Can you skate on ice, with a longboard? - ft. Dad Bods and the Supersonic

[@PaulKentSkates]

Be sure to check out @jezuscinco 's video that he made with this footage. It's so good! kzbin.info/www/bejne/op61d5iImrF0nZo

[@JezusCinco]

Amazing shots, informative, funny and a nice guy called Paul Kent!

[@PaulKentSkates]

Wow! A world famous longboarder posting on my channel! 🤯

[@khaledkz799]

I love everything about this video the music, editing, the quality of the voiceover, the humor and the amazing cinematic shots. this video needs to win an award of some kind 😅🥰

[@PaulKentSkates]

That is super kind! Thank you very much.

[@lucelferink6725]

Compliments for storytelling! Really enjoyed your humor, cinematic shots, sound effects and choice of music.

[@noahtison9131]

Incredible edit, the footage of you skating the lake was so beautiful!

[@ShortSliderMark]

This is so funny and brilliantly done! Deserves way more views, congratulations Sir!

[@PaulKentSkates]

It wouldn't have been as good, if not for you teaching the world pressure slides and flat spins.

[@mathieubelanger3825]

Loved this! That's what longboarding is all about. I feel sorry for that wheel but hey, you don't make mistakes unless you try stuff.

[@eBoard3R]

🤙🏼 *Awesome video!* 🤙🏼 Interestin setup!! The irony of puttin spikes on the wheels but forgettin to add them to your shoes 😂👌🏼👌🏼

[@PaulKentSkates]

I thought I had spikes, but I must have lost them. For commuting you are probably better off not using them. As you only hit icy puddles and you can coast over them. And real ice there is no way you can get by without them. I needed them badly.

[@eBoard3R]

@@PaulKentSkates made for an absolutely awesome video... but don't you yet scared the ice will break? 😱

[@PaulKentSkates]

@@eBoard3R thank you. Yes I was a little worried at the first lake because it was a bit warmer the days before I got there. That's why I was carrying that ice axe. Incase I fell through and could pull myself up. At the second place they had people checking the ice for us. It did have rain and melted the following day though, so it would have been dangerous that day. But it was stable when I was there.

[@aidenshipley5461]

Dude I watched this whole video in one sitting I couldn’t get enough of your journey into making this absolutely unreal ATV! I laughed very loudly when you forgot your GFs skii pole “anddd I have adhd”, couldn’t have related more. Great video man!!!!!

[@PaulKentSkates]

Thanks Aidan! Let's do some downhill freestyle or some park skating soon!

[@icorsaridiumbar]

Fantastico! Complimenti per il Video e la Musica da Walzer, Sei un Grande, Bell'Idea!!!💪🤙Mi servirà quando andrò su in montagna!!

[@MarcelinBigelow]

This is awesome man! Thank you for this one haha

[@PaulKentSkates]

Thanks for watching Marcelin!

[@JonEby]

YEEEEEEAAAH, Paul! So cool to see this come together!

[@FryCocoa]

your videos have the quality and production values of mil view videos but you only have 3.2 o.O DESERVE SO MUCH MORE

[@PaulKentSkates]

Hey @FryCocoa Thank you. I really appreciate you saying that. Like everything it takes time to grow. I make my videos in my spare time so I don't have many, that's part of it too. I definitely enjoyed this video a lot and think it's the way to go. I have more stupid projects planned.

[@FryCocoa]

Cheers! Can't wait to see them! :)@@PaulKentSkates

[@theswedishchicken5963]

Would be so cool to see this with an electric skateboard! Amazing video!

[@PaulKentSkates]

@hellsfavoritesaltyberserke4724 @theswedishchicken5963 yeah, the dad bods are compatible with some e-skates. Maybe I'll give it a spin next winter.

[@DSRT888]

Had to look twice to make sure I liked the video :).

