Reviewing Chris Roberts's Two Setups

A conversation and session on Chris Roberts's two setups.

[@dadboard]

“We’re not using riser pads, we’re not in the past” *rides a 7.75 😂

[@kl5818]

👍😄

[@davidarcher610]

Love it.

[@thatfuckingivan6372]

Shout out to Real for the deck-wood riser pads. I feel like the nano-tubes in the wooden risers are more forgiving than plastic, more durable than rubber.

[@khmerboredom4]

7.75 to 8.1 is great haha idk how the new gen are riding huge boards. They are so much harder to flip and pop

[@mattmakescovers]

@@khmerboredom4 I think the reason why people prefer wider boards nowadays is because its easier to adjust the amount of pop and flip you get. With more narrow boards its pretty damn fast no matter how slowly you flick or gently you pop.

[@chrisroberts]

Thanks Ben for roasting my boards! 😂❤️

[@bendegros]

My pleasure Chris. I look forward to seeing what you settle into for your more permanent setup and I hope you manage to evade any madness

[@grampsskateboarding4814]

More of this guys, its s winner

[@hellsebsixsicksix]

Chris, please replace the 7.75" deck by the BLIND GAVIN DOG PUND SLICK 1993 REISSUE 8.125" deck and keep your indies and 50mm wheels... Replace hardware too 😅. You will trippin' on it 😊🎉 !!! Peace

[@jaytheboatguy]

It's so dope knowing you guys are a comment away... 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻

[@FuckOnYouTube]

Narrow ass trucks

[@TheRealBeachBum]

Props to nine club for listening to the people that requested/voted for Ben on the show ❤🎉 good stuff guys. Good video dude

[@josiahamaze]

That’s the strongest asset.

[@6to8john]

@@josiahamaze I think if Ben lived in the area of the nine club, he would be a rad asset to the show, talking and breaking down guests set ups. You’re a rad human Ben, keep doing what you do!!!🙌

[@TheRealBeachBum]

@@6to8john fr ☝️👍🏼

[@Uglier.]

the awkward sarcastic dry humor is hilarious😂

[@wesharding2469]

Ben and Chris have such a uniquely entertaining chemistry! Funny, interesting, no noticable 'filler' chat, and very candid conversation. It would be really cool seeing more Crob collabs!

[@gabanlange9793]

Crob collab on Ben's carpentry channel would be fun to watch 😁

[@ajayasiver3944]

I see these 2 doing more together

[@codey1391]

Ben is the next nine club member

[@sundragon2419]

So amazing this dynamic duo manifested in the physical plane. The banter is GOLD.

[@darude]

“I think there’s a 4 in there for sure…” 😂😂😂

[@abebethel]

Thanks for the shout out!! 🙌🙌 Love seeing you guys skating curbs!! ❤❤

[@bendegros]

I mean, if we’re going to talk curbs you come to mind pretty quick :)

[@blaiseanddestroy]

Thanks to Ben and Crob for being awesome dudes who make great youtube skate content

[@cortkynard9742]

This is what prime old man skateboarding is all about right here folks

[@theslamcityjameffect]

new video unlocked: Roasting pro's set ups with Ben! I'm here for it benny boy

[@dirtbagzrus]

Ben and Chrobs are such a good team. Do more together my dudes

[@emiledinger2963]

This was great!! You two have natural chemistry together. People want the Crob and Degros show!

[@fuckmyego]

last time i was this early my gf was big mad. Also, twintails forever.

[@recklesstoboggan]

Welllllll, we're back! Ehhh. We're back with The Ben Club. Today we have a special, spécial, speeessszzhial, guest...Crob.

[@ibookboyuk]

Thank you both. I really enjoyed watching this video. You’re both legends in your own right and it’s great to see a video with you two.

[@SatelliteSoundLab]

All industries want consumers to buy as much as possible. The more confused we are, the more stuff we have to buy to figure out what actually makes us happy. Content like this helps average people avoid being abused by the tyranny of capital, even just that little bit, and get more enjoyment out of what we love. Skateboarding. Thanks, dudes.

[@skateboardkeras85]

Chris should bring out some symmetrical nine club griptape. Maybe have that as an option for when you order his board off the website.

[@imfromcolorado]

Chris’ mall grab poses had me dyin😂

[@ChazLikesSharpObjects]

Im 41 and this video made my day seeing 2 dudes i respect (that are around my age) having fun.. Im teaching my 4 yr old how to skate now and your videos are super helpful.. Good to see some content although i do watch your other channel too.. I remodel homes as well… Thanks Ben ( and CR if you read it) That was awesome!!

[@jordanschaub8059]

Damn this was actually sick watching them hang out, what a great duo 😂

[@WilliamGeorgeBrowne]

Loved your chemistry together, this was a lot of fun to watch!

