There are toys called tech decks. They are miniature bikes and skateboards that you can purchase in the toy section of many stores, like Target.

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

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.

A lot of people say put your foot in kickflip position well I don't like that I like to put my back foot half way on the tail and my other one directly in the middle if the board with the toes hanging off a little I jump to the toe side and bend your knees to have a better pop but you Wanamaker scoop not to hard because your board might go crazy I Broke my dads rims trying it, but yes and when you land be at a decent height and land with some force so that you don't swerve all over the place and land sketchy.

Also if you want a better explanation just look it up on youtube.

They use china wood witch is soft not the beat type of wood

Etymology of the word "truck" probably comes from a shortening of the word "truckle". Truckle is related to the Latin word trochus, which means "iron hoop" or "wheel". Since the axles on skates were originally small, iron wheels, that is probably why they are called trucks.

the friction between the wheels and the surface of the ground affect the speed of the skateboard. fo instance if you ride the skateboard on a smooth surface (with less friction) the skateboard will go faster.

yes, they are the main substance for wheels today

2 bearing per wheel so there will be a total of 4 bearing in a whole scooter.

From eBay 1 or 2 tech decks = $6 to $7

From amazon 4 tech decks with a few parts = $13 or 6 tech decks with all parts = $15

most of the time there is no design on the bottom of a skimboard

According to answers.com: " Tech Decks were actually invented by a 12-year old Californian skateboarder named Steven Asher on a rainy day in 1998. Obviously unable to skateboard outside, his idea was to bring it inside. With his imagination, he created 3-inch cardboard replicas of real skateboards and drew graphics on the bottom to enhance their realism. Steven's father, Peter Asher, coincidentally was a toy industry veteran, and used his son's idea as a brand new toy wave, and thus Tech Deck was born. Steven insisted that Tech Decks were to represent the real thing; real metal trucks, real grip tape, real graphics and real wheels. "

Dogtown skateboards was his first sponsers

The rules of riding a skateboard is:

1. Wear a helmet if you are under sixteen years of age

2. Ask your parents

Also, some areas have laws regarding whether or not you can ride a skateboard in that specific area.

Risers raise the board up so you don't get wheel bite (when you turn and the wheels stop against the board, ending in a face plant). They're similar to shock pads, which are more rubbery. They're mainly used by vert skaters, because skating vert requires larger wheels, thus, increasing the chance of wheel bite. Honestly...if you get wheel bite coming down on a 16 ft ramp, its gonna hurt. i wouldn't recommend it for street skaters, especially if you skate aggressively, because you will probably just crack the board before you get any use out of it. Basically, use em if you skate more vert, but avoid them if you skate street. VooDoo13: I agree,but also disagree.....Wheel bite is bad, and yes, unless you crank down on the kingpin so it won't move if you're using 57mm or larger wheels you'll probably need risers...The use of shock pads(also called 'soft risers'), however, I feel, are benefcial to the life of your deck. I'm not sure why annyone wouldn't recommend them.. it's a preferrence sure, but to stay away from them on the street? Hmm, not sure about that one. I use 'em on all 8 of my street decks. All are 1/8" so it's not going to thow off any trick by adding that tiny bit of height. Hard risers I only use on my vert deck and they're a big old school 1/2" , but they're another story for street.. Shock pads even at 1/8" lessen the stress at the points where the deck meets the truck, therefore decreasing the potential for splitting your wood around the bolts or even cracks on the base of the tail and nose..This is why they call 'em "Shock Pads".. They Pad your deck from the Shock(of the landing).

There two main measurements - width and length. Depending on what kind of skateboarding you are into, sizes varies. For street style it's usually 7''- 8''. Many have found that 7.75'' as the mainstream, however many 8'' are made today. Length is important as well, but it's not so common to be mentioned. As far as I know, only Baker and Reinbe decks publish their width and length measurements, so you might want to check them for length measurements. But usually it's around 32''

Other two measurements, are nose and tale length. That is important thing if you're skating. Tale is shorter then nose.

Hope that this will help you.

It depends. Without going into too much detail, all trucks are essentially the same, aside from length. If a truck is too short for a board, the wheel will hit the deck and cause wheel-bite. Wheel-bite can stop your board entirely when making a turn, potentially causing injury. If you can't afford to purchase longer trucks, buy some risers. Risers go in-between the deck and the truck to lift the deck and prevent wheel-bite. Just make sure that you purchase corresponding hardware to accommodate your new risers. Good luck.

To put grip tape on a board you must first take the tape off of the plastic/wrapper. Then you put it on your board try not to get any air bumps. Then cut off the extra tape on the sides with a knife or maybe scissors. take some of the extra grip tape and file down the edges. Then take your screws for the trucks and push them through the holes. After that just attach the trucks, wheels, bearings, risers, and hardware and you're good to thrash.
