How do you stop landing on the nose when you 360 flip i have tried leaning back and jumping back but the board just comes back with me What is wrong?

You have to scoop the board more.

I know this may not be appealing to everyone, but wear skinny jeans. Many people find it "gay", but it truly helps in skateboarding, as it allows you to see the board more without your pants getting in the way. The tiny bit more vision you have certainly helps you when finding the board as you are coming down and the board's flip comes to an end and you are ready to land. Wear skinny jeans, it helps. Or don't.

How do you kick a soccar ball far?

1) its not really on just kicking the ball and see how far or how high its thrown. I think that its really the practice you have and how good you are at soccer. Because you can spend years of your life practicing soccer but if you just dont like it or not good at it, you can't do anything about it. And if your life its soccer and that is what you only talk about it with your friends, by having little practice you can really become a high soccer star.

2) A ball can go really far but its all in the technique. The most crucial things are when kicking the try to get up under the ball, curve your run like shown. Also, a good angle is abt 45 degrees or somewhere in the middle of 0-90. If your foot hits on top of the ball it will dig into the ground. If you hit it too low it will just go up, but not far.

Can 5.0 trucks fit on a 7.75 deck?

yes, the trucks are a little less wide than the board and will be fine. If they were wider than the board it would not work as well. It would be awkward. They will be fine. Yes, 7.75 will work on a 7.88 deck. If you need to make up the .13" use bigger wheels- 55mm or larger. yes it will definatly work and the point of bigger wheels is definatly a good idea..... i dont find much difference using smaller trucks to be honest but overall it will be fine