[@coverton]

So glad you are still putting out some content and didn't step away completely. Really liking the feel of these videos since the "goodbye" video also. Take care, Ben.

[@taylorolsen718]

Ben! Please do another episode where you go to a shop with Chris, put together the ideal hybrid board, and then go skate it!

[@highaltitude02]

You're curb board is my regular board. Thanks Crailtap for making an 8.5 twin tip with a shorter wheelbase. Jordan Trahan model.😊

[@HESHkitties69]

I missed you nerding out and going in depth with set ups, thanks for this Ben!

[@justinkramer5267]

As someone who has only been skating a few years, I find switching components of my setup is helpful when trying to learn a new type of trick. Helps emphasize the concept/feel of the trick. Once I get it dialed, I'll usually go back to my daily driver and be able to land it much easier than having banged my head against the wall for weeks. Great vid, fellas!

[@ThomasBerry]

These guys have chemistry.

[@cesarmoore7996]

Thanks for your hard work Ben!

[@DTC1138]

We need a series called "Ben roasts other people's setups... then shreds them."

[@SDPTheGhost]

You guys are definitely like the cool dads and uncles everyone wants to be like when they grow up! Thanks for always putting out dope content Ben! Loved this one 🔥

[@kekke8685]

Such a legendary duo man, this video was amazing

[@BambiDebbieWoods]

thunder bushings on Indys looks wild lol

[@galvanizedgnome]

I've been watching plaster videos just to get my Daddy Ben fix.

[@smeegain3657]

Yeah was really looking forward to this! Always love hearing your voice, Ben!

[@Johanthegnarler]

Love this video so much. Its so underrated getting just regular fun footage of y'all having fun. No need for some huge production. Super happy to see crob skate some

[@simoncejas]

1 inch hardware worked best for me, especially when I was street skating around town a lot. The little bit of extra thread on the 1 in bolts seemed to keep a better hold and stay tighter longer. 7/8 hardware would always get loose more often (from skating rough terrain), and I've lost a lot of nuts because of that. So it was always 1 inch hardware for the win. 👍🏻

[@derekmccray9332]

Ah, man, for a second there, I thought we were headed for a classic awkward outro, and then Chris's one-liner made us all laugh our asses off!! Awesome 😂

[@leoh.fb1]

best video of 2024, so goood lmao.

[@diegorobles6628]

BEN!!!! You missed a big chance to introduce C-Rob with "today we've got a special... special... SPECIAL guest" 😂

[@endeavortv]

What a treat! Cheers to the both of ya!

[@worminator15]

Yes! Great collab and hope to see more of that LA footage!

[@marokokisetter]

It’s a pleasure watching you skate the curbs, there’s this timeless style rooted in the ‘90s - cheers

[@ulukalakar]

You guys are so funny together. So nice to watch! ❤

[@duder596]

I feel like I'm witnessing skateboard you tube history here.

[@pierreandreassen287]

That was great! That spot looks super fun! I been riding the 8.5 true fit mold DLX decks with the 13,75 wheelbase. I thought it would be way to small so I switched from indys to Thunder 149s to even it out a bit. Its the perfect setup for me. Wide and stable but feels light and snappy!

[@gabanlange9793]

Would love to get my hand on the truefit mold.. Hard to get it here in southeast asia..

[@CarltonSeven]

Great guys, love the episode

[@coreyr7701]

Yes. Please stick around Ben. Love your work.

[@adrive4343]

Great vid. Loved it. That JB SW 180 FS flip & 180 manny to sw 180 out was perfect. Thanks for this.

[@MrKlausKinsky]

Wow! So cool, an episode for the history books! Love the collab❤

[@alanalso]

Glad you did this. It’s icing on the cake after the Nine Club episode.

[@DTC1138]

Haha this is amazing. Happy New Year, Ben and Chris!

[@bonksmusic1]

I love Chris’ banter 😂 both characters are so relatable

[@PaulNirvana]

this must've been such a chill session. it was a pleasure!

[@maga_skater4207]

I laughed and smiled throughout this vid 😂.. you guys had good camera chemistry with informative views and good banter

[@gallowsend]

13:20 i thought that was the bro pulling up to help roast CRobs setup haha.

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

This is what we needed. My best skating was on the 8.25 Crob Twin. My worst skating was on the 8.5 Crob Twin 😂. Crazy because the only difference in the measurements is the width. I skated ventures on the 8.25 and Tensor Mags on the 8.5 maybe that was it. 🧐

[@TRAVIESO_NA]

tensors crumble when my fat ass rides them, your lucky.

[@harrygadd5125]

What ventures my dude?

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

@@harrygadd5125 they were the 5.6 Ventures. They were a great fit on the 8.25 twin.

[@harrygadd5125]

@@AdventuresInSkateboarding Thanks bud! I'm getting on that as soon as the moolah comes in.

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

@@harrygadd5125 right on, let me know how it works for you.

