Generally Elementary Longboarding - Loaded Dancer & Custom LBL OSD

[Toffeefudge2011]

Emgeemann check out my channel and how could I get better at dancing great job

[tdcollector]

wear a helmet! 

[DillonRHall]

are dancers pretty good downhill carvers?

[Tyranizpop]

What do you guys like beter, lbl or loaded?

[ScreaminGreenMachine]

2:19 Longboarding America. Hell yeah

[ApansOst]

gosh i hate dogs... lol

[bulabula92]

HAHAHA what is it that dogs hate about longboarders!?:P i always get atacked by dog when im out on my board!:P

greate movie ^^

[chancerbob95]

i watched this vid like a year ago when i just started longboarding and i was like wow but now i can do every single one of these tricks! lol i wish i lived near someone that were as good as yall so i could have so competetion lol

[SixbulletRussianRoul]

Is that LBL osd full size? looks much shorter.

[emgeemann]

@SixbulletRussianRoul 10 inches shorter.

[Duanka007]

Will Paris trucks fit on a LBL??? Does the Bhangra have a nice normal good feel to it? Because I would get a dancer but they're discontinued.

[emgeemann]

@Duanka007 Yes, Paris trucks will fit an LBL. I'd tell you more about the Bhangra but I haven't gotten mine yet! From what I've heard, it's a great board.

[Duanka007]

@emgeemann ok thanks

[blinkboarding182]

i was planning on getting the tan tien, but after watching this video im thinking about the dancer. any suggestions?

[emgeemann]

@blinkboarding182 If you're stuck kinda between the two, I'd recommend the bhangra or LBL komodo

[FrettedFretless]

Alright thanks for the help :)

[FrettedFretless]

How long did it take you to get hose manuals down?

[emgeemann]

@FrettedFretless A lot of practice :)

[FrettedFretless]

@emgeemann I have been trying at it for a week now and I don't see much progress. Idk if i am just really slow or it takes a longtime to get it down. How long until you eventually saw some progress like 2-3 parking spaces?

[emgeemann]

@FrettedFretless Many many hours. Just stick with it.

[luvmsiahatethegov]

@FrettedFretless It's all down to gradual progression man. There's no need to force a trick. Just keep enjoying the ride while trying the trick when you feel like it. The more your body gets used to it, the easier it gets. For example, I was trying to get the ghostride kickflip down so hard once, I just ended up frustrated, so I decided tp stop forcing myself to practice it and instead enjoyed the ride. When the timing was right, I just tried it again, and *bam* I landed it with no sweat.

[JUANCARIM56]

wooooooah where is that place

[fictionfamfan]

if you pause at 2:04 is that graylan and cameran stone! cuz theres 2 dancers. not the custom osd.

[emgeemann]

@fictionfamfan Yeah, it's both of them.

[SpottedStallion]

0:58 Sweet Flow

[DaneshRustomjee4]

2:55 is probs my favourite part!!!

[heyhihihihey]

ha fkin dogs happens to me all the time... dam dogs :P



[LongHerewego]

lol the dog was so random!!

[kakapoopi]

where u get prototype otangs????

[emgeemann]

@kakapoopi Loaded sent them to Cam when they were prototyping. Same with the Dancer

[DrMungay]

im looking to a dancing board but i cant really decide which to get the OSD or the dancer. i have a dervish now flex 2. but im looking to get one of those two larger boards. which would u reccomend for dancing/ and doing tricks tht involve the taill and nose.?

[emgeemann]

@DrMungay Loaded Dancer for sure, the upturned nose & tail really help lock in your feet for manuals.

[DerekGustafson614]

ight i weigh like 165. looking at the dancer i don't know what flex i should get. I've ridden flex 1 and it was extremely stiff so i was thinking flex 2 but i don't want to be bouncing around like a mofo. any suggestions?

[emgeemann]

@DerekGustafson614 Depends on your preferences dude. I ride a flex 1 and love it, but I also like the feel of the flex 2. To be honest, I got the flex 1 because it was posted in a forum at a good price and I jumped on it. My friends the Stones (in this video) ride flex 2s and love them too, but I've come to prefer the stiffer flex to be honest. Feels more solid on jump tricks and I get bounced off less - I think you'll be happy either way, the flex 1 still has plenty of flex but is def stiffer

[DerekGustafson614]

@emgeemann thanks man ill prob stay safe and go with the flex 1 for hopefully a longer lasting board

[CWilli245]

i just got a loaded dancer flex 2 and i'm 170 lbs...will this still be fine?

