- Dialing in your skateboard is as important as nailing your tricks. The pros have some secrets of their own when it comes to gear tweaks and personal preferences. In Setup, they reveal it all. For this installment, we hear from legendary skater Steve Caballero.
Fuck it's so awesome to still see guys like Cab still ripping it up..makes me want to get back into skating. Love the old school pros..great that they still make the wider boards too..
So, get back into skating :) Started a couple of months back after a 21 year break, it's still great... learning to carve bowls and ride ramps again is a blast.
Why do we ever stop?! I 'outgrew' it to be more 'grown up' I suppose - stupid mistake! Now I remember how much fun I used to have and now that I can actually afford a good setup I might do that.
The amount of choice in quality gear now is amazing, so much better than it used to be leaving all nostalgia aside. Would recommend looking at modern shaped decks if you get back to it, some really nice ones about. Riding a 9.25" Anti Hero Jeff Grosso now and loving it. Black Label (Lucero's company), Welcome and Death (if you're UK) all do nice boards in the wider widths.
terrabun gregvance I stopped skating for 2 years almost but then i started again and Idk why i ever did. Im only 22 years old but man, i had forgotten how much fun it was to just skate for run.
*****
I had to scale back my expectations because of this. I used to skate vert ramps but now 5'-8' bowls are my limit and even then it scares the crap out of me regularly. Broke a rib 2 weeks on, slammed heavily a few times but got away with it so far. Yeah it's tougher on us, bu fuck sitting around getting old. Sounds like you had a real nasty bit of luck, some falls like that are just unavoidable.. been knocked out for an hour and smashed up on a vert ramp as a kid. see how it is when you're recovered, take it easy.. skate smaller and slower and love it for what you can do now, not trying to be Hosoi again :P
That's a real skateboarder. Getting old and still rolling. Doesn't stop at 30 to go on with all the commercial skateboard bussiness. Just keep rolling. Damn, that deserves some respect.
Steve's always had such a mellow flow, it's calming.
I put some change in his parking meter once, super nice guy.
im so happy that i met him this year and hes one of the nicest and friendliest guy ive ever met :) ! hes such a good person
Agree met him in the 80's and again in 96. Chill down to earth guy.
Still on Powell. So sick!
Your gay
You're*
FHRITPskate Nope. Sorry.
1:11 that guy got left hanging
He's just the sensei of all skaters, the MASTER!
all right Steve, 50 and still going strong, sk8 legend 💘 .
I like how he still uses rib bones..I haven't had those on a deck since maybe 89 or 90.. hell I didn't know you could still get them
andy anderson still uses them so they are making a come back.
@@Jack-xy4fy 8 years later xD
so awesome that he's still skating.
Thank you for inventing the half cab and the full cab. Thumbs this up
The Cab doing full cab. Awesome as fuck.
Those are not Rib Bones as far as I can tell LOL. Maybe Enjoi or similar...
Cool video Mr Cab. Thx.
cab looks so effortless when he skates its like he floats
i so badly wanted to see him do his "full Cab"....amazing!!!!
@SeverFromWithin its all about personal preference and yes if you ride a lager board whitch most people do indys will make it harder to get the complete rotation and the ussually are a bit heavier than silver or other trucks
Theron bone rails are used for slicker rail slides and also so you don't mess your graphic on the deck !
the inventor of the vans half cab
1:11 that camera man left hangin
Legend
S curve grinds are rare raadness
Only guy out of the 80's. Bones Brigade to never leave. Now thats dedication. He could of broke away from Powell and started his own thing like all the rest of the skaters back then...he chose loyalty.
Cab is so awesome and always will be
For a 50yr old that's crazy.
Once you learn it's just like riding a bike ;)
Tony hawk
There's a dude at my park that rips vert and he's 62 years old
This is late but vert skating is a lot easier on the legs so you can do it longer
Saac idk when skating bowls or halfpipes for a while it hurts my knees more than street
Everybody loves Cab
never knew that hes really that old but dude he s the man
What is the song in the background at the very beginning?
mgmt-kids
Cab is as cool as fuck. What a super nice guy.
a real legend
indy 159 or 169?
steve has such clean bowl skating
such a nice guy
What truck size?
fav skater of all time
if you mean the sticker its written fine, on the first part of the video its written wrong.
