A set of soft cruiser wheels. I swap wheels depending on how far I'm skating to somewhere. Also more water. I bring about 3 gallons of water with me to the park. I live in Louisiana, where the temps are high 90s and lower 100s during the summer but with the 85-94% humidity, makes the heat index over 110 at times. I literally soak all of my clothes down to my underwear and socks with sweat. I'm usually there all day because it's an hour and a half drive to the nearest park for me and I love skating transition and the bowl. I make it well worth it to spend from open to close only taking small breaks and a break for lunch.

The wheels I run are oj plain Jane wheels, they’re technically filmer wheels but I find they’re soft enough to ride long distance on shitty streets, and hard enough to pull off just about any trick. I keep a set of formula 4 101a wheels in my bag if I’m really getting down, but normally I stick with the softies
Its not rocket science my guy. I was am going for the first time tomorrow and I got to pick up a helmet, knee guards, and some wax. Maybe a few different wheel configs and generally a whole kit. I've been just skating for a year in my mid 30s and I only just got into tricks. I have multiple boards of different styles and I pick them to suit my days. I have a 44" zed longboard for surfing to and from work, I have a new wide strangelove board with fat skate wheels for easy power slides and I have an oldy but goodie first board which is suffering from razortail from my newbie days. I still can't Ollie clean but have my share of injuries to prove it. I am bringing everything to the skatepark including lock and chains to Lock myself inside the skate park. Good luck kicking me out when you can't get in LMAO. I counter their counter cause we can all easily climb the fence
Honestly I could do this with my AK since it's a folding stock but I don't need to have my rifle at a skatepark. Even though I have a CCW, I don't carry when skating anyways because skating with a loaded weapon is just bound to end badly.
I would say, an ar-15 is too big, u can't put it into your bag very well. I think a smg will be a better choice. Personally I prefer a mp7, but it's up to your own preference.
I don't take a bag with me anymore since mine was stolen last summer. I just keep everything in my car. But I always keep an extra deck because I break boards pretty easily. I also keep an extra set of trucks and a set of soft wheels in my car.
Big guy problems lmao. I’m 6 foot and muscular, 215 pounds (I could lose a little weight), but I can snap decks like nobody’s business. It’s honestly kinda impressive lol
i dont reccomend using bronson raws when bombing hills you go insanley faster than you normally would on some reds, this was my experience, i ended up eating shit when i got to the bottom of that hill, SF hills kills
Hey tactics I have a question Do you have to use the same brand speed cream (likes bones) for the same bearings? Or can you use different speed cream for different bearings? Keep up the good work!
I use bronson g2's and the lube in them isn't as sticky as reds so id use bronson lube even on reds but make sure you put something that can the dissolve old lubricate on your bearings isopropyl alcohol works and if you have it WD-40 also works.
Bearings are bearings. Lube is lube. They just put it in different packets the only difference is how runny it is. I have about 20 pieces of machinery for landscaping and farming, I use the exact same chainsaw sprocket grease for everything small, and a grease gun from a bucket for everything large. These things rotate much faster in dirtier conditions than skateboard bearings, 8-10,000 rpm in mud for a brushcutter. That and WD40 will cover everything. Don't let manufacturers rip you off they all claim theirs is special magic stuff.
I try to keep my bag smaller these days by just carrying the things I need to keep my board rolling 1.extra axel & kingpin nuts 2.spare 7/8th alan hardware 3.Wax 4.bearings 5.bushings 6.razor blades 7.ear buds 8.med kit 9.skate tool 10.water & snacks & Maybe just $40-$80 bucks just have some cash on hand that day you never know when your gonna stop for food or need a new board keep it in your pocket don't leave cash or prized possessions in your skate bag I ride my bike alot so keeping a small towel for sweat comes in handy also if it starts raining a trash bag over your board tie it at the bottom so rain doesn't collect at the top going into the bag
For skate tool, Independent makes a belt buckle that has everything on it. I have had it for years. The leather was garbage, but Duluth makes an exact fit for it, and Duluth has a lifetime guarantee on their items. Just a way to gain a spot in your bag. 👍🏼
this isnt something for a skate bag but if there's a water fountain or spout nearby and it's hot, soak your shirt, wring it out and put it on. depending on how much you wring it it'll actually last a while before it dries and keep you cool
The DC backpack from the video was a bag we had in stock when the video was being made (cause we're a skate shop), but most skate-brand backpacks will have the skateboard straps. You should be able to find a backpack with the straps pretty easily at a skate shop. Here's what we have left, obviously inventory is a bit low because it's right after Christmas. Hopefully you find something you like and have an amazing New Year! 🛹🥂 - Tim www.tactics.com/backpacks/skateboard-straps
In covid times I also bring lysol wipes or any type of wipes because there’s some places where i know it’s been touched a tremendous amount of times so i just wipe down a lot of places. and a mask
@@stonedmickey7991 not true! at work ive been saved by wearing a mask and being in contact with people who ended up testing positive, and sometimes theyd take down their masks while they were very close to me. double masking keeps ya safe!
I have a question. Is it necessary to use bearing spacers, or is it optional? And wich brand do you prefer for the bearing cleaning thingy? (and I dont mean lubricant but the other stuff used to clean bearings) Essay by someone in the comments :D
The bearing spacers definitely have their uses, and they're especially important for downhill longboarding. But in 99% of situations in regular skateboarding, they aren't going to make much of a difference. So I'd say their optional (unless you like bombing hills, then I'd say use them so you can tighten down those axle nuts all the way). As far as bearing cleaning kits, I've only ever used the Bones cleaning kit, which is super convenient, but you don't necessarily need to use it, any plastic tupperware works just fine for swishing around the bearings too. Cheers! - Tim
We kinda put a pause on doing wear tests when all of the quarantine stuff started happening and focusing on other kinds of content. But I promise we'll get back to it soon! 👍 - Tim
I’m a broke skater I don’t really have much money so in my backpack I have a bandana to wipe my face , I have a screwdriver and a adjustable wrench , some extra shoelaces , sunglasses , and a water jug
I have an Altoids box with 2 hardware nut & bolt, 2 wheel nuts, 2 king pin nuts, bushings no washers, 2 bearings, alcohol wipes and a shoe sole patch just in case I make a hole in my shirt from the bottom ( i have before)
In case of using wax, is it better to wax the ledge/rail you're skating or waxing the deck of your board, or is it a personal choise? And can you somehow give me an example that in what situations is it better to use wax? (I'm a beginner skateboarder)
In most cases it's much more effective to wax the ledge. When it's just not grinding/sliding and you KNOW you're getting into the trick properly and you're even pushing and leaning back and it's still not going... then it's definitely time to wax it. And sometimes it depends on the material that you're trying to slide/grind. Steel usually grinds super well, but aluminum grips on your trucks and needs more wax to grind. Certain types of concrete need more wax too. It's completely personal preference on how slick you like a ledge or flatbar. A situation where you should wax your truck/deck instead would be: you and someone else are both skating a ledge and you want it to be slicker, but he doesn't want you to wax it, so you just wax your own board so it doesn't mess him up while he's trying to dial in his trick. It might deposit a little bit of wax, but it shouldn't be enough to really throw him off. I hope that helps! Just play it by ear and be courteous to other people's wishes, but if you need to wax the ledge so you can actually enjoy skating it rather than getting frustrated cause it wont slide/grind, then just butter it up! Cheers! - Tim
We do, but we're unfortunately sold out. 😕 There's a nation-wide skate hard goods shortage right now because of Covid-19 and the shipping restrictions related to it. So just about every skate shop is having a hard time restocking the shelves. But I'm sure we, and a ton of other shops have some Bones wheels on the way! I hope you can find what you're looking for! Spitfires, OJs, and Rictas are good too! 😉 Cheers! - Tim
@@summ4r264It's just the policy for international orders because it's expensive to ship overseas. Feel free to hit up our customer service reps if you want to discuss the details more (1.541.349.0087). Are there any local skate shops in Turkey that have what you're looking for?
There’s never going to be much variation in length, the width is more what you should look at. Starting out at 11 I would suggest 7.5 or 7.75 inches in width. But as you get older and taller I would suggest widening if you feel like you would benefit from it.
I need to know what I will need to assemble my own deck. I have a deck but nothing else. Hoping to find a video with such a list. Using a cruiser deck btw.
You already have your deck, so the rest is: Griptape (if your deck isn't already gripped), trucks, wheels, bearings, and hardware. Risers pads can be useful for cruiser set ups, but you only need them if your wheels are bigger than 55mm. Here's a video to help you put it together if you want to build it yourself.