[@stompz__]

ben you should be a part of the nine club man

[@paulepling]

I totally wanted a Roberts twin paddle 😂, but ever since I tried the 14.25 wheelbase on a board, I've went bigger even. 8.5 too, and at or a bit longer than 32" is my fav right now. Been wanting to see this video, since you mentioned it from the previous vid, the one you were talking about the contrast of the smooth slappy and rough ground. I can't wait to really put more skating down on the 8.5 when the snow clears

[@diplenski]

i don't mind a little hardware thread showing. 1", 1 1/8", 1 1/4", i like cast plates and sometimes ride risers. whenever they are flush with the nuts i feel like they'll come loose, even though it's never happened(with indy bolts anyway)

[@timritzel5166]

Chris is way happier when he’s not around Kelly😂😂 #welovekelly

[@fernandoreyes680]

You just improved my Monday evening like 200%

[@cornation515]

Ben is a true professional without have “going pro” class, professional and most importantly having fun!

[@jfpose]

This is just pure joy.

[@RikRiorik]

Absolutely good stuff.

[@thefuneralpxrty]

“I think it’s 40” “There’s a four in there somewhere” “14”

[@gabriellaforce2041]

Chris Robert 7.75, 50 mm SF! 🙌🏻 It’s almost my setup! 🥰 And you killing it on this setup Ben! Good connection between you! We whant more! Haha!

[@karlalden2076]

It's just good to see you buddy, thanks for dropping in on us again!

[@billybob6845]

These set-ups vids are ihe best thing to watch for us granpas !

[@852aaron]

dude im loving some of that follow footage, getting right in there

[@johndoeyedoe]

"Go ahead Ben, what else is wrong with my setup?" Comedy gold. 😂 Love the bants lads.

[@dalan158]

Loved this video, man.

[@mikaellofgren7]

This is so good! Thank you.

[@joshgotter4922]

Love seeing the subsect sticker on your setup Chris!! Iowa loves you bro

[@marshalljohn1175]

Thank you for continuing to put out sk8 content! 🙏

[@kryptichands968]

Ben your slappy crook on the 8.5 was butter ! Great episode

[@andrewmartin9440]

This is so cool! I have learned so much you from your carpentry videos. Especially mudding. I had no idea you were a skater too! I grew up skating. I saw your interview on nine club, and was like WHAT… I know that voice

[@willlazenby1050]

Dude you and Chris could have a sick side podcast rating and roasting setups. Great episode, would love to see you do more content with Crob!

[@stevensonenator]

That was amazing ❤

[@thatoneguy2057]

I'm definitely one of the weirdos with too many set ups that loves the technical jargon. It's fun to see what other skaters skate and why. This was super fun to watch.

[@svnbit8408]

Remember Santa Cruz shock block riser pads? What was the shallow trapezoid riser pad that spread out weight/energy on outside surface area around truck? Dame thing? OG impact technology.

[@sessionclips1219]

Love it Ben

[@turnert2005]

Love it, those curbs were awesome!

[@DDRaph]

So fucking sick that theres no filmer just crob and ben. Great chemistry.

[@ajayasiver3944]

that switch frontside was sick

[@jaytheboatguy]

"This Ben he's famous on youtube man"... Ben's wearing an Anti Hero shirt...🤣🤣 They wont get it...

[@insanogeddon]

Great combo. Would recommend board with a slick coating so can do away with rails for a one and done

[@liam_dawson]

incredible banter. great video

[@bendegros]

Thanks Liam🙂

[@thickenstein]

Yes! Great episode. Seeing you guys together is tits.

[@_gw33do_]

One of my favorite setups was that twin deck in 8.25, thunder team 148’s and 52mm wheels

[@mikaelflyer6482]

I love this bromance ! great content Ben.

[@dneck]

cool session

[@IliKeCAkEeverMrCake]

i love the super tech videos, my fav is the one you did with shmitty. iv been putting grip tape under my trucks ever sense

[@stephenbasu1548]

Hahaha loving your acknowledgement on the absurdity of KZbin culture. We are on the same page when “don’t go full KZbin “ is reference to Tropical Thunder ? Skateboarding ma ma ma makes me happppppppyyy😂

[@6to8john]

Ben I think you and Chris got video chemistry. Loved this video!!! Thank you!!!

[@dizzychizzy1]

Ben skating around like a teenager… respect man. 🤙

[@H0tDawgWater911]

What a treat of a video

[@Patrick_Andrews917]

Honestly just loved this video. Also might have to try out these Chocolate boards that Chris has in the video. They both look super fun to skate on! All of the specs on them sounds exactly like what I've been searching for in a skateboard deck!

[@jeffli480]

“Can we agree?” “Nope.” 😂😂😂

[@Tobes77]

Glad I watched this. I’ve been debating on a second set up for slappys. I still can’t get them and feel I’d benefit off a bigger board and bigger trucks
