tutorials from back in the day: "alright guys so today we're gonna be learning how to kickflip nosegrind" "so what you're gonna want to do is ride up to the obstacle then kickflip nosegrind.... then roll away clean"

"i'm a part of this skate youtuber community, and we can do better" i don't know man, i think with your content, skate youtube has officially peaked.
He’s rightfully calling out people who fill there videos with garbage that you have to skip through to get to the part that the title actually describes
I don’t completely agree with the idea that the person giving the trick tip has to be experienced. There are times when someone has a trick on lock to the point where they can’t explain it well because they don’t remember areas in which they had struggled. If someone had just recently dealt with some of these struggles, they might be able to explain mistakes that they learned to avoid. They can be good or ass on either end of this spectrum.
I agree strongly. That’s why I think so many Ollie tutorials on TH-cam are so bad, the people teaching them have all the muscle memory on lock. They don’t even think about the little things that beginners will struggle with.
This is actually true in a lot of cases outside skateboarding, one of the first jobs people who get their pilots license get using their license is being a flight instructor. Because they're in a spot where they understand the learning part of getting a pilots license. I think people who just learned something teaching that thing is cool, they can explain the process of learning it better than someone who's just been doing the trick off muscle memory for their entire life.

I remember building my board for the first time and watching Braille’s tutorial on how to setup a skateboard. When they screwed on the trucks to the bottom of the board he said “Generally you want to do it as tight as you can.” So I did. I ended up screwing them on so tight the screws on the top side started sinking into the wood of my board. After I asked a experienced skater why my screws sunk into my board and he said “Never do that. If you screw them TOO tight it can split the wood on your board.” Thanks to Braille for almost making me destroy my board by watching their misinformed setup video.
Lol back in my time we kids knew how pressure worked, Transworld show me the way came out id been skating 1 year or so I watched it so many times never helped really tho, nothing beats just trying and battling a trick I remember learning trellis the next day on the bus I told my best friend to look out the window when he passed my house again i landed and shot out and ate shit haha good times, fuck I miss being able to skate all day everyday, now when I'm home alone I clear my living room put and skate flat ground haha, was just joking about the pressure comment wish ya well man best to ya

I just wanted to say thankyou! I feel we are the same generation of skateboarders and you are doing a wonderful job of critiquing the current times of skateboarding. So much has changed over the years. Thankyou for your hard work and honesty.
when i was learning treflips I could never make them flip properly bc i though "your front foot doesn't do anything" but the day I actually tried flicking I landed my first tre. The youtube tutorials nevery come across the right way
lowkey understand the argument of wanting someone who recently learned a trick to teach them. once you get a trick dialed, you don’t think of the minute details and steps that go into the trick as much as you probably did when you were first figuring them out. a lot of times when people go up to me for advice on tricks that i find second nature to me, i find it hard to give them actual proper advice. however, you don’t want a total noob teaching you either, so i get your point. idk, just a thought.
i audibly laughed when i saw them wiping the wheels down (gotta make them look pre$entable) lol youtube videos are quickly becoming school class project videos. telling their audience what they think they want to hear with all filler..
By the way, I understand what you mean with the whole 'beginner/intermediate skateboarder learns a trick and turns bad teacher' argument, HOWEVER I have noticed a lot of pro skaters really can not explain how to do tricks well at all. They mostly do not even know what their muscle memory is programmed to do and as it has been forever since they learned the trick themselves, they just don't remember the struggle or problems they ran into. Someone _just_ having learned the trick would definitely understand what to emphasis. To me a literal skateboarder pro describing the flick in a kickflip as 'just flick the board with your front foot' in a 2 minute video is just a total waste of my time. Stefan Janoski definitely was told to make the video and it's not even a good tutorial at all. There's a lot of 'and now you flip' stuff in those minimalistic videos that's just not helpful at all. I _do_ agree all tre flips have plenty of front foot action going on. People are nuts to suggest there is nothing the front foot does. In fact, I'd say it's at least 25% of a flick and 75% of a back foot scoop. Maybe even more of a front foot flick. Also, for what it is worth, a 360 pressure flip is done very differently. Can't be done with the regular tre flip foot position. And believe it or not, the front foot _does do stuff_ .
Around 6 years ago one of my homies introduced me to reddit. Finding community around similar interests sounded cool so I checked out the skateboarding subreddit and was immediately put off. I don't understand why online skate communities are so wack a majority of the time and I couldn't agree more with your last point. We all deserve better than this.
reddit sucks unless you are looking for a fact on something. now with chatgpt getting "questions" correct. you dont need the drama and fake karma of reddit.
