Skateboarding

The first skateboards were just a two by four nailed to roller blade trucks and they had roller blade wheels

Yes girls do skateboard! I'm 13 and I just learned my 360 twist! And I love it! Its a great sport1 but if your just starting then you should wear a helmet knee pads and elbow pads because for beginners it can be dangerous! :D I love skateboarding around sho[rite and where all the other stores are! Its fun, I also love skateboarding in the MALL!

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!

A skateboard takes its name from 'skate', in the sense of ,roller-skate(s)', or 'ice-skate(s)' plus 'board', in the sense of 'surfboard'.

The term was first used in southern California, in 1963.

No. A ramp is a ramp, one of several simple machines besides the lever.

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.
it depends, it could be Thousands, Millions or more :)

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.

I want to say the record is owned by Rob Dyrdek from ROB AND BIG. I think the record is 46 in 1 minute!

what is the construction cost

there is no specific name for the top, usually it's reffered to as the griptape.

It depends on the teenage boy. Usually their favorite pro skater decides what board they will get. For example; Andrew Reynolds rides for Baker, therefore the teenage boy will get a Baker board.

Yes, you can skate in the dirt Yes, you can skate in the dirt

It is a TOYS R US BRAND BOARD, they sell it at Toys R Us, it'll be a pro board if you throw some a b e c 7's in it, my jackhammer gets tons of compliments and on top of that Its the only one I ever seen, and Junco used to make some bad tale jeans called jackhammer so I think its a brandname/ company name.

You have to eat a apple then go to your computer and say Im ready for the big brown pencil :D

I don't think anyone or any organization publishes that information, but many sites state that the Bauer Vapors are the most popular skate in the NHL. One thing to keep in mind is that many of the skates used in the NHL are customized to the player and are not going to be what you get off the shelf. If you are looking for skates do not purchase based on what someone else uses. The most important thing to consider is that the skate fits your feet well.

Maybe, but they may break within a short period of time. The "light weight" material is poor quality.

he said him self that he did. but i dont see any video proof that backs him up. it is possibly going to be in the new plan b video. i am writing this on 3/30/2010. so yeah its coming soon but if your reading this and is like 2011 then the videos out. but my friend will see the video and if he sees it then i will come back to this page and tell you if he did. so be patient as soon as i know you will know.

he found his dad's old-school skateboard and started rolling on it..then he got his own skateboard..and just by practicing he learned..he used to work hard every day to try to do tricks..all his hardwork paid off when he became a pro at 13

..hope this helps you..

Ryan Sheckler has 10 tattoos although 3 of them have a pair so he has 3 tattoos that go with 3 other tattoos and has 4 that are single tattoos. One in his back that says Sheckler. Another in his inner right arm that says "Fear" with another in the same position on the left that says "God" (Put them together. "Fear God"). And another in his outer right that says "Skate Life" with another in the same position on the left side saying "Till Death" (Put them together, too; "Skate Life Till Death"). He has two on his wrists on says Shane and the other says Kane (his brothers names). He has a skateboard on his arm, a skull on his upper arm and also has strength-&-honor on his chest.

You start by rolling up a ramp and going back down or just plain rolling fakie

Next you set up your feet with one centered on nose and other about 1 inch or so in front of bolts

apply pressure with foot on nose of board and spin your body at the same time, this trick does not require board spin, remember where your head goes your body will follow

-or-

just get going fast fakie and quickly slide your body around in a jerking motion without applying pressure to make that skidding sound revert

I've watched videos of both. I own a ripstik and they appear to be identical.

There are a few minor differences of the boards. Over all they are pretty much made of the same material. The Ripstik or Ripstick has a 1 mm smaller wheel, the decks are all solid colors, and the middle bar is slightly longer. The Wave Board has more wild designs of decks, 1 mm larger wheels, and the middle bar is shorter then that of the Ripstik.

They both ride the same and consist of mostly cosmetic differences.

Dennis Busenitz is one of the world's fastest skateboarder. Not sure if Busenitz is spelt correctly though. Steve Berra is also an incredibly fast skater.

corey duffel skates crazy fast for street.
