Do penny skateboards fit in backpack?
You could really use any kind of backpack, as long as they have the straps on the back for the skateboard. Well there is a website for specific bags for boards, which I found one bag for penny skateboards, its an organic bag, because that matters.
YES
Yes, you can. There are a variety of ways, but the most common way is from head trauma. If someone falls off at any sort of height while skating, and they were not wearing a helmet, then the could suffer a severe enough concussion that they go into a coma and slowly die.

How do you make a skateboard mold?
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
== * Pencil Tape measure 3/4-inch plywood Screws Circular saw Jig saw Concrete mix Reinforcing wire Mixing bucket Uncut skate deck Sandpaper WD-40 # Step 1 Organize your tools, and clear your work bench. You will need a place to construct your skateboard mold that is well lit and organized. Mixing concrete can be messy business, so make sure the area doesn't have carpet that could be damaged or ruined. # Step 2 Use a circular saw to build a box from the pieces of 3/4-inch plywood. You will need this box to be 9 1/2 inches wide by 34 inches long by 6 inches high. The box should fit together tightly. Drill the screw holes into the wood for the box. # Step 3 Cut your uncut skate deck down to 9 1/2 by 34 inches square. Start in the center of the uncut skate deck and measure out to the edge using your tape measure to find the proper measurement. Saw the deck down to the proper size. # Step 4 Sand the skate deck down and make sure all the surfaces are completely smooth. Put the skate deck into the box you made bottom side up, and make sure it fits nice and tight in the box. Drill four screw holes in both sides of the deck, and insert the screws. # Step 5 Take two pieces of 3/4-inch plywood and cut them into 3 by 11 inches wooden slats. Drill two on the top of each slat, and connect them to the box. # Step 6 Insert thread rods into each of the two holes on both slats. Thread a nut onto each rod. # Step 7 Spray your mold with some WD-40. This will make for easy removal of the wood of your skate decks from the concrete of the mold. Set your box on a flat, level surface. # Step 8 Mix your concrete. Pour your concrete mix into the mixing bucket, and mix it according to the instructions on the bag. Fill the completed box with the freshly mixed concrete. Once the box is properly filled with the concrete, give it time to cure. The cure time depends on the brand and will differ depending on the temperature of the area you are constructing your mold in. # Step 9 Take the wooden box apart from around the concrete mold. If the wood is sticking to the concrete, you may have to use some tools to pry the wood from the mold. Be very careful when prying the wood from the concrete so that you don't chip or crack the concrete mold. # Step 10 Reconstruct the box you used, and start the whole process over, only put the other skate deck bottom side down to create the other part of the mold. Allow the concrete to set in the wood box again, remove it, and your skateboard mold is complete.

What materials are skateboard trucks made from?
Long board wheels or any skateboard wheels are generally made of polyurethane, ore just urethane. Long board wheels are generally softer and larger than regular skateboard wheels. The softer the wheel, the smoother and quieter the ride is, but hard, smaller wheels are good for landing tricks, but go slower and bumpier. Since long boards are generally not used for flip tricks, they can focus on speed and ride quality.

What is the difference between a long board and short board in surfing?
== == A shortboard while more difficult to stand up on is easier to maneuver. A longboard, also known as a Malibu, is easier to stand up on, making it better for certain conditions and types of surfing, they are usually nine to ten feel long with one to three fins. Their size can make them harder to get past the breaking waves than shortboards but they are still a better alternative for beginners due to the comparative ease of use. Both shortboards and longboards come in a variety of styles but the defining difference is usually size and to a lesser extent, the number of fins, as shortboards often have two, three or even four or five fins to make it easier to do tricks and such. There is a size in between these two boards called a "Minimal", which usually is around 7 feel long and the same shape as a longboard, these are aimed at being good beginner boards and are a balance of being short enough to easily get out past the break while being long enough for inexperienced users to stand up. Longboards have also existed much longer than shortboards, and were used as long as 250 years ago and probably longer by the Polynesians.

The key is in the pop, there needs to be more pop if it is moving from under your feet. I had the same problem for a couple of days and then realised that my tail was only just reaching the floor. The answer is just hit the tail down real hard!!
