How to save money on skating: *Buy things on sale* Who would’ve thought?...

[@sasproductions701]

buy things on sale? do u know why there on sale? because there shit and wear down quick and nobody likes the style of them. if it was a shoe that lasted it would be high price. its not rocket science. nike solarcheck cheap as fuck £35 wow! cheap-o suede canvas crap. compared to the good quality suede. i had the es swift which were like £70 or more, then couple weeks later the price dropped and i noticed the bottom of the shoe wore down quick with the way i walk putting heel down first. ive got nike sb dunk highs truck it and they have not worn down on the bottom like them fuckers did. i seen a guy yesterday with new vans that have proper rubber round the front, after skating new board the white rubber was wearing away.

[@memecer998]

SAS Productions some items go on sale bc they are just making a new colorway or design for that item soon for example I got the tyshawns for $50 when I was gonna pay around $90 for it last week and they are hella good vans are also just really bad in general I bought the vans Chima pro for full price and it didn’t even last a week it’s really just a hit or miss also just check the reviews b4 you buy

How to save money while skateboarding: 1) Deck - Buy the generic team deck. 2) Trucks - Buy from a reputable company, but don't buy the signature model. 3) Wheels - Don't buy the signature model, buy the generic one. 4) Bearings - buy from a reputable company, but don't buy their most expensive model. 5) Shoes - buy the cheapest shoe you can find. They all rip the same way.

I remember what I did to save money on shoes back in the 90's was an ollie pad. It was basically a piece of leather you would add to the shoe that would do all the kicking movements. The companies that sold these pads were pricey, but if you went to goodwill or somewhere you can get fabrics, you could just cut your own out and put it on the shoe. It made my shoes last a very long time.

if anyone goes through lots of shoes I recommend vans authentic pros I lost my pair but I was skating them for a couple months and no holes also they are very comfortable

[@PHeMoX]

I've skated Vans Sk8-Hi Pros and Vans 112 Pros and honestly was not at all impressed with the durability. Especially the Sk8-Hi Pro had major damage within three days. I'd recommend any of the Es cupsole shoes, like the Es Swift 1.5 or the Es Accel OGs. _Definitely_ amongst the most durable out there. Oh and Shoe Goo is a good idea for any shoe.

[@MrTaitanz]

Last pros I had lasted me like 3-4 weeks before completely shredding them and not just on the top, but the sole too hah But that's okay because they were COMFY as frickin frick

[@MrTaitanz]

@@PHeMoX yeah, everyone has their good lasting brand, for me that's DC, they do last long, while some think they are ugly, I love them, I've been using DC shoes since like 2007-8

[@PHeMoX]

@@MrTaitanz Well, it really is not a brand thing. I have already skated Emerica, Vans, Es, Decathlon Oxelo, Etnies shoes and probably will try out some more eventually. None of the Vans were durable. As in, at all, despite being Pros and meant for skating. In comparison the Emerica ones were better, but I'm not sure I liked skating them. Comfortable, but not very precise with skating. Etnies was fine, but didn't fit great. Es is super comfortable and a puffy shoe and I really do like that. Also, easily the most durable shoe I had so far. Ironically, the Decathlon Oxelo Crush 500 I had are amongst the most durable shoes I owned too, as less than $40. I will have to try DC sometime, but probably will get some Swift 1.5 Es shoes next. edit: Forgot I also tried Converse shoes, those were overall pretty similar to Vans, but I had canvas shoes and those just destroyed themselves way too quickly. The rubber-suede type ones probably last way longer, but haven't skated those yet. Oh and I did not like the insoles. Vans UltraCush HD is like a million times better, even when still not perfect.

[@MrTaitanz]

@@PHeMoX man I have to be honest, I've never had a pair of Emerica or Oxelo shoes so I couldn't tell. But that's a good experience since the first and last time I had some Es shoes was more than 10 years ago, as I've said I honestly been faithful to DC hah, a couple of Vans, Airwalk back in the day, Volcom, Nike sb, Adidas, I tried Supra once (never again they are real comfortable buy they suck for skating, first session in and they already had holes, I don't know if that's particular to the model tho), but yeah, DC has been good for me and I've grown used to them, you know, them bulky ass shoes

[@scooby45247]

