I was 323lbs when I got back into skating. Am 265lbs still. At 47 years old I still skate at a pretty high level. So I don’t think weight is that big of an obstacle. Carbon fiber decks are an absolute must for me. Regular wooden decks cannot survive flip tricks or high ollies under me. Powell Flight decks and Santa Cruz VX decks are both truly unbreakable. Well worth the money for any plus size skaters. Keep at it.

[@DunderHead.5000]

Razor tail. What about 8-ply's, resin and Impact decks?

[@wudupal]

What kind of trucks, wheels, bearings are you using? (just being nosey)

[@phatallbutt7879]

I have switched to 8 ply impacts. Because they have a more natural feel. They are significantly stronger, but I do break them on occasion. Where the Flight and VX have never broken

[@leehill4]

As a big guy wanting to skate you’ve helped me so far

[@joey_walder]

Hell yea that’s amazing!

[@scrappyhustler7467]

Joe from one big man to another u just gained yourself a new subscriber and u have renewed my faith in skating as a bigger guy at 6ft and 255lbs not muscle I get alot of looks I mean alot more than anyone should but I keep showing up after 5 months of riding at 38 I may not know what I'm doing but I'm trying please post more vids thanks Joe as well.

[@joey_walder]

Thanks! That means a lot more videos to come forsure!

[@SmokyTheChain]

Great line, I cheered for you when you got the rail! It's inspiring to me to see "intermediate" skaters instead of the virtuosos, because as a beginner it's easier for me to relate. Thanks for this video 🙂

[@Philthy_777]

Just read your Jenkem interview. You fucking shred! Love to see it. Can't wait to see what you do next 🤙

[@smilinkylen5621]

[@lunartigersora4690]

Dude I got here through your VX santa cruz break attempt video and I feel so inspired seeing this! I'm 5'11, 270ibs and disabled.. I can't go more than 1-2hrs cause of my spinal injury but I truly want to keep trying after seeing this, my weight makes me feel down and like I can't do nothing but seeing you shred like that makes me feel better

[@joey_walder]

Wow that’s amazing to hear yea my weight makes it tough but I try to just power threw and not give up ur words make me want to keep going as well

[@lunartigersora4690]

@@joey_walder I'm glad my words could help you as much as you inspire me man 🤝🏼 Things are tough when you're big but having a friend or someone your size to look to when your down is an amazing feeling.

[@Midnight.mycology]

This gives me motivation im a 270 lbs 30 year old guy and just bought another board after 10 years

[@joey_walder]

I'm happy to hear you got stoked from this! Hope you keep skating as long as you enjoy it!

[@chadking464]

Keep skatin bro!!! My uncle, he's 46, roughly 300lbs and still skates hard. Keep going!!!

[@joey_walder]

Will do❤️

[@user-ul8mc4qk3m]

Im 6'4 300+ I really like the zero decks but they come in 8 to 8.5 is that good to use? I also got a size 15 shoe if they means anything. Thank you. Btw, new to boarding at 39 and awesome job man.

[@TheCliptu]

Hell yeah bro, awesome. I’m a new skater worried about falling and I think I just need a better attitude, like you seem to have.

[@joey_walder]

You can do it!

[@DaytonJoey]

Joey rules!!!! I like his first name.

[@joey_walder]

I agree😭

[@mattDnelson]

holy men ride ventures

[@mikeegbert6584]

you ever try the anti hero 9.0? it has a 15" wb, you might dig it.

[@joey_walder]

Oh man, that's pretty wide. I still like to try and flip my board, so I want to keep the width at someone of a reasonable size.

[@layheyMC]

hey joey, just wondering what bushings do you use? i’m 270 and my bushings always pop out. love ya man keep shredding

[@joey_walder]

I use the stock bushings that come in the ventures

[@raaaaHr]

Have you got any experience with longboarding? I'm a bigger person and ik I'll probably be fine, especially since the nature of how you use a longboard is way less stressful on the deck, but I'd still like to know bc there aren't a lot of big people on boards in general online

[@silverlax1]

🙌🏼

[@Ayo_big_Rome]

I'm also a skater on the bigger side of things (350ish) however I skate a smaller size board(8.25) . I want to learn to board slide but as a bigger man we know its a complete uphill battle. how do you go about doing it? I would appreciate your insight on it. love what your doing and continue to kill it man

[@joey_walder]

I got you! will Film a video on it explaining

[@wuhsabi]

Dude you should look into the 8.8 Santa Cruz VX. much stronger and lighter. Probably be right up your alley. Keep riding bro.

[@joey_walder]

I did two videos on them already there good boards but I ended up breaking them

[@wuhsabi]

@@joey_walderohh i just saw your video on the vx, I should have checked first my bad, Im suprised about that considering they suppose to be stronger. Nice line btw, keep shredding my man. Im 36 and started skating last year, almost gave up until I watched your video. You really inspired me to keep going, thought i was to old.

[@joey_walder]

@@wuhsabi never to old keep going!!! ❤️

[@jbeemz5554]

do you run stock bushing with your trucks?

[@joey_walder]

Yes I do

[@franjessicalee4426]

plz tell me when you got everything! i’m new completely at this am im like 366lbs.

[@joey_walder]

Other than the trucks, I have a completely different set up now. Let me know if you'd like me to go over it in a vid!

[@franjessicalee4426]

@@joey_walderyes please! getting a board for my bday in july and would love the deets!

[@PhatBallzSkateboarding]

350+lb skater here and VENTURES bro…. I’m riding an 8.38 with Venture 5.6 hi’s. Also have another 8.38 setup with Indy 149’s and I can say without a doubt my ventures never fail me. I’ve had my ventures for 2 years and have barely blown out a bushing on my tail. Where my fuckin Indy’s are 3 weeks out the box and I’ve already blown out the stock orange, the black, and the yellow bushings. Indy just makes garbage bushings for big boys.

[@durinsbane88]

I Love You Walters 😘😇🤗

[@01teox10]

I wanna buy a 27 inch cruiser board but im 286lbs, do you guys think it would brake? :c

[@joey_walder]

No you should be good it should hold up

[@wampuscatcustoms7374]

What bushings?

[@joey_walder]

What ever bushings that comes with the ventures I don’t change them

[@mikehatts]

I was the 440th view 😳

[@sarnan5580]

I like your videos mennn.. I beginner 38 year😂,how to ollie?

[@joey_walder]

Can do that vid for ya!

[@BLVCKSEA]

Mather..you from sac?

[@joey_walder]

I'm there from time to time.

[@PierreGMR]

Do you ride tight trucks?

[@joey_walder]

Yes I do very tight

[@PierreGMR]

@@joey_walder yeah I’m 6,2 250 and I find myself kinda losing balance, can you still turn good with them at your tightness?

[@joshNFahey]

You’re definitely NOT 440 lbs brother, a guy at my church was 425 and he was twice the size of you, including being 6 feet tall. You’re a good skater though, I love all your videos. God Bless.

[@LenzoBucket]

I'm 250 and he is twice size of me

[@tonydwietwarze]

Would be great to see you loose weight and show others that skateboarding can help with that Too, like the amount of calories you can burn in a day skateboarding is Mad 💢... I'm to o lazy to train anything else to burn 5000kcal+ ;p
