Skateboarding

The best store is ToysRus where you can buy any type of tech deck.

me gusta el monopatinaje mucho

~andar n patineta= to skateboard

If you think tech decks are cool, that is your opinion. Other people may not think so. Maybe they are cool to you because of the color, yet to another person the color my be the fact why they don't like them.

7.5 inch axle width trucks. Every truck company uses different measurements, for the hanger and for the axle, so find the right sized truck width of the brand you like for your board. You want the axles to be the same width as your board or a little narrower. Not wider.

You don't need education, you need to be a good skater who loves to skateboard. But don't just go looking for sponsors. Just skate around where you live and skate in public areas that have skate shops. Then they will start to notice you, but you don't need education at all.

the "key Grip" handles lighting, shadows, all sorts of camera mounts, dolly tracks, and such, also often the key grip is the main safety guy on the set.

Government is against skating because sometimes skaters run people over and skaters were known in mid 1900's to do graffiti and illegal things. The government is not against skateboarding. But some opinionated people have gotten ordinances passed prohibiting it. And almost invariably as a result of the actions of a very few skateboarders (or of others, and skateboarders got the blame). A major concern is injury to the public. That's serious stuff. If a boarder wants to risk injury, he may do so. But sometimes unwilling persons who are merely "there" are struck. Not cool. There is more. Skateboarders can sometimes damage property while participating in their sport. Railings on stairways can be bent. Concrete can be chipped or cracked. (Yes, it can.) Benches can be broken. Landscaping adjoining places where skaters challenge fixed objects can be trashed. Litter can be left at the site of a skate. All this contributes to the degraded appearance of facilities, both public and private. And it costs money to fix it. But by and large, most boarders don't crash into people. They avoid them on purpose, going out of their way to do so. They don't want to injure anyone and (surprise!) they don't purposely set out to hurt themselves. Skateboarders don't generally break fixtures or damage the landscape. Yes, sometimes, but not usually. There are a few "hard core" skateboarders who have a "hard headed" approach to their sport and they give everyone else a bad name. And some locals have taken a hard approach to the "problem" of skateboarding. That's where the civil codes banning skateboarding came from. The government is not against skateboarding, but is stuck enforcing the regulations because some special interests got codes enacted (either rightly or unfairly) to prohibit it.

MAKE SKATING LEGAL

Reside...? I can tell this isn't a sk8r. Or at least a really SMART sk8r. Dude some advice. people will think ur poser if u use words like reside. I think it means where u live so don't say reside. Say how many sk8rs live in California. Unless u want people to think ur poser

There are a lot of good brands of skateboards i.e. Chocolate, Girl, Zero, Real, Anti-Hero, Roger, Stereo, Given, Agents In Red.

Bad brands i.e. World Industries, Enjoi, Darkstar,Almost, Blind several of these brands used to be the best brands but after they got so big they started having their decks made in China to make a larger profit margin....In other words they are sellout brands.

But i think its most about personal preference. My favorite is probably Real because they have a very precise inspection process and deeper concave and stiffer wood and glues .

Plan B is very light and so is almost. Zero boards are heavy and Darkstars are very heavy but Black Labels are pretty light. Same with enjoi.
-- Element's Fiberlight series is maybe the lightest 7 ply out there. but they break so i would go with the almost.

Santa Cruz makes a Power Lyte line that's one of the lightest and strongest I've owned. It's 6ply maple and a top ply of fiberglass. They get superior pop.

For the 2008 Games, no, but the International Olympic Committee has held discussions about introducing a skateboarding event for the 2012 Games in London. A final decision will probably come in late 2009 or early 2010.

Ski wax starts off with either a hydrocarbon or fluorocarbon wax. Fluro adds water-repelling power, but is worse for the environment.

Manufactures can then add lots of additives to improve speed, including additional fluorinated ingredients, graphite, molybdenum, or other powders. All of those powders decrease friction, either due to water or static electricity.

The cerebellum in the back part of the brain. It is what controls your balance and cordination which is key in skateboarding.

a skateboard is maple wood and glue

The only dangerous thing about skateboarding is the fact that you can fall off most of the stuff you skate on. If your a beginner skater, I would say the most dangerous thing you should worry about is falling off. If you are a skater that uses rails, curbs, does a lot of grinding, a lot of vert, and can do a lot of good "tricks" I would say to worry about protecting your head, elbows, and knees. There is a lot of safety equipment out there. Some of these include: * Helmet * Knee pads * Elbow pads ----

1.put the wheel half way were you put the wheel on the skateboard then push the front of the wheel down and the back of the wheel up and one will come off .do the same with the other if they don't come of put wd40 on them and let them rest a while and do the steps again. if you have any questions go to youtube.com

well no because Skateboarding is the most manliest sport like how people get hurt and how they do jumps plus i skate as well if you dont believe me watch scarred

They last somewhat long. Mine lasted probably a few weeks before the grip tape really wore down, and the trucks get loose pretty fast but mainly if you are kind of rough with them. I have broken one, but not because of doing tricks. Either way, they are a lot of fun.

I set the Guinness World Record on Nov, 30, 2008. 1546 without coming off my board. It took over 3 hours. You can google me or search the Guinness site. My name is Zach Kral. I also have the record for the most kick flips in 1 minute at 29.

The 1546 record appeared in the 2010 Guinness Book. The Most in 1 Minute is in the 2012 Guinness Book.

Peace!

the shape of the deck has evolved through out the years to meet the needs of skateboarders

Well, is it because you back foot is not far enough back on the tail. If that's not the prolem then try, when you pop your back foot make sure you hit the tail hard, then after slide other foot.

yes a hippie ollie is a real trick. its just where your riding and you jump up and land on your skateboard. the skateboard stays on the ground but u jump. very different from an ollie.