UNLESS YOURE SPONSORED THIS IS MY GUIDE TO A BUDGET: DOs: buy from local skateshop cuz they are more likely to give you a deal buy blank skateboards making sure the nose and tail are as close to interchangeable as possible so you can switch when one gets worn buy shoes with rubber guards; as many guards as possible because shoes are going to get torn up and you want more there to stop that as much as possible (shoe goo use can replace that guard too) buy GOOD bearings because they dont last regardless; water, angry slamming, and use will kill them BUT keep them lubed (recommend lube made for small bearings) buy independent trucks until youre sponsored (can grind for eternity plus theyre heavy so they help to strengthen muscles thus height on other trucks); use other trucks @ competitions unless sponsored.. buy bigger wheels so they last ( i recommend spitfire classics); i personally love the dual design sides and shape which is important cuz you need to rotate the wheels every so often (inside becomes outside) buy generic grip tape because name brands are pricey and unneeded.. buy generic hardware because name brand is pricey and unneeded.. DONTs: dont pay for a skatepark membership; the world is your playground dont buy clothing.. only wear it if they pay you.. go to a goodwill.. dont listen to sponsors tell you what tricks you should do ( it cost me my knee and i can no longer skateboard ) hope this helps you and happy skating..

In terms of bearings: Dont under/overtight them. Bearings are made for a given preload that makes the bearing rotate smoothly. Also takethem out, clean them and regreasr them with a drop or two of oil (no, not salad oil).

Simple solution: thrifted board and throw in some bones reds. Managed to find some decent decks doing this. Another pro tip: fidget spinner bearings. I had a shit load of those after 2017 and I’d just throw those in when it came to getting bearings. So don’t throw those away as they can still be useful

[@Threeflip]

Tom Hoodie That's right, it's even better. I am wearing the Globe Empire for the third time. I did it for the first time. After that its always the same with the following shoes.

[@PHeMoX]

Yeah, there's no point in gluing the shoes when there's already a hole. Especially the harder shoe goo stuff or super glue trick will allow you to get a strong surface that can be skated pretty long before it is gone. It's cheaper to buy some new glue than buying new shoes, so be smart. Just add glue on day one. The nose, kickflip spot and ollie spot will wear most. Maybe add glue to the heelflip spot too. But ideally those spots should be pretty much the same for any shoe. Oh and maybe put some glue around the lowest lace holes, it'll prevent ripping laces early.

[@chrisu-_-]

Sometimes it's better to just replace your grip and skate the same board rather than buy a new one if its still in good shape.

[@gomugomunokienzan]

One of the best ways to save money would be purchasing a blank deck. Blank decks are usually $20-$30, much cheaper than decks that has graphics. Boards chip/snap eventually so I usually just use blank decks. For trucks I’d say stick to thunders or independents, usually they cost about $40-$50. Wheels it’s probably good to invest a little money for since cheap wheels get flat spots much sooner. Probably good to stick to bones STF usually they cost about $30. For bearings I’d say the most affordable ones with good quality would be bones reds ABEC7. Those bearings are $15, very cheap! And they’ll get the job done. For shoes it’s good to go to Ross and TJ maxx. I usually find a pair of Nike SB for $15-$20. Sometimes a pair of DCs for the same price too if I get lucky. Skate shoes rip over period of time anyways 🤷🏽‍♂️. If you wanna save though or not spend too much money you can’t be picky but I know that we have personal preference.

[@mykenzieforbes5125]

I just got my first deck(a death wish complete), soft wheels, and protective gear (helmet+Kneepads+wrist guard) for just over 110 dollars. The workers there truly engaged in conversation and asked about it. They found out I was new and my dad(who was with me) knew about sports like skating. They walked me through the process and what to look for in the future.

[@hecticbeatzz5628]

[@seanjones4726]

Speaking of saving your shoes, that rubber grip tape stuff is pretty tight. I can for sure tell the difference between sandpaper and the rubber compound, but it took about half an hour to get used to and after that it feels solid. I saw a bunch of skate youtubers saying it would only be good for kids, but its good for cheapskates too. Just don't step in a puddle or you're screwed.

For beginners, I recommend oxelo. It's a cheap brand with pretty decent stuff. On the last few years they've been improving the quality of their boards (they sell'em full like board trucks and all).

[@ayooo5646]

I have a good tip for your shoes. I skate my older vans and as i first tryed to do tricks i noticed that they got holes. I simply cut off a piece of an old belt and glued a stripe along on the right shoe so now as i skate the leather of the beld gets sanded down and as it is sanded down i just glue another layer on it and it is as good as new. If you do it right it won’t even look bad. My sole is not sanded down but you can also use a piece of an old bycicle wheel and glue it on it and can add another layer if its worn down.

[@ayooo5646]

If i want my shoes to look good i just carry my old vans in my backpack while travel with the bus and change them at the park.

