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?
You just send a video to the company you want to be sponsored by, showing them why they should, and then you wait for the reply.
Or
Get your name out there, make tapes. Befriend skateshop owners (but don't kiss their butts, they'd notice), skate at skate parks, enter in competitions. Travel and skate the spots you see in videos. Oh yeah, and be really good at skateboarding.
What are some goofy skateboard riders?
Eh, from my understanding. Most people ride "Normal". Because of course it is considered normal. But some of the greatest skateboarders ride "goofy', examples are Bam Margera, Jason Lee, and Rob Dyrdek. But as far as I know, the preferred stance is normal.

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.
hey man her name is red rat junior she is red rat the reggae artist's daughter
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.

How do you varial kickflip on a skateboard?
Foot position to varial kickflip just put your back foot like a pop shuvit and your front foot like a regular kickflip, only pointing a little more to the nose than a regular kickflip. the flip you want to POP the board, not shuv, and when the board is touching the ground for the pop, or slightly in the air, you want to roll your ankle and kick straight forward. if you dont roll your ankle to make it flip, then you will end up with a lame pop shuv. after that lift your legs up. oh, and you have to jump forward, otherwise you will land with one foot or with your toes. hope it helps

Can you get arrested for not wearing a helmet while skateboarding?
Yea you can even skateboarding in general. A few of my friends went to metro on their skateboards and most of them were wearing helmets and only a few didn't and they all ended up getting arrested. I skateboard and I haven't got arrested yet but I'm still worried every time I go out with my skateboard because I feel the pressure of getting arrested. You can go no helmet if you want but you will always have the chance of getting arrested police just hate skateboarders. BTW I think you should wear a helmet so you don't crack your head open like my friend did he got 12 stitches, a concussion, and even almost died he spent 3 week is acoma and an extra 1 week in the ICU its up to you. I wear a helmet because I'm afraid it will happen to me. Have fun skateboarding and good luck not getting arrested. :)
Which deck is better fiberglass deck or wooden deck?
Pressure treated lumber is the most common wood used for decks. It withstands water, insects and fungi well and will provide a solid deck for many years. Cedar and Redwood are also great deck material although they are more expensive.
Are there any benefits of using skateboard shoes?
i think that skateboarding is a very positive thing. It helps to challenge teens in more ways than one. It challenges teens in a physicaland mental way. They are challenged physically by trying diffrent tricks and improving their balance and increaseing their muscle mass without it being dramatic. It helps teens mentally by making them use their eyes for seing the raod ahead and their brains for thinking of how to do the trick before it is done. tricks must also be memorized. That helps with memorization. Unfortunatly skateboarding has bad parts to. When you go to learn a new trick you have to expect to get hurt. When i learned to ollie i fell alot until i finally got it down. Other harder tricks you will fall and get hurt just as much if not less or more. Another negative thing is that most skaters are punks. If you just stay who you are and not think highly of yourself like most do then you wont have that problem. Parents worry alot about their kids and when they come home with road rash down their arm they worry that much more. So, that is just my opinion. Ttyl im out peace/
the best trick ever is to give your sister a fire ball and wachyour sister burn away
Is mountain boarding easier than skateboarding?
Skateboarding, trust me first try to gain the balance (Wich takes about a few months) if you check out other videos you can see that it looks so easy but when you start try putting it near a desk and then just use the desk to move on the skateboard (you can also use gate bars but be carefull kepp balance some people keep falling on there but
LOL
