[@orlandojcaceres]

finding this channel is the best thing KZbin has ever algorithmed my way

[@dadboard]

Man thank you I really appreciate the love! Comments like that keep me motivated to keep making videos!

[@mateusds909]

For real!

[@thaiguyry209]

Hell yeah! Wasn’t expecting another upload so quickly. Keep shredding brotha. I need to get my lazy ass out there again. This heat wave is brutal.

[@dadboard]

I know it’s gonna be hard to make videos consistently the next couple months so I’m just trying to put them together when I can.

[@pabsrea5998]

youre one of the only few youtube skaters that i can stand, great channel! i look forward to your videos

[@dadboard]

That means a lot, man thank you 🙏

[@pabsrea5998]

@@dadboard thank you big dawg!

[@CoryBurchettSkates]

i love the nollie pops out of the 50s!

[@dadboard]

Thanks! It actually feels more natural than popping off the tail for some weird reason

[@Chocalateshake]

You are straight motivation!!!

[@dadboard]

Thank you, man! Very happy to do what I can

[@NuTTyScuTTy]

Early morning sessions in the summer are the best, usually noboday at the skateparks and nice and cool. Got one this morning and it was much needed.

[@dadboard]

Glad you got one in! Winter and summer are both tough but at least when it’s raining you can seek out some cover

[@caleymoore]

That nose manny was so sick!

[@brookesskinner1636]

Hey man. 37 year old skater here. Started at 11 yo and “retired” three years ago. Got fired up when I saw your video. Apparently you’re my doppelgänger. Thanks for doing what you do. Started skating again.

[@soberskater]

Older guys gotta make time to skate... if we wait till it's perfect out we might never get back out, good job dad board! Session videos really hitting hard bro

[@dadboard]

Exactly. You can’t sit around and wait for the perfect conditions or friends or any of that. Just gotta make it happen!

[@robbeaton2178]

Good watch on a rainy day - wishing I was doing the same but at least living vicariously

[@dinkystick]

The skating was for you but the video was for us. Shout out to dad board!

[@dadboard]

Shoutout to you! ❤

[@RyanWinnInking]

I was like “why such a short vid this time?” Than I got to the that shinner sesh ender. RIP to your shin.

[@AEMG79]

Nice flow. This channel grew on me. I love your love for skateboarding. You should do a sess with samiwise

[@mattb8562]

I'm just here for the rollerbladers on acid stories.

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Your skatepark sessions are so chill you forget how difficult and impressive these tricks are. Fly out to nose manual to drop/roll back in 🤯

[@likespinningpats]

My town's opening a skatepark this month so I won't have to drive an hour to get to the nearest skatepark. This video got me stoked, we're going to have one of those little old man ledges (curb with metal edge)

[@theJACK__]

2:42 dude, I remember NOT drinking ANY water and skating all day & night as a teen(lil bit of my 20s) in hot'ass central California! fueled only by 52¢ 64oz fountain cup sodas😅(and the stoke!)

[@harddaysnight5661]

Yoooo same here! … now I’m all about hydration and stretching

[@dadboard]

I used to just drink Powerade and sprite lol how

[@benzo1289]

The guy with chair walking by had me laughing love weird cut up leaven in never stop 😂

[@dadboard]

That was funny because I didn’t hear him at all until he was like 5ft behind me and he had a whole camping setup lol

[@morepassionfoo]

These vids always get me hyped to go skate. I’m gonna be heading to Roseville later this week. Hopefully I’ll be able to hit a couple local spots while I’m out there!

[@mateusds909]

Good vid! Hoping to get a sesh in next week! Much love!

[@ericdoubleu5390]

Can’t skate atm. Landed on my chest at the park a week ago and can still hardly take a full breath without wincing. I love morning sessions. I always go before work. 5 am and no one’s there! So nice!

[@ETANGSKATES]

This title goes hard haha🔥but seriously this heat is unbelievable lately I’ve been resorting to skating at night

[@dadboard]

Thanks, Etang! Nighttime is hot af too.

