Skateboarding

No its not required but if you are a beginning where them so you won't get hurt but once you get better you can take them off.

You can use a Deck for as long as you want it dosent really matter as long as the board is not damaged onr inflicted wih stress cracks.

It is the a part that gosse in the hole of the wheel and makes it spin longer and faster there are diffrent types of bearings and abec is a raiting used and also abec 3 bearings can be faster than abec 5s it really doesnt make a difference its mainly its durrability

There is no definitive origin or inventor of the skateboard. One proposed origin is that skateboards arose in the 1930s and 1940s, when children would participate in soapbox races, using soap-boxes attached to wooden planks on rollerskate wheels. When the soap-box became detached from the plank, children would ride these primitive "skateboards". However, there are arguments that this origin is not accurate, and that it has simply been taken from the film Back to the Future. Another suggests that the skateboard was created directly from the adaptation of a single roller skate taken apart and nailed to a 2x4, without the soapbox at all. Surfers would skate when the waves were flat and began skating to recreate surfing on land, some surfers began to do tricks on the land such as Bert slides and Power slides. In 1972 the first Urethane wheels came out into production which made these tricks possible. Some of the most well known beginning skaters, the "Z-boys" named after their Zepher surf shop, used a more fluid motion then most skaters at the time and styled themselves after a famous surfer. the skaters brought back the trend from its slump in 1975 during the Del mar competition where they wowed audiences by the close to ground maneuvers and fluid movements. The main types of skating during this time were Slalom, long jump, free style, and downhill racing. Later during the drought of California the Z-boys and other skaters started to skate empty pools thus creating vert skating and later on one of the group's members Tony Alva would perform the worlds first Aerial in a swimming pool.

Retail skateboards were first marketed in 1958 by Bill and Mark Richard of Dana Point, California. They attached roller skate wheels from the Chicago Roller Skate Company to a plank of wood and sold them in their Val Surf Shops. Later on as skateboarding became more popular a man named Larry Stevenson created the "kick tail" on a skateboard which led to the design of the trick board. The sport of skating was considered to be and outcast sport because of its strong ties to punk and the rebel movement during the 90s, it was until the 2000s X games that skateboarding made a new name for itself as an official sport.

By "berrings" i assume you mean "bEArings". Anyway, its kinda like opening a bottle of beer. Take the wheel with the bearings off the trucks, and use the end of the hangar of the truck to prize out the bearing. Easy as pie!

Information provided has shown that some of the members are Jimmy Carlin, Windsor James, Tom Asta and Ryan Bobier on the pro team. The amateur team includes David Reyes, Trevor Colden and Sascha Daley.

first, you put your front foot on. then, as you are putting your back foot on, push off and then start moving your back leg. that will do the trick ;]

Voodoo 13: NO, Santa Cruz Skateboards is a 40 year old skate brand and has never been a brittish.. it's a California based company..Now it's owned by NHS who also owns FLIP, Creature, Bullet, Skateboarding is not a crime, Independent and KRUX, and OJ wheels.

well it depends what sort of skating you're doing. street; I find it's easier to use a thin board like a 7.5inch wide with small wheels like 50-55mm. ramp/vert; usually bigger like 8inch wide with big wheels like 55-65mm. length; Compare the skater’s height to this chart: Under 4’ = 29” or smaller. 4’ to 4’10” = 29” to 30” long. 4’10” to 5’3” = 30.5” to 31.5” long. 5’3” to 5”8” = 31.5” to 32” long. 5”8” to 6’1” = 32” to 32.5” long. Over 6’1” = 32.4” and up. remember you should ride a board that you are comfortable with because when i first started i used a 8inch deck for street skating thinking it would be easier to flick and land tricks but i found out that i was wrong. most street skaters find thinner boards are easier to flick and land on than wide decks are. hope this helped.

Ripsticks are no more dangerous that rollerskates, skateboards, scooters, or bicycles... The danger is in who's riding it and how..

It's most likely to do with your back foot and your balence. Make sure you are over your board when doing the trick. Also move your back foot into the center of the tail so that it does not cause it to do a varial

It is hard to say. You must specify what trick. All tricks start with the ollie (except for powerslides and pivots, etc), then they variate with grinds, flips, graps, slides, and what not. Then you can do them in normal position, nollie, switch or fakie.

Pro skaters dont really have salaries. They receive money when they show up in contests. They get free merchandise from their sponsorships though. They can make a big amount of money by selling their merchandise.

Well Once The dew tour this year finished Chris Cole walked away with 100,000$ for coming in first place. You also get money from magazine articles, sponsors etc. It depends really.

Athletes at that level are not typically paid a salary. They make their money from winning events and from product endorsements. Technically, it isn't about "earning" anything. It's about what they can negotiate.

Taken from the following article:

http://www.salary.com/careers/layouthtmls/crel_display_Cat10_Ser176_Par276.html

"Anyone riding pro these days makes a very good living. Mid-level skaters earn $50 to $100K a year, while the really good guys make between $500K and $1 million."

to start learning bonelesses, simply grab your skateboard with your back hand (like an Indy grab) and take your front foot off of the board, and jump, roll away clean etc. once you have mastered this it is time to start learning to do them properly. Which means that you take your foot off the board before you grab it. Eventually, you will want to take your bonelesses to the point where you pop the board into your waiting hand, rather than reaching down and picking it up. That is unless you want to stink up the area with your bad style!

well um there is tech deck .com and well just google it or try yahoo answers

stop rolling me

pretty much you got to hardflip or inward heelflip something big they might get you a spot on the team but don't forget you got to know how to do do a little bit of switch tricks yourself just as long as you got variety
