You killed it broski. Tip for baggy pants in case you don't know is where rubberbands at the ankles of your pants to keep em from dragging on the ground.
I just got this deck in today. I love the artwork on it. My riding days are numbered so Im def not doing any tricks but I agree. The shorter wheel bases always seemed a little easier to handle as far as flips go
nice one could you please elaborate on short vs long wheelbase ? pros and cons as I'm quite new to sb since last year (while spending my young times skating that was not a topic of interest..) thanks 👍
Of course, A shorter wheel base is going to make it easier to turn and to get your board around. When the wheel base is longer, it makes the board more stable - think about a longboard, when you ride a longboard it's really steady but you cant make nearly as quick of a turn as you can on a shorter board. Does that help at all?
can't think of another industry where someone from a big company would release a product promo video where half the footage is of a lesser-known friend riding a "rival" company's product... it's very endearing! nice one santa cruz.
@@AndrewCannonYes it's lovely to see. The fun is self evident! Bought my son a Santa Cruz complete for Christmas, 7.8 screaming hand. Perfect wheelbase and shape. He loves it.
HEY GUYS BIG FAN! I’m buying that same deck today and I’m wondering what size ACE truck to get for it since it’s an 8.8. Would it be a 8.75? Or a 9” truck?
this sounds good but i think i'd want more nose, 7"+. my widest board right now is 8.25", i used to ride 7.5"-8.125" in the '90s and 8.5" seemed unrideable back then. i'm 6'3, 230, size 12 shoes, and i really like the extra width and stability. i'm much more about the comfort and quality of the ride than anything else these days. i think i'd like the extra strength and stiffness too
I was skating a bank next to Java Joe’s in OB in 95’. And some kid who was grabbing a coffee asked to grab my board. He would Ollie grab/ full extended judo and finger flip land. I kept on making him do it and he’s like “Man it kinda hurts..lol”. Then 5 minutes later some kid was like Rob Roskopp was just skating here. I was like ‘Whatever’.. Just never put it together that the kid that used my board was him until 15 years later! 🤣
Not a fan of the material on the bottom I haven't gotten used to that grinding sound it makes when you board slide rails it's kind of distracting.. I love the shapes tho
Always a good time! Thanks for including me!
Big love Brad!! 🙌

@@SantaCruzSkateboards you guys need to put that dude on the team
These videos made me a massive fan of Andrew Cannon, what a legend?!🔥
Big Legend! Check out The Big Dawg's "It's Your World" part if you haven't already! th-cam.com/video/LaBWYZJjy8s/w-d-xo.html 💥
@@SantaCruzSkateboards that varial flip intro is legendary!
Baggy Brad LOL 😂 love it! Mid 90’s poofy shoes… surprisingly don’t fly off his feet when flipping in or out.
That's the power of the eS Accel OGs!

Everybody had Covid lately (including myself). Glade to see Andrew back healthy and doing challenges I love watching.
In Germany i had it 3 times and still alive 🤙🏼
@@GCRapandBeatz damn! 3 times? I’m barely just getting over having covid for the first time.
Glad you're back out after COVID! I love the product challenge videos.
No place we'd rather be! Stoked to be back 🙌
Riding this board now and in love. Perfect tail for 360 flips IMO. Love you too Andrew.
Same as my 8.8 Creature stump that I love
Those Stumps boards are legit! S/O The Fiends 😈
Glad you're back and feeling better
Love that graphic!
Might need one for the wall!
🙌🙌🙌

Andrew is absolutely amazing.

Yeah that's perfect, make sense definitely 👍
I find short wheelbase better for Switch 180s especially bs & high ollie, but you can get better flips with longer length.
VX deck challenge. Deck check nose manny nollie flip out
Thst board set up fits you perfect.
The skating intro
🤯🤯🤯
AC is such a killer on the board!!!

We're all skaters just having fun. Chocolate is a rad company and Brad is a great dude.

Andrew stickin that back tail❤️🔥
EVERSLICK is stong AF love those boards
yeeewwww!!!!!!
Early squad in the house! 💯
@@SantaCruzSkateboards ill pull over in the car to watch these lol cheers from the Canadian west coast boys
Good chance I try this deck out next
Excellent deck! I've got that board and it's super! IMHO it has a too much steep tail (I have to reboot my muscles memory), but in the end it's fine🍻
Is it a pointy shape ?
Best Board ever 😍
Where’d you go Andrew Canon? Haven’t seen a new video in a while. 😢
HEY GUYS BIG FAN! I’m buying that same deck today and I’m wondering what size ACE truck to get for it since it’s an 8.8. Would it be a 8.75? Or a 9” truck?
Wanna see you ride 169's some day. Nice video 😀
Sick graphic 🛹
Anyone have this board with an Indy 169 setup? I like to see a bit o wheel there.. lol
this sounds good but i think i'd want more nose, 7"+. my widest board right now is 8.25", i used to ride 7.5"-8.125" in the '90s and 8.5" seemed unrideable back then. i'm 6'3, 230, size 12 shoes, and i really like the extra width and stability. i'm much more about the comfort and quality of the ride than anything else these days. i think i'd like the extra strength and stiffness too
I am 6 foot and wear a 13. I absolutely love 8.5 but I do not like the short wheel base. I just can’t get used to it.
Those back tails looked buttery
What times is this place so empty like this video??
Is that setup heavy?
If not 169s... any other truck out there that could fit more like a 8.8-9” axel?
I’d say go for 159 if u don’t want 169, feel like u are more flexible with 159s.
@@edwin6897 Bah.. I settled on ace 77s (9”) I wanna see some wheel. Feels great!
169
What do you do with the boards you test?
Donate them to Skate After School.
