Skateboard Planet

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.

I've had a skateboard since i was 7yrs old and i'm thirteen now. I found it again and really wanted to skateboard, but i've been practising ollying for a while now (since june last year)on grass, not that much though, but i just can't seem to. Am i doing anything wrong? Do i need a good skatebaord, and how long did it take you to olly? Any other info would be great too.

Slam your back foot down on the tail of your skateboard as hard as you can. At that moment, you want to also jump into the air, off of your back foot. This part is key, and takes practice. The trick is in getting your timing right. You want to slap the skateboard’s tail down, and as it hits the ground, jump off of that foot into the air. Make sure to pull that back foot high into the air. It's a quick, snapping motion.

Don't practice on the grass anywhere harder would be better you can ever do it on carpet I do all the time. Your board shouldn't matter for doing ollies so you're probably okay there, might want something better in the near future not sure what you got, probably a toys r us board or something it's all good. It took me about a week to learn it but I REALLY wanted to learn it back in like 1992. Just keep practicing and you'll get it. I posted a link to a pic of how your front foot needs to look as you drag it up on the board, hope this all helps, good luck.

today i was riding my skateboard fast down hill. i did not do anything. no kick flips, no grinds, not even an ollie. i got home, looked at the bottom, and what do you know?! one of my trucks has a huge crack! now i got these about a month ago, peril trucks. never heard of it, but they were $40. does anyone know if they would replace them, or if not, what kind of trucks should i get? im looking at element since i know its a good company..

well first off if u never heard of a company its usually not a good idea to buy it. i suggest going to there website or the store u bought em from and ask just make sure u tell them that they cracked on there own, or that they came that way. independents are very strong trucks but like the other dude said there pretty heavy, tensor makes some strong, light trucks by using more magnesium than usual so they can take off extra weight without sacrificing strength and the magnesium is harder to bend, krux is also another good company but as for element its really just a mainstream company beginners buy because they see it everywhere on clothing. you should get a truck by a company that specializes in making trucks because if the company is only working on one part then all the effort is put into it and makes it much better.

I have recently bought a pair of Bauer turbos and the wheels and bearings need replacing. I seem to be able to find more choice of skateboard accessories than skate. I do not want to spend too much (I'm no pro!) but just want to bomb around the roller disco in retro style! Any suggestions where I can look?

A used skateboard advertised in paper (for parts), web, e-bay, amazon etc would be a good place to start. Another place would be a general sporting goods store. Then try the neighborhood, who knows what might turn up!!! Good luck!

What skateboarding deck should i buy?

DON'T LISTEN to any of these people. If you ask a question like this there obviously going to just tell you there favorite deck. But everybody likes different types go to your local skate shop and ask to see some decks you want to tryout and see what feels comfortable. Ask them any questions you have.

My son seems to go through a pair every few weeks. Is there something which i can use to make the fabric stronger, like a glue , preferably something transparent.

stay on the skateboard and get your balance when you jump off to the pavement thts what kills the shoes

Well to all the skateboard shops in Daly City, im looking for a shop that would like to sponsor a group. about mabey 5 guys are in my group and all want to get sponsored, half of us are good but 2 need more practice, we just want to know what we need to do, how we need to do it, and where we need to do it. If any local shops wants new skaters, conact my e-mail. polamalu808@yahoo.com

bro, if you need real sponsors, (cash pay check), you need to go to contests and get noticed or just go to CA and try to find some shop to sponsor you.
on the other hand there is this website called: (www.loopd.com) and you fill out the forms and apply for sponsors they will give you discount coupons in return for being on their support team.
try it and then under the search catagorie type in my name: (vitalis)
and ill help you through with the rest of the set up

PS i have 13 sponsors on loopd.com

How many years has the FLIP TOUR been around?

and

What FLIP TEAM MEMBERS have participated in every FLIP TOUR?

That’s a very hard question indeed!

However, none of the Girl members would be on the Flip tour, they would be on the Girl tour.

The only thing I can suggest is to look through archives on skateboarding magazine websites, try Transworld or Thrasher or something.
