It's time for another UNBOXING video! This video is different than my normal unboxing vids, though. I'm taking up a new hobby, and what's in the box will surprise you. It's...

A brand new SKATEBOARD!

That's right, I've decided to learn how to skateboard. Blame it on all the Tony Hawk Pro Skater video games from my early PlayStation years. I've always wanted to try skateboarding. It always looked like such an exhilerating—though dangerous, I admit—activity. I've tried to get on skateboards before, but I always ended up losing my balance and getting too scared to try again.

Not so now.

I'm actually making some good progress, as you'll soon see in another video. Granted, I'm not going pro—or even thinking about landing tons of tricks—for now. All I'm focused on for now is learning to do the basics well; the important things like pushing, turning, and, most important of all, STOPPING!

For my practice board, I recently bought an old Walmart skateboard at a yard sale for just $5 bucks. After some intense research—and by that, I mean watching hundreds of vids on Andy Schrock's channel: http://www.youtube.com/AndrewSchrock—I quickly learned there are much better boards out there. Enter Revive Skateboards (http://www.theshredquarters.com).

Without going into much detail here—you can see all that in the video itself—I wanted my firest real skateboard to be something I knew I would be happy with and enjoy riding. Thanks to Barbara Ambs, Brian Ambs's mother and customer support for Revive, I was able to builld the perfect beginner skateboard for a bigger guy like myself. (I have some great tips for beginning skateboarders in an upcoming video.)

I really appreciate the guys over at The Shredquarters, the main warehouse for Revive Skateboards—and their other brands like Force Wheels, Ambgrip griptape, and 3Block (their other line of skateboard decks). Andy, Brian, Alex, Casey, and anyone else I might have forgotten there. They've all been great to watch on their YouTube videos as well as great to work with.

I've got a couple more skateboarding vids coming to my Guitarpreneur YouTube Channel in the coming weeks. But don't worry, this won't become a skateboarding channel by any means. My main purpose for this chanel is still guitar. So instead, once the three skateboarding vids release here, I'll be uploading any other skateboarding vids on the (basically non-existent) YouTube Channel bearing my actuaname: https://www.youtube.com/ericbeaty. Since I don't use it for anything else, I might as well use it for fun, experimental stuff—what better subject than skateboarding!

But enough chatter for now. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

One more thing: Before you go, I would appreciate it if you viewed the rest of the information below. Thanks in advance.
