the corner of the stair set so I just
stick with that
that's what I go for it I don't care
what anyone says to say oh you didn't
pop whatever it's just the way you
that's my preference
so watch me put this board together in
that lunch so what size is this again
this is a teapot and this one ate one
alright let's see how this nollie
heelflip attempts are gonna be compared
to and the board that is in here was the
eight ply remember eight five
so you just jumped from three sizes yeah
I was I started originally I was at
eight 8/2 I think I just get an eighth
one and I went back to eight two and
then I went to eight five because I
didn't have any more any more boards
remember and then I'm at this to a to a
game so all right
way better
hi I know it's a little Rokit those wait
wait car alright guys well that was me
and I've been talking about does size
matter when it comes to skateboarding we
want to know your guys's thoughts
obviously it works for him he jumped
different sizes so so conclusion wrap
this all up
I think this way better if you watch
those attempts right now we're starting
off this video right now we I deleted
the freakin like ten minutes of us
talking about sport size matters this is
what we're talking about and at the end
of this video let us know what you guys
think but here goes Ivan has been
talking to me about board sizes how it's
been messing with him so let's get it
started
alright guys are just camera I spent ten
minutes talking to a camera that was
pretty much deleted everything he just
said that [ __ ] so alright was same
before originally I was skating the
eight one I went to a two because I
didn't like the size I was flipping only
an eighth one
so I went to a two mice game is a little
better but for some tricks that I wanted
to do tech retail the slides Manny's
certain things that required me to turn
my body in midair
and so I won an 8 5 size board in an
Instagram contest from Rex Thank You Rex
I appreciate it
hope you're safe wherever you're at take
care so I want my eight two five two
eight five because I've sent my board
and for some of these skaters I'm pretty
sure you skate and me down boards or
shoes shoes get really torn up and like
I was saying I sent my boards I went to
eight eight five so that is this
considered a hand-me-down now this now
when you pass it down is considered a
hand-me-down right because I don't want
this I like to skate it unless this is
what we were talking about earlier
I'm sorry guys that the callosum I
trained at that but we were saying
earlier went totally fluid and then it
got deleted but anyhow
for those of you who are struggling who
don't have enough money to buy the Sun
the size board that you prep like that
you prefer righty I'm pretty sure you
want to stick with that size but you're
like I can't afford another one I could
skate this free board that I got it's an
85 it's a little big and then you start
noticing that you do different tricks on
the 85 because it's your feet and it's
different yep more to put your feet on
so some people can say Oh or size
doesn't matter
well whatever size you're riding try it
up upping that size by 2 inches until
tell us what you think then so here's a
size 9 right yeah here's a size 9 I'll
try to do an ollie on a size 9
oh how is that how did you feel with
that all right so for the size nine I
didn't really feel comfortable make my
feet compares to the board I feel like I
can't even feel the board it just feels
like like I'm riding a goddamn bow on
the [ __ ] boat so present not you you
know I see people where you want to put
your foot here in sight it should be
like right here right some [ __ ] so I
have to adjust to this size now if I'm
gonna go to a size that's smaller let's
go size 9 just go to size 7 7 5 now this
[ __ ] feels like my board takes that my
foot takes it the whole goddamn nose so
I'm going to annoy you
I don't feel like I can pop nor level
out the board
so you see what I'm going I can just go
down the whole damn list it just
although I landed it it's not how I know
how I want I want to see it alright
let's try it with my side that is doing
with the 8 to 5
there it is a t25 no I hear I leveled it
out felt good
that's what I wanted first try [ __ ]
so I apologize guys if I'm all scattered
brain right now and what I'm saying
isn't making sense because we were just
we spent ten minutes talking earlier
there's a lot of distractions going on
but so what what I'm trying to emphasize
with this video is that size does matter
shoes matter I'm riding
New Balance numerix and with these shoes
they're flat they're big cup and they're
bulky and let's say I go to a pro boss
I'm I have way more board feel and the
way I flip tricks is gonna be a little
different you can't say that shoes don't
matter or boards don't matter because
that's [ __ ] I've went up and down on
the board spectrum and size and you know
what the nine I kind of lit it felt a
little weird
I must credit carded I went to seven
seven five I still got it but as a
rocket when I went to my precise
preference at eight to five and I know
for a fact I'm gonna stick with this so
that's all I have to say about the size
spectrum when it comes to skateboarding
and board size for you guys that are
struggling with the hand-me-downs
just know that if you were gonna write a
size that you don't prefer just bet best
know that you're gonna struggle for a
little bit and when you adjust to that
board and you go back to your original
size it might be a little different
try not to get frustrated and just
adjust to the board whatever it is
you're skating skater Pole don't try to
do tech tricks the big a sport skater
pool do some grabs you have more board
to grab if you're gonna skate some
Manny's and you want to do triple kicks
go to the 775 you can get really pretty
tagged with that hey ya guys - TV is
hope you guys enjoy the video once again
I'm sorry for being all scatterbrain I
apologize I wish you could have saw how
it went down cuz I originally I had this
setup skating it and then I went to 85
and I was flipping this I was over
flipping like crazy to this level out
anyhow shut the [ __ ] up comment what you
guys think yeah let us know yeah doesn't
know you guys have had problems with
your board sizes shoes let us know if
yes it matters no it doesn't we want to
know yeah let us know your experiences
have a good night
take care later guys wait I'm pro guys I
just turned pro last night
