who skates now and make sure he has all the opportunities in skating that i didn't, that makes me feel good. PS. just recently bought the ES Muska Re issue from 1997 for myself and that was a dream of mine growing up, feels good to finally get them.
I remember skating a deck for so long that my nose and tail were about 2 inches shorter than when I got the board brand new
My brother and I were broke as hell when we were skaters in our teens. We used to buy used shoes and gear from this one friend who was rich. He would sell us his used ADIO or DC for like 10 bucks and he wasnt good at skating so they were brand new. He would also sell complete boards for 20 bucks and again, they were in really good condition.
flashbacks to how my first complete gradually changed into the neighbourhood deck with 2 different trucks, 3 different wheels, and only 7 bearings, only two of which came from my original board.
I started to like skating when I was like 8. I was so poor as a kid that I had to borrow a skateboard from one of my friends cuz I really was into it and I learned various tricks .but parents never had enough money for my own board 😞. I bought my first skateboard when I was 16 when I got my first job and my first check was to buy my own custom board at a civil store. Now days I'm 25 and I'm still skating.
Can def relate to much of this. I wasnt hugely broke. But i used to put all my money into more filming gear. So my board often got used way past its life. (This was mid 2000s)
I was always broke, but one time I was able to buy a good wood skateboard from a skate park. Skated the hell out of it. Gave it to my buddy then he gave it to a buddy. I think the board changed hand like five times. The nose and tail was to the bolts. Gorilla epoxy is top notch.
I’ve always been fascinated by skateboarding, but I’ve never grew up with a board, but my cousin is really into skateboarding. I’m a junior in high school and there is not a single person that skates. The only way I get my “skate boarding” fix is by wearing heelys to school. Not having a board or anybody to skate with is probably my biggest downside of being a “broke” skater, although my bank account is good enough to buy myself the gear I need, I would still have disapproval from my parents…
I was so broke in the early 90's that I used my skateboard as my main source of transportation every day. This was many years before the white horrible street wheels came into the picture, I always rode my super soft Powell Peralta ramp wheels and they were just as small as the white street wheels but felt like longboard wheels only without the bite. We built our own skateparks too, poles from fallen over street signs, plywood sheets and boards were "borrowed" from construction sites and we hauled that shit home in our arms riding our boards. In the winter time we removed our wheels and trucks and rode them in the snow, often downhill. When summertime came around we just screwed them shits back on again. Good times! 😅
as a broke skater the trash and side of the road are important
my dad once got a landyatz complete from a rich neighborhood
As a kid, I didn't have a regular skateboard helmet, so I had to use my dad's old bike helmet. I always felt a little weird wearing a bike helmet to the skate park as that's what many newbies often wear. If my mom didn't insist on watching me at almost all times at the skatepark, I probably would've just taken it off more often.
Don't know if this counts but, "having to use gear that doesn't work right" I had to ride a deck that had the holes slightly too out that the trucks were too close to the tail, and only realised why I couldn't manual at all once I got a normal deck
I remember when my friend gave me his old beat up braille board, which made me happy when i was skating with him with a walmart board i used for around 3 years, luckily i wasn't too good with tricks but it was terrible to use since my bearings were basically just rings and the board was basically hard cardboard. Still have his board to this day but turned into a cruiser
I'm a broke penny boarder. When my wheels just died I bought the cheepiest penny board on Avito(sng EBay) for $2 and used all "normal" parts of it and threw away all of the useles pieces. Now my penny still have pivot cups, screws and wheels from cheepiest penny in my town and it's just amazing
Also slated with 2 broke decks that were broke in diff spots so while on top of each other they worked!
HEAVY WEIGHT!
Great list, but Camp Woodward actually provides MANY opportunities for low income kids to attend. You can work as a dish dog or other mundane things for a week or two in order to afford it. I wish more people were aware of that.
Really? FERB I KNOW WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO TODAY!
No matter how much money you have,no matter what your interests are,I think you’ll find that even with all the money in the world you will never have enough,nowadays we’re just wanting bigger and better constantly,and although it’s difficult,you gotta learn to live with what ya got
When I first skated I always got bullied for my kickflip problem but I progressed and now I can do a beautiful kickflip
What’s worse than not getting a lift to the skatepark?
