Deck Sizing Recommendations
---------------------------
Men's Shoe Size -- Deck Width
4-7 -- 7.0-7.75"
8-10 -- 7.5-8.25"
11-12 -- 7.75-8.5"
13+ -- 8.0"+
Note: If you prefer transition skating over street skating like me, choose a board on the wider end of the spectrum.
Choosing Trucks
---------------
I recommend choosing trucks that are 1/4" narrower than your deck if you ever want to use the board to do freestyle tricks. Otherwise, getting trucks that are the exact same width as your deck is fine.
Choosing Wheels
---------------
I have an entire video on this topic here: • How to Pick Skateboard...
Choosing Bushings
-----------------
Skater's weight -- Bushing hardness
140lb- -- soft to medium soft (amzn.to/2udgYjo)
140-180lb -- medium soft to medium hard (amzn.to/2u0Yjbw)
180lb+ -- hard to extra hard (amzn.to/2zdYNA5)

I'll add: Always have multiple tricks you want to learn. That way when one starts to frustrate you or you've spent an hour and not made any progress, swap over to a different one for a bit. This includes "non-tricks" like kickturns, throwdowns, cavemans (cavemen???), just pushing around at speed, etc. All of it contributes to control over your board so getting better at just generally riding around should help build up your confidence and balance.
I also find it helps me stay interested in skating I’m trying pop shuvits at the moment and find skating around a bit after doing lots of practise helps keep it fun for me and shows that I am actually able to do a few things on a skateboard
If you are a beginner, don't give up just because everyone is better than you
My ankles: im bout to end this whole mans career
Thx
Will do
I just can’t ollie
Blue Ghost Trust me the day you Ollie you’ll be open to so many new things don’t give up
*skate with people that are better then you*
I’m the only skateboarder in my town, everyone else rides scooters 😂
Rozealinda Schultz that sucks
I feel you! I'm the only skater at my school, everyone else says they are skaters but ride longboards
i feel u
Rozealinda Schultz same
Bummer.. right
Damn Braille diss track
I was on a rampage at one point, learning tricks in under an hour mostly and one of the secrets I practiced was to believe I already knew how to do the trick. Another tip you can try with any trick is to practice keeping the board below your feet.
Luke Garner pretending like you can stomp a trick really helps you land it. That commit. Being older now I loose my tricks quickly so I’m trying to learn how to retain my decade of practice haha
dude it's night and reading this makes me wanna skate now lol
Thx
Number 6... DONT QUIT! I see so many kids start to get there bearings on their board or just start to Ollie properly and they are DONE, never to be seen again. Don't get discouraged! Everyone even Tony Hawk couldn't stand on their board at one point, the more time you spend with your board and other skaters things will rub off on you and you will improve no matter what.
I needed this. Been stuck on tres and front feebles for a while snd after missing a shit ton of kickflips today I got real mad
P]pp]
Dude thanks for that i needed to hear that
“Don’t turn it into a job” I’m kinda happy he said that, idk..
People take it to seriously and ends up trying to make it a competition. And it’ll just make it harder for you
Thats why Braille is always pushing Skateboarding Made Simple, even tho it doesnt work for everyone..
Shaved head, I knew this day would come, and I gotta say, lookin good
Thanks so much!
This dude helped me pump on a board years ago, been flowing the parks since. I agree so much with the 'hanging around with better skaters' tip. Good vid
All Kinds Bro, thank you so much. That's extremely good to hear.
Shoes, grip and board play a vital role in your progress. Don't stick with the same brand like its a religion. Not all shoes are the same quality. Those $40-50 slides may be affordable and work for you now, but eventually you will realize that they limiting your progress due to the design. Save up an extra 20-50 bucks and buy a shoe that will offer support and can take a beating.
The same can be said with other skate equipment. I recently bought a pair of Nyjah's SB Free and a new deck. I was able to bang out a nollie tre on the fourth try and a full cab with no pivot. I havent been able to nollie tre in over 5 years and it wasn't until I bought quality gear that I was able to land it.
