The Skateboarding Questions thread

[[Moose]]

I feel as though all of us have general knowledge of skating.
Some more than others of course, so I created this thread so you can ask skateboarding questions to skaters.

Wanna know why water is bad for your boards health? Then this is the thread for yo ass.

"WTF is wheelbite?" Ask in this thread, fool!

"Why does everyone love Mark Gonzales?" I don't know, but someone in this thread does.

You can ask questions in this thread without (too) much ridicule for your lack a knowledge in wheelyboarding.
So here's this thread, don't let it die too quickly guys

"WTF is wheelbite?"

"Why does everyone love Mark Gonzales?"

Damages Your Board, Weakens it. Easier to Snap when soaked.

When your wheels are too close to the bottom of the deck and
cause you to scrape it up and if it's bad enough it can send you flying to the ground.

Did you have a question Moose?
I feel like I could answer anything about skateboarding..
Can't say I'd be 100% correct but I learned most of what I know from other Skaters.

this is pointless you can just ask briden

[[Moose]]

Briden sleeps though...I think.

I dont have any questions personally, but if somebody did, I guess they could ask it here and someone could answer.

[Fecal Face]

This thread makes me sad.

If you don't understand absolutely everything about skating, get the fuck out!

"Why does everyone love Mark Gonzales?"

Because he's the most laidback person ever. His skating is out of this world. Had the honor to skate with him for a day in paris. he showed us all the spots they skated in video days. it was like "hey, look over there. jason lee did kickflip bs 5050 on it." really cool guy, one of the coolest skaters i've met!

and wheelbites are the worn places on the bottomside of your skateboard right over the wheels. the graphics will vanish and you will keep greyish moulds from your trucks are being to soft and you have to much weight either backside or frontside...

Is Popwar back?
I've been seeing more and more of their boards popping up for sale (online, not in shops around me).
Their Facebook doesn't off much info other than "Good things coming in 2013"
Anybody know anything about this?

There is no such thing. Loose trucks saves lives

try loose trucks on a nice downhill, nothing more refreshing than whobbling trucks that get out of control... but when not riding downhill, my trucks are whobble-pudding <3

Love loose trucks, easier to avoid collisions in crowded skateparks, and just a more enjoyable ride for me. I like em for hills too but I do more carving than bombing these days, still a little speed wobble isn't such a bad thing.

[knexzor]

I guess you'd have to tighten 'em up a tad for the real SF style hills but Sweden is kinda flat so I get by with a couple speed checks

[Hobbs]

i actually just tightened my trucks today, helps with control!
