What do you do if you cant get the tail of your skateboard to pop while doing an ollie?
glue that sh*t back together, get the duck tape and shred that b*tchhh.
actually, you need to get a new skateboard. you cant put wood back together.
here are some issues you might have with you tail since you werent specefic.
Razor edge - you've been shredding and stopping with the end of your skateboard. stopping with it is a bad idea. first, it will get to a really sharp point. when your riding and fall of that sh*tt might slam you in the ankle and cut you like you disrespected that n*gga in prison.
Chipped - if you start doing flip tricks like 360 flips or Backside Heels, your bound to chip the edge like my peice of sh*t plan B. the wood will come off in slivers and just keep coming.
snapped tail - i think you know its time to put your board to rest. thank it for all its time, patience, perserverance, ill tricks you learned, and buy a new one
What type of wheels can you put on a penny board?
Longboard wheels have a small hub, or core, inside it. Skateboard wheels also have this. This allows you to put bearings inside of both of them and can interchange what trucks you put on it. Generally, longboard wheels fit on normal skateboard trucks but a problem you will encounter is wheelbite. You may need to sand the board for wheel wells or put big risers on your board. Another solution is buying harder bushings for less turn and lean.