Rad Rat and Ben Degros are my boys. Grosso's Love Letters are the greatest skateboarding TH-cam videos ever made. You're quickly growing on me, though. I'm liking this trend in skateboarding lately where literacy is encouraged and ignorance is addressed directly.
Hey man not gonna meme with this comment, just want to let you know your videos are really good and your take on TH-cam skateboarding content is really refreshing 👍
I'm not so harsh on the skate teachers, but this is mostly right. It is amazing how many of them are saying the same thing without really thinking about it or being very articulate about it. But you watch a bunch of them and you'll usually get the general idea of how to do a trick. Right now I like Tom Rohrer's tips the best. They are way more detailed, way more attentive to physics and balance, they thoughtfully contradict a lot of other ppl, and he provides a set of variables to troubleshoot as personally necessary.
THANK YOU.. I too am so sick of hearing "your front foot does nothing" on these tre videos.. It's total BS.. I'd like to see one of these guys do a one legged tre flip to prove it. I dunno. my tres are heavily dependent on my front foot annnnnnd I won't feel shame for that fact anymore 😭😭😭 *Also, Ben D's the man.
From what Ive seen the majority of skaters are just uniformed as far as wheels and urethane goes. which is fair I had to actively seek out most of the info I know. While different formulas can definitely help with flatspotting, the majority of it comes down to technique. if you're power sliding at a 90 degree angle to the direction you're moving the wheels are going to flatspot no matter what they are
I think this video is a great lesson on the importance of having a natural scepticism of things you encounter in your daily life. In my opinion a good thing to analyse when someone is presenting you with something is their motivation behind it. Do these dudes want to give an honest review of the wheels for you, or do they want to get that time metric to over 10 minutes to bump up the revenue
THANK YOU. 360 flips use the front foot. I have even heard Ellis Frost call what i would call a 360 pressure flip, a tre-flip. He even describes it as using the back foot, and scooping and not even using the front foot. It actually looks like a lot of people are actually doing it that way too, judging from foot action witnessed. Maybe that's just me, coming from a time before it was called a "tre-flip".
@@ikeworkman4449 exactly. It seems that where the sport has certainly excelled, it left other areas to just be lazy. Imagine if all grabs were just relinquished to be named "grab".

we really need more wheels in the mid 90 durometers. love the oj 95a nomad formula right now better than any 99a durometer wheels. they are hard enough for speed and to slide but allow a little bit of give to keep your speed when hitting pebbles and changes in banks.
A lot of teachers are just very vague but they think they're being specific. There's the "front foot doesn't do anything at all" bad tip about treflips, a similar "you don't really do anything with your front foot" tip for pop shove-its, "pop straight down" tip for 360 shove-its (wait, no scoop?), and the "delay the flick" tip for just about everything (delay how? sure, don't flick immediately, but isn't the flick the end point of a continued motion?). I like Tom's Tutorials bc he doesn't take any of these things for granted and communicates more specific details
16:17 Quick nitpick Bruce Lee was a Chinese American, and Karate is a Japanese martial art with almost no jump kicks. While Bruce Lee developed his own style of Jeet kone Do, his foundation of Kung fu comes from a traditional Chinese style called Wing Chun. 😉
Honestly I think it is better when skaters make a trick tip right after learning a trick, because I feel that when you first learn a trick / are learning a trick you do it completely differently than once you've done it for years, people who just learned it have more helpful tips imo. At that point there are so many things that are just muscle memory that experienced folks don't consciously think about that their trick tips will be useless. I agree that there are too many of these though.
Waiting for the John Hill comment on this one lol (I fuck with John Hill heavy though I can’t lie) & PLEASE Do a video on Professor Schmidt & wether he is an actual professor or he is all marketing… I’ll buy multiple sticker packs if you do
Hidden sponsors annoy me but clickbait doesn't. I just accept that's how YT works. I don't mind if my favourite skaters come up with clickbait stuff to attract new viewers. Who cares?
Honestly GH is the only skateboard TH-camr that I like, I grew up skating in 04’ I stopped in like 2013 for 10 years and came back last summer 2022. I never even seen once skateboarding TH-camrs and a lot of them are so corny and fake I genuinely can’t watch that bs. GH seems to say it like it is though and I see myself agreeing with him more and more. Call me crazy but fake personalities and clickbait sponsor happy videos aren’t the wave.
it wasn´t just habitat beeing we need content. it was a dvd from transworld called "show me the way" for example reynolds also taught how to frontside flip. it´s a great dvd with good trick tips. much love and positivity
Last time I skated Ricta wheels was before 2008, had a set of 56mm Glifberg cores. Ben layden was on the ricta team back then and a lot of us tried them because of him being a local pro, they where okay, still prefer spitfires though. I am currently running a set of orbs because they're cheap, and I like them so far.
without even having finished the video I can assure you that Ricta wheels are crap. I had those speedrings too and they have a core which can become loose. I did a half cab into a bank and the wheel cam off the core. So I had only bearings and the core of one wheel on my truck. This is not what you expect from a wheel. They have also other wheels that are without a core but I can say they actually slide much better than spitfire or bones depending durometer.
