The Longboard Beginners GUIDE #3 | Carving and Pumping!

[@marissatweeton]

Got my first longboard a few months back and have been having a blast. I ride anywhere I can now

[@NeaLopezProductions]

I got my first one, a loaded tan tien, last month and I love it! Exactly what I needed at this time right here :D I broke my ankle a couple years back so balance can be a struggle sometimes, especially being 6'3", but so far the longboard has been a LOT easier to learn than skateboards

@4:23 This is SO true and well worth mentioning - Good on you, Thanks!

These videos came at the right time

Hey man, craving a lot of longboard dance x freestyle videos lately. And luckily enough I found your channel. I live in the South East of Asia and its really hard to find good budget set-ups considering its expensive to ship from the US. I have seen your Trucks Video about some knock offs Paris trucks and was surprised having you reviewed it, considering it just a truck that costs 10 bucks here. I will also buy the orangutan bushings along with it. Would love to see a thorough guide on bushings in the future. With just one video I subscribed because of how clear and concrete your reviews are. Good luck with the channel, cheers!

I just got my first longboard and I'm addicted! This video was super helpful. Gonna work on that pumping!

[@mightymustache6949]

Found your channel from r/longboarding Great vids

[@broomgizmo4227]

Thanks for video! Thanks to your previous video about pumping i finally learned how to do this thing. Actually it's not hard once you understand how it works. But I still make a lot of unnecessary movements and get tired quickly tho. My favorite setup for longboard and cruiser (top mount): Paris trucks: RKP and TKP Wedge front, deWedge back truck via angled riser (i always use button head hardware specifically for angled risers to prevent damaging deck) Front trucks with barrel/cone bushings with cupped washer for more rebound (i use otang knuckles) Back trucks with double barrel with flat washer. This setup carve like crazy while having a lot of stability.

Thanks man!!! big fan from Argentina 🙂

[@bluegodofspeed]

Love your vids man!!! Just discovered this channel and you explain things super well. Love how much you cover too, and I learn concepts that I've never been introduced to as a beginner.

[@FlymanMS]

1:20 Nice of you to visit Little Prince’s planet for this vid!

[@DeniseNepraunig]

Really great video series Ogden! Thank you! I think the only part missing is the footbrake :D

[@michaelgomesvieira9055]

Great videos, have learnt a lot watching these! Can you do a video on how to slowdown going downhill by carving on a cruiserboard/longboard?

[@paolochilardi8672]

Cool, any specifics things for the santa cruz pintail?

[@tinytanker44]

Letz gooo

[@vikram.joshi.dirtrider]

Hey Ogden, great videos! Thank you!! As a beginner I got Loaded Dervish Sama prior to watching your videos. The guy sold me a Flex 1 which is for people much heavier people than my 140 lbs self. Wondering what impact that will have on my pumping. Any thoughts?

[@AndJusTIceForRob]

I have no skateboard experience. 6’6” 285 and thinking about getting a longboard for cruising and a little winding and pumping on the local greenway. Would you recommend any drop/double-drop board made for bigger folks? Beercan boards pop up often in my searches. Do you have any experience with them or have other recommendations?

[@MrSonysoman]

Hi dear, how to determine the nose and tail of a long board, and while loosening the kingpin for more curves,do we have to loosen both nose and tail ? Thanks

[@Rose_Butterfly98]

How similar is it to riding a casterboard? The motions seem really similar. Guess I'll find out when it gets warmer.

[@mikak2988]

I’m a complete beginner. Do you think putting fatty hawks on my Dinghy would make it easier to learn and make it easier for city riding?

[@eBoard3R]

*Not sure if encourin people to shower on one leg is the best advice* 😂 considerin grip isn't great lol. But yeah in general, practicin balancin on one foot is great, when makin breakfast, when waitin around, etc

[@brunoleao8879]

One more question, do you prefer 150 or 180 mm trucks for carving/pumping? Tnx

[@tymurmikhieiev8548]

Hi folks! Please help me make a choice! I'm trying to choose a versatile and fast board that can handle all kinds of terrain and also allows me to do basic tricks like Ollie, kickflip, shuvs and so on. I plan to use it to move around town and do some tricks for fun. What should I choose? Landyahtz Dinghy or ATVX Classic?

[@obikefix522]

I have a drop hammer 36. I was wondering if I put 85mm wheels on it will I get wheel bite??

[@ogarci79]

Is the 70/30 weight rule just for pushing or should I try to maintain that while carving, etc? In general, do I keep my weight on the front foot while they are both perpendicular to the board?

[@49684]

[@brunoleao8879]

Which set of wheels and bushings do you use?? Keep it real, bro. Best from brazil.

[@luqmaansallie8551]

:) trust

[@Gabby-si6ql]

Question, do you need to loose your trucks first? Longboard trucks are tight to prevent speed wobbles right? And I put all my weight on one side just to turn slightly, do I have to loosen it to pump?

[@Fantaman900]

My trucks came very loose and I tightened them a bit because I was wobbling like crazy just to go straight while pushing. Unless you go really fast down hill I keep them loose enough to make a full turn with leaning on your toes and heels. But I'm a beginner not an expert.

[@elbrothernaico]

question, while pumping are you getting the extra push from your knees or hips? when I carve my legs feel like they do an S motion but no rotation on my ankles.

[@OgdenSikel]

Probably more from my quads and upper leg muscles, I kinda push down with those to generate force while I’m twisting side to side
