[@bureikou5129]

I know this video was a long time ago but I was wondering if I should get a pre-assembled skateboard at zumiez instead of buying the parts separately and doing it myself. However, I’m scared because some people said the employees assembled their skateboards wrong- Can you give me advice?

[@Keegan_Co]

If I were you I would build your own or have the employee build it for you..its much for fun and the quality is going to last you much longer and make you happier...granted you can still do the same stuff with a prebuilt but that creative aspect you get when building your board is much more satisfying to me....if you have an employee build your board make sure you talk with someone knowledgeable in skate! For my store I hire a few local skaters who have experience so we carry that local skate shop vibe and really sell the best products we can! Not every zumiez is this way so I understand the concern but to be safe just ask the employee just to make sure :) I hope that helps! And it doesn't matter how old a video is I try my best to reply to any comments I may get!

[@Keegan_Co]

@UC_B_mn7BpvfYDw5pztPid-w you can yeah I just like the quality assurance of watching the employee build it in person but more than likely someone experienced in skate will be building your board so you should be good! I hope you get everything you want!

[@Keegan_Co]

Honestly for just the deck you can pretty much go with whatever you want! Skating is all personal preference and what I used to do back in the day was buy blank skateboards for like 10-20 dollars on Ebay and then get tensor trucks, bones STF wheels, reds bearings or swiss, grizzly grip, and basic hardware! If you see a deck you like online you're more than welcome to message me about it on instagram and I'll help you research it :)

Can you do a video on how to loosen up wheels to make them go faster I just got a board made at zumiez 3 days ago it's a toy machine deck 8.0 with bones bearings and bones 53mm big head wheels it's just when I do the spin test I saw when u sinned yours it went way faster and didn't stop I want my wheels to go fast like that aswell

[@Keegan_Co]

Yeah I can for sure do a quick video on that! I have really good bearings so thats partially why mine spin the way they do..but just create a little wiggle room and you should be good! Doing too much or too tight can damage the bearings

[@jf7215]

One question, do you get to pick out a grip tape because I know there's different kinds but I don't know if they'll do it for you. However if you are building it, it should be available to choose right?

Yeah you can for sure get a prebuilt! If you're able to you might get better wheels or bearings just so it rolls better/faster but you dont need to it's just nice! And for brands I would just pick whatever design you like!

How much will the whole thing cost? Like getting the deck the wheels and other stuff together

[@Keegan_Co]

It ranges in price but you can build a basic complete at about $99-$120 or you can upgrade and get better wheels and bearings for about $120-$160 just depends on what you get!

[@sunflowertrash]

what size hardware do you need for an 8 deck without risers? i have 1 inch for my first setup since it was recommended but it feels really loose on the trucks

[@Keegan_Co]

1in is perfectly fine without risers. its a common issue for almost all hardware to come loose over time. the only ones that I have found that dont do that are the hammer in hardware that i use but they can pressure crack your board a bit...I am currently working on designing my own and trying to produce them! mine will not need a hammer and shouldn't cause pressure cracks!

When assembling your board at zumiez, do you need to bring your own hardware? Also, how do you know where to put the screws?

[@Keegan_Co]

You can bring your own hardware or buy some if you dont have any..its like 2-3 bucks and when you grip your board you're going to flip the deck over and put your hardware through the already drilled out holes in the deck so you can put a hole in the grip tape

[@yeehawdelapuente2846]

I know this video is old but can anyone give me advice on what truck size to get with 8.0 board?

[@Keegan_Co]

Depends on what brand you want to go with! Tensor 5.0, thunder 145 and independent 139s all fit I'm pretty sure but if you're unsure you can google them and itll tell you!

[@palmasalinas7775]

Are you from the zumiez in state street? Bc I’m getting one really soon

[@Keegan_Co]

I'm located in Texas 2 hours away from dfw :/

[@danielbarajas8909]

What company makes the hardware you use

[@Keegan_Co]

I'm not sure what company makes them but you can google them I think its randoms skate hardware or something

[@tommartin1223]

Where can you get a bearing press

[@Skate3irl]

what are those wheels? like size and duro.

