Is the ripstik easier to ride than a ripstik ripster?
the other guy is just annoyed because he's unco. the normal ripstik is medium sized, where the ripster is slightly smaller, designed for younger, shorter rider, so they feel comfortable on a ripstik. i haven't ridden a ripster before but i think it would be just the same, if not the movements would be smaller because of the smaller wheelbase. But they should be about the same

Asking which flatland skimboard is the best is kind of like asking which car manufacturer is the best. Ask five different people and get five different answers. But there is definitely a group of board manufacturers that have risen above the rest. A few good brands are DB, Victoria, J-Gordon, and Kayotic. For more information on flatland skimboards and interviews with the main board manufacturers, check out http://inlandskimboarding.blogspot.com/search/label/Skimboards
Happy board hunting!!!
What do you use to lubricate wheel bearings on a skateboard?
Try Speed cream, you can get it at pretty much any skate shop. I personally use 3 in 1 lubricant, you can get it at any Lowes or Home Depot, and then I spray a teflon lubricant into them after they are all clean. !

What is a good longboard for beginners?
Choosing a good skateboard can be tricky, if you're a beginner in the sport. There's a lot that you have to take into account, in addition to the cost. You have to also consider the complete board, the deck, the trucks, and the wheels, whether you're buying a ready-made skateboard or are putting together your own.
Do you need to wear a helmet when riding a skateboard?
"have to", or "need to" aren't really the right words.
The purpose of a helmet is to protect your head.
Obviously, to get any benefit from a helmet you have to hit your head first.
No hit, no benefit.
So maybe you'll say " I never hit my head".
And as long that remains right, you'll be just fine w/o a helmet.
Thing is, hitting your head isn't much fun.
Even a fairly minor fall can split an eyebrow or a cheek, cause a concussion.
Spending a day in the ER isn't fun.
Having a scalp wound cleaned out isn't fun.
Getting stitches isn't fun.
Long-lasting headaches from concussions aren't fun.
A helmet can let you avoid all of these things.
Which makes wearing one looking like a good deal to me.
Depends what you are doing. If you are just doing tricks like kickflips, ollies, then you are okay. If you are doing insane tricks like 360's off a ramp then you may need a helmet.
How many routing steps are involved in the production of a Standard Skateboard?

What materials do you need for a longboard?
Many materials are used to produce Arbor LongBoards. For The deck wood materials such as bamboo, maple and koa are used. The wheels are made of a sucrose-based bio-urethane formula that is environmentally friendly.
Do you have to loosen your trucks to turn a skate board?
You can either loosen the bolt holding the trucks to the base of the board, or you can buy a longboard skateboard, which will turn a hundred times better than you could make any street skateboard turn.

why the hell did you say nollie flip? that ain't a trick. its a category. nollie flip is any flip trick done at the front of the board while you are in your normal stance. this could be a nollie kickflip, nollie heelflip, or even a nollie 720 flip. and other tricks are godzilla railstance, Jesus flip, forward flip, fs laser flip, bs 360 flip, nightmare flip, bs 360 kicklfip, pressure flip, 360 pressure, and on and on and on... there are a lot though. but o well cuz you will learn them as you go. hoped all of this kind of helped.
Nollie flip is a trick, that's the way skaters say it now for nollie kickflip
Alright, so if you want to learn how to kickflip you first need to know how to ollie, and ollie well, when you can do that. You have your backfoot in the same place as an ollie and your front foot on 3 inches behind the bolts with your heel hanging off alot. Then you pop the board, and as your foot is sliding up you flick out, which causes the board to spin. Also, you don't have to slide your foot all the way to the end of the board, you can end at the bolts, that is how I landed my first one. Also, when I was first kickflipping, if you are really only trying to land it, then try not to flick your foot out as much, but flick it downward, if you know what I mean. Not out, but down. And don't forget to jump high and commit. When you see the grip, stomp your feet, bend your knees, and roll away, or you could look it up on youtube. Another good place to look it up on is ehow. www.ehow.com
Well some of u forgot the tree kickflip and things like that
What skateboard deck has the most pop?
Many decks are made by the same manufacteurer. For example: Almost, enjoi, and darkstar are all made by the same wood supplier. The amount of pop in decks is all about preference. I like dgk decks for their crisp stiff pop. Girl boards are good at first but quickly become flimsy and lose their pop fast. almost boards chip very easily.
What are the rules of skateboarding?
skateboarders should wear protective gear and learn local laws regarding the practice. some regulations require that skateboarders are confined to local parks. if this is not the case then one should obey the traffic laws that bicyclists and pedestrians are required to follow for any given area. for example, boarders should ride on the sidewalk and not on the street. people who must skate in the street in the absence of sidewalks should go with the flow of traffic and walk their boards across the street. Skateboarders should observe stop signs and red lights.