I wonder what size wheels he is riding? Maybe 60mm? Looks like he's using a 1/4" riser probably.
nice board!!! where can i buy one?
THATS COOL YOU HAVE YOUR OWN WHEELS NOW.
What r those orange things on his board for?
Just a little advice/Tipp to all younger real 🛹'er outta there who really love this great sport‼️: …
When you become older & Life steals you the time for all those things like a full-time job, having a own family, etc., etc., …
PLEASE go skateboarding minimum 1 - 2 Days a week & don’t stop‼️
Otherwise you will regret it sooner or later because you recognize that you lost the skills & have to learn almost everything completely new.
This is what I really regret =/ … never stop skating completely‼️✌🏼
i never really understood what the rails are for. do they just help for sliding or what?
slides and grabs
Less friction than the deck. You slide faster and smoother as well as keeping your graphic nice. Rails moved out of skating when street become more popular due to getting caught up on uneven ledges as well as the fact that people liked having a worn deck to prove they were skating hard. Rails are still favoured by bowl skaters for their smooth riding and grooves which lock into the edge of a pool or bowl every time.
Most people just buy them to protect their Graphic when they're doing like lip & Board slides
they also protect the graphics and the bottom side of your board if you care about them
Back when people wanted a cool board to last cos they had better things to do than unnecessarily replacing boards every 4 mths! Plus smooth on slides coping etc. Inverts and handplants were more popular in the early 80's and these helped! Gloves/wrist guards also worn back then. Stopped the leather slipping when doing these plants.
What size are those risers 1/4 ?
What independent trucks were they? Were wondering if my 149's would fit with an old school skateboard (maybe with risers)
GuitarGod1512 Prob not a 9,5 , i would say you need at least about 169s, but some boards are more narrow at the truck ends. So have a look at the shape. Skateboard Warehouse has a recommended truck size for some boards, maybe go check that out.
whts tht song called?
Lol he says rib bones when they're pig rails xP
Hahahah that photographer...
1:11 HIGH FIVE DENIED
i love half cabs
well that board is 10¨wide, so my guess is that those trucks are 169 or even 180s
@Fanariii but he can still rock a old school board
how long to rails usally last
It depends on how thick the rail is, rib bones are like an inch while pig rails are a half inch. Pig rails wear out even on steel coping or handrails while rib bones dont yet pig rails slide better but don't last as long but it of course also depends on how often you do tricks involving the rails.
***** well if you love doing slide and rolls all the time on transition especially on pool coping it wont take long for pig rails to die in less than a few days, but it really depends how often u use the rails in ur tricks
MGMT "kids" playing in the background at the beginning!! 🖒🖒
Worn out rails ? I'd just flip them around 🤘

SHORT CHUBBY ASIAN
lol watch my videos
I did, you suck.
im better than you lol
Yeah, no youre not lol
you cant ollie 7 stair
Steve you're a bit to old to be skating mate come on rest it up 😂😂😂
And he'll still probably trounce you anywhere on a board. Don't hate bro! Celebrate the fact people can still do it at his age. You wanna give up just because of a number when you get to his age?
You're never too old to skate, especially when you shred like Cab.
billygaming 1 Just because you want to live a mediocre life don't press it on anyone else. This is fucking amazing. This should inspire you and you managed to make it negative.
the fuck?
So smooth... I could watch Cab skate all day long. So much style
Legend
steve your set up is rad
Gotta love that he does a cab' at 1:07 :)
THUMBS IF YOU RIDE INDIES
Steve C is one of the legends in skateboarding history so your newborn skaters may not be familiar with him, Bowl and pool skating was the "in" thing on those times. Those orange things are plastic sliders so that the coping or pool ledge will not mess up or eat up your board. Steve still enjoy using those old school hardware on his new school setup.
I like ool ledges. Those Pool ledges have p in them.
hes that old and still skates a pool better than me
@56metaknight Yeap ! Nothing but respect for him !
Nice Cab is still the man!
I wish skateboarding these days wasn't about tech.
Fuck yea I ride all old powell signatures I fucking love them. Made skating 100 times better and fun for me
at 1:10 cab left the guy hanging
@skate4life9898 you should quit skateboarding if you think indys are too heavy
Been looking for this deck for awhile..no dice
Their wearing a helmet and pads like a real skater
