Skateboarding

the skateboard is cheaper and is better for balance

and the ripstick is the opposite of that

First put front heel about an inch below bolts with toe hanging off, and back foot on tail, pop tail slide heel off inlet, and the biggest thing that I learned is to lean towards your back well doing it.

Van Wastell, Keenan Milton, Shane Cross, Phil Shao, Johnny Romano, and Mike Ternasky. I'm sure there are more but that is all I can remember.

it is mediocre

by the way DGK stands for DIRTY GHETTO KIDS

its the only brand in cooperation with Reebok

DGK is a company with a low demand and fan base, thus lowering the quality of the brand, DGK is a good brand for Beginners and retards

If you are a grommet (beginner in sk8ter talk) and you would like to do streetskating that involves kickflips, grinds, ollies, and kickturns then you should definetly get a trickboard. But if you are a more expierenced sk8ter who likes crusin' I reccommend a longboard. Overall a trickboard is more flexible and specifically designed for tricks.

I think the best wheels for sliding would be orangatang durain free rides, stimulus, or fat frees depending on the length of your board and on your weight, Also in heats are good the yellow wheel is the most slidiest from orangatng.

The truck has the most mass, but because it is at rest, the skateboard has the most momentum.

in walmart it is 2.88 the cheapest

it was invented in California by surfers who wanted to surf on land in the late 1960's

The "metal thing" I believe you are referring to are called "bearings", they make your wheels go round! They are simple to remove and to install, but considered the "ghetto" way, no tools required. To remove, take the nut off the axel so you can remove the wheel, but do not fully remove the wheel. Pull it almost all the way off, yet still touching the axel of your truck. Then start to bend it at an angle. The tork and force from your pull will remove them. This is just one way, it can damage your bearing, but most likely you will be fine, I've done it for 10+ years with no problems.

To install a "metal thing" into your wheels is easy too. Lay the "metal thing" loose on to your axel of your truck. Then, lay your wheel over it onto the axel and just push down. It will pop right in. Then take it off and turn the wheel over and put in the other one (one bearing for each side of the wheel).

If you ever run threw water, are going slow, see rust on them or haven't replaced them in a while...do so. New bearings are priceless and feel so good when you are riding...smooth as butter! If you have the cash, get new wheels too, nothing like a smooth ride from new wheels and bearings...you can get blank wheels for $150$20 for a whole set and decent bearings for $10-$25....it is worth it!

Hope this helps kids! One love!

One of the most famous skateboarding legends is Tony Hawk, which has a video game inspired with his name. Additional skateboarding legends include Christian Hosoi, Rodney Mullen, and Jay Adams.

To me, yes the ripstik is soooo much more fun. I love how it rides. It is so much more smooth than a skateboard. I've done both to be honest. i used to skateboard a lot and thought it wuz great until i learned how to ripstik. Then i knew i had to get one. so i got my my first ripstik and i got it in the sweet color blue. i ride it like everyday now and all of my friends have a ripstik too. Me and my friend have made up soo many beast tricks on our ripstiks. not to make fun of the skateboard or anything, its just my opinion.

It doesn't matter just choose which ones you like based on your style. If your a girl id go for the figher numbers. If your a competitive skater go for the 7.75's. If your just doing it for fun match the board size. In your case 8.

To put it simple a heel flip is where you kick your foot forward to do a 360 degree flip of the board. A kick flip on the other had is where you kick your foot backward to do a 360 degree flip of the board. It's that simple.

All different materials. Some are aluminium. Aluminium is light and it grinds well on ledges but it isn't very strong. Some are made from titanium which is vey strong but a little heavy. Most however are made from aluminium alloy which gives U a bit of everything.

Depends on what kind of skater you are or your size. Plan B boards tend to be smaller than Zero boards therefore good for a street skater who is into kickflipping stairs or nose sliding down hubbas. Zero's Tend to be bigger so therefore better for a larger skater or someone just beginning. A wider board will provide more balance, While it will flip slower. A skinnier board will flip faster, But will offer less balance.

Inertia

Skateboarders for Plan B are: Paul Rodriguez, PJ Ladd, Jerme Rogers, Danny Way, Pat Duffy, Colin Mckay, Brain Wenning, Ryan Gallent, and Ryan Sheckler

Rodney mullen did but there is only one youtube vid that shows him doing it.and its only for a split second.u can watch laser flips on youtube but most of them r nollie lasers

I have the same question. I just grab a ruler and put it on my feet and find out i have the same shoe size and i thing a 7.5 inch board whould be cool if or u can go bigger to a 7.75 i might just do that lol

skateboarding mainly originated from surfing, in california. when the surfers were bored, or when there were low waves, they would ride skateboards around for fun and for balance. these skateboards usually were cheap planks of wood with wheels from some rollerskates on the bottom

Skateboarding became popular in Venice Beach, Santa Monica, and other areas in southern California. Venice was once called Dogtown where it mainly began among surfers such as Stacy Peralta, Jay Adams, Tony Alva, Allen Sarlo, and Chris Cahill. They were known as the Z-Boys (Zephyr Competition Team). You can look it up on Wikipedia and IMDB lists movies and documentaries.