I use fucked up thin high tops 🥲
Please no cursing

When you start to learn a trick its about feeling the board out, getting familiar with how the trick forms. When you're having trouble landing a trick that you've been at for hours and you're too stubborn to give up and try another day, that's when you break down the trick into components (keeping the board below you, popping right, flicking at the right time, rotating your body, rotating the board).
Hey buddy just wanted to say thanks for the info, I’m 35 yrs old and just picked up a board about 3 months ago. I just retired from racing dirt bikes and figured I would try something new, all I can say is you guys make it look a lot easier than it really is!! Thanks for the videos, I have watched a lot of different people teaching skating and your the best one so far! Keep up the good work!
Always practis tricks while riding at slow speeds. Never practis by standing becose while you practis standing you pic up bad habits with your shoulder positioning.
Absolutely an excellent tip! Thank you! 🙏
Good point
Good tip 👍
Amazing point
Interesting...
his posture is so good
it weirds me out
All the advice this dude says, really resonates with me, I feel that this is one of the best channels for teaching people skate. I'm 29 and starting skateboarding and the advice given to me by this man, has motivated me a lot, I don't feel embarrased anymore by trying to learn skate. Greetings from Tijuana Mexico dude!!
Definitely one of the nicest comments I've ever received on here bro, thank you and glad to hear you're having a blast!
best advice i ever got: “just be chill” changed my life
Just have fun the best i've heard too
Being the best in the group and explaining every step to do a trick also has its benefits. Constantly having to explain the detail of a trick, makes you actively think more about each step and perfecting them. Repeating is key
the best advice ive gotten has been from strangers in the park encouraging me : ) also big thanks to the skate friends ive met who taught me so much!!!
I never felt like I was making progress skating and my mates always ended up being far better than me in the parks and I constantly tried learning tricks that they could do that I couldn’t , then I took the vids advice and found tricks I was interested (mainly pressure flips) and found skill level wasn’t much of a difference it was more an interest thing thanks man you kept me in the sport
Heck yeah man! That is so sick, keep it up 🤘
Skating with better skaters is a must. For the past year I have been sticking around the same skill level cause my “good” skater friend quit for a year. Now he skates sometimes but I need to progress so I have made a deal with myself that I need to learn one new thing every skate session even if I can’t skate with better skaters.
Pro tip #6: To become the best skateboarder in the world just kill anyone that's better than you.
Gotta catch 'em all,
there can be only one!
@@Monkeyshaman you mean like Pokémon?
Tony hawk here i comeeeeee
Thats literally every other skater in the world that i gotta kill.
Thanks ill take this into consideration 😄😄🥰🥰
you’re so inspirational and motivating and just very fun and learning to watch!
The Forge Your Own Path Forward is the best advice for skating.
Dont worry about "what trick comes next in the line" because it's not like that. You dont level or rank up in skateboarding. You just skate. Learn whatever trick you want when you want to. I learned varial kickflips before I learned how to pop shuv it. Learn what you want when you want to.
Vemon Guy yup this is what i always say. the only “mandatory” trick really is an ollie in my opinion.
Very helpful man. I at least can do a treyflip but can't do a backside 180 WTH. But all it takes is determination and baby steps towards the trick as explained. Thanks
Oh, for sure man. That's actually not even all that uncommon. Backside 180s can be pretty elusive.
Definitely keep a look out for those stepping stone tricks. One that I know for backside 180s is to do them on an incline or a hip right as you're coming to your highest point. It reduces the amount you have to spin, but gets your body used to swinging your shoulders around in that direction, getting your board to follow your feet, and rolling away in fakie stance afterward.
And if you don't have backside reverts yet, definitely get those going because you can learn a lot from that motion, as well as incorporate it into your initial attempts at flatground backside 180s.
Hope you get em soon man!