[@BBWsk8]

Such elegance, such grace, such dad bods

[@insanogeddon]

None too shabby that

[@alexsnow8015]

This video made my day

[@user-rf5gp7bh4e]

thanks for the share Bro... you did very well with your stupid idea... i love it... so are the rest... 🤟🧡🇸🇬😉 # stay safe & healthy #

[@justint.4254]

Man that is cool. Here in the Netherlands those DAD BODS are priced at 185 euro. So I would not dare to butcher them like that.

[@PaulKentSkates]

Oh yeah it was stupid. I felt like such a jerk!

[@Michaelajacksonfilms]

Thank you

[@ericduminil]

Excellent video. Congrats!

[@PaulKentSkates]

Hey Eric! Thank you.

[@Zigsquiddly]

And here I was just trying to get a setup for traction in Seattle rain...XD Great vid, it's cool to see more of the ice trick shots that were on Instagram earlier this year. Maybe Black Friday I'll get myself a second-set so I can actually skate during the snow season

[@PaulKentSkates]

It's weird. Definitely takes some getting used to as the studs work more when you are sideways than they do when rolling. and the studs make it roll slowly so you don't get to coast as much. But black ice is instantly impossible to skate on and when you consider that, it's actually quite amazing how well it works in comparison. I think if you lathes a channel in the wheel like a rain wheel you could put the studs in and adjust them, and you could also remove them and use the dad bods as rain wheels during the nicer half of the year.

[@corallaroc2946]

Quality content

[@William-Royce]

Amazing 😊

[@JoeKyser]

If you can go 17mph on it, I would say thats a win

[@parislongskater]

Brilliant

[@kostyafedot551]

Great video!

[@krazypeople4]

Hey Paul! Fantastic video, the drone shots were amazing. Those wheels remind me of my old abec11 107mm flywheels... i think i actually still have them somewhere in my garage. When i first got them i thought no cracks or rocks could stop me, until a large enough rock sent me flying at maybe 20/25mph... that was the last time i used those wheels lol (your videos also encouraged me to get back into skating, appreciate you bud)

[@skate-horizons]

Great Video! Love it!

[@PaulKentSkates]

Thank you Michael! I appreciate it, especially coming from a DIY master!

[@d.p.l9623]

Super well made video, good stuff Paul👌

[@Rideables]

Fun idea and great cinematography!

[@PaulKentSkates]

Thank you! It's a bit of a mixed bag. But I had fun filming it.

[@StevenBryanKnives]

That was great

[@HauntedXXXPancake]

I'd love to mod a 4WD electric longboard like that and do some mad, Japanese style ice-drifting 😃.

[@PaulKentSkates]

I'm here for that!!

[@dogzep]

Always entertaining and why didn’t I think of that? My Dad Bods are so comically large I’ve been calling them Clown Shoes. I still laugh when I see them.

[@PaulKentSkates]

I appreciate it!

[@stillchromatic]

Guess you really can skate on ice, with a longboard!

[@hashtagskaterboi7149]

Paul kent from Canada!

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Well edited video :) Fine story telling :)

[@PaulKentSkates]

I appreciate it Krishnan.

[@AllThingsMinistry]

Love your content brother, keep it up!!!!!!

[@PaulKentSkates]

Thank you! How is your achilies tendon?

[@AllThingsMinistry]

@@PaulKentSkates Doing alright man, I'm skating around 6 miles a day I think I might just need to lose a little weight and that might help haha.

[@PaulKentSkates]

Where is the pain on your tendon? Did you see I made a super lengthy geeky video on achilies tendon injuries?

[@khaledkz799]

This will 100% be my next setup 😝

[@DeniseNepraunig]

Amazing video, love the story telling and music! Love when people try out their crazy ideas. By the way, have you ever tried "ice board blades" for your board? Here in Berlin there isn't hardly any ice, so I didn't try it but it looks fun. Like ice skating but for skateboards and probably longboards and surfskates.

[@PaulKentSkates]

Thank you! I haven't tried skate blades yet. I plan to buy some for next winter. I'll definitely make a follow up video.