Answer: not getting a lift back from the skatepark (you are very tired and your legs are aching
Most skaters probably can’t even afford Woodward 💀
I had to rebuild a hand me down board with some wood filler and buy the cheapest piece that needed replacing over the span of like 6 months so i spent months skating with bushings that didnt turn properly and also getting crazy speed wabble
I just bought my own skateboard for 15 dollars, and it is super good quality with a snake on the deck and the logo on the Grip tape. it's a really good board and I am learning to do tricks.
For the shoes here are my best pro tip for holes and "protection", silicon Idk how I got the idea one day to use the silicon gun I think it called to fix my shoes but it worked especially on the holes
Just use shoe goo like a normal person. Put it on brand new shoes before they get all worn and fucked up and reapply once it starts to get worn. You'll wear the bottoms out before the toes.
As a poor kid, i think the most frustrating thing about skating in general is not being able to buy new boards without permission or borrowing money.
I’m so glad I live in a time where I can buy a skateboard online rather then having to go miles just for a small shop you can get reviews for boards easily too back when I was a kid I only had a scooter from toys r us because there was a toys r us nearby there wasn’t a skate shop so i couldn’t buy a board or a real adult scooter
Love your videos they help me
U all might not have the same problems in skate boarding but you gotta admit the first one everybody has a that problem 🤣
Literally 😔
Omg yes 😭
Ima a new skater and the nearest skate park is like 50 minutes away but I'm going to try to get a ramp for christmas I just started skating and I'm 12
I grew up a borderline broke to broke skater. I had a ATM or mini-logo board in a skatepark full of kids with zero and baker skateboards. I had a pair of airwalks in a skatepark full of kids with emerica or circa shoes. I had a no brand mp3 player in a skatepark full of kids with ipods. luckily I grew up in a very un-superficial town so most kids didn't care and I had no problems fitting in but its easy to feel insecure when everyone is rocking new gear all the time and you're slumming it with the same stuff until it gives out. Honestly, in retrospect, I'm glad I grew up broke because it taught me not only to not be superficial but it pushed me to be a better skater. If I couldn't impress people with money, I wanted to do it with ability. I may have been broke but I could skate circles around almost everyone I knew even on a bad day lol.
when I grew up bro. skating. we didn't have ipods. tony haw pro skater 2 just came out. thats what got me into it. there was 1 skatepark that recently got built near my house. about 20mins away. (that was pretty much the only one) that was close. haha
then later they built a few more
I'm very lucky to live where I live because I love in grandy NC and the closest skate park is about 10 to 15 minutes from my house and we also have a skate park at the YMCA and 3 more in the OBX
DIY ramps are so much better any way tho cause they have just the right amount of flaw to make them unique
back at 2002 i used to put hot silicone all around the flick area in my shoes, or wrap the shoe in electricist black tape, most of my problems was the shoes, livin in new socialist goverment does not help to skateboarders
Beat up boards is why when I stopped skateboarding I took my boards, my main board which at the time was barely skated and my spare board I always had a fully assembled board in my trunk in case my main breaks, down to the local skatepark and found the two kids with the rattiest boards and gave them mine, $300+ boards. Almost carbon fiber boards, bones Swiss bearing, ricta wheels, thieves trucks etc. I knew what it was like growing up with a ratty board. I used to get new (used) boards only when a friend of mine who was sponsored by the local skateshop got a new board.
Throughout my entire time skating i rarely could afford to buy a new board. Lucky when my friends got new gear, boards, wheels and trucks. I was lucky enough to get or buy their old stuff. Thanks again guys for helping me to continue to sk8.
I can definitely relate to the clothes part
I’ve got these baggy jeans I would reuse for skating mostly because it’s the only good pair of “skate pants” I have lol
I lived 3 miles from my skatepark which is like an 1 and a half hour skate trip one way. And I would still do that after school to hangout with the homies, then of course on the trip back I was always super tired so it was like a 2 hour walk home. And even when I moved and it was 6 miles I just kept the skating to the weekends, but a ride definitely was a blessing so I wasn't so tired before the actual session.