[emgeemann]

@CWilli245 yeah you'll be fine, that's a good flex for the dancer I just prefer it a little stiffer but I love riding flex 2's as well (I'm about 160-165)

[Lycosaa]

HAHA, loved the part when the dog came :D

[zornthebean]

nice video and nice getting 30 mph on a dancer!

[Tocoolforthissite]

I'm going to buy a longboard with Holey trucks - 175 mm and Gumballs, will it work good for cruising?

[emgeemann]

@Tocoolforthissite - Absolutely, that's the setup on my red custom OSD in this video and I love it.

[Riley650]

alrighty thank you

[Riley650]

how's the LBL? I just ordered an OSD, I've been riding my gay sector 9 sunset and it's a drop through deck so my dancing on it sucks but I've learned to deal with it. do you like the OSD?

[emgeemann]

@Riley650 - I love it. Although it's a shorter, wider and flexier custom version of the OSD. It's almost identical specs to the komodo just without the cutouts, but it's an awesome board and Larry is the man

[peder0204]

nice

[123ringwormz123]

i always wanted a longboard, but there so damn expensive. i already use enogh money on skateboarding.

[emgeemann]

@123ringwormz123 - word man, definitely expensive. although it's not hard to find discounts and great deals if you look around a bit. By the looks of your skate vids on your page you could get $100 off a complete through any of the 4 Loaded challenge series no problem

[123ringwormz123]

@emgeemann i have no idea what the loaded challenges are, but ill look for em and check em out. thanks

[emgeemann]

@123ringwormz123 - 10 tricks you need to film and learn. They're all overdue, but you can still get $100 off a complete / $50 off a deck from Loaded if you submit your video and you land everything. Series 1 would be a breeze for you.

@RealEros1 - You have a point, but shipping can add up if you go components. I'd recommends buying used off Silverfish, lots of great boards & deals.

And yeah, ultimate you'll enjoy it far more than the price tag!!

[RealEros1]

@123ringwormz123 nah just buy each thing serparte but the money isn't the issue it's if your going to enjoy it that matters

[blazinjibkid]

arnt the two blond guys sponsored by loaded?

[Danman1475]

are the adam colton trucks any good? are they better than randall 180?

[emgeemann]

@Danman1475 - They're basically beefed up, blinged-out Paris 180s. I personally love Paris 180s, they're the cleanest cast trucks made w/ great ride characteristics. So basically, if you like Paris 180s you'll like the Coltons even more since the axles are stronger & less likely to bend, and they look awesome. And when you buy a set, Adam gets some money so you'll help support him putting out sick videos & products. That said, Randal 180s are dope too. Comes down to preference

[sailack0915]

that dog at 1:55, daisy that lives at the yellow house right? yeah... it bit me when i was boarding to school.... im that kid with the Apex 37

[emgeemann]

@sailack0915 - yeah that dog fucking sucks, i always have to charge through there so it doesn't catch me haha. is it Graham?

[sailack0915]

@emgeemann nah... Ryan Williams... Graham and John's friend...

[emgeemann]

@sailack0915 oh word. yeah that dog should get put down, its a menace

[DaneshRustomjee4]

@emgeemann the dog should be put on a leash not put down!

[emgeemann]

@DaneshRustomjee4 - yeah you're probably right, but they need more than just a leash. it's a vicious dog that attacks everyone that passes it, I know a lot of people that have been bitten by it. They need an electric fence, very badly

[DaneshRustomjee4]

@emgeemann its realy bitten people? yeh i think ur right...

but nice vid anyway im getting a old skool dancer but im not sure about getting extra plys added wats ur oppinion?

