Where to buy Tech Deck in Australia?
Try Allders and Target. You can also order them from Harrods, because you can technically get anything from there! Reagan got a pet alligator from there.
Why does your back foot keep going to the side while you are ollieing?
Your kickflip always goes backside because instead of flicking the board, your kicking. It's a stupid name because you don't actually kick for the kickflip, you flick.
well it has to do with balance so if you cant balance off a skateboard than your not going to be able to on one so it kinda takes practice; like me and my friends say skateboarding takes practice and practice make perfect

Can you put skate board wheels on quad roller skates?
Outdoor wheels are more rubbery and grippy and indoors are hard plastic
Can you put spray paint on skate board wheels?
Not really.
On the rolling surface it'll first make the wheels slippery, and then it'll wear off quite fast.
You'd only get some to stick - poorly - on to the side faces of the wheels.
I'd suggest a permanent marker pen instead if you really think that you have to change the color.
Hard flipping in skateboarding is done by placing both feet on a moving board. Your front foot skids off the side of the board. At the same time as skidding your front foot, your back foot pushes on the back of the board. You must also jump when doing this. This motion causes the skate board to lift off the ground, and in theory, it should flip and drop down right side up so you can continue on the skate board.
How do you get sponsored by DGK?

Can you take off skateboard bearing shields?
Usually, but not always.
It depends on the design of that particular bearing.
Removing the inside one doesn't matter much and will make clean&lube a little faster the next time.
Removing the outside one will make the bearing suck in dust and grit in record time and either make the bearing run rough real fast or simply wear out real soon.
A pro deck is a skateboard that has been designed by a pro skater. If the skater is getting good publicity for his company then they might ask whether he wants a pro board. A pro board normally comes by itself, without griptape, trucks, wheels, bearings or hardware.

Well it all depends on where or what terrain you are riding on. On flatland, pumping can get you anywhere from 15-20 mph. Going downhill is another story. On longboards with good bearings and proper wheels, you can reach up to 45-50 mph.
What are better ABEC 7 or ABEC 9 bearings?
On the ABEC scale 7 is better but 5 is not the lowest. The scale numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, so a five would still be a good choice.