[@handymads]

How I wish I had a bud like you who would take me skating at 6 am.

[@dadboard]

Me too man. Can’t wait for anyone else though. The time is now!

[@nicholasford67]

Lovely vid mate

[@dadboard]

Thanks man!

[@jamesholloway1951]

Despite the heat you did some slick moves 👌

[@antonmyhrvold]

Amazing 💪👑

[@simonvidetta1976]

Your nose manuals skills are insane dude! The one along and back into the bank and then the shuvit out on the block… 🤯

[@dadboard]

Thanks, Simon! One of my favorite things to do is nose manuals.

[@simonvidetta1976]

@@dadboard it really shows dude 🔥

[@KeepinTheFaith]

Good 'ol Mather. About 15-16 years ago my cousin and I used to hit up Power Inn and Mather around 6 a.m. for that exact reason. Honestly loved it. Hella chill and peaceful.

[@dadboard]

I wish they’d fix up PI because that place is crusty af. Sometimes I forget it’s even there but I might have to revisit it soon now that you reminded me

[@KeepinTheFaith]

@@dadboard I'm down the street from PI. But Mather was always my favorite. Best park out here IMO.

[@bluething3D]

Roller bladers?! Lets gooo!

[@dadboard]

@@bluething3D they have such a tight knit community and always have little gatherings at skateparks and shit. Always seem to have a buddy or two on the session as well. I don’t want skateboarding to _die_ per se, but it’s so big rn that the sense of community we once had feels tarnished.

[@burger1113]

love it, bro. I'm gon have to try this cuz summer getting pretty mad in Korea too lol always above 90 percent humidity and 90+ F

[@dadboard]

Fuuuuck dude humidity is super rough. Hang in there and get it in when you can! Shoutout to Korea!

[@MIDGITSMASHER132]

I’m from sac and was just at this park! Cool seeing locals in my video algorithm

[@misfitramone]

That's one thing I love about where I currently live is the temperature drop over night can be as much as 40 degrees. Like today is 90 but around 10 pm it'll be 58. So late night or early night sessions are the way to do it.

[@dadboard]

Lucky 🦆 I’m looking forward to our next 90 degree day 😓

[@misfitramone]

@dadboard yeah it hit over 100 today but the low will be 58 tonight.

[@harddaysnight5661]

Longsleeve help skating in this damn 100 plus weather 😅

[@dadboard]

I could never

[@JoshMcAllisterSK8]

I feel you bro, I had to get out at 7am today to beat the heat. But it was kinda nice

[@dadboard]

It really is

[@DrivingandDelivering]

If the bushings end up blowing out you should try like Tom Asta and swap in Ace bushings. I’ve never done it but apparently they fit Thunder trucks.

[@dadboard]

I feel like Ace bushings would be even softer but I’ll look into it. Never had a problem with aftermarket thunder bushings though 👊

[@user-xz4ji5bd9i]

dad board your so sick to watch skate keep it up!

[@dadboard]

Thanks, homie! Appreciate you watching 🙏

[@Jblizzybaby]

Riders on the storm like Osiris

[@dotherightthing9955]

We ride at dawn, because by 9 am its 700 degrees...

[@Vondoobie]

I gotta use those 97 duros too. Ive always used the 94's but they don't cut it in the heat.

[@dadboard]

I was really surprised how responsive they were. I tried the blue ones previous which I think are 100d and I literally couldn’t turn

[@benjamindlevin]

I was out at 0530 this very morning to clean out a ditch.

[@dadboard]

Fuck yeah

[@totalmentef]

I´m back on skating right now... ...15yrs after quit and 50yrs old...

[@dadboard]

@@totalmentef hell yeah, man! Glad to hear it. Don’t forget to stretch and get that cardio in when you’re not skating!

