Skateboarding

Well,GripTape for skateboards around 7x33 wide, (regular board size) would cost around $5.99 at any RedAlert, Negative-One, or Rated R skate shops. Long boards will be around $10, since griptape is only sandpaper, and sandpaper costs money.

Wheels on skateboard can be as little as 50mm and go as big as 70mm (longboard wheels) and the softness rating verys. Smaller wheels are better for flip tricks, while bigger wheels are better for ramps and cursing . Harder wheels are better for tricks, while softer wheels are better for multi terrain cursing. What you want to do is figure out what you want to do on your skateboard (your skate style), from there you can choose the wheels that works best for you. Note for bigger wheels you are going to put risers on your board to prevent wheel bite.

I've never had a good set of abec 3's. They are fast for about a day and they're shot. I would highly recommend blowing the money on some Bones Swiss. They last around 5 times longer than the best abec 3's. Just stay away from water, mud, thick dirt, or anything that may gunk up your bearings.

Voodoo 13: You can put 60mm wheels on any deck.. but you'll usually find these workhorses on 8"+ wide decks.. Any deck smaller and you may be looking at riser pads.

I skate and i have skate shoes but my parents say that they are bad for your feet and im gonna end up with ankle problems. I don't really believe them but im not an expert either. They also say that i shouldn't skate in them which i pay no attention to them on that. I guess the two questions are: Are skate shoes bad for your feet? and (this is more to prove to my parents) Why should i skate in skate shoes and not in regular shoes? if your not a skater don't awnser the second question unless you know about skateboarding.This depends on your arch, and the arch on your skate shoes. I would think that your parents are saying they are bad for your ankles because from the outside, the skate shoes just look flat without arch support. When you don't have the support you need, it can cause pain in the ankle area, but its not the bone itself. The arch of the foot is formed by a tight band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. The tissue of the arch of the foot can becomes irritated and inflamed if your arch doesn't have the support it needs. But the thing is, most skate shoes do have arch support, even though they don't look like it from the outside. So skate shoes are fine for your feet with the right support

You can change its color. You do this by unscrewing the 4 screws on the nose platform on the back and the 3 screws on the tail platform on the back. Then you can pry off the colored part and lay them on some newspapers and spray paint them. You can also make a Ripstik a Ripstik G by unscrewing one of the screws that rise above the rest, then take off that whole platform. Then you can slide off the rubber cover!

It all depends on their sponsors and how many they have, and the popularity of the skater themself, his/her sponsors, and contests and demo's.normaly they get paid 500 for a sponser but more for sunglasses.

on the inside of your wheel there is a little nut screwed to the bolt on the trucks, use a wrench to tighten that

Skateboards come in all shapes and sizes, but generally the range from 7.5"-8.5" in width and 31"-32" in length. There are smaller boards for kids called minis and they can be as little as 7" in width and 29" in length. There are also much larger boards used for pool riding or just cruising that can be as wide as 10.5" and vary drastically in length. The board I ride is 8.25" x 31.125" and I skate street and pools.
