- This is kinda like a day in my life but of course not every single day is like this. It's different every day and it depends on what I do but for the most part it's usually the same.
Hopefully more adventure like this and hopefully I can get other people in my videos besides just me.
Would you come skate with me?

Would you skate with me?
#skate #skateboard #skateboarding
Who wouldnt
I would def skate with you
Yeah
@@duckbeevr4206 excactly
Ofc! :D
Man this is so good I totally relate because I used to have people to skate with but now since I’ve gotten into high school we don’t really hang out anymore and I really miss those days thanks for making this this really meant a lot
Well go to the skatepark and meet people. way more friends to be had outside of your school. just be personable and talk to people.
I have the same exact problem but there is never anyone at my local skate park besides the often little kid running up the ramp and drug addicts so I cant find skate friends and it's tough
@@ontheballpaintball541 lol
I just wish I had friends in general 💀
but on a serious note, having friends to skate with really does impact your skating experience. They keep you motivated and you have a blast.
Don’t be afraid to go out and talk to people that are skating near by you guys, they could be a perfect friend for you and you just don’t know it yet :)
I’m extremely self conscious when skating, even if no one’s around (since I’m a beginner and push awkwardly). But I hung out with my friend who somehow got me to skate more lively areas and it’s really weird how that works! We’re gonna spend go skate day together this year
im literally an 11 year old girl.
Same
This guy was the reason I started skating. For a long time I just kinda stayed away from people who skated and the parks because I didn’t think I was good enough. Thank you for helping me understand that it doesn’t matter weather your good or bad just as long as you have fun. Love you man your contents dope!
same
everybody is bad at the beginning, practice makes the master
@@bundesmostfinestent hmmm
I met someone skating today and we talked then skated around till the sun set then headed back. It was nice as someone who's been skating mostly alone for a while. We talked about what we loved about skating, different falls we had, girls lol, etc, it was nice. I learned there are other skaters out there who just wanna cruise around maybe grind some fun tricks together and chill, just gotta get out there and find them sometimes. Keep skating, keep grinding, eventually you'll bump into another board just dont be afraid to say hello :))
@Daniels dude fr
same man, just cruising is so fun haha
I'm almost 29 now, and I definitely feel you on this one. Through the years everyone gets busy and you kinda lose motivation to skate when all your friends stop. Its still fun skating solo but you never really learn as fast or have as much fun by yourself.
Imma be completely honest I wish I did too. I need some skater friends
fuapp 🤘🏼
I don’t even have friends in general bruh
Same bro
@@feverr._ tbh it's not that bad
Same😢
I'm nowhere near a new skater. But youre a really good kid & you got a pure heart. You love skateboarding. All the above are why I tune in. Major respect.
Yo wavy this was a dope video you're truly inspiring. I hope someday i build up the courage to make my own content. The stuff you're doing is genuine and i think its awesome. Have a good day and stay up bro!!!
This entire video was relatable. Like especially the ending when u just show how u clean ur room & went out to that restaurant.. Feel like youre me in a alternate universe or something. I'd skate with you when I go on my road trip
i really like these types of videos, they're very chill and relatable. Wouldnt mind if there was more stuff like this on the channel
Relatable except for the insane tricks
@@efemerality just means u gotta get like him 😌
your attitude for life inspires me every time. you re so happy in each video. i m strongly believe that you re very good person and i would be very happy to be friends with a man like you. BE HAPPY!
"I wish I had skate friends"... you do, we just not there in person. Love you skate brother.
I feel this. I started skating when i was 11 years old and everyone in my group of friends skated so we always had people and friends hanging at the local park to skate with. Skateboarding gave me so much more joy than anything else during my teen years but as time went by everyone lost interest, started doing other things and eventually quit skateboarding. Can't blame them thus I at age 19 did the same and my board started to rot in the garage it is still at this date. I am 26 now. Skating with good friends hits so different.
Me too, my friends don’t try to go out of their comfort zones, they rather sit in the house to play video games, or go out to party Saturday nights
We could be friends bud! You got a vision and I equally appreciate being one of the few with the least amount of footage till I took it myself. I have no problems organizing ideas and executing ideas. Core skating is definitely different these days. I remember typing this title some months before and always wondered where people were consistent. TH-cam is the best platform to establish that strength. Looking forward to more!
Fr man, its difficult finding someone to skate with. Recently bugged my friend enough for him to join me though. You'll find your skater friend eventually.