[@totalmentef]

@@dadboard everyday ❤️

[@P1Brand]

Once you get used to skating super early in the day (7 am) it’s really great. The light is usually better too

[@dadboard]

I’m definitely not used to it but I’m really gonna try to switch it up. I work late a lot so it’s hard to get out early but the vibe is immaculate and worth foregoing a few extra hours of sleep

[@P1Brand]

@@dadboard For years, my weekday skate schedule is sneaking an hour or so minute after school drop off but before showing up late and sweaty to work. It always puts me in a good mood to start the day. I try to repeat it 5 times a week, sometimes more, sometimes less. Spots are rarely crowded that early and almost a must to beat the summer heat.

[@blaiseanddestroy]

I buy a cup of ice from 711 with my water and Gatorade that way I can have ice water 2 hours into my morning summer sesh

[@Johnnytotal]

Ever tried some thin soccer shinguards? Like the freestyle skaters used in the 80’s.

[@dadboard]

No I don’t think I would do that. Shinners are a part of the game and I like to be as free of any add ons as possible.

[@leestammers3832]

Great title! Sounds harsh out there right now

[@Asanhokcrook]

Yurrrtttt

[@rwlurk]

where I live the new park is mobbed with scooter kids and moms who give you the stink eye if you show up with a skateboard so you have to skate at dawn if you want to skate... at the skatepark

[@dadboard]

Show up with a Bluetooth and a black metal playlist. The skatepark is not a playground. Some of these parents need to be reminded of that 😒

[@Enai_is_here]

you should be at mather this sunday bc of the sk8 event

[@Jacobunny]

Nice man, like a good get-there-before-the-crowds skatepark sesh (though 6:30am is pretty damn early, I be more like 7:30am 😅) Can't believe you didn't hit that *mellow af* hubba behind the manny pad though... 👀☠

[@dadboard]

The hubba next to the rail? That thing is like handrail height. Ain’t no way 😂

[@Jacobunny]

@@dadboard Ikr, WHO is skating these huge/steep/short things? If you're gonna take that risk you might as well hit it in the streets!

[@hermes_job_observer144]

Not that i don't enjoy your musical choices, but i really wish you'd intersperse your music into some of the vids! Whether finding some of your old stuff that fits a certain video's vibe or making some new ish if you felt so inspired. I always appreciated your production, dude. It would just add even more of your own personal flavor to it and might get some random interested ears listening and potentially delving into your other talents. If that's not what you want, and wish to keep them seperate, i respect that, but as with your art/graff, i think it'd be dope to cross hatch your interests or give a little more insight into you as a person. I mean, yeah, art's personal, but sharing it also has it's merits. Stay up, and stay cool bro!✌ Peace, Love, Light & Discernment to All, Unconditionally.

[@dadboard]

Thanks, dude, I appreciate the kind words. I used some of my stuff in some older edits but a lot of it doesn’t really fit the vibe I’m trying to convey. I was always into darker and more dramatic beats but my taste has changed over the years.

[@robertgilfillan3221]

only way I can get it in with dad life is to get there at 6:45am. Only people there are some tweakers from the night before, but it's ok.

[@dadboard]

Tweakers suck but do what you gotta do. Just watch your shit when you put it down 😒

[@LinkMassing]

Dadboard, getting back into skating after 23 years has been amazing. Now, I must ask your professional opinion of something. I will soon glue down (liquid nail heavy duty) a couple 2 sided parking curbs to form one single long curb. What filler would you recommend to fill inbetween the space crack? I have seen you use JB Steel Stick in one video and was wondering your overall recommendation. I have also seen somethgin called "Sika Anchoring Adhesive".

[@dadboard]

JB weld is pretty cheap and easy to use, but any type of epoxy or hardening material should do the trick. Glad you’re back skating, dude!

[@CamaroLSskateboarding]

Were you at Mather yesterday morning??

[@SkatinNatin]

Dude I live in the bay area and I’m often in the Sacramento area, what park is that? It looks amazing.
