should i get risers or shock pads for this combination? I dont want to get any wheel bite.

you won't get wheel bite with that combo I skate the exact same combo and had 1/8 risers on but took them off and still never got wheel bite. I only used the risers to keep the deck from getting hairline cracks. 53mm with lows is right above the wheel bite curve, you can get wheel bite if your trucks are super loose, I don't like mine that loose so it's not a problem for me. Risers can make a complete differance in your skating also usally it's a bad change if you're not use to them, if you're jsut starting out it shouldn't matter to much if at all. I always go with the thinest ones possible usally 1/8.

I BUY ONLY BLANKS BUT WONDER WAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN BLANKS AND PROS ARE…

some pro boards are made of different materials and have actual graphics but there also is no difference between walmarts and real boards. walmarts are 7 ply while pros are 6 ply but they have the same width and concave. blanks and pros are the same except cheaper and no graphic

I have 100$ and I really want a skateboard but I don't know what boards are good. What is the most durable and best overall board in your opinion?

Well, I wouldn't buy either of the two the guy said above because for one thing Wold Industries Boards chip up like hell and blinds are just as crappy. If you actually want a good complete, and since your probably a beginner, I would go with Black Label, Element, Habitat, or Almost. Almost is more of a recommendation if your going to practicing tricks every day, because for one thing, they do not wear out to very quickly. Only problem I have with mine is razor tail (that's when the tail/nose gets sharp and loses pop) But they are a little bit on the heavy side but not as heavy as Zero. I'd give their complete boards an 9/10 (I like Zero too)
Element has descent pop, light board, and a little bit of chipping, but not enough to screw you over. The boards don't split as easy as they would look. What I liked about my Element was is that it had a sheet of carbon in it, just like all of them do. This makes the deck lighter. 8/10.
Habitat makes a really good board, but they chip. There a lot similar to Element's boards, just the fact that they split when you land REALLY hard, like huge 8 set or something. 7/10
Black Label was the first brand of board I got. It actually was'nt mine. It was a hand-me-down board from a friend, and after about 6 years, it still some of the best pop on a board that I have ever had, even though the majority of the tail was shattered off. The only problem w/ black label is that they are a little heavy but the pop is amazing, and very durable too. 9/10
So, it all depends. Just take a choice from these brands and you should do fine. Ask any of the employees at your local skate shop. If you give them your shoe size, height, and weight, they can pick out the very best board for you. Mine was an Almost haslam v3. Although they ran out, they still found a great board for me.
For trucks, the brands you might want to think about are: Independant, Thunder, or Tensor. Independant's last FOREVER. They are a bit heavy, but they'll save you money.
Thunder's are great, nice and light, and the kingpins wear out a bit after a while but are great trucks.
Tensor's kingpins break when your grinding alot, but they are lighter than thunders.
I'd Suggest Indepandant as your first set, then you may wanna ste it up a little.
Bearings- Bones Reds if you wanna go with good stuff cheap, or, if you want to spend the cash, get Bones Swiss. Best bearings EVER
Wheels- Bones, Pig, or Spitfire. These are all great wheels and don't get coned fast unlike Hubba's
Now it's all up to you. Choose w/e you like or feel is best for you, I just would not consider buying World or Blind completes because they are actually little kiddy boards lol. If I were you, I'd save up that cash and build your own board. That's what I did with my Element. I did not want to buy a complete, I wanted my own thing. It came out to about 150$, but it was worth it.
Happy Skating!

The directors of Bona Boards Ltd, a major distributor of skateboards and skateboarding equipment and accessories, have the opportunity to sell a new range of boards imported from Japan. Before they can make a decision about whether or not to launch the new boards on the UK market they want to pilot sales in a test market area.

a) Describe what is meant by a 'test market' and explain how it could offer some protection for the business at Bona Boards Ltd.[4 marks]

the marketing research team at Bona Boards Ltd has to complete the background section for the test marketing plan.
b) (i) Explain how secondary research could be used in this project. [3 marks]
(ii) State TWO relevant sources of secondary data that they could use, justifying the use of each source. [4 marks]

my head totally blank!!o.O protection?! what protection? background section?

thank yoou!! ^^

I can give you very narrow idea. please expand it to your own word.

Test market: business sometimes check the demand of its own product (responsiveness) before it lunch its new product in new market– by various ways (ie free sample, ) the whole process is called test market.
you should consider cultural issue in 2 different country. try Edward T Hall's cultural model (high contex/low context) to explain.

Im 13 but amazing at woodwork and nut,bolts screws etc

Any ideas step by step instructions please

hey its simple me n my friends built a skatepark b4

it depends on what kid of ramp u want
we mostly built quarter pipes

ok but first u go get all the stuff you need

some ply wood (not that scatter crap u cant ride on it)
you need 3 sheets of ply wood probly 4 if you want a deck
make sure one can flex to go on the transition.

and you need 2×4's depending on how tall and wide you want the ramp affects how much 2×4's youll need

then you need your screws and etc.

but you lay two sheets of ply wood on top of each other and clamp them or do something to hold them together.
then you draw out your transtion and if you want a deck remember to draw it out to!!

then cut out the transition.

then decide how wide you want the ramp.
once you decide cut all your 2×4s to that length(remember the deck has to go on top so u might want to cut about half an inch shorter)
then for this you will need some help

you stand up one transition and have some1 else hold the the otherthen screw one 2×4 to the bottom at the back
and then one in the front but make sure it isnt so tall that it is
taller than the transition
then once you have thous on the bottom do one on the top
then it should be stading by itself then al the way down the transition put 2×4's like you did before thenit should look like a quarter pipe with out the part u ride on
then take the oher pice of ply wood and screw it onto the 2×4's that go down the transition and you should be good to go!

i hope this made sense to you.

My are Almost : Round 3 , Flip : Sorry, Really Sorry, Element : This Is My Element, Volcom : Let’s Live, and Globe : United By Fate 3.

I wish I could say I have seen a few. haha. But I’ve only seen parts of ones over the years, and only one full one that I can think of. Which is called “It’s Time” by Circa. It was really awesome though how it came with a Thrasher or Transworld mag I bought a couple years ago. And it’s a good video with good music to go along with the skating.

If anything, I’d like to see some old school skate videos from the early 90’s and 80’s. I also would like to see the ones you mentioned, not to mention the Zero videos. They’re one of my favorite skate teams and companies.