I feel you, it’s not easy to find skater friends as a person who’s 29 and started skating at 25. You make super comfy videos and I’m sure it would be very nice to go and skate with you!
definitely wish I could skate with you! love the content
You inspired me to just get out to a skatepark wafter a year and a half of using it with cruiser wheels to get around campus. Thank you so much man for getting me into this🙏🏽
I skated with a group of friends for a couple of years and I loved it the thing was they were all older than me by a couple of years and eventually graduated high school and went to collage. No one around my age skates in my area so I would skate with friends over the summer but that was it and we never really pushed each other, around a month ago or a little before school started for me me and a group of friends have started skating almost every day and we push off each other and feed of that energy, it really made skating more fun for me and I noticed I immediately started learning tricks I never would have thought I could do. Skating with a group of people can really be a game changer, I almost quit a couple of times but now I'm glad I stuck through it. I hope you can find some people that can skate and hang out with soon. Also the I got a T-Shirt Folder 9000 in the same colorway and It works like magic 10/10 would recommend.
I feel u dude, creating alone is fun but can be lonely sometimes~
Hey there! Just wanted to say that your videos are awesome. Everytime i watch one of your videos it just makes me want to go out and skate.
I used to have friends who used to play on the skateboard, but now they've gone and left me all alone
ngl i only have like a few skate buddies.. by few i mean like, one friend that goes with me usually cause we're near each other. the others are just 2 or 3. other than that i just know people that skate (know as in people ive talked to but not considered as friends.. not parasocial relationships)
im lucky to have friends and that im able to socialize, its a rlly nice ability/skill(?) ive never noticed until highschool
tho sometimes i wish i was able to actively talk to people rather than people approach me and me continuing the conversation. most of the people i talk to are people that approached me or my skate bud approaching them and i continue the conversation together
anyway besides that, sometimes i wish i had a nice group of skate buddies. i always thought it was ungrateful to wish for these things cause these type of wishes require *you*. but i saw this video and i guess i shouldnt beat myself up for little things. but on social media, which i guess is meant to drain you from the actual nice things in life and makes u wish for more, i always see groups of skate friends hanging out and doing stupid shit like using a fire extinguisher to push urself while skating (ykwim) and stuff like that is seems so fun to do with friends. again i never noticed myself having the ability to actually socialize until highschool so i always thought that i was a "lone wolf" and i was an edgy introvert.. spoiler, im not and im happy that im not cause if i continued with that mindset, id be hella lonely and being alone isnt my type of thing.
i think this is just a rant but js somethin ive been thinking of for a bit.
I feel this. I started skating again (not that I was good before), but I can't get motivated to keep skating or practicing because I get bored skating alone.
loving the realness of this video i feel like im living in it.
Absolutely feel like this.... Everyday.... All you can do is just get out there, keep skateboarding.
I used to skate when i was 13-14...wonderful times...anyway, now i'm 43 and i have two kids of 7 and 9 that are starting to skate and i'm really happy because now i can start over to skate with them 😁
I feel you man, even though I don’t have a skate channel, I wish I had friends who skated.
Try to get your current friends (if you have any) to go and skate with you. They'll either hate it or love it so give it a shot :D
the music-timed editing is so satisfying
You know I was feelin kinda down today, but thanks for this relatable vid! It's fun to have my solitude and do solo activities but sometimes it feels like this.
Totally feel you man. As a scooter rider I have even less in common with 98% of people I see at skate parks. It just makes it that much harder to relate because I always feel like an outsider.
Man your room is so sick! Also the dog is cute
The way he was landing his board in sync with the beats🤤
As an older guy, I feel this. All in all for me, skating is my exercise, my challenge to learn something new, hone my skills and overcome my fears. But it would be nice to have a friend or two at the park. Mainly it's brief interaction with the other adult skaters and keeping my head on the swivel for grommits but I'm still there doing my own thing.
I surfskate, so I'm the only one there doing what I do so that's isolating a little as well. On the other hand I'm a bit of an attraction looking like I'm surfing my way around the park. I feel cool for once in my life and that's something that brings a smile to my face.
I'm not the most skilled rider, I'll get there in time. I'm content with my own progression, but it would be nice to have some company along the way
2:13 the fact this was on beat is so satisfying 😌
Bro you got me, man I always go outside and I look your vids men, trust me when I say that I learn how to skate watching your vids and you are there.
bro, loved it, watched till the end, keep grinding brother.. congrats on your bro also :)
To all who still skate with a crew or with the homies. I suggest treasure each moment.
My crew one by one gave up and some died due to complications and cancer, Its hard to skate on a harsh environment alone.
Wish I did too its always weird at the skatepark when I'm alone
This is the first video of his I’m seeing, it’s already awesome this guy just seems so down to earth
Thing is, a lot of our generation got stuck in the same boat.
