- This video is of me skateboarding around Nairobi, Kenya, showing you guys a bit of the city and also giving you my first thoughts on the Pantheon Pranayama.
Also, some of the information in this video is inaccurate and cringe. I adlibbed the entire thing after skating. IDK, having to talk for 20minutes when I was tired made me say some shitty jokes and spill some cringe, so yeah. Please be kind lol

Totally understood. You've ridden in places I'd not even think about. The traffic was very similar to India. I was totally able to relate to it . Very Inspiring , Great riding skills :) I got chills & goose bumps at few moments :) Incredibly thrilling video :) Keep making more :) Keep riding & inspire many :)
Actually it was great to get a spur of the moment commentary. It felt real; about as close to a live recording as possible. If you’d waited and scripted yourself that feel might have been lost. Thanks for the tour! I appreciated the location mentions; looked them up on google maps when you called them out. As other said, you are freaking brave to ride those roads with those cars so close and crazy driving so common. Master-level footbraking in effect! You did the prana justice in the review. A (40k?) demonstration ride through multiple challenging conditions says more than more words could have said about the capability of the board.
Really enjoyed the tour man. You have a lot of guts skating through traffic specially highways. If I were the one driving I'll shout at you. You're crazy! But nonetheless it really shows what pranayama capable of going through smooth surface and dirt.
Yeah, not alot of options but the highway. If they made bike paths things would be a lot better and safer
I came for the skateboard review but stayed for the Nairobi tour. The city is gorgeous, reminds me of the streets back home in Addis. You've got balls of steel to manoeuvre the roads like that, I'd be so stressed out.
I'm still stressed out ngl ... but along the way I've gotten used to it and sort of know what is safe and isn't ... adds to the excitement alil
This video is AWESOME and the first one I've seen of touring a city while on a skateboard. Since I ride streets regularly back in the U.S. it really gives me a real feeling as a skater of Nairobi. I think many big cities are like this worldwide especially when it come to cars interacting with human powered vehicles. If you watch the Broadway Bomb race in N.Y. you can see this too.
Awesome video! Im honestly super impressed how confidently you handled all that sketchy traffic and literally skating on the highway. Thanks for taking us on a tour!
Really enjoy seeing this skate around the city with your voiceover narration. Allows viewers to see another part of the world with real life people not just tourist highlights.
A tour, with a history lesson, and as always, a solid technical review. Oh yeah!
This video is what makes you tube great in my opinion. You can't see shit like this anywhere else. Loved seeing your city man, and the commentary had me laughing. I couldn't skate on a road like that, you're insane bro.
I really like your unique style of making the video, very interesting to watch, when you just cruise around and describe different places in the city. I like that you don't hide the truth, you show it like it really is. Nairobi is pretty nice tho. Make more videos like that.
This is pure chaoss 🙃 I wouldn't survive five minutes in this traffic..
Great video, you've got foot braking down to a fine art, thanks for the tour. All the best from Fishguard in Wales. 😀
This was really cool. Would love to visit one day.
Awesome video. Enjoyed all aspects very much, and your voice over work is great. Thanks for the tour.
Loved the tour of Nairobi. So hectic in the cbd. Felt so relaxed at the end when you're on the bus & see the nice building onwards.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting to see your surroundings and get a feel of the land around Nairobi. I'm definitely up to see some more ldp around your area.
Many cities here in Mexico are are quite car centric and the people drive aggressively. I would get stressed (or die) cruising around my city like that. Nairobi looks beautiful though. It is so green.
You need a sponsorship my friend. Great video!
This one was really good. Loved the part when you grabbed on to that pickup. Marty Mcfly style.
Totally awesome great way to escape, explore a bit and see something new Everytime.
Waiting for my board from eBay just like yours!
Great vid Bugsy..........loved the tour of Nairobi
Wow you are one brave skater, stay safe, loving your videos regards Ardy from South Australia 👍👍
Damn the bad roads and paths there are just like where I live in Arizona lmao good to know 85mm is enough to handle it, I was thinking I might need to get 100mm wheels.
get this guy more views, he doesn't miss with these videos. You also learn a little bit of where he lives which is cool
just watched the whole vid. really enjoyed it!
Great video! Wonderful to be able to see a city from a skater’s perspective, and learn more about the Nairobi in general. Thank you and keep making these!
Awesome video, thank you!
I got myself a Loaded Pantheon Trip Collab - also a "double drop" - and like your board - I have 85 mm wheels but still so easy push and sooooo low to the ground. Can't wait to explore my city (Berlin) - we have quite some bike paths there. Really enjoy your video and a look into your life where and how you live! Also like how you showed how you footbrake - because in the city you won't do a slide or so.
