What future videos would you like to see?

[@Skaterlocke1]

any

[@Alixstair]

Love the illegal skatepark playlist, and the 'How to' videos - all superb!

[@VICTOR947017]

Try out a pennyboard 22 inch in your Backyard miniamp just for fun, and go back to the 70 tees. BUT NO DROPIN! Just backside and frontside turns. where it all started with the Dogtown boys. Jay, Tony, Stacy. It all came from the surfers. I believe you are moore style surfer, than a steetskater. But whatever is fun is the element to use.

lurpiv review would be nice

[@user-uu5of8rd1n]

Hey Zach! Love the DIY sessions. Building or skating it

[@7plyTherapy]

Hot take, but I think another reason for feeling burnout in “skating”, is not even skating itself, it’s life, and we subconsciously blame and neglect skating, believing that it won’t help with how we feel, despite it being amazing for our physical and mental health.

[@ZackDowdy]

Definitely a balance!

[@olbuddydownthere]

I love skating and never get to skate enough. It helps me. It cures me man. when I get to skate after a month. I feel the healing.

[@evanstevens2742]

That nose grind to grab in is dope. I am going to try to learn that.

[@kimrice394]

You got rocked! You bounced back! Just make content whenever you feel it. Most are here just to hang with you.

[@hazeffs]

i really enjoy your skating, its really different from mine. you even hyped me up pick up my board from a 5 year hiatus. 37 now and starting to get the groove back :) keep up the work!

[@spencernuzzi]

Also I love how u skating those shoes finally!

[@Not-Even-Close-666]

Good to have you back 🙌🏽

[@spencernuzzi]

Pepper 🌶️ boyz

[@ZackDowdy]

Can't go back!

[@Spectactical1]

I'm in the process of planning a skateboard company that sells equipment, ramps, and teaches lesson's. To promote the sport, and benefit local small communities. 🎉

[@anggitamna]

What rails are you using, sir? Looks pretty slim..

[@comical3303]

So is concrete better than wood for a mini ramp

[@felixdrucker]

top video as always. Whats your top5 fav skaters? would love a video about that and maybs on the connection between surfing and skateboarding. Best from Sweden

[@Scharfster]

what's wrong with jessup? been using it almost 20 years. i've tried mob, it's grippy yeah, but it tears the hell outta my shoes and hands, I like to do boneless and grab tricks a lot and mob rips the hell outta my thumbs

[@ZackDowdy]

Used to love it, now I like Pepper. Mob is definitely too gritty

[@Scharfster]

@@ZackDowdy i'd try pepper but jessup is just so easily accessible, no skate shops here in ottawa have any :/

[@solewiz5162]

Looking solid

[@arikuusela6716]

5:40 Some tricks you just need a "ahaa" moment. I've watched every 360 flip tutorial and I just can't land them. It just doesn't click with me. I have alot of different things I have to remember before fs flip, but the most important for me is that my body has to be almost 90 degrees before I even pop. After that I kick sideways and at the end I redirect it a bit downwards so the nose dives a bit. I have a sketchy one I did in a bank in my videos, don't know if these helped or harmed your process 😁

[@RikRiorik]

14.125” wheel base eh? Shorting it! Can’t really skate those short wheel bases myself. 14.25” is the lowest I feel I can go with any sort of comfort. Been looking at the Last Resort x Spitfires since forever. Ace collab! Love your vids as always!

[@witchdoctorteepo]

Dude I just got the spitfire 101 conical fulls and they are perfect!@#! I love the dragons for rough ground but these spitfires are deff my goto now. Had to take a while off too. Man, skating at 35/36 is no joke haha.

[@ZackDowdy]

Such a good wheel!

[@witchdoctorteepo]

@@ZackDowdy For sure!

[@SchwappSchwopp]

0:06 I'm pretty sure that it's a 14.5" wheelbase 🙂

[@ItsMe-vg4vj]

Just what I need from skaters upload. Skating.

[@lemunz]

Usually people don't think about their socks but I bet that's where your issue is with the canvas vs suade shoes. Try some moisture wicking ones and I bet you won't have that issue anymore.

[@ZackDowdy]

I need to try those!

[@7plyTherapy]

Thanks!

[@ZackDowdy]

I appreciate your support, much love! 🙏

[@7plyTherapy]

@@ZackDowdy of course, just wanted to show some love today to some of my favorite skaters on KZbin.

[@burneraccount9829]

lol jessup is the best 😏

[@olbuddydownthere]

Also you were ripping on this sesh brother

[@mudtoetx1595]

I miss masonite and steel. They ought to throw some paint around those lips, that stuff is supposed to be slidy-er.

[@Aminormaze]

Sk8ings fine

[@zachhendrix01]

napoleon dynamite music

[@seanelovesjiujitsu]

But I love the board set up videos lol

[@ZackDowdy]

I’ll probably make some when the board is much different, I have a few sitting around I might experiment with.

[@jordanbeebe5581]

Mash 🛹

[@CedricSchoene]

you should try to practice zazen. I gained a completely different perspective on life. Really helped my skating and overall health.

[@ZackDowdy]

Checking that out!

[@CedricSchoene]

@@ZackDowdy Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryū Suzuki is a good place to start

[@VICTOR947017]

Very basic rutin in kyokushinkai karate, it's like to come home to yourshelf intimity, get centerd, focuced and calm, the breathing is very important 30% outlet 70% inlett air, let the energi ki flow, to sit right is the key and empty your mind for ki. This is not to do nothing it's sometimetimes hard to do if not use to let it go. Michael N Sweden

[@jimmyhuang8730]

Slappy trucks > Aces and Lupiv

[@ZackDowdy]

Yet to try Slappy, have you tried Lurpiv?