I just recently made a couple new friends by
1. walking up to the random skater and getting their instagram first
2. the next day dm them "where are you skating today", or something similar
3. use the next skate session to try and talk with them more, buy drinks or eat together.
It's hit/miss if you find someone that likes everything you like, but if they do then you can even hang out outside of skateboarding.
I also try to make sure I'm outside as much as possible, or maybe messaging people often.
I used to wonder why things weren't going my way with dating till i realized i read manga 5 hours a day and played games for the remaining hours.
A lot of men and women are dying for interaction, especially after 30 cause most of their friends are either set into a career, married, or troubled.
I wish i did too, but ur videos actually inspire me so much. I started my own yt channel because of ur videos and i post about fitness/skateboarding and everything else i do. Keep it up man! 🔥
As an adult who started skating at 30, finding skate friends feels impossible, I get it. A lot of solo seshes and a lot of slams I’m lucky weren’t worse. It’d be nice to have somebody to learn and develop with outside of TH-cam content creators. Either way, thanks for what you do, brother.
Yeah right, I wish I had a park all to myself like you do here lmao.
Edit: all jokes aside, you’re sonically talented, the synchronization of song and skating was great (especially on that back 180) I have no doubt that people will catch on and join you to skate soon.
Having friends that skate makes a huge difference, I definitely wouldn’t be where I am in skating without my mate
I would love to see more videos like this. It's really a vibe
dude this is the story of my life lol I feel like I'm not good enough to hang around with other skaters so I isolate myself and skate alone instead of going to the local skatepark where I could maybe meet people
Same man I'm lonely af. I still enjoy skating but it gets demotivating always skating alone
its all about having fun man. if you ever find yourself in Madison, WI for whatever reason id love to skate with a cool guy like you. Keep up these awesome videos!
I really enjoyed this video. It felt raw and genuine so thank you!
Bro trust me behind the camera ur friends are there for ya jack, maguire and all the others supporting u
why are your videos so good? love you and your videos man! thanksss
clean kickflips down the bank, also love the vibe of this video!
I'm 29 and have never skated in my life...
Several months ago, well, Autumn, a mate gave me an old board... I tried it out, fell on my ass a few times too lol then I showed one of my other friends and he pointed out how unsafe the board was... basically rusty, needed new wheels, trucks, etc and the grip tape had no grip! I researched different boards, trucks, wheels, etc as well as gear, and couldn't make up my mind on a board.
Then I found a brand new complete at a loan shop... by Almost. It was a steal! Haven't heard much about the brand but for the price, and as a starter board, I thought I couldn't go wrong! Yet the weather got worse as it segwayed into Winter so I didn't end up using it.
I've just ordered a pair of Vans as I don't have many sneakers (one pair for exercise and a pair of chucks that I don't want getting shredded). And I've decided to forgo pads and a helmet for the moment as I'm only learning the basics.
I haven't as much enthusiasm as I had when I bought the board, and while I'm thin, I'm definitely not fit. I'm a bit of a scaredy cat too... so I've got to motivate myself as it's Spring now, and the weather will be getting better. And while I'm confident with talking to strangers in public or at parties, I'm shy when it comes to trying something new and having people watch me...
I do have a friend who skates and a while ago he let me try out his board (months ago when I showed him that old one) but he wanted me to do things I wasn't yet confident doing yet, like skating down an incline when I haven't even mastered tic tacking let alone turning smoothly. So I don't really want to skate with him. I haven't anyone else to skate with and being shy I don'twant people to see me yet... so I'm going to go in the evenings to a local school or the reservoir as there aren't any skate parks nearby.
I'm hoping that I'll get my enthusiasm back as I learn and accomplish challenges but it will be a lonely pursuit... to start with anyways... eventually I may make friends at a skate park, who knows! But for now I'd be too embarassed and worried I'd get in people's way to even attempt skating at a park.
Just waiting for my shoes to arrive and the weather to clear up and then I'm off! No more excuses like "I don't have the right shoes" or "my board is old and manky" lol I just need to do it... motivation comes after action!
I feel for you though; it would be really nice if I had a friend who was starting out too so we could both goof off and learn together... oh, that reminds me! My skating style is goofy... obviously I've had f*** experience but I've tried both ways and it just feels better... I feel more unbalanced if I try with the other foot.
If anone has any tips, I'd be really grateful! Until then, I'll just keep watching skate videos!
