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.

What is Better skateboard or bike?

scootering vs. skateboarding

I have to say, Scootering is safer because it has a handle bar and Skateboarding is not. It is also noisy while Pro Scooters (not *%*&@!# razors) are smooth and silent. Skateboarding is not necessarly harder than scootering but scootering is alot better.

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.

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

There are many ways to break in your new shoes. One way is to repititively bend your shoes in half.

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.