Hey man! Love your points and such. I was the one that filmed the tre flip trick tip! The point of my tutorials and the way I film them is by demonstrating tips that I’ve learned throughout my process of getting them on lock. I would never film a trick tip on a trick that I wouldn’t have 4 out of 5 times. Skating is hard, there’s people out there that need guidance. Trick tips are very repetitive but I like to throw in things people rarely talk about which is why my trick tips kinda get a good amount of traction to my channel.
Nice part you dropped earlier Zack ! You are one of the few with decent content I enjoy here on youtube.., love the DIY stuff... it's great what you bring to the table! Thanks from UK!
I remember that video of Stefan , then I started seeing his shoe everywhere 5-6 years later and was confused because I knew not everyone knew who he was
I agree "Yo I got this new _____, let's skate it" One hour later: " wow those were in deed _____, skate (brands everyone else skates) instead" I'd love to see TH-camrs review after months of sessioning a product, the Christian Flores reviews were kinda like that but once you have to make them once a week then you can't really give a full review
Yeah ion think the progress daily "reviews" need to be taken that seriously. As someone who watches all their videos I just like the dudes and their skating
Those videos are basically just talking and saying a whole lot of nothing. There’s no proper community and culture when it comes to those types of channels. They just feel like hollow shells of what real skateboarders should be. This why I have lots of respect for certain street skateboarding videos because of the authenticity and culture that is shown.
I'm just editing a product review video (Ricta 92a's and Mini logo 95a's), there's some good reviewers out there, but it's surprisingly difficult to find many decent, unbiased, reviews. I thought youtube would be swimming in them.

There's the "front foot doesn't do anything at all" bad tip about treflips, a similar "you don't really do anything with your front foot" tip for pop shove-its, "pop straight down" tip for 360 shove-its (wait, no scoop?), and the "delay the flick" tip for just about everything (delay how? sure, don't flick immediately, but isn't the flick the end point of a continued motion?). I like Tom's Tutorials bc he doesn't take any of these things for granted and communicates more specific details
The Janoski trick tip comes from Transworld's 'Show Me the Way' video, from 2004.
Thank you for calling out youtube skaters on their bullshit. would love to see a force wheels review from u
16:17 Quick nitpick Bruce Lee was a Chinese American, and Karate is a Japanese martial art with almost no jump kicks. While Bruce Lee developed his own style of Jeet kone Do, his foundation of Kung fu comes from a traditional Chinese style called Wing Chun. 😉
Gifted make a skate city tier list
Honestly I think it is better when skaters make a trick tip right after learning a trick, because I feel that when you first learn a trick / are learning a trick you do it completely differently than once you've done it for years, people who just learned it have more helpful tips imo. At that point there are so many things that are just muscle memory that experienced folks don't consciously think about that their trick tips will be useless. I agree that there are too many of these though.
I love Progress Daily cause it’s a local-ish page which is cool for me, but I got FIRED UP when you mentioned Ben DeGros cause that’s the G
Waiting for the John Hill comment on this one lol (I fuck with John Hill heavy though I can’t lie) & PLEASE
Do a video on Professor Schmidt & wether he is an actual professor or he is all marketing…
I’ll buy multiple sticker packs if you do
Good idea
The few trick tip tutorials I made aren’t bad. (At least I think). Plus they’re shorter than your typical tutorial
you were the subject of discussion for a second in the nineclub discord this morning lol. Keep up the videos!
Hidden sponsors annoy me but clickbait doesn't. I just accept that's how YT works. I don't mind if my favourite skaters come up with clickbait stuff to attract new viewers. Who cares?
"Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."
I enjoy some of Local Joe's vids where he shares a key element from a good trick tip which helped him.
You and degro are all I need
KEEP PUTTING OUT CONTENT DONT STOP
Best skateboarding related youtube channel ✅
I always wondered why Ben's videos seemed like a breathe of fresh air. Now I know why
John hill seems to hate the skate community and is constantly talking down to it
tom asta slander outta pocket
that’s what i’m saying!!
