Skating tips for URBAN AREAS

[@herpenderper]

Another helpful tip for me was approaching things like bumps, small curbs and rail tracks diagonally instead of head on. That way it's much harder for both of your wheels to get blocked at the same time.

[@OgdenSikel]

thats a good tip! It may only work in specific scenarios though, because narrower areas could prove difficult. nonetheless, for wider paths, this is definitely true!

[@brownswarm]

A good tip that I feel goes unnoticed, even though it’s told all the time: bend you knees

[@DrJoeStalin]

That knee bend actually gelps you balance properly and even ensures your balance if your skateboard stops abruptly.

[@itsmeyourluck7302]

every beginner i see doesn’t know this. its so useful

[@hugoingelhammar6163]

You forgot a big one. When possible, attach cracks and crevices diagonally instead of straight on. Makes the riding much smoother

[@MyrtleBeachWebAngel]

He left that one for you 💝 Thank you. I learn in the comments too. Mit

[@timjacobs9543]

Another thing I found out for getting over these giant cracks or bumpers: When you push, think about it as actually walking. Just place your push foot down near the bumper and lean your body weight on your push foot (80-100%) to reduce the downward pressure on your skateboard. It lets you just push your board over the bumper und lets you ride over it as if it wasn't there.

Love how your videos are always super down to earth even though you're clearly very professional :) Would love some more tips on sharp turns using cruiser boards, I find that it's harder to comfortably shift balance to the tail (in comparison to regular skateboards)

[@OgdenSikel]

Thank you! Vid may come soon to help with that :)

[@chamomile6299]

I love that most of your tutorials include cruiser boards! Thank you

Extremely useful video. The demoing of the tricks before doing them is awesome.

Thank you so much for this video! Especially the section on how to get over cracks!! Approaching them at an angle is also good but LIFTING OFF WEIGHT - damn, never thought about that!!!

Thanks a lot man, I absolutely love these street cruisers, they're a mix of a longboard and a popsicle, perfect balance for chill cruising around the city.

[@sahejv552]

just started at the U of M and this was so helpful for getting around campus, esp the bit about getting over cracks :))

[@mpuffeng]

I'm from this campus, I was a gopher! I recognized everywhere you skate, which is pretty cool. Those light rail tracks are pretty rough- I was trying to pop my wheels on them once. I have big wheels but I flew forward and got a giant vertical cut across my face, exactly where you were filming too!

[@SonGoku31213]

Thanks for uploading! Was helpful👍Is harder to get around in a city that doesnt care about its infrastructure 😅😂 I also got a cruiser and find that it helps to just lift the front wheels when goin over cracks etc. (or lift one's weight like u did). Keep it up buddy! 🛹

[@bunnybuns6342]

I think your chillen you should only really be worried about this with skateboards from my experience longboards are much easier to get over stuff with

[@michaelmelter2271]

Good video. I got the Dinghy Turbo Flight and the Plow King wheels make all of the cracks way easier to deal with and they are fast! I came from a Penny Nickle board and that would get stuck on many of the same cracks my Dinghy goes over with no problem. I'm down in Rochester, MN.

[@OgdenSikel]

Yeah man, the turbo flight is awesome! and you're in rochester??? thats where Im from! Currently in minneapolis but I'll be in roch over winter break and likely the summer too :)

[@notyourdad2089]

can vouch for those plow kings, those suckers make it so easy to go over grates, train tracks, and other scary looking obstacles. Those kings can plow

[@felipexrmz]

bro absolutely love the vibes in this video, hope you're doing good! thanks for the tips

[@gglcts]

Hey man awesome tips thank you

[@heidji]

I sometimes also instead of hopping I raise the nose a bit to get over the obstacle and then put all my weight on the front truck so that the back truck can snap over the crack or edge

[@viajeroeneltiempo8226]

Great video dude, Can you talk about the powerslide.

[@jacobfralin5482]

I broke my arm skateboarding down a pussy ass hill.... Hurt my pride!! I'm pushing through skateboarding as much as I possibly can. People don't understand how hard skateboarding can be.

[@roseflows6585]

Maybe its because im an esk8r but that bump at 1:55 is relatively. Instead of a mini hop, do more of a mini ollie. Press your back foot down to lift the front of your board and flick the back of it up after it comes over the bump. Way smoother.