Epic videos man ceap up the great work
I had my dream board when I first started. My old man went to Eastern Boarder with my list of things to build a complete... Shorty's Muska red tail, Independent trucks,bones reds bearings,spitfire wheels, Lucky hardware and risers..... I ollied off the curb at the library, slipped out board went shooting into the road...BOOM truck runs it over and just keeps on going... I skated hand-me down decks for like a year and a half after that. Anytime a friend would get a new deck I'd get the razor tails, the chippy mcgees, the stress cracks.... but learning to do a lot of tricks on those shitty decks made me have so much fun when I finally got a new deck. Yeah cool story I know lol.
I keep watching this video over and.over thanks sk8 box for the vids
I was a broke skater before smart phones were everywhere. Getting your hands on a camera was even more of a struggle. Got lucky enough to have a good source of rides. One of my crews diy was turning a dirt pile in to am awesome obstacle using some ply wood lol. Using giant rocks to hold them I'm place so if you fell you gotta watch out lol
This is like a calmer sort of video that I can relax too. I really like Jonny Giger because he reminds me of Mullen and I have seen his video on a Mullen trick that really looks impossible and yet Jonny got it. I can not name the trick because I forget but it’s something like a kick flip to primo, then primo sliding, and shuvitting off the end of a box?
I only went to the skatepark once as a kid and I had to not only pay to use it, I had to get my grandma to sign a waiver. Street skating was always better. They did eventually build a park in my city that was open to everyone, but I had already stopped skating by that time
“Skateboards take damage from normal everyday use”
*proceeds to show Aaron kyro slamming a skateboard into a hand rail*
Ive been watching skate vids and now i dare to go of a high ramps🎉😅❤and you make good vids😊
another thing, when you want one of em fancy-ass boards with that cool bottom and cool colored trucks like all of your friends but you dont got enough money, stickers and spray-paint become your best friend. you will not believe how many stickers i put on the bottom of my board just cuz i didnt have enough money to get a customized or name brand skateboard
Lol me and my friend literally poked holes in pvc with a broken fork and a lighter, just to screw it on our diy quarter with a switchblade. Funniest thing ever made and came out really good actually
When he said "skate pants" i was like o that is a thing...i just buy a bit wider jeans and skate in that but my mom is not happy about it
Today I went to the skatepark with my not even close to a good board skateboard from a fricking clothing store, I'm a beginner btw, I cannot stress how bad it was just rolling around, it barely even rolls, so i went and got me a good board from my local skateshop, was an insane Improvement, I didnt even have to push it the wind moved me
I could never afford to go to Woodward but I did go to the skatepark of Tampa one time and got to skate with Brent Atchley. Definitely the best skater I ever saw IRL. His style was unbelievable.
i go to spot every week
Great Video and very relatable. Thanks to this vid I just found out not to be the only one who puts duct-tape around a torn shoe.
Baker 3 and the lakai videos were awesome I watched them on repeat for years as a teenager.
When you live in such a broken down poor town they cant afford good roads so you can't go a foot without having to push and depending on where you are there either aren't sidewalks or the sidewalks have 3 pot holes then a huge spot where it just goes up and down at 45 degree angle, and the city would rather build playgrounds and crap than fix all this, thanks a lot Wellsville
growing up, my family wasnt broke, but theyd never buy me a decent board so i skated a $30 walmart board until I broke it and didnt have another board until i bought one after finally being old enough to get a job. im basically starting over fropm zero, but having a car a a good board is definitely a luxury now
Late 80's early 90's I wore those bullet wheels until they were wafer thin...those slides killed those wheels,used to ride toxic also...my trucks were always ground through to the pin also😂😂.We used to go to converted church called the temple in Anniesland,it had the biggest vert ramp in the country at the time and a street section..Happy memories 🎉😅
Try super gluing a bit of leather to the spots that get super worn on your shoes. It makes it last so much longer.
