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...)

How do you get sponsorships?

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.

How can you tell a fs trick from a bs?

If it helps at all FS means Front side and BS means Back side

If its grinding then BS is if you are approaching the grind with your back facing it. If its FS then its in front of you

If its rotation FS would be if you did a 180 degree spin spinning into your forward shoulder (Goofy = Spinning Clockwide / Regular = Spinning anti clockwide) If its a BS rotation you will start by spinning into your back shoulder. (Goofy = Spinning anti clockwise / Regulary = Spinning clockwise)

Then theres things like pop shuvits and normal shuvits. A FS pop shuvit would be you popping the board in front of you and a BS would be you popping the board behind you.

Grabs: Simple really FS grabbing the side of the board by your toes, BS grabbing the board on the side by your heels.

Inverts: Same as grinds but on the lip of a halfpipe.

Theres probably more but there all the ones i can think of.