[emgeemann]

@DaneshRustomjee4 - yeah it's bitten at least three of my friends, and would have bitten me a few times if I'd been on foot not on my board. I'd say don't get extra plys on the OSD, it's pretty stiff as-is. Depends on your weight though, but I'm 170 and my friends' stock OSDs are a little stiff for my liking, I might suggest the flexier bambooo model

[DaneshRustomjee4]

@emgeemann aww sweet thanks man

[DaneshRustomjee4]

@DaneshRustomjee4 DUDE tell me if i should get a flex 1 or 2 for a dancer im about 121 P.S i aint gettin the lbl osd any moreee!!!

[emgeemann]

@DaneshRustomjee4 - @ 121 lbs, get a flex 2 for sure

[DaneshRustomjee4]

@emgeemann thanks man

[dogpoop055]

love it. looks like alot of what im riding. winter dervish quickie? that sounds alot like wisconsin weather. peace man

[relyt159753]

btw does the metal cap that separates the bushing and the nut on the kingpin ever come in contact with the hangar? cause i know Gullwing Charger trucks do.. and i dont want to have small metal dents in the side of hangar where the bushings are held. Everytime my friend turns on his Charger theres a metal clicking noise.. so we had to flip the metal cap. =[

[emgeemann]

I haven't had that problem with Paris or Holey trucks. I know the pivot cup can get very worn out and sloppy which could allow for the extra travel that is leading to the problem you're talking about.

What you can do is just put on a flat upper washer to replace the cup washer. Flipping it like you did is also fine. Check longboardskater[dot]com for flat washers, free shipping & cheap prices!

[relyt159753]

hey how are the holey trucks treatin you??

[emgeemann]

@relyt159753 - love em. best stock bushings made

[brownsnow1203]

dang alright..

do you know the duro?

[brownsnow1203]

this is actually relyt159753. using friends account

[emgeemann]

The stock duro (ruby red) is 88a. The ones I was using in this vid were 95a & 99a. (Stick w/ the ruby unless you weigh a LOT/want a stiffer, less carvy ride)

[relyt159753]

wow 88a is perfect for me ahah

guess holeys are the next trucks i get

[roenic2]

this video is bringing some stoke, even when theres four feet of snow outside.

[emgeemann]

@roenic2 - glad to hear it dude!

[MortalSky]

Amen bro. Also, Skip Town is one of my favorite songs ever, so this video gets a few bonus points

[dervishlongboarder]

haha the dog o dam

[GottaL0vePeace]

whats the music?

[emgeemann]

1st is "The art of walking" by Blockhead.

2nd is "Skip Town" by Aesop Rock

[walawa1a]

Where is this?

[emgeemann]

@walawa1a - harvard MA

[ec4frnt]

This is aweesome, first loaded dancer video with downhill in. but anyways brilliant

[mdrootz]

[MahDeeSun]

Nice Shanghai's

[longboard789]

is it good for pumping around?

[zaciodorkproductions]

yea

[nickout]

I'm impressed! I just bought The Dancer recently... practicing manuals and shove-its is really hard.

[ElijahHeartsNinjas]

you guys are really good.

[emgeemann]

thanks man :)

[winkerscorner]

at 2:41 i thought you guys were just jumping for no reason. ha

[hubydube]

sweet video i have seen you on old littleton road from my house

[DuckyQuaxx]

sweet video

[BAsports18]

what hill is that in the beginning

[emgeemann]

old littleton

[PBbookworm]

what do you think in terms of OSD vs. Loaded dancer?

[emgeemann]

tough call... different materials.

[BeeroftheWeek]

I prefer the Loaded Dancer. I have both and love both, but feels more comfortable to do manuals/nosemanuals, shove its, etc... on the Loaded Dancer, as it's made with these tricks in mind.

If you have the opportunity to get both, get both. I learned on the OSD and will always ride it.

[spectreiv]

who's the second song by? kinda sounds like del.

[emgeemann]

Aesop - they sound fairly similar

[spectreiv]

ohhh, got it. thanks!

[costone]

haha look at me man handling that B Ball pole at 2:26

[emgeemann]

hahah yeah man you were WORKING that thing

[A000G]

cool synchronized jumping shots!!! good jobz.

[magermax000]

I posted my longboarding video. We talked about it on another video.

[emgeemann]

solid video, i like the cinematography & editing

[magermax000]

thanks!
