I'm sure you'll have a ton of people requesting more complex and difficult tricks. I hope you will continue to sprinkle in some of these very basic and simple beginner tricks as well. Thanks. Great job all around.
this is a must watch for any beginner. Doin a simple nose stall on everything helped me learn how to do a lot of other moves when i learned how to skate.
This is gonna be great for my son! I’m 44 years old and have skated since I was 10, and my son has just started this summer. He’s doing everything he can but he pretty much watches guys doing things that most skaters in the world can’t even do let alone a beginner! This will be perfect for him to show him tricks that are attainable and what those tricks lead to...ie. nose stall to eventually nose slide. I tell him the same things most guys would tell a beginner, learn to SKATE first. Get comfortable on your board. But instead he just tries to tre flip constantly because that’s all he sees and he definitely ain’t gonna listen to me about this! 😂. I think this might get through to him though!! Thanks Ben! And we’re both looking forward to the next video for the people who took your survey about Generator decks!! We’re both fans of them!!👍👍
I love yellow painted curbs. Living here in Wisconsin, we don't have very many nice, steep, banked and heavily painted curbs the way California and the rest of the west coast does. However, we do have some straight curbs, and some happen to be painted yellow (if you're lucky) and they slide with a little wax. I have a nice one a few blocks from my house and it's my practice spot. I learn new grinds there and practice little nose slides and manual tricks. Yesterday I learned how to frontside 5-0 grind on the curb and was getting them much more consistently than ever before. 5-0 grinds have nothing to do with this video, I guess I just wanna say curbs are super fun no matter if you're doing slappies or ollie-based grinds.
Thank you for this tutorial, I am 44 years old ... or should I say young 😅 ... and started skating 4 month ago and can do an ollie now, and this will be my next trick to learn! 👍 Greetings from Austria 🛹🇦🇹🛹
Great video! As a 39 year old beginner I had a pretty easy time following along with your tutorial. I'm still working up to increasing my "parallelness" to the curb and actually sliding, but just getting the stall down is fun. At first I was failing due to lack of speed and having my weight too far forward too early -- so I wasn't getting all the way onto the curb. Adding little more speed and unweighting my legs a bit more worked wonders.
I just did my first slappy nose slide with your instruction. The way you described how to incrementally build up to a true nose slide made it very digestible for a beginner like me!
Whenever it’s raining or I’m not skating I find myself binging your videos even all the ones I’ve already watched countless times. You rule Ben! you truly show that skateboarding is about the love and fun 🙌
What a nice channel. I'm 33. I stopped skating when I was 18 or 19 but this turned up in my recommended so I gave it a watch. Just letting you know that it's a cool thing you're doing man.
Great, another distraction from work. Thanks Ben! Hyped for this channel - the nuance of physics and body mechanics gets lost in trick tip videos but it's the little details (where your shoulders point, eye point, hip rotation, body weight distribution) that make the difference between struggling with a trick for years with middling success or having it click for you immediately. Even better if you learn these things from a young age so you don't have years of bad habits and muscle memory baked into your bones. Hopefully this channel accomplishes this. Also, the father-son skate video dynamic is under-explored and I'm loving it. It would be cool if Ben managed to get his bother Ted Degros to cameo in the videos and talk about his time as a pro in the industry.
Your video on turning board in transition on a ramp help me so much that I actually did it this past weekend. Watched the video about two weeks back and had the technique playing over in my head while waiting on the day I could get to the park. And it worked. Thank you 👍🏼
i've been skating for just under three weeks, and i was looking for a slappy noseslide tutorial for something to practice when working on improving my ollie gets too frustrating. this looks pretty great.
I just landed my first one today! At first I didn't understand the movement and the flow, but thanks to your tutorial, I got it down! Thank you so much!!!!!!
Any tutorial is a good tutorial. We are all at different levels of ability so I say bring it all on. It’ll only help. Much love and thank you for the videos.
Great stuff! I've been digging slappy noseslides ontaller ledges lately. A little hesitant to add the pop due to fear but soon enough. A thing I think that is almost always missing in tutorials, even with flip tricks, is weight distribution conversation. You actually address it fairly often in your videos, so good on ya!
I love the vibe you give man. I started skating 2 months ago to spend time with my son, I’m 37 😳 . I found your videos and have been completely beneficial to my progression. Keep the content coming, especially the easier tricks for peeps like me.
Great video, I hung up my skateboard back in the late 80s. At the time we had plastic rails, nose guard, skid plate and truck covers. Back in the day I rode my board everywhere, our boards weren't built for the street skating of today. I was fairly decent on a quarter or half pipe and a few tricks off the pipe. I've recently got back into skating. I've definitely lost all my muscle memory from riding back then and now I'm relearning. Hope to see more of your tutorials to get back into the fun of skating and learn some tricks I missed out on.
Nice memories from the early 90's , my favorite was slappy nose slide to krooked grind (with speed of course) i learn it from from a Ron Knigge in the New Deal vidéo in 1992 i think .
Dude I'm learning these atm and I'm so hyped to go out tommorow and try again. I'm starting to get a little slide in here and there. Thanks for the very helpful video :)
This was one of the first tricks I ever learned back in the day. I love a good noseslide. I've worn through the Everslick on the nose of my Creature doing them. Good video.
Confession: my 12 yo got inspired by Sabre Norris and got my old board out. 20 years since I last skated (I was not good at it either) and I'm learning to skate again at forty-[censored] years old. Now I'm out skating with my favorite person (1 of 2) and the younger one is getting interested too. Just Keep Skating is great, because like us, it's a dad and his kid (except YT dad is waaaaaaaay better than me). And the videos are actually useful & on topic.
I want your trick tips for frontside boardslides and frontside noseslides. I’ve got them good but not consistent. Great idea to have the second channel! One more subscription to look forward to 😁
Thanks Ben ! The thing is at one time, flappy were way too fashion because mastering ollies (switch) was difficult- early 90s-. Then, flappy became old fashioned and has been for a while, because every one had to pop its board showing how good one is to master tricks. Today, flappy are fashion tricks, back from the future and a way to look cooler...
I love your tutorials from your other channel and actually they brought me into loving slappys:D i never did slappys before, but MAN i would love a tutorial on an Impossible at some point! you can never have enough of those
This is coming at a really good time me and my friends want to learn slappys and I also want to learn how to eventually nose slide on ledges so this is great! Also a slappy 5050 (front or back) would be great too!
so i watched this video last year thinking this would just be one of those tricks i only sumtimes do but honestlly slappy noseslides are somthing i do everytime i skate
I'll be following this new adventure. Talking forever about trucks wheelbase and steepness of boards hook me up to your very welcomed tips so this ones about tricks will be very appreciated. Thanks.
One of my favorite tricks back in the day. I regain and lose them these days, but I think I'm going to just commit to keeping them for old time's sake. Super fun. I'm much better at FS though.
Saw a cast in the montage, me I broke my hand too on my first board down hilling when I was 15 iam 48 still skate every chance I get. Iam glad I didn't quite. Keep Skating!✌️💯
Hey Ben! Love your main channel vids and am excited about this new channel, I wanted to ask some questions that you could make into videos or just give me advice on, firstly, when learning new tricks, I can't ever fully commit to them on flatground, no matter how much I try I'm never able to land with both feet, one of my feet always makes it's way back to the ground until I try them on grass or some other soft floor, and from there I always have to progress my way up to get them on normal flatground, and I hate that because some of my friends can fully commit to new tricks with very little effort, I just want to know if my commitment issues will go away with more experience, besides that some real video ideas would be how to fakie ollie down things, kickflips, nose manuals, and 50-50's
I'm sure you'll have a ton of people requesting more complex and difficult tricks. I hope you will continue to sprinkle in some of these very basic and simple beginner tricks as well. Thanks. Great job all around.
I will! :D