[@vangrijaa]

When it comes to rails in the ground I just hop into a very light Ollie and my board follows without any hiccup

i fell from running off with too much forward momentum because there was a person on their phkne standing on the sidewalk and i paniced even though i probably should've just yelled for them to watch out ¯\(ツ)/¯ (they were in the centre of the fairly narrow sidewalk

[@theodour8617]

Do I want to know how to skate my skateboard in the city? The question is a bit complicated and I want to answer this question. I'm pretty sure that the answer is yes, but I think there are two basic requirements. First of all, I would love to skate my skateboard in a city where there isn't a skateboard or skateboardpark near you and where skating is strictly prohibited on city property. And second, I would love to have a city or state where skateboarding is banned on city property due to public health concerns. One way or another the city of Portland will be enforcing just that and this has been a major issue for the last ten years while the other issues have been minor issues and have nothing to do with skateboarding. So yes, you can call to the office of city council to learn if it is really necessary for your city to be enforcing skateboarding rules.

[@mariozogbo790]

[@LetzNico]

Thanks for the vid! More city cruiser videos pleaaaase! 🙌

[@OgdenSikel]

for sure!!!

[@spark300c]

big cracks it why I bought a long board because of the bigger wheels. the wheel are able to handle a bump up 17mm. So a bump to wheel ratio of 3.75. the wheels are around 65mm. how ever some bump make want 70mm wheels. also the length helps get over bumps. the down side is longer turning radius.

[@MizzRychcik]

Very helpful thank you so much

[@brandonleal5988]

Personally I like riding 52mm I like the speed & agility the sound of hard wheels too

[@Tanstaafl1976]

Great tips, thanks Ogden. Quick question: Was your skateboard designed to accommodate the large wheels that you installed? I am curious if they ever caused you any wheel bite?

[@OgdenSikel]

Yeah and it's the hardest, mainly due to getting your consistency down to be able to make it viable to use

[@markopejic5148]

Brother your board looks fairly similar to my mindless cruiser. I want those wheels so bad as the roads here are so bad and I’m constantly going over rough terrain. But I’m worried about them rubbing off the board as they’re 12mm wider in diameter than the ones that came with the board. I have the lil cutout on the board like yours but I doubt there’s and extra 12mm space on a full lean

Is it possible to 'kickturn' with that cruiser?

[@PedroS1400]

Ye it is but its gonna be heavy af & way harder than if u got street wheels bc cruiser wheels are way bigger than street wheels. If u wanna learn to kick turn & ollie, get some 100 durometer street wheels bc that's the only proper way to learn

[@yat-lokwong2163]

man what's skateboard you r using? it looks great I wanna get one

[@kishel7]

I've got a question. What do I do in situation like this: I drive on a steep and long downhill on walkpath which is made out of like 30x30cm concrete blocks. They're kinda smoothh to ride but I'm gaining very high speeds and the end of downhill is busy road with cars and lights. How do I slow down? I remember being scared as fuck but I managed to slow down on time with my foot and steering at the end of downhill, since walkpath was like 1,5 meters wide. Cruiserboard beginner here btw

[@kishel7]

@Duckt1le Hill was too steep for powerslide and pathwalk too narrow. Also if I would jump off my board on grass, then the board would go straight into busy road, which could hurt someone

[@Cocomango_llc]

Hi I bought a cruiser board last year but find it really hard to reduce speed or stop on a long ramp. If I just use my shoes it costs me too much😢 what’s a proper way to reduce speed?

[@henriqueserra3233]

Hey, i had the same problem when I started haha. So, what I usually do, is stepping the floor with the back foot, like, you put it next to the nose of the board, and kinda "pull backwards", dont let your shoe slide so you don't fuck them up haha. And another tip, LEARN HOW TO DO FRONT AND BACKSIDE SLIDES, you reduce speed really fast, and if you are going a lot faster, you're just gonna fall if doing the step thing, or at least it´s not gonna be enough to break quickly.... Yeahh, they are scary at the beginning, but practice them on a nice floor before going to concrete and big ramps

[@MAN-nh5cd]

Thanks

[@AlexandraAulbach]

What was the brand of the wheels?

[@vangrijaa]

Soft wheels will allow you ride around flawlessly. Hard wheels work but they’re better for park and street spots, they’re prone to becoming smaller over time if you power slide. That’ll fkk you up with any holes in the ground

[@arrian2532]

Can anyone suggest how do we stop like 100 to 0 of speed without scraping our tail. I think that's the only efficient way of stopping besides braking with foot but that's also didn't work in an emergency situation. Any other recommendations? 🤔

Yo bro will it effect my 63mm standard wheels if I skate on rough roads or asphalt sidewalks? Or do i need some offroad wheels

[@Scythera99]

Man I ride rough roads and sidewalks on a size 8.0 with bones 52mm 100a wheels, those big bastards you got should do the job just fine, if you want more smoothe comfort, I'd go for softer if you're riding on 99a wheels. The bigger and softer, the better for cruising on all terrain, I wouldn't even go for offroads unless you really want to hit dirt with that thing.

[@ceg3909]

For going to a place to another is better a carver or a cruiser?

I'd say cruiser, also less difficult to balance on when just starting out if that's your situation
