Make sure to also put a vert ramp in your backpack in case the spot is boring and in case it rains pack the materials to build a warehouse

Then don't forget its simple

[@danagibbs3265]

Insulated metal bottles are the best, always have cool water to drink

[@xbstux]

bring a reflective vest so people think you work for the city when using bondo, wrench, or crow bars

Skateboarding essentials: A car. FML.

[@theirshopewithjesuschrist_5867]

That's what I'm saying bro lol 😂. I have no car that's one reason I'm picking up skating it'll be my way to commute :)

[@eryll]

that’s at my school! i go down those stairs a lot and always see grinds on the rail but never seeing anyone hit it.

[@groidcel]

A big squeegee broom definitely helps during the wet months of the year. Comes in handy when it rained the night prior but its not warm enough for the water to evaporate quickly. Very helpful for smooth concrete however.

[@loco2loudhoodrichbctrill265]

Yeah squeegee the puddles and then light up the tiger torch 🤙

[@typingsounds]

Wow, most of these tips where you can alter your terrain like move benches and stuff I couldn't do in my home country as the public is so anti-skate, they'd call the cops in an instant 🤣

[@cactuscam913]

Night is your friend then

[@petrovic5990]

U from germany, aren't you?

[@emmjea6913]

In california it aint even that much different. My trick is to wear a high vis vest when I'm modifyings spots cause people won't trip on you and call the cops.

[@kingmaradei433]

If these are the essentials I cant imagine the non essentials.

[@vanse_ofcl]

I usually pack spare trousers/pants in case of an embarrassing rip

[@tacticsboardshop]

[@sestominecraft4099]

Im just learning and i practice in a place with tons of pebbles thanks for giving me the idea for a broom. My first pair of wheels are 54mm 80a and im starting to learn to ollie, is it worth it to keep those as cruiser wheels and throw on some spitfires 54mm

[@tacticsboardshop]

Learning ollies with soft wheels is totally fine, but when you start branching out into more technical tricks that involve 180's, pivots, powerslides, or ledge tricks, then you'll want to switch wheels. I'd suggest sweeping away the rocks from your skate area before switching wheels because hard wheels get stopped much more easily by pebbles. Have an awesome New Year! Cheers! - Tim

I was about to buy the tactics skate bag but it cost like 100 bucks total when shipping to norway, so i got a dickies one instead. :(

[@tomjansensinghit7223]

Hello sir do you have used or old board can I have it I'm just broke cause my board is pretty beat up

[@derrickww4025]

i just got a new skateboard, whenever the deck breaks should i order the same deck and put the same trucks wheels and bearings on the new deck? or just buy a whole new board?

[@tacticsboardshop]

Just replace the deck. It doesn't have to be the same exact deck either, just close to the same width. Your trucks, wheels, and bearings will last a lot longer. Have an awesome New Year! Cheers!🥂 - Tim

[@derrickww4025]

@@tacticsboardshop thanks! had anxiety because i wouldn’t be able to buy a whole new board

[@joshide4203]

Depending on where the deck broke, I've heard of OG's reshaping their decks too. Yeah it'll be smaller but you got a custom deck now, who can say that?

[@TrashingTaco]

To my fellow cruiser skaters who dont be grinding and shiit, you can dismantle your trucks and fit a cheap rubber bike light onto. Wayyy cheaper than the shred lights thing man

[@Baallzzz]

Also tons of water if thats no enough bring the whole Atlantic Ocean to your backpack

[@yvettegordon9068]

greetings someone could u kindly supply me with a direct outlet to purchase a adiddas Sabelo skate shoe

whats that crazy bumpy edge cruiser?

[@tacticsboardshop]

That's an Alltimers board. On the bottom is a stack of Oreo cookies and the shape follows the outline of the stack. I figured if I'm only using it for cruising/filming, it might as well be something silly. 😄✌ - Tim

Tim, how many times have you been arrested or just rousted making these tutorials? I bet your parents would just be shocked if they knew all the stuff you have been involved in. Take care, loved the pic of the first aid stuff.

No trouble with the law fortunately! There are much more egregious things I could be suggesting like angle grinders to cut off skate-blockers and rail kinks! 😅 The first aid is a must! Love ya dad! 💖🤪 - Tim