Also took a snapped deck and drilled steel rails on the bottom to make it whole. HEAVY WEIGHT!
The taco bell game man that is legendary and me and my friends definitely got good at it too.
Im not sure about other countries but here in Argentina, when we need wax for a ledge or something, we use candles. Those you buy at any market when your house has no electricty :P
Omg the butcher box add though
I definitely recommend it they got some good meats :)
Love ur vids
1:56 i luckily dont have that problem like my park is 5 minutes away and if i want to go somewhere else the train station is even closer
Ahh yes this brings back memories; back when I used to skate, I users to have a beat-up board... it had serious razor-tail...
Your thumbnail were the wheels I had on my Alien Workshop back in 2008 lmfao. Damn, I miss that sweet ass board lol
How to fix the beat up board problem?
Instead of immediately buying a new board with that same price, get one made out with Canadian maple, it's just good and durable, perfect for long term based skateboards.
One thing that I remember doing as a broke skater back in the days was going to the corner store and throwing out the trash for a drink and some snacks.
6:25 hey thats my local park lol de la cruz skatepark 👌🏼
Yo I literally paused to go to a different window, came back and there was a message about being fast. I wasn´t fast just lucky lol.
Also for sure, getting a ride is the hardest. I live 30 minutes away from a park and can only go on the weekends sometimes. I usually just ride up and down my street unless I head into our little ¨downtown¨ area.
I love how whenever he says broke he shows a bunch on money
@7:22: "7x different bearings?" I almost didn't get that joke.... its like building my own deck with my own 2 left hands!
Not having a ride really sucks, I mostly skate street spots now but when I frequented my local park I would have to skate a hour just to get there.
2:46 there is skatepark named Red Bull maxspace and The guy who is skating is Czech skater named Maxim Habanec
The Bread shoes took me tf out lmfao!
In 99s we would cut the flap off our air walks and put in laces to make a protective piece on shoe for kick flips then duct take to cover the whole it makes lol
I still have my tony hawk walmart board as a relic from my past. Its like totally worn down on both ends. Maybe 1 inch left on the nose and tail both.
for your shoe's wearing out I use glue and some cloth, I soak the fabric in the glue put it over the hole and there you go
In my city, our skatepark back than got few ramps from goverment. It was nice and everything, but we had no U ramp. Someday, one just popped up out from nowhere and till nowdays nobody knows who made it. It was just there, it have been ridden VERY hard. Sad part is, city gave it no love, since it was not their, skaters tryied hard to keep it usable, but it had to be removed, since it become real hazard. Good old days... :)
The Taco Bell coin game hussle was my shit! We would leave the park to skate this DIY spot right behind a Taco Bell and man it was $2 meal deals and coin game burritos all day. Brook Run skatepark, Atlanta, GA.
Sorry for the double comment. My first deck was a razor tailed, water logged Andy Roy Anti Hero with some grind kings, rusted china bones, and 48 World wheels that started life as a 54.
The nineties were a fun era for adolescence. It seems a last gasp of unaccountability without immediate documentation IRL. Old man shakes fist at cloud. Whatever, get it shredders! Run wild in the streets!
3:50 i got one for $18 once and it was very durable
I live in a small town up in Montana so there isnt many skate parks or skaters in general but a few weeks back my dad was on our commitee board and i went in with him and suggested that they could build a small skate park and now there's one being built a block away from where i live. Only downside is i am just starting out skating so i cant do many tricks or even do a simple ollie.
Congrats. I'm a beginner too
lol I started skating like a month ago and my right vans already has a small hole forming from trying to do ollies.
I used to have that LG Double Play phone with the 2 screens and keyboard!!!
for me as a kid even tho i was a broke skater, i am glad i atleast never made anyone mad because when you are from a small town in the middle of nowhere in the midwest, there is nobody else who skates, so i would only get to skate with my dad, and since WW park city is basically in my backyard, we would go every 2 years (2 years bc not a lot of $)
i live over an hours drive away from the nearest functional skatepark, there is one down the road but it was abandonded long ago and idek if its still there
Those diy obstacles gave me ideas
