[@armonwatson7034]

"You'll have to forgive me if my shoes aren't vans enough and my hairs not long enough for you to think I have something to tell you about this sort of stuff, but maybe I can help" lmao love that

[@fernandoreyes680]

Lol Ben is the best

[@endthedrugwartoday]

Umm, not forgiven! Get a few crappy tattoos as well please.

[@steveguminy8792]

[@JonnyDIY]

Vintage Ben 💕 miss this channel, wait 2 Ben skate channels 🤯👍

[@sunnysun3252]

dude, you really got it going at the end of the vid, so rad!!!

[@ProgressSkateboarding]

Great advice, Ben. I feel like I have my back axle stalls locked in, but this type of coping would have me stumped!

[@dustinbrown8094]

Thank you for your contributions to the community.

[@richardwang3778]

For the ollie timing, I found out a super helpful exercise I made up(I used to have problem with ollie timing). I fixed this in one day by doing this one exercise. I jumped from ollie postion to all four bolts. I figured out that you don't really try to pop the board, if you try to jump it will automatically pop the board and the motion you use to pop the board, is the jump from ollie position to landing on all four bolts. When you ollie, pop the way you jump, like don't try to pop the board, just jump and the board will automatically pop. The board automatically pop, because when you jump, you put pressure on the ground and force, so if you jump on ur board, you will put pressure and force on the tail. The timing was something I couldn't fix in the ollie no matter how hard I tried, so I decided to try this exercise I made up a few times and I DID AN OLLIE WITH CORRECT TIMING.

[@lebowskiunderachiever3591]

Interesting , I think I know what you mean and can see that working

[@jessevanhaght8053]

This is 100% the secret to ollies, I learnt the exact same way

[@TomsGarage007]

Thanks for sharing this, will try tommorow. I've got the technique, just no pop

[@oldbonz]

Thx Ben, another nugget of gold... Vans enough...rich.

[@chaddsinclairofficial]

damn another local skater here that is rad

[@azazelreficulmefistofelicu7158]

My local skatepark has a coping that is three quarters out. This tips are going to help quite a lot. As usual, thanks.

[@NoceilingsCSGOyup]

Ben can you please do an IN DEPTH kickflip video, where to shift your weight, problems, i KNOW you will bring something to the table that no other youtuber/skater has mentioned before. always loved your insights. and also a version for bs 180s.

[@1tonyjaa]

Good Video short and simple! :D Have a good day/night :)

[@justkeepskating8888]

Thanks!

[@fenderman1984]

this is the video I was hoping for

[@ericd8687]

Ben "my shoes are Van's enough" yesssss! Keepin it real brother! My shoes haven't ever been Van's enough and my hair certainly ain't getting any longer..lol

[@jesus2kool]

very nice thanks for the tips been having sketchy moments at the lot 11 bowl in Miami but tbh its all about overcoming that pool coping

[@sophiieewm8700]

Loving the new channel, makes your current one more personalized and technical alongside this with the tutorials 👍 I was wondering if you could do a video on different types of grinds since its hard to find comprehensive videos on the subject, you are a ledge guy after all :P

[@switchgod3008]

Fs smith on ledges would be a good one 😌.

[@aidenli1123]

Love the way you did fs 5-0 at 3:55 that made me feel you have the board in control to get out of the coping. I swear I thought you gonna bail it though hahaha

[@fiore_adriano]

"Just keep skating - simple as that" ;)

[@elemenopee3458]

Ben. You have discussed truck sizes several times. Last time I did truck stalls was on an old 10" Shaped board and I've started skating again this year and am now riding an 8" setup. I really like it. But how will that compare to the 129's you've mentioned being difficult? I've done some pretty minor mini ramp stuff this year but i'm pretty timid about climbing up on the coping.

[@s.a.l.1974]

Love this guy!!!!

[@AbenteuerWildnis]

Thank you. I would like to see a video from you that explains how to learn to 'drop in' ...! 😃 Greetings from Austria 🛹🇦🇹🛹

[@sergipadillaargelich8459]

Ben could u do a 5-0 tutorial on ramp or bowl? Great tips btw

[@howva]

I wonder if you could do some beginner get used to the board type exercises. thanks

[@cameronhillier17]

Yo that’s crazy you’re at Bonsor. That’s the park I grew up skating.

[@skateforever716]

Are you digging the fallen shoes

[@lebowskiunderachiever3591]

I always wondered why some coping was like this . Is it to simulate a real pool or to make things more interesting / challenging ? I am not a pool or ramp guy and chickened out to dropin on a mild bowl that had symetry minus the coping . Noping was achieved but looking down at the chunkyness it felt scary , like huge concrete vert ramp scary , 😲

[@luisogpr]

the problem with this type of coping is that they are located in a freakin' big transitions! (haha at least in my island) i haven't seen any mellow (enough) ramp with that type of coping!!!

[@tweekedmobb1789]

imagine like u are doing a slappy

[@AstronoizeOfficial]

Just the sound of those grinds 🤤

[@kylerichards9024]

“Shoes aren’t vans enough” lmao who called Ben a poser!?

[@christopherp.rodriguez6986]

Maybe a bs 5-0 tutorial on a ledge next?

[@russelldunn6072]

Thank u

[@bryanflo4500]

When will we see some Ben Degros footage?

[@jaybchillyn5627]

When i tried to ollie while rolling I always fall back when i pop can barely do oliies but i hesrd if u learn while rolling there easier

[@Enz0Gtz]

can you do a tutorial on shuv its???

[@skateforever716]

Can you do a vid on how to skate pools?

[@romanlanzas508]

He has a few vids on his OG channel (:

[@skateforever716]

Roman Lanzas I know but he never explains leaning back and like how to pump

[@KaaKMonstret]

@@skateforever716 he has a good video called "how to skate a bowl (keeping speed!), that one together with the mini ramp pumping tutorial is all you need, then it's just to get out there and practice.

[@rotimi9501]

Your hair's just fine... Lmao

[@kevineder590]

My favorite video you have done. Could we see more of these? Looks like a gnarly park.

[@7c9ND2el]

So, its like a slappy.

[@jayhernandez3687]

You have a shoe on that is sicker than vans

[@crystal-dn5ig]

what park is this

[@derekmccray9332]

Hey Ben, just to echo the other folks, your "vans enough" comment was great...a true "Ben Gem". I was just wondering, like, how do you know if your shoes are vans enough or not vans enough. Are all vans vans enough or are some vans not even vans enough? I'm so confused.

[@AlexGarcia-ws7kq]

52mm?

[@dumbwaller]

Looks like your riding a bigger wheel there.

[@justkeepskating8888]

Wider. 52mm lock-in. They are fun but a bit clunky sometimes.