Justin Lauria thanks man will definitely try it 👍👍👍
Awesome video! Thanks a lot for these tips and actually thanks for all of your videos, what you say and teach always keeps me motivated. In a while I'll start doing tricks but by now I'm tryin to get comfortable just riding and carving
One thing I can say is, just do it. Last week I could hardly caveman on flat ground because my mind was telling me my board would slip out. Then I hung out with my friend who I haven’t seen in a few weeks and I just went for it and caveman-d of a wall that was like 1 and a half metres high
Haha the diss of Braille was funny :D and also a very good point. I learned bs180's, kickflips and heelflips before I could fs 180. I learned that one later on when I understood skateboarding more.
One of my favourite youtube skate teachers
The skate with friends tip really helped so much, my friends always push me to keep trying when I feel like giving up. Thanks a lot!
i have no friends
Your always helps me the best with motivation to keep skating thanks!
Tip 4 about gear is something I think a lot of people overlook. When I was first starting I got some 53mm wheels and had them for like 2 years. I got new 56mm wheels that were a bit wider too and it was like an instant boost to my ability, I wish I'd changed up sooner.
Number 4 is something not a lot of people talk about but pretty important. I was using cheap chinese wheels and had a hard time landing tricks as it wears down. Then I switched to a bones stf and it's so much easier to shove and land my tricks
You deserve more subscribers. Your videos helped me out a lot in the skate park and I hope it will help many others too.
Sick video man, ive watched a few and subscribed, you should really have way more subs. But for now keep up the good work and i believe youll be in the millions in no time.
I can't say enough how much I appreciate the support man, thank you! I'll stay on my grind!!
love the tip about breaking down a trick and learning it in parts! thanks
I agree with you to some extent because I learned how to kickflip before learning pop shovit and I am better than some people but not as good as others. However, I learned tricks instantly, I can get use to any size with some time and rarely set goals
That was very good recomendations!! Thank You
Man this dude is so honest it made me drop a tear of joy
HEY THAT'S MY POP SHOVE ISSUES!! I THINK YOU FIXED IT!!
Hi,Justin,i have been skated for about four months and not progressed a lot. Thanks for ur tips.I'll definitely put these tips into my skateboarding plans.
That's what it's all about for sure, it's always hard to measure your own progress but with time it will inevitably occur! 🤙
Dude you’re an awesome RUclips keep it up man
I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know that, Shane.
Keep up that awesome attitude :) haha
Remember to add your own tip to progress faster in skateboarding in a comment!
I'll pin my favorite one :)
Justin Lauria Whenever u wanna give up push harder grass is greener on the other side but United under god you can do anything if u try!
Can you do a video on how to do a sweeper on a mini ramp? Your videos are very helpful!
Heck yeah I can! That's one of my favorite tricks. Anything I can try to help you with in the meantime?
Justin Lauria do u got fb or some way I can contact you? I need a skate support on rolling shuvits. Every video I watched doesn't explain much. I can shuvit the full way but my back foot never can get back on the tail...
Sure, no problem :) I always respond to direct messages on Instagram (@justinlauria)
Judging by what you've said so far, though, my guess would be that you're leaning more toward your back foot when you pop the trick, which happened to me when I started, and it was because I was afraid to fully commit to jumping right on top of where the board was going to land. I had to just ignore my instinct to hesitate and I fell a few times, but it got me used to putting my feet over where the board was going to land.
This is a really good video. I am riding a 9" flight deck, polar bear trucks, and some 60mm 85 or 79duro. I have 55 spf bones but I just started.
Love these videos!
Great video and very informative.
now i can skateboard like a pro because of you
I always believed you had it in you
Good stuff. Thanks! What's the best way to teach yourself how to ride switch? I'm 45 and just got back into skating 3 weeks ago. Trying to learn switch but every time I roll that way I kick out and eat it.