"Guys, that's gonna wrap it up for me"
He says while the landing of an unwrapped "impossible" is on screen
Honestly GH is the only skateboard TH-camr that I like, I grew up skating in 04’ I stopped in like 2013 for 10 years and came back last summer 2022. I never even seen once skateboarding TH-camrs and a lot of them are so corny and fake I genuinely can’t watch that bs. GH seems to say it like it is though and I see myself agreeing with him more and more. Call me crazy but fake personalities and clickbait sponsor happy videos aren’t the wave.
it wasn´t just habitat beeing we need content. it was a dvd from transworld called "show me the way" for example reynolds also taught how to frontside flip. it´s a great dvd with good trick tips. much love and positivity
Last time I skated Ricta wheels was before 2008, had a set of 56mm Glifberg cores. Ben layden was on the ricta team back then and a lot of us tried them because of him being a local pro, they where okay, still prefer spitfires though. I am currently running a set of orbs because they're cheap, and I like them so far.
only trust Ben Degros, the 🐐
@J IMAKREWITATL Ben is his older brother
without even having finished the video I can assure you that Ricta wheels are crap. I had those speedrings too and they have a core which can become loose. I did a half cab into a bank and the wheel cam off the core. So I had only bearings and the core of one wheel on my truck. This is not what you expect from a wheel. They have also other wheels that are without a core but I can say they actually slide much better than spitfire or bones depending durometer.
That foot is doing more than dangling. 😂
The Stefan Janoski trick tip was from a Transworld trick tips video. Its on TH-cam, its called Show Me The Way
I got some ricta clouds and they're dope, didn't know they were affecting my "street cred"
ben degros and prof schmitt need to have a podcast together!
Lol that Tre flip Video.
Tbh the skate video games taught me how to Ollie. Then after that it was just practice
they need to test them in the streets! and they havent even broken them in yet. love ben degros
Hey man! Love your points and such. I was the one that filmed the tre flip trick tip! The point of my tutorials and the way I film them is by demonstrating tips that I’ve learned throughout my process of getting them on lock. I would never film a trick tip on a trick that I wouldn’t have 4 out of 5 times. Skating is hard, there’s people out there that need guidance. Trick tips are very repetitive but I like to throw in things people rarely talk about which is why my trick tips kinda get a good amount of traction to my channel.
Fake ass impossible
The front foot was just dangling there flipping the board perfectly all by itself karate kid lmao
Christian Flores is reliable too then he skates his shoes for months and gives a reliable review.
He doesn’t always skate them for that long. Didn’t he only skate the cons all star for a day ?
@@kharyan2 well I mean I haven’t watched all the shoes reviews but most of them he skates for about a month
Tony Hawk and Koston had the 3 flip covered 2 decades ago lol
“This tradition of useless trick tip videos” is so fucking on point 🔥
I’m entertained
Nice part you dropped earlier Zack ! You are one of the few with decent content I enjoy here on youtube.., love the DIY stuff... it's great what you bring to the table!
Thanks from UK!
why did you make an anti nike sb video then ended it saying "corporations belong in skating?" ?????????
I remember that video of Stefan , then I started seeing his shoe everywhere 5-6 years later and was confused because I knew not everyone knew who he was
I agree
"Yo I got this new _____, let's skate it"
One hour later: " wow those were in deed _____, skate (brands everyone else skates) instead"
I'd love to see TH-camrs review after months of sessioning a product, the Christian Flores reviews were kinda like that but once you have to make them once a week then you can't really give a full review
Yeah ion think the progress daily "reviews" need to be taken that seriously. As someone who watches all their videos I just like the dudes and their skating
oh man the scoooooooop and flick stefan video is what i watched to try and learn tres back in the day
Those videos are basically just talking and saying a whole lot of nothing. There’s no proper community and culture when it comes to those types of channels. They just feel like hollow shells of what real skateboarders should be. This why I have lots of respect for certain street skateboarding videos because of the authenticity and culture that is shown.
he's only getting spicier i love it
Truly one of the better thumbnails
When it comes to Ricta wheels Tom Asta really is the biggest sell for me
Can’t believe he left spitfire for Rictas.
@@marquisjones7847 Such a ridiculous move imo, spitfires are by far the superior product
I'm just editing a product review video (Ricta 92a's and Mini logo 95a's), there's some good reviewers out there, but it's surprisingly difficult to find many decent, unbiased, reviews. I thought youtube would be swimming in them.
The Stefan tre flip was from this trick tip vid transworld made called “show me the way” where Rodney also gives a break down on how to darkslide 😂
Ben Degros, the absolute GOAT.
Dan has the best tutorials
This guy’s gonna be huge
Protect Gifted Hater at all costs
