Ben, I have an important question, how do you recommend to do your sessions if you want to become more consistent with your tricks? Whenever I skate I land every trick I already have thrice. Nonetheless I don’t see that much progress in certain intermediate tricks, even though I practice them all time (talking about switch backside 180s and varial flips)… Should I continue with new tricks or just keep practicing these tricks until I get them clean?
Awesome review! Can I ask how your ability compares now to when you were younger? I know you dont do rails and gaps etc now but your tech must just as good.
Are there big differences between us Element boards and European ones? I know they are not made the same or even in the same place. I love element, but I’m starting to feel like our European element decks are of lesser quality than the US ones. Hoping you know something about this and could shed some light on it. Thanks!
PS, your back tail video has helped me out tremendously, so thank you.
Hey Ben I always hear people talking about the “pocket” on a skateboard, usually in trick tip videos but I don’t know where the “pocket is, if you could please cover this in a video I would appreciate it.
what shape of element board is this though? all skateboard companies make plenty of different molds, shapes, sizes etc. just curious what kinda shape this is.
I just skated 4 hours and was feeling superior to you and your 90 minute sessions… Then I tried to get out of my car and couldnt move XD. Question: Could you do a video on being an older skater and finding a new crewSkating alone? Iget the feeling youre wise in this as well by how good you are with the young skate rats and seem to have a few og friends but also probably skate solo alot too! Either way thanks for putting positivity out there and heres hoping home life makes as much sense as skating for you.
I wonder if they changed the wood at some point in the last decade. It was weird when I skated them around 04-05 they had great pop the first couple weeks then felt really soggy and weighted down. But yet when I would get pissed and try to stomp it I had a couple that could almost flex to the ground and go back to form making me further angry. They also had a fiberlight back then. I hated that board from day one and had the same problem lol.
Can you review welcome skate decks, they are available in different shapes although they say they ride like popsicles shaped boards on their website
it’s ok, im in montreal skating in snow : )
Mine cracked in 1 week
Damm,your flip tricks are sooooo clean

I had several Element decks in the 90’s. Loved them. Loved Element clothes too.
7.75 trucks on 8.0 deck, i want opinions
Every pstix deck I’ve had the truck holes were off centered
Ben inspired me to get back on the board and even get a channel going.

Element,Baker or deathwish? Which is the lighter and good?
Any plans for a birdhouse 8.38 review? Pleeease
You should a review of the new Bones Easy Street wheels
That shuv noseslide was so sick
Used to love Elements back in 01-05. Then between the Fiberlight launch and the Billabong sale their boards started feeling like garbage.
I hear they’re getting better again though.
Don’t care for Nyjah. Love Chad Tim Tim. Chris Chan is cool, also Nick Garcia is pretty tight. I think element is pretty alright as a brand.
You know who else was a carpenter? Jesus.
Ben, can I call you skate Jesus?