Also, if u feel really mad, you can turn your board on the other side and then step on it,cuz if the griptape is facing you and u step on your board with a lot of force when you're mad you're gonna break it, and by turning it on the other side it prevents it from snapping

I highly recommend going to your local Marshall’s, Burlington’s, Ross, etc. It is very common to find discounted skate shoes.

[@mrkokoto6091]

love the vids. i subsrcribed and liked.

[@maxfb6169]

In France, baker boards are really expensive, they are 80€ without grip.

Skater: "my board is worth 150$" Me, a bmx rider: "hold my beer"

Every bmx rider is just a failed skateboarder

Just buy some shoes that are resistant to the grip tape. I wear vans when I skate but any shoe that is resistant is fine. Don’t spend lots of money on stuff, go to thrift stores or cheap stores.

1. Bearings If you need to replace one or two bearings, you dont need to buy one set of bearing. Just go to the hardware store or machinery shop and ask 608 size. Its more cheaper than buy a whole set. Clean the grease with oil remover 2. Shoes Use glue gun on ollie area. It might lil bit messy but more you skate, more smooth the area would be

[@XEN-ZOMBIE]

No idea who started the old lady lawn bowling shoe craze but I never stopped buying purpose built shoes for skating. Chunkier the better.

[@Incinite]

Damm didn’t realize that this video was uploaded an a hour ago lol

[@jonathanloos7973]

Why dont they make plastic sleeves for your trucks so you dont grind through them like with BMX pegs

[@jacoblong644]

The old heads did that years ago. I think the organic sounds of the coping on pools getting shredded is what made most people ditch em

[@reup4023]

They're called truck copers, and they're out there if you look. Skeleton Key is one...

[@nael_tm]

Selling parts from your old skateboard when you buy a new one is a great idea. Mine was run over by a bus, but one of the hangers, the wheels and the bearings survived lol.

For shoes I definitely recommend checking your local Ross or Burlington. Last week I found some legit Vans Hi Tops for $35 when they normally retail for $70+. First time I’ve ever found vans there but now I’ll always take a look every once in a while from now on

[@thearianmandalorian]

dude trust me, prices have indeed come down since the 90s! and not just a little bit, and way more products now then ever before. Tons of options out there!

[@brandonskatesalot3296]

yeah that’s cool but where’s yours skating? i see all these things about skating but i don’t see you

[@rusky_nail4423]

steal the boards and shoes at skatepark so 0 dollars for everthing

[@zacdillon4311]

Kustom shoes are the best for comfort, looks, quality and value. Been skating with them and using them pretty much exclusively in my day to day for years

[@sevanity9210]

I highly recommend buying from the German brand "Titus" they are focused on being slightly cheaper but still being able to keep up with the high end stuff. Been using *The 5.25 Hollow Trucks* 24,99€ - 29,99€ and *The Classic Wheels* (101A) 19,99€ for over a year now still haven't met good old flatspots yet.

[@PHeMoX]

Excellent video. On the subject of skateboards people should look into the ones that 'can't break'. Like the Powell Peralta Flight decks or the Santa Cruz VX. They are worth trying and _absolutely_ last way longer, without a real downside to it. I've been skating the same Powell Peralta Flight deck for months and it'll likely last a full year with ease. It will razor tail eventually, but with the carbon fiber in it, the board doesn't lose pop. As for bearings, people should just get the $10 Mini Logo or the $20 Bones China Reds (both are actually the same). They are easily good enough for a beginner to intermediate skater. Big ball bearings, ceramic bearings and so on are pointless upgrades, especially when you ride street, sandy roads or wet roads. And unless you're riding a longboard and skate for miles, you're really just not going to need a skateboard to roll endlessly on a single push.

[@randomgen933]

Your videos are very good

[@chilled9905]

I like pvc cement for my shoes, its lasts a long time, doesn't look the best and needs multiple coats but its almost unbreakable.

[@massimorago5909]

Highly recommend putting shoe goo on the ollie and kickflip spots, it helps prevent wear and holes

[@markshieldsmusic7697]

My vans used to rip on the sole before anything else. I'm a big fan of emerica these days, if you can find some, the 2013 herman g6s are the best shoe I've ever skated.

[@johnm3946]

I've found beat up completes at Goodwill or play it again sports, the trucks and sometimes the wheels are salvageable. Litely skated shoes at Goodwill too if you're lucky to find some.

[@gabrielklinefelter1444]

Seeing the bowling ball hit the brick and not break it was pretty cool

[@jonathantomas9754]

You could go to Ross and sometimes they'll have skate shoes for pretty cheap. Also trick tape works pretty good, its a suede patch the u stick on your shoe and works good.
