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.

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

A half-cab, also known as the 180 Pop-shuvit, uses a typical 180 and a pop-shuvit combined. If you want it to look clean when you land it, do a frontside 180 instead of a backside 180.

spitfire for sure... there way faster and I've been skateboarding with them for like 4ever

Baker Skateboards was created in 2000.

Plenty. John Rattray, and Diego Bucchieri, Dan Murphy, and Jack Sabback. All of them on seriously respectable teams. They have amazing parts. You'd be suprised what they majored in.... :), (hint: Atoms, and Newton, writing, and the past) :)

It depends on the manufacturer. Different manufacturers produce it at different places.

Where I come from it is 1 metre(approx 3'4"),but would pay to consult local building code.

Answer First you need to build a frame for it for the decking to sit on. Need to mount a 2x4 or 2x6 board that goes across the open on the door. Ofset this board down the height of the thinkness of the decking material that you will be using for the ramp top itself. It makes mouting look cleaner if you cut the front top of this board in the angle that the ramp will be heading. This will make it flush at the top. Then you will need 2x4 or 2x6 boards that will be along the sides of the frame. Then you need a board about every foot in between these sides. The sides and middle boards should be cut at angles at the top and bottom so the they mount flush with the top board and the ground. You can just toe-tail these boards to the top door way board. When this is done then just nail or screw the top decking boards down (ramp boards). I hope I explained that clear enough. Good luck.

Supra is one of the worst "hyped up" shoe companies out there right now. They sponsor non skaters (not just BMXers, I'm talking stuff like this http://www.upscalehype.com/2010/06/justin-bieber-in-g-star-wood-denim-jacket-supra-society-sneakers/) and if you think I'm kidding, just go and try a pair yourself. If you are a real skateboarder who goes out at least three or four times a week and really puts down tricks- these shoes WILL. BLOW. OUT. The soles are garbage, the synthetic leather they use is garbage and everything about them is garbage. It's hard for me to even believe Erik Ellington backs these hot steaming piles of garbage.

One of them is a kick-flip.

Don't know if there's a special inventor for that.

First they used wheels off roller skates, then eventually someone started making wheels that were almost roller skate wheels, but just a little adapted to do better on a skateboard.

a Nollie treflip or Nollie 360 flip is a Nollie 360 shuvit and a nollie kickflip but my friend Lyle thinks its a since its Nollie the shuvits switch if a nollie backside shuv go's backwards and a Nollie front side shuvit go's forward but and he thinks the all his tricks change because he's regular and i skate goofy like he thinks a varial is a hard flip and he thinks my hard flip is a varial kick flip and he thinks my varial is a hard flip

It depends of the skateboard

Joerex skateboards are pretty good for doing tricks. This skateboard is popular.

a fs boardslide is when your slideing backwards on the rail a fs lipslide is where you approach the rail with ith the rail in front of you and you ollie over the rail into a bs boardslide basiclly it confusing at first