The death note on this desk: 🗿🍷
bro i would 100% be ur skate friend, but i live in eu u inspired me to start skating and i remember watching ur pop shuv tutorials and now here i am kickflipping off stuff and doing grinds
felt. i never have anyone to skate with most of the time so i usually just go skate by myself
I love your videos so much keep up the good work I wish I had one too thank you for teaching me how to skate and kick flip means a lot ❤😁
Nothing hurts like the squad breaking up! Tuff times, you keep shreddin on, with only memories. To all my solo kings out there, Ride or Die!
Me to sometimes it’s fun having none but man I wish I knew so more people
Thanks for the shoelaces rec, those look pretty sick! Also yeah I'd skate with you fr... If only the weather would chill tf down lolll.
These types of videos hit different
Wavy I’m 12 and I started skating and I love your videos thank you so much for making them keep on making them
the way you matched the tricks with the song is just 👌perfect
This goes for any hobby you don't have friends that enjoy. No one to talk about it with, no one to compete with, no one to practice with, no one to collab with
You'll find some skater friends one day. I wish I had skater friends to, although I haven't really gone to any skate parks yet because I am still new to skating and want to learn to ollie and get more comfortable on my board before I go to a skatepark.
I would totally be skater friends with you. Your room is amazing and I love your videos!!
Bruh the last couple of minutes of this vid after the park part. Great video inspirational
This vid was sick!!! Hope to see more of these in the future but i the mean time just keep shredding 🖤
Really good video… i love this type of video
When he said "the one piece is real" It made me have a huge smile on my face :)
Your not alone. I really need skater friends too
I have one skater friend and he told me ever I needed helped me get my first board and is gonna teach me everything I need to know bc he is more experienced than me but I’m glad I’m friends with him
Hey wavy I want to start skating again this Summer and just want tell you that you are a great Person I love your vids and you really inspire me
just shortly after that little rainfall, the sun started to shine once again
Dude I swear they should put you in charge of Braille. Better content than John Hill. Authentic personality, no ego, no pretentiousness, accessible skating, relatability. You peel back the curtain of what it's really like to be a skater rather than the image people sell and portray in media.
Fr Ive been skating for years and thought I’d naturally meet people by just going to parks and stuff. Every time I go to parks tho usually no one’s there except for maybe a scooter kid or two. I even asked around at my school but no one skateboards there either. Guess there isn’t very many skaters in my area. I still love skateboarding though. The best thing that happened to me was stepping on that board fr.
I'm about to start skating soon and i'm asking as many of my friends who don't already skate to start with me, because I feel like i'm definitely gonna need something to push me to keep going sometimes.
I love your vids. they are always so well put together!
Same here man I’m like the only one of the homies still skating shit sucks when you go to all the spots that we used to shred together
Wish I had skater friends too but skate videos like yours help
This hits the feels ❤️🔥
I did too at a point. I got fed up and just made my friends start
4:20 Yoooooo, Kingdom Hearts and Death Note?
Your house is so stylish! Love it 😍
Yo, you actually sold me on that Tshirt folder. I have an actual Tshirt problem and suck at folding. Same MALM dresser too.
this my first time watching you and at the beginning when you opened your trunk i was like he’s a got a bmw fr cause that’s what my trunk sounds like🤣💯
Ik bro It’s tough without having friends 😔
Ay Wavy, try to get your friends to start skating, that's what I did. Used to go to my local park and just skate with the either 11 or 30 year old lads there. It's way more fun to skate with people you hang with regularly though, teaching them the basics is also really fun!
You’re by far my favorite skater on TH-cam right now and have inspired me to get back into it, so I’m sorry for asking but what are the name of your pants? I’ve been trying to find a pair of whatever they’re called for so long now but I just don’t know the name. Anyways great video, I loved the tour and the chill voice over
make ur current friends skate. it’s the best way. that’s how i started to skate with my friends 🙏
Check out "2 second t-shirt fold" technique. It's how I've folded my shirts for the last 10 years
As a adult it's hard to find people that still enjoy skating
Me too I feel you,but hey we still keep skateboarding! 🙏🔥💯💪
My lil brother started skating about 3 years ago and I just started about 4 months ago. Almost every time we skate we always land on the subject of how he almost quit skating bc he had no friends that skated and also just couldn’t land any trick other than Ollies and 180 Ollies. And even now we talk about how it would b more fun if we had a couple of more ppl with us.
Same thing here, sucks how hard it is to find a friend to skate with.
dude if i lived in vegas i'd be so down to skate with you
same bro, i practice on a gas station and sometimes get scold by the manager. kinda sad but i won't let it get in the way of fun.❤️ if only we live in the same neighborhood we could go skateboarding on weekends or free time
