Видео

Thanks for the clarification! I think out of all the topics I tried to cover in this video that was the thing I struggled with explaining the most

No worries! Glad you liked the video. Because this was originally used as part of a university assessment, it wasn't necessary to do the whole 'like and subscribe' thing. There's another similar video on my channel about 'Roles in the Television Studio' which you are welcome to watch 😃

Glad you enjoyed the video!

I don't recall saying that, have you got the time stamp?

Hey Ralph, good for you for trying to keep up! I did the captions for this video manually so if you wish, click on the 'CC' button and all the subtitles will be provided :) all the best!

Aha nice one. I appreciate that it's A LOT of info within such a small amount of time. 👍

I'd say these are ideal for fingerwhips. As I mentioned at 3:24 the deck has a nearly boxed profile, so there's a lot of surface area that would make contact with your hand during a fingerwhip. It's very unlikely to slice your hand in any way.

Not been there in an extremely long time

@@BenScooter1 Neither have I. We were always scared of getting mugged over there lol. No idea if it's still there now. They did the W'hall skatepark up really well.

@@flip-phone_becky4655 yeah it had a reputation for being rather sketchy. I've been to the Wilenhall park the once, and was impressed!

@@BenScooter1 The reputation was literally the first thing I heard about after learning of its existence. I really miss it back when we would find this skateparks just based on hearsay and gossip. The one I really miss is the old Wednesfield park. Younger people these days would never accept it or value it but we spent loads of summer holidays there all the time with cheap rola-cola. That's how I found your channel. I was looking for a video of that old skatepark. I saw one years ago where "heelflip Chris" ollied down from the top level and down to the lower one. I think it was a basketball court down there. I still haven't found that video but it keeps coming back to me every now and then over the years. There seems to be no videos or photos of that old park at all anywhere. I even miss that weird flatbank sort of thing by the little miniramp. The grindbox was my favourite though. Finding skateparks back then was like going on a quest with your friends or something! So much adventure has been lost in the world since then; sold for convenience and people don't even know it.

I remember their teen discos on a Saturday afternoon aha. It definitely felt like a simpler time. At least during my teenage years my taste in girls was pretty much informed solely by the sorts you'd see at Planet :')

By the way I haven't seen this video in YEARS. I can't believe you've made me relive it :')

@@BenScooter1 I miss those days so much! I as gutted when all my friends decided to grow up and stop going. We all used to go back over 'the hill'. This place we'd get to on the 333. It we magical times. I wish I knew how special it was when we were all there. I'm glad I made you relive it. It was such a great time and I'm glad we got to grow up back before everyone got sucked into their phones haha.

Jesus Christ you've got some memory on you!!

@@BenScooter1 I remember most from that sort of time period of my life. It got all stormy after that until recently. So it's sort of like I was in a time machine. ^_^ You would turn up and even though lots of people thought scooters weren't cool, everyone would respect you. There was you, then I remember there was that Jacob on rollerblades. And even though people would hate on both those sports, people would respect you guys because it was clear you had actual talent and it left people sort of waiting and watching because they actually wanted to see what you guys would do. Good times. :D

@@flip-phone_becky4655 I'm surprised you even remember! I recall a few Beckys but I couldn't guess which one you were

@@BenScooter1 You would never recall me. Becky isn't my name. I just used this as a username because it was either this or Stacy lol. I look and dress pretty much opposite to how I looked before so nobody would really guess who I am. :p

I do still scoot, I just don't have the time to ride and make videos super often. A majority of the people I used to know and ride with back in the day have moved on and made way for a new generation of riders.

@@BenScooter1 damn, that’s fire you still ride when you can though i use to look up to you when i was like 10-12 and watch the vids daily

@@dylanjoe3680 when I stopped riding for Razor and went off to uni I stopped making as many videos (which I kinda regret now.) If I remained highly involved with the scooter scene/industry and regularly put out content that appealed to my growing subscriber base, this had the potential of being a pretty large channel.

@@BenScooter1 i agree your account was going crazy for a good while seemed like you had years put into scooters. dope to hear you still ride occasionally, you ever post clips on insta?

@@dylanjoe3680 yeah I'm bennygrantham on Instagram. Occasionally I put riding clips up and a few times a year I meet up with Luke Painter (who was on Madd UK with me in 2010.)

Thank you! 😄

I do! But I don't upload riding footage to RUclips much anymore. My latest stuff can be found on my Instagram @bennygrantham