[@Keegan_Co]

54mm and I want to say like 99a-101a theyre bones stf wheels

[@ariannadiaz8064]

Idk if ur responding to comments anymore but I’m trying to build a skateboard online and I’m so confused I don’t wanna buy the wrong things for the skateboard. What do I do lol?

[@Keegan_Co]

I still do yes! For quicker responses you may message me on Instagram! But what are your questions and what are you trying to get?

[@ariannadiaz8064]

KeeganCo I’m trying to get the pink and gold baker board but it only comes with the deck so I need to buy the rest of the things. I just don’t know like what the right trucks, bearings and hardware would be right for it

[@Keegan_Co]

@@ariannadiaz8064 okay so that one is a 8.5 I believe and for your trucks the ones that would fit that would be... independent 149s..or thunder 151.. and I would pick whatever color you like or that you think would look good! Trucks really dont matter just as long as they fit your board

[@Keegan_Co]

@@ariannadiaz8064 also you can run 149 thunders if you cant find 151

[@ariannadiaz8064]

KeeganCo thank u!

[@gurjobandhillon4937]

Is your store in Abbotsford BC Canada

[@Keegan_Co]

It is not but I wish it was that would be so cool!

[@lakaisk8er96]

bang the hardware through with the bottom of the trucks

[@ketchupidk8193]

Great job :) love your vids

[@Keegan_Co]

Thank you!

[@arisrap2951]

If I have a 8.0 deck what trucks do I use?

[@Keegan_Co]

Depends on the brand...thunders I think 145s fit 8.0 and for independent its 139s and then tensor trucks is like 5.0 or something...every brand has their own size chart

[@randyyygonzalez]

How much would all that cost you?

[@leepipesmilona9449]

Okay if I ever buy a skateboard, I want you to set it up ❤ please?

[@Keegan_Co]

That would be awesome for sure I'd be down!

[@a_normal_person3087]

Notice how Zumiez has complete boards, are you aloud to grab one and then pay for it?

[@toiletseat2893]

A_normal_ Person yeah they sell completes

[@zake9027]

Yea people buy pre built completes all the time

[@nocontextmemes2617]

Im 13 turning 14 in january and im thinking about getting a board from zumiez. I was thinking about a primitive board or a santa cruz board or whichever design catches my eye. But would Primitive be a good starter board Im like 5-6 or 5-4 and I want to get a size 8 board, But my main question is should i get a Santa cruz board or a primitive? Also love your vids and if you actually reply thanks so much!

[@nocontextmemes2617]

My price range is about 100-110 dollars and Im not sure how much everything costs in person. So I was thinking about getting a complete for my first.

[@Keegan_Co]

@@nocontextmemes2617 if youre going with a pre-built complete you can't go wrong with either one! As for building your own I just made a video not too long ago about building the cheapest board at zumiez so you may check that out! I personally prefer primitive decks when building my own! I really enjoyed my last primitive and trying to find another one I like so I can skate it again also size 8.0 I think is a perfect size! I hope that answers your questions and I hope you get something awesome for your birthday!

[@breaddd9440]

Is it an extra charge when a employee helps you build your board? How much?

[@Keegan_Co]

Nope not at all! It is free!

[@davidleeashkenazi8992]

Random's hardware help pressure cracks

[@Keegan_Co]

Helps give you pressure cracks? Or helps with pressure cracks? Either way I never really have a problem with pressure cracks from them it's all from the normal wear and tear of the board from my experience

[@kylarburgin6215]

Is Primitive a good brand?

[@Keegan_Co]

It is I like them a lot!

[@idroppin1728]

What trucks r those

[@Keegan_Co]

Tensor magnesium

[@Omar-so4eg]

I don’t know what trucks to get

[@Keegan_Co]

Get whatever you like! There's several colors to choose from and brands really dont matter that much just make sure it fits the board! I usually go with tensor, thunder, or independent...tensors will be the highest and independents will be the heavier ones...I have a blind fold challenge video that shows how much you'll notice the weight so I reccomend checking out that video too!😁

[@derrickkirk7565]

What’s the name of the hardware you use

[@Keegan_Co]

Hammer in hardware I think you may be able to get them from randoms skate hardware or something like that