Correct
Us old guys and beginners REALLY appreciate vids like this! I was just out in the rain trying them in the parking lot..

How’s it now
There’s this guy who looks a lot like you called Ben degros, strange
Maybe that's because it's meeeeeee!!!!!

Man, your videos not only make me a better skater, they also make me more smarter by adding words like "slidey" to my vocabulary!!
Whenever it’s raining or I’m not skating I find myself binging your videos even all the ones I’ve already watched countless times. You rule Ben! you truly show that skateboarding is about the love and fun 🙌
Thank you!!!!
Would love to see a hardflip trick tip! Keep it up Ben, love what you do homie.
What a nice channel. I'm 33. I stopped skating when I was 18 or 19 but this turned up in my recommended so I gave it a watch. Just letting you know that it's a cool thing you're doing man.
Must be a great feeling to have to coolest dad ever
Your tutorials are second to none, Ben.
Great, another distraction from work. Thanks Ben!

Stoked your doing these videos, started skating a couple months back because of lockdown and these are the kind of tricks I want to get down.
Your video on turning board in transition on a ramp help me so much that I actually did it this past weekend. Watched the video about two weeks back and had the technique playing over in my head while waiting on the day I could get to the park. And it worked. Thank you 👍🏼
Awesome content. And what a nice way to spend some quality time with your son. He's lucky to have a mentor like you.
i've been skating for just under three weeks, and i was looking for a slappy noseslide tutorial for something to practice when working on improving my ollie gets too frustrating. this looks pretty great.
You can do it!
man i love your videos, the way you teach tricks is excellent.
Alright, I need to learn these!! It's so easy Frontside, backside is a different story.
Yo :)
fr tho
After 25 years, this was the fourth trick I landed. So much fun. A bit cheaper than ollie noseslide, but this I can.
I just landed my first one today! At first I didn't understand the movement and the flow, but thanks to your tutorial, I got it down! Thank you so much!!!!!!
Any tutorial is a good tutorial. We are all at different levels of ability so I say bring it all on. It’ll only help. Much love and thank you for the videos.
U knew Im learning this yesterday, then u shot me a tutorial vid today. Awesome!

After trying to get back into skating after 18 years, I have a new love for slappys
Love this dude he reminds me of those cool teachers you get in high school
Hey Ben, TRANSITION tricks pleeeease!!!!! Your videos on how to back disaster, five O grind and fakie pop rock were awesome.

New channel double the content! Love it! Thank you
Glad you like them!

Bruh I’ve always wanted to nose slide but I didn’t know how to Ollie and this just brightens my day :D
“Skating is literally the funnest thing ever!” - Ben Degros, 2020
I'm sitting here recovering from a shattered collarbone and my man out there is skating with his arm in a cast. Epic!

I can't WAIT to find a ledge and get on it tomorrow! Love the vids dude!

Nice tutorial. I was trying to learn these this morning before I found this.