You should do a how to on riding with a backpack on. I don’t know if everyone has an issue but I do sometimes.
I carry all those things, but i also include a towel to wipe sweat, and a large trash bag which I'll use to cover my board should it start raining.
That’s such a good idea about the trash bag!
That’s so smart
That’s a really smart idea, I’mma tell the homies bout this one

10 Skateboard Bag Essentials - Tactics
1 - AR-15
Honestly I could do this with my AK since it's a folding stock but I don't need to have my rifle at a skatepark. Even though I have a CCW, I don't carry when skating anyways because skating with a loaded weapon is just bound to end badly.
I would say, an ar-15 is too big, u can't put it into your bag very well. I think a smg will be a better choice. Personally I prefer a mp7, but it's up to your own preference.
I just carry around my trusty prostitute pistol, its small, reliable, and ammo don't cost much.
This is also useful as a school bag essential.
A pistol AR will fit.
I just keep about 15 copies of Shrek on DVD in case someone at the skatepark doesn't have their own. Always got to stay prepared.
😂
bruh i just have a skate toll, wax, water bottle and alot of weed
peace
You forgot on papers
You forgot a weed stickers to plaster around the sk8park
If you want this little boys soul you gotta pay the troll toll
The king is back tim
I always have a small med kit with bandages, Wound patches, tweezers, and even siccors in my bag.
I never clicked on a video so fast
Awesome content, as always.

Can you guys do a review on the vans ultrarange pro 2

Can you do a video on when to change out your deck?
Hey tactics I have a question
Do you have to use the same brand speed cream (likes bones) for the same bearings? Or can you use different speed cream for different bearings? Keep up the good work!
You can put Speed Cream or whatever other lubricants you might have in any brand of bearing. 👍 Cheers! - Tim
