Gear Nerd’s Delight: skateboardtech

If you like geeking out and obsessing over the finer details of gear, then you owe it to yourself to check out skateboardtech’s YouTube channel and accompanying website, RatVision. It’s full of videos that explain how bearings work and the differences between various brands, as well as how to fix and grip a board. Both longboard and street skating tech are covered. It’s a little cornball at times, but the info is top notch.

Tip of the hat to Brendan R-N for the link.

Justus Zimmerly

Born in Chicago and raised on the flat Canadian prairies, it wasn’t until moving to Ontario for school in 2005 that Justus got a taste for riding skateboards down hills. Since then it’s been a bit of an obsession. He graduated with a degree in Film Studies, but spent as much time focussed on skateboarding as he did on studying. Now he’s living the good life in Oakland, California, riding his motorcycle and working as Editor-in-chief for Skate[Slate].