#2 isnt accurate for me, i dont have friends :3
same :/
I have no friends that board
damn that sucks
Righttt
quirkyyyyyyy
Thanks a lot for the tips! Your vids are awesome, really helped me with FS/BS 180s, keep it up! Btw which font are you using for your video captions? Looks awesome
Thank you! btw it's an Adobe font called 'Birch'
Number five was the one I needed - mainly the deadline bit as I have a kryptonite trick I cant get over and just keep making excuses. Time to pay the pavement gods, take a few bails and falls and finally get it. Deadline Sunday the 16th! Thx dood!
Let's Goo!!
Dudes your way to good at this,I thought I was detailed,when does your college open because I'm in .hah hah.
This is great info for beginners or anyone skateboarding.👍
Awesome! Couldn't be more glad to hear that 😁
Love this
Been skating 14 years, even after listening to stuff I know this actually I feel like will help me a lot, I’m not a rail guy but I’m gonna be🤘 (the goal anyway)
Thanks this helps a lot
Thanks for help🙏
That forehead crease 😂
Good vid my guy 😍😍
Hay Justin love your videos man Iv been skating a year next month and your vids have helped me massively plus the way you break it down is amazing have you got any tips on moving and ollie ?
That's really good to hear, man. Thank you for taking the time to let me know!
If you're working on your ollie, I do have a video on the easiest way to learn them: ruclips.net/video/JY5nCJ9zm6A/видео.html
Hopefully there's something in there that can help you out.
Thanks again, and keep shredding!
Thanks Justin I will check it out just having problems with the dragging foot part and you kinda need to flick the foot but not in a kick flip kinda way 😂
Lesson 4 makes me wish I saw this before I got back into skating, got a 7.75 board and she’s homestly kinda small, I tried my friends 8.25 and it felt so much better and more comfortable but I went off what I skated as a kid in highschool
Man, thanks I was just looking to hear this sentence : don't waste your time for tricks you don't care. I just want to learn the basics (Ollie, frontside180, kickgflip, pop shovit) and when I see some strange tricks that I don't want to I am like WTF HOW AM I GONNA REMEMBER THEM. But now I know I do not have to do them If I don't like them. Thanks!
3:30 jesus this man is big brain why didn't I think of that. I've been so scared of shuvits since I landed them primo like 3 times so I've stayed away from them but this might help.
Awesome video dude
Right on! Thanks so much 👊
Damn didn’t even say “like this video” I did since you gave great tips! 🔥
Dope! Txs
Ayyyy Austin Texas skater, see you at house park sooon homies
Lol, I skated 8.25 since the start. Recently I felt I needed to change something and switched to 7.5 just for kicks. It made me a better skater and helped me do the tricks I could never do on the 8.25. so at almost 40yo I am a pretty old teen then 🤷🏽♂️
Nice Justin I have the same statue that's on the desk haha. Good info man good vid👊
No freaking way! That is an epic coincidence. I got mine as a gift so I'm not even sure where you can buy him.
Justin Lauria haha I did too so I have no idea crazy.
THANKS BRO
Let's get it, homie! 🔥🔥🔥
Thx
Hey thanks as a skater this really hekped me out alot.
Awesome! 👍
Idk about deadlines but i do set goals. I think in this sport its kinda hard to tell wether you are going to learn a trick in a day or a month. So i would recommend to pick a trick you want to learn and just try doing it. I usually just go and train the same thing for hours then not intensionally i understand what i was doing wrong and improve. But it also important to give yourself some time and do things you already know how to do or just take a nice ride on your board
I'm trying to figure out what makes or breaks a trick, even if your skill level is good enough to do it but you're not getting it. I tried skating at a comfortable speed and tried waiting some time before I tried a trick, soaking in the anticipation to do the trick, and that helped me land tricks with more focus and presence.
Dude, these are really amazing tips. Really appreciate your contributions! 🙏
Thank u for this I love the info
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it :)
Hope you're having an awesome summer so far!
Justin Lauria I am!! Well I'm learning different tricks right now rolling shuvits than nollie shuvits than Ollie's and I learned how too drop in!!
