  DO NOT use soap as a wax substitute. When it rains the soap will foam up and it will actually remove the wax that was already on that curb. I made that mistake as a kid and ruined a curb I had been building up wax on for a couple of years.

  bit late to the party, but im a street/road worker. when we have old aluminum signs we typically just collect and then scrap, maybe get like .30cents/pound usd. might be worth a shot to ask your local municipality if they have old signs, give em to you for free or super cheap

  so i didnt watch the video yet, but the tab on a wheel bolt works. But i had to put one on my dirt bike to get outta the hills. i lost my axle nut somewhere al all I could find was a tab and speaker wire. so I wrapped the bolt threads with the stripped bare wire and then twisted on the tab. made it up and over the mountain and safely back to the trucks.   Im surprised someone else had to find this hack. lol

  Good shoe tip. Use old jeans cut out and wood glue at holes on shoe. Simple and efficient, and bottom of the shoe you can use wood glue or super glue with old bike tubing or even jeans, old shoe ect

  If your a beginner and you are having trouble turning a certain direction (left or right) then go on a flat or hilled(hilled is better so you can focus on turning and not pushing on the concrete) non-busy area and turn you skateboard in the direction you are comfortable with and try to turn your board until it is going straight. Hope this will help

  Back in the days I used to collect my grandma’s burned out candles and burned them into one chomp and use that as wax it was working really well 🤘😎
