I have a Skatebolt electric skateboard. I paid 549.00 for it in the sale. It will do 25 MPH climbing 25% of the hill level and basically everything but the fastest kit will do. I also own 9 other skates, mostly longboards with a few old-fashioned sk…

With the best skateboard for college, you can not only get to school conveniently but also stay physically active.

Hello, this question is about skateboard. I'm learning about pintail with drop through longboard, do you guys have any suggestions, I'm just a newbie and learning how to skateboard.

For beginners, stepping into the wider world of skateboarding is a daunting prospect. From choosing the right deck for my style to selecting trucks and wheels, and from learning kickflips to rock drops, there is a lot to learn. Most folks have to le…

Shoe size isn’t the only factor that we have to consider. But I think you should also consider your build and body type. If you are a kid, it is obvious that you should take a mid-size skateboard.
-
Penny was a good choice for me when I first decided to start learning to skate. Suitable for walking on the street or walking in the schoolyard. And when you are fluent, you can switch to skateboards.

As far as I know, Santa Cruz, Antihero, Baker, and Real are the best skateboard brands. I have had a Santa for a long time, I don't remember what year, but since this brand is famous since the first time it has skateboarding, now its price is higher…

8.25 will be easier to flip and a little lighter overall, while the 8.5 will give you more room to land and maybe just a little more stable. Take a look at both sizes at a shop or park and decide from there.

Since studying skateboarding up to now, it has been about 5 months. I find myself not mature when doing difficult skills. My friend said that when you are familiar with rolling, you can start performing tips for beginners can take several months. Bu…

Does anyone use the Landyachtz Dinghy board like me? I'm a college student now and need something to get around campus. Skateboards don't have wheels to handle bumps like these. So this is perfect as it feels like a skateboard that I love with wheel…

My Nike shoe size is 14 and I use an 8.25 board, almost 5-inch toe is protruding.

I also thought it was just for decoration like a style 😂

If insoles are responsible for your footbed, paddings take charge of the rest of your foot’s areas. So, if you want to surround your feet with softness and comfort, consider buying a pair of fully padded shoes. These sneakers come with firm foams on…

Whether you are buying steel or ceramic bearings, see to it that what you are taking home is of superior quality. Just remember that bearings must be kept clean and well-oiled to sustain their long-term performance.
-
Choosing the appropriate bearings may significantly impact how fast you can go. Moreover, routine maintenance is a must because these parts may malfunction from time to time if they are old and improperly handled.
-
If your helmet incurs a few scratches, then it may not be the best time to get a new one. But if the shell cracked, you better consider buying a new one. Otherwise, you might only compromise your safety.

To me, GoPro is the best video camera for filming. It’s not a cheap skate camera, but I like it because it does more than merely record videos or take wide-angle photos. GoPro cameras come with advanced features that enhance video and picture qualit…

So my kids hated wearing helmets while riding, so I failed them and allowed them to go without especially since they only ride on our block. Welk that was a wring move, always make them wear a helmet!! My son had a very slow motion crash inyo the cu…

If there’s a mad rush for affordable yet performance-loaded bearings, then the Bones Reds Bearings will be the first to fly off the shelves. Even for a few dollars, these bearings deliver notable results.

Safety is an absolute requirement for quality skating. Whether you fall on or not, nothing beats prevention. You need to keep your wrist guards on when riding.
-
If you want to faster, you must first learn how to push faster. Proper technique and tricks are a must to achieve the speed you want. But too much of everything is not good at all. Increasing the speed means increasing your safety and precautionary …

Ceramic bearings are more recommended for pro skaters who are always thrilled about riding fast and doing hard stunts. High-end ceramic bearings are a bit pricey, but the durability and the performance that they can give you will be incomparable to …

Sporting the right set of protective gear can significantly reduce the risk of sustaining injuries and can even save lives. It should be mandatory for every to wear a reliable and highly protective helmet no matter how skilled or experienced they ar…

The majority of wheels today are of polyurethane materials. However, rollers vary in the formula used to produce urethane, which causes texture differences. It’s best to have wheels with a smooth finish. Otherwise, the rollers will feel sticky, lead…

The materials and types of trucks, bearings will be factors that determine if it is smooth and safe enough for me to ride on.
-
The cleaner and greasier my bearing, the better it will rotate. I clean the acetone seals, treat the inner metal ring gently. then apply skateboard bearing grease on the gaps between the balls.

Soft bushings offer enhanced flexibility when turning or carving in. Hard bushings are usually categorized within 96A and up. These bushings give you unmatched stability but are far less responsive for turning. On the other hand, soft bushings work …

To put it simply, the wheel becomes quicker as the bearings lubricate. The major reason to use bearing lubricant is to improve the rotational speed of the wheels through reduction of the friction ball. When the friction ball between the wheel and th…

As a rule of thumb, if you’ve got a larger diameter or softer durometer, or if you ride looser trucks, getting skateboard riser pads is a good idea to prevent wheel bites. It’s a must-have actually.

Your wheels don’t need to spin freely in 2 seconds. So, to further check, you should stand on for a few minutes and push it. If you’re having difficulty pushing or stopping, loosen the wheels slightly. If the wheels are rattling or you’re off balanc…