😲 I'm so happy for you! Dropping in is a huge milestone, so that is freaking amazing. Great job!! and keep it up! 💪
Justin Lauria thanks!! Was scary
Great vid
Thanks bud!
Hey my parents upgraded my board I had a skinny board that I use for about a year and I got a bigger Santa Cruz I hope this new board helps me
*The intro reminded me of:*
"Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville, welcome to Jackass" 😂
Curious if Justin got inspired by that very segment :)
Mano esse cara é o Vitor Sarro, só pode
Very true
Seriously
would it be weird to write down trick names then how many times i popped those tricks in a skate sesh? beacuse i feel like maybe that's taking things too seriously/robotically. but at the same time i feel like i can be a useful tool to progress.
Quit skating 10 years ago because I felt like I wasn’t getting better. Just got back into it and boy do I wish I never quit. Relearning all my flat ground tricks have been hell lol
4.08: i bought my board from untrusted site and it wasnt original and its more heavier than a normal board and its 8". does that affects my pop ? bc i cant get my ollie high, and i do pop with allot of strenth
Dopetity dope!
I have been skating for a couple years now and feel like I’m not progressing but everyone else is. This is kinda making skateboarding boring and I just want to improve and have fun again. Any tips would be nice
I sprained my ankle, is there any exercise I can do to still strengthen my legs or get better without skating? I just want my ankle to heal already 🥲
Wow. Maybe I need to upgrade my gear again. My progress jumped when I Frankenstein'd a beard together with decent parts I got from friends after I broke my first Walmart board. But I'm not much smaller than you are and the board I use now is 7.5 and has mega worn wheels. - Maybe I need an 8 or 8.5, and I have no idea whether bigger wheels would help me or set me back a bit
See I love this cuz I want to move up comfortably without falling SENSELESSLY
I´ve been skating since November and I can ollie pretty well and do fakie and regular shove its but I just can't land that heelflip I´ve been practicing it for like 1 month.
I wear size 9.5 shoes and I am 5’8.5” tall, I skate an 8.50” board because I wanted to do more vert skating but I’ve ended up doing more street and flat ground. So I think I’m gonna switch to an 8” or 8.25” on my next setup.
That sounds right to me!
What’s that line on his head? 🧐
I ride a 8.5 it’s great
It's funny i can Varial Kickflip but i can't kickflip. Any tips?
Im trying to do a shuv it and it works good, but i got used to land only with one foot. Now i cant land them :(
i've been trying to do an ollie for the last three days, almost four hours a day. It's very frustrating that my back wheels barely and most likely don't come of the ground. Yet, today I'm spending another three hours on trying.
You got this homie
Give us an update when u hit it!
@@Layer88 ah, thank you! I didn't get it today tho, pretty sad :[]
Just No no worries , there’s always tomorrow, hope your enjoying the skating though keep at it I was in your spot a couple of months ago and once u land it your only going up from there
@@Layer88 thanks, it really gives me motivation!
I started skating 2 years ago but wasn't making progression i just started skating again 😄😄
Sometimes taking a little break can work wonders for busting through mental barriers ;)
I’m 6’3 with a size 13 too lol but I ride a 8.5 it’s cool but is that a decent size?
Yeah, I think that's a great size
If you are 170+ lbs and dont know what bushings to buy, buy bones hardcore bushings the hardest they have, they havent ripped and i skate about 4-6 hours a week and with a lot of intensity usually. Im like 170 lbs and the bones bushings have no break in period and dont get stuck in 1 direction and they dont rip easily at all.
Your eyes burned right through my head like lasers Lmao
Nice video though!
I started skate ing a year ago but I haven’t rly progressed at all because I know the basics but I’m really scared about going to skate parks because I fell like I’m going to be judged and I will be in peoples ways.
"Don't try to turn skateboarding into a job" - starts a RUclips channel with hopes it will one day be his full time thing 😆🤘🏼
I stopped improving 1 year ago, even tho i skate very regularly. I dont know what im doing wrong and im frustrated.
Try different things even if you don't like it
