Why do your feet stick to a skateboard?
The short and easy answer to this question is really that a skater's feet do NOT stick to the skateboard. Shoes (or bare feet on that rare occasion) can be lifted upwards off the deck at anytime. However, most decks are topped with grip tape, a sandpaper-like surface that prevents slippery-ness when it comes to side-to-side or toe-to-heel movement. This "grip" is what allows certain tricks to be performed, through the friction and a fairly precise series of movements.
For instance, when doing an ollie, the tail is pressed downward with the back foot. This brings the nose of the board into the air. The front foot then essentially kicks the nose of the board forward, using the friction of the griptape and the shoe to push the nose forward and back down, which subsequently brings the tail up into the air.
This is a motion that is much better seen that explained with words, so for more detail on the ollie and other tricks, please search YouTube for more detail.
I hope this answers your question!

How good are pop-lite skateboards?
Pop lites are pretty good for their cost. GREAT POP and long lasting. BUT DO NOT GRIP THEM WITH THE GRIP THAT IT COMES WITH the grip is terrible so just go to your local skate shop and get it gripped there, so buy the 5 for 30.00 to test them out, if you dont like them just sell the other ones for 10 bucks. and youll make as much as you lost . so there you go.
have a good one, and dont break any bones.

What is the difference between a target skateboard and a skateshop skateboard?
The difference is that target skateboards are completely fake. They suck and aren't even really wood. They are just made out of hard plastic and cheap metal.
Skateboard shops sell great skateboards made out of hard wood and great metal. You can see the difference just by looking at the board and by the way it feels when you ride it.
... actually it is real wood because I just finished breaking the tale practicing my ollies... how ever it is probably very cheap, poor quality pine wood. Guess Target just made money off of my wife... bastards! (Luckily purchased a real board from skate shop... just a few days later... costed more but now I can shred with out worries...)

it depends on what you want to get sponsored for. Make a video of you doing whatever you can do and send it to a company that specializes in your sport, it helps if you put in a bit of background detail about how long you've been doing the sport etc. Start off with small companies, my friend has just been sponsored by a small company called rough diamond. then you can gradually work your way up.
