What does Paul Rodriguez's skateboard feel like?

[@bendegros]

Just want to say a big thanks to Adriano Fiore for filming!!!!

[@solidbluebrian]

He did a great job!!!

[@fernandoreyes680]

Everyone should check Adriano's channel too!! He's really good

[@galvanizedgnome]

Anytime! It's my pleasure

[@LUZ-zv6pq]

The footage here was really nice. Beyond the content it had a really good feel, angles, flow and like you said a little bit of music really gave it that little extra 👌 Definitely did a good job

[@jeancampaner5639]

Having Adriano Fiore as a filmer and skater friend has probably given you 30% of the skate kills and motivation in this vid. 20% was from the setup. And the rest from you, and some rush not to get too late home...

There is a KZbin skater that does that. Decks. Shoes. Etc. can’t remember his name for some reason right now tho

He could do Nyjahs set up since Nyjah sells his exact mold with his company now, an 8.125 Disorder board, with 147 thunders

I'm so glad I found this channel. I'm 34 and I've just picked up my skateboard again after over 10 years of nothing more than a 5 minute roll and my board collecting dust. This channel gives me so much motivation and great info too 🤙

[@taylorhadley425]

you skate exactly how I want to skate when Im older Ben, from trick selection to style, you're always killing it! really enjoyed this video especially with the music during the skating, really brings a brighter mood to the videos. keep it up👍🏻

[@conzpicuouz]

This right here man. Ben gives me hope that adult skaters can still do what they want to continue on with when they were skating as teens or young adults

[@sidwellsk8er]

That infamous scoochy backside flip killed those wheels.

I think it was from putting them on graphic side out 😂

Graphics out on conicals and nothing else.

@@reza_dc2 Wheelbase has little to nothing to do with height.

[@ivanm0129]

The fact that Ben has less than 100k subs and John Hill has 1mil is a fucking disgrace. Ben is always making 🔥videos and reviews and ACTUALLY talks about what his video title says not just clickbait like that other fucking lame. Keep making awesome videos Ben!! 🙌🏻

ronnie bertino , at 10.11 line , heelflip , nollie halfcab flip over a thing, switch flip and finally switch crooked, in the video "second hand smoke"

From FKD to Ándale, from Plan B to Primitive, from Grizzly to Primitive grip, from Plan B wheels to Primitive wheels. The Diamond hardware is literally the one thing that has stayed consistent lol

Mediocre session... if I could skate that well when I retired 15 years ago... I’d have been pretty stoked. Just trying to get back into skating as my town has finally decided to invest in a professionally designed/made skatepark and our son is getting into it. The videos have helped bring back the skate itch. Thanks.