[@Kajukota]

That's just awesome. I recently got my Supersonic in and I've been trying to find a setup that works. I'm struggling to find a setup that uses my Dad Bods. How did you set this board up without getting wheel bite on those huge wheels?

[@PaulKentSkates]

I'll need to double check but I believe I had a 5/8th inch riser in the front and just under half inch in the rear.

[@Mr.Monster1313]

U need 3 rows of studs on each wheel..1 in the middle..and 2 on the sides..edges..i bet it would help..

[@PaulKentSkates]

Definitely would help on rougher uneven ice.

[@eddiewaz2474]

Would you get more traction if they were on the inside of the wheel?

[@PaulKentSkates]

Potentially for a few reasons. One is that the core is closer to the inside edge. But my thinking was I wanted it to roll as well as possible on pavement also, so I figured more flex would help with that. I did accidentally stud the inside lip of one of the wheels though. 🤦 I placed the wheel in the rear so it would return to center easier. The studs penetrate more the more it slides. So when you begin to slide the resistance increases. It's tricky to get used to.

[@pierremiyamoto4490]

[@juniorpedron3304]

What are the pros and cons of pairing two different duro wheels?

[@PaulKentSkates]

I am riding the same duro in this one. Why do I often run split duros? It gives you more traction in the rear but maintains some of the rolling resistance of the harder wheels. Let's you drive off the rear or an exit of a corner harder, which can mean more speed (especially when pumping). I assumed it might be faster in corners when downhilling, and then motorcycle engineer told me out of the blue said I should consider it, and that It would be faster. He explained why, but I didn't understand it fully. (but it depends on how your trucks are set up I think). Lastly, a little more dampening in the rear, and higher roll resistance in the front wheels (where I try to keep my weight most of the time). When sliding it returns to forward easier which is nice when you wear a backpack a lot.

[@juniorpedron3304]

@@PaulKentSkates thank you for answering my question! Appreciate that a lot 🤙🏽 so you’re running softer duro in the back right?

[@pavelmachacek7387]

Hi Paul, I don't understand why you're releasing a winter video almost in the summer. I love you, but who wants to longboard on ice, why? Peru, Maroccoo, LDP, but why this? Sorry, simple things work.

[@PaulKentSkates]

@pavelmachacek7387 Yeah I would have liked to get it out earlier. I was filming it up to about 4 weeks ago during March break (it was still winter here, and I had 4 feet deep snow where I was skating). It was either release it once I finished editing or wait until next winter. I figured I would go now, and then release more footage on KZbin shorts tiktok and instagram next winter to hopefully get people watching it. Why skate on ice? No really good answer, at least not at first. It seemed silly, and because I can, apparently. I suppose I wanted to test the concept. To test if the studs actually help on ice puddles when using it for mild winter commutes, using studded wheels help Adam Ornelles won the ultra skate this year. But aside from proof of concept I didn't have very high expectations aside from a laugh. After a few rides I figured out it does have a practical application. I will use it to keep loading on my tendons so I don't shock myself too much in the spring. If I keep pushing l in the winter once per week. I will prevent injuries if I try to do the Miami Ultra, since it happens during proper winter for where I live. This I'll likely just do on pathways, but when the paths are covered in snow I can go to a groomed ice track. And the ice really tests my balance. If need to be super precise so it can actually help me get prepped for early season riding.

[@zappyzane]

@@PaulKentSkates It's seasonally appropriate down in Emutopia and Kiwiland, although even in winter there's a general lack of ice to skate on. Fascinating anyway, chur!

[@tangohotellima1895]

Calgary is beautiful in winter!! Also, i gotta stop watching these Paul Kent videos...the last time i did, i ended up with a new Pantheon...🤬

[@PaulKentSkates]

I'm sorry! As for the winter here, The mountains nearby are world class. I'm very lucky to be so close to such a beautiful area.

[@yuanfengzang1370]

这个轮子珍贵

[@PaulKentSkates]

Yes, They are the nicest made wheels in the lineup. The core is way better than their other wheels. They are maybe a bit large for my needs though.

great video
