How do you wax a skateboard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To take wax off a surfboard you need to leave it in the sun for half an hour, so that the wax melts. You can sometimes simply wipe/scrape it off with a wax comb or a butter knife carefully. To get the last remanants of wax off orange oil works well (with little orange man picture on front). If it was a surfboard you could try a little turps, but i would use turps sparingly on a body board as it coulc eat away at the foam,

There has been no official release yet about the next installment of Skate 4, but the earliest possible release would be on 2013 or late 2014, hopefully. For now let's just hope EA would break it's silence, because fans can't wait any more longer.

How do you build a quarter pipe?

Asked by Wiki User

Building a quarter pipe is very hard. You have to have the right tools and the wood has to be bent just the right way so it doesn't break. It would be easier to order online or go to a sporting goods store that might have one.

How do you build a mini ramp?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Step1 Decide on the kind of plan you want. You can buy inexpensive plans to build a skateboard mini-ramp, or sketch out your own plans.

Step2 Plan the size of the skateboard mini-ramp to build. Most mini-ramps are 8 feet wide and a bit over 2 feet tall.

Step3 Find a large workspace for your plans and tools. == Step1 Place a piece of 3/4-inch plywood on a flat surface. Draw a straight line up the right-hand side, measuring to the highest point of the mini-ramp. This is usually about 24 to 28 inches.

Step2 Draw another straight line out to the left toward the center of your plywood board, measuring about 2 feet. This is the deck.

Step3 Sketch a straight line along the bottom of the skateboard mini-ramp, about 5 feet. This is the bottom of the mini-ramp.

Step4 Connect the top of the deck to the endpoint of the bottom using a curved line for the ramp. It is a good idea to use a half-circle drawing tool so the curve is true. == Step1 Cut along the lines using a skil-saw so the curves are smooth.

Step2 Repeat on a second piece of plywood for the other side.

Step3 Connect the two sides with 2-by-4's. Make sure they are at intervals frequent enough to support the mini-ramp.

Step4 Use a single sheet of 3/8-inch plywood for the actual mini-ramp section, bending it to fit over the curve.

Step5 Finish rough edges.

What is the highest score on pacman?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

After nearly 20 years and millions of quarters, someone has attained the unthinkable: a perfect score on Pac-Man. The world record was set by 33-year-old Billy Mitchell of Hollywood, Florida, during a US-Canada clash over the Fourth of July weekend. Mitchell took more than six hours to complete the game at the Funspot Family Fun Center in Weirs Beach, New Hampshire.

To achieve the game's maximum score of 3,333,360 points, Mitchell navigated 256 boards (or screens), eating every single dot, blinking energizer blob, flashing blue ghost, and point-loaded fruit, without losing a single life. In May, one of the Canadians, Rick Fothergill, came within 90 points of the perfect score while playing at the Funspot arcade, described as the world's second-largest arcade, with about 500 games. The foursome set a Fourth of July weekend rendezvous for their head-to-head competition.

Mitchell said he came very close to setting the record on the first day of the holiday weekend -- 1 July which, coincidentally, is Canada Day -- but a kid pulled the plug about four hours into the game.

How do you do a hippie jump in skate 2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Press "A" and "X" (or square and x on the ps3 i think) and release to jump. If you hold down "A" and "X" longer your player will jump higher

EDIT FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS ACTUALLY PLAYED SKATE 2: ^Wrong, that's a hippy jump...

A hippy flip is when you do a kick flip, and you go over a rail and your board goes under it. It requires extremely precise timing.

What are some similarities of skateboarding and snowboarding?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Carving on a skateboard is similar to leaning to turn on a snow board. Also the balance of riding is about the same as a skateboard. A snow board includes more movements in the ankles than skateboarding does. Id say the two are very similar over all. If you are snow boarding for the first time after having been a skater, you will find that you don't turn as easy, therefore you must move your ankles into the lean of your body. If you are skating for the first time after having been a snowboarder, balance on a skateboard and turning and what not, will be fairly easy for you. Hope this helps.

What is the best pro skateboard to buy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The best skateboard is the Element board. I don't know how someone thought it was World Industries and/or Darkstar. They suck!!!! Element is awesome! World Industries and Darkstar were actually tied... FOR WORST SKATEBOARD BRANDS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But never but the full board, get the deck, wheels, trucks, bearings and griptape. Then go to a skateshop and ask the manager to put the board together for you.

There both amazing bearings. i currently own bone Swiss and have skated ceramics before. i personally like ceramics better because they feel just a bit faster and they have a less likely hood of breaking if you land to hard