Awesome video man.
That’s such a great video
Wow amazing ride. Makes me feel pretty spoiled for smooth/clean pavement and light traffic. Congrats for making it happen despite the challenges. BTW - pushing with the front and rear foot isn't skogging. Skogging is a lot more complicated than that.
Crazy how much distance you cover in the city vs having a car. I would hate to drive out there
I think you should do some "investigating" too.
Paris TKPs aren't very turny especially for a TKP, you can make this board very turny with the right trucks. Cool video tho I like this style of videos, good change of pace from the downhill reviews 👍
really? What are some more turny RKPs I can get? Apart from Bennets ... hehe
@@LongboardingExplained Pretty much any street trucks turn better than Paris lol, I like Indys I have them on my Zenit AB Maze and it was a huge upgrade over the Paris tkps
This or comet?? For just surfing on land
I love your channel
🤙🏼 *Beautiful board, beautiful country!* 🤙🏼
I love those Dextro tablets but I end up eating them like sweets, one after another 😂
I got a Pantheon Trip with RKP trucks but all these pics and videos got me wantin a Prana with TKP trucks!
I got 165mm Paris on my Trip, those 150mm trucks on your Prana? Damn they look narrow 👀
Foot braking is so damn cool but I've seen a guy brake usin his heel on a back wheel, handy when you would rather wear the wheel down than your shoe 😂
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the 88 McFly vs the Otang Caguama! I love my blue cags, some people said McFlys felt sotfter on rough ground so good to hear a differing opinion.
You are a brave man! Seein some of the drivin there makes me nervous 😂🤣
Still need to try the Hasppy thane vs 88wheelco thane. I will be doing a kegel vs Mavericks for the review so yeah
I have 149mm trucks on the prana, or whatever came stock ...
@@LongboardingExplained Ooo I look forward to that wheel comparison!! Looove me some happy thane
is this a good board for a beginner?
What glue do you use to glue your Freebrake soles on your shoes?
Just loctite super glue. I used like a bottle on each side then touch up when an edge lifts up once in a while
New sub ❤️✌️❤️
Not sure if it's allowed there, but wouldn't you prefer and electric board with like big ass alle terrain wheels like the exway atlas or smt? (If the price isn't an issue offc) usually I like skating manually more, but idk, seeing what you have to deal with it seems like the better choice to me
Nice video tho. Loved your review!!
I've never ridden an electric board, or like all terrain wheels so I can't comment on that :( It would be nice for riding around though ngl. I do nbeed to buil and electric skateboard though, long time coming but needs to happen
@@LongboardingExplained it's fun, as long as it's dry. Actually with at wheels it's less bad when it's wet, but still (they're like small bicycle wheels)
Do you like the mcfly more than the kegels?
I have both, and yes. I love my mcfly wheels. Kegels are good for dh, but for ldp or cruising the 88 wheels are far superior. Also the urethane quality is higher.
@@chrissy.v damn nice thanks. Isnt the mcfly 86mm tho? Also its for well just cruising to campus and to classes its like a 1.5km or a mile or going to the gym like 2.5 miles 4km idk what you would consider that (new skater idk how long is considered ldp)
@@ayrebhalsabe7404 usually I would say that's just commuting and cruising. The mcflys are 86 mm, so you need to have the right board for them. What board are you riding rn? (Or considering)
@@chrissy.v i have just one board right now its a landyachtz battle axe 38 it should def fit. Getting a new board soon deciding between a dancer or dh one.
@@ayrebhalsabe7404 oh cool I also got a battle axe 38. When im home I can try if the mcflys fit if you want. Personally I think kegels are a better fit for the battle axe tho (currently rocking them on there too). If you wanna upgrade boards maybe look into loaded, pantheon or zenit boards. They're all solid choices and i think a step up in quality and finish from landyachtz
8:20 intresting
them Mcfly's are pretty sweet, eh?
very fast, but want to try the Mavericks. I'm not so sure on 85mm being good for the type of skating I'm doing ... I think 80m might be the sweet spot
damage someone's windscreen and be responsible for a pileup that sounds No Good Man 😂
Go shower and relax you deserve it, you gave us a tour on your board, amazing and beautiful.
Why does Nairobi have a bunch of dirt piles & piles of rocks all over the place? Love the skate-video though.
Left overs from construction, or dirt being cleared from ditches
@@LongboardingExplained But nobody removes it? haha, too much clutter for a city.
@@oliverjackson5070 And where are you from if i might ask?
@@Tata-bd9nx North America.
@@oliverjackson5070 Which country in North America?
