We will now select a cool skateboard
The first and perhaps most important question, which is given every beginner skater: "Which board is the best, most robust, reliable and generally high quality?"
Unfortunately, there is "the world's best board, they all have their own advantages and disadvantages. Of course, there are well-known, well untwisted firm, which is riding a big part of the skaters (Santa Cruz, Deca, Blind, AWS, World Industries, Girl) and more recently formed companies (such as True), which have not yet managed to distinguish himself, and, consequently, they are a bit cheaper than the above.
Choose the board starts to probably the width of the board. Measured in inches - from 7.5 to 8.5 centimeters, or from 19 to 21.5. There are boards and 18.7, but it is very rare (Alien Workshop). This difference is very significant in the performance of stunts and style (vert or street).
Also there is such a thing as concave (concave) - bend the board along its entire length on each side, and angle of elevation of the nose and tail. The deeper the concave, the better feel the board during the tricks, twists easier and easier to land. The shorter tail (or nose) and the more he lift angle, the higher the obtained ollie, the longer, the easier it is to make nose and tailslide.
In Street's better to ride a board with a good concave (board AWS, Element, Santa Cruz, Deca, Blind, World Industries, Foundation, etc.) with respect to the ramp, then for the best for a beginner board with a slight concave (eg board Girl, particularly pro-model Colin McKay).
On a wide board easier to perform complex tricks by long distances or at high altitude. It is easier kept in flight. On narrow boards to perform well fast clear flip face and the pipe and just as easily go with them, for example, heelflip to 5-0 varial out easier to do on a narrow plank, and kickflip 10 stairs easier for a wider, though it is a matter of habit: ).
I advise beginners to buy something about 20, 20.5 cm, with an average concave. Later you will feel that you like - wide or narrow boards. You decide.
How to select a professional cool skateboard ?
Recently increasingly more frequent and more frequent it is possible to see the groups of young people with the boards on four wheels near any of monument. Skeytbording - the very entertainment and stormily developing form of extreme sport, which conquers is increasingly more worshippers. But more than it is confident, that few people know, from where appeared skateboard …
History of skateboard (skeytbord)
But was it created, it is no matter how strange, by California serferami in 1958. This was simple board for serfing with the wheels tightened to it. To turn on it was practically impossible, yes even they rolled themselves on them simply from the hills. Therefore this board rapidly tired to [serferam]. But in 1971 Richard Stevenson from Los Angeles improved [skeyt]. Board obtained absolutely new form - the bent tail and slightly flanged. Board it became possibly to govern, to turn.
The most main event in [skeytbordinge] occurred in 1975: in the Dale- fog passed the first competitions in [skeytu] of such scale (it was gathered approximately 400 people). But revived [skeytbording] only two people: Of [olli] Of [dzhelfand], which learned to make known to all [skeyteram] trick “Of [olli]”, which is been the basis of all it was special effect, and by Rodney Mallen, which devised on the base “Of olli” many diverse was special effect, which are now considered base. Everywhere appeared skateboard , they began to build skateboard - parks.
In the eightieth years for the different reasons in California and some other states they began to shut skateboard - parks. This led to the fact that skateboard left to the streets, thus calling in more and more than the [nekatayushchikhsya] people. The set of firms and brands, which are occupied by sale of skateboard - inventory, began to appear. Began to be opened many skateboard -shopings, which propose entire variety of skateboard - goods.
In Usa,Russia ,France,Israel,Holland, at the given moment, sufficiently many young people roll themselves on skateboard .
We will now try to select a skateboard (skeytbord)
The selection of skateboard - matter absolutely simple, but it is necessary to approach seriously, it depends on this, how much will be held your board, and, possibly, also your health. Now in the stores this variety of skateboard - equipment is represented, that the eyes scatter. Absolutely each [skeyter] selects for itself the specific firms, which generate boards and other parts of skateboard , to which it entrusts or which simply please it.
I will begin from the fact that entire skateboard in the collection is called complition (complete).
The board of skateboard is called sounding board. Its bent ends are called nose and tail - before and back respectively. Deca- is made from the specific quantity of layers of maple (most frequent - 7, more rarely they are extended 9- layer, still thinner frequent - 6- layer) strongly pressed and glued between each other. Some sounding boards from below have one additional additional plastic layer slick, necessary for the slip along the rails. But we are recommended to consider that, selecting this sounding board, you will obtain heavier skateboard . But is necessary whether this to you, if you only do begin or do not plan be occupied to soon by ex-threesmall ride? Perhaps, no.
Depends that, how rapidly deca- it will begin to be divided into layers on the quality of glue. Length of sounding board on the average - 80 centimeters. Its width is different - from 19 to 21. On the narrow boards more easily turn the tricks flipy To the wide sounding boards more conveniently to land after the successfully executed trick. The sounding boards are also had so-called konkeyv (concave) - these are the lateral bends, which facilitate the fulfillment higher than mentioned flipov. The depth of these bends so is distinguished from one board to the next.
Each board has different elasticity, which influences the height of leap on it (with the fulfillment of any trick it is done the so-called “flick” by the edge of board against the earth, in consequence of which board seemingly it resiles from the earth). Most popular and most reliable firms: Zero, Toy Of machine, Zoo Of york, Santa Of cruz, World Of industries and many others.
He recommends attentively to look with the purchase of the sounding board Of us, it is not stratified somewhere. So it is important not to purchase “dry” sounding board, which very debt is stale to skateboard store. Such boards very rapidly break. And still - the deca- less it weighs, thereby, in addition, to more easily make tricks on skateboard .
To the sounding board is glued the sandpaper -skateboard gripteyp (griptape). This usual emery paper, only is more ruggedized and on the skateboard basis. It is necessary, that the feet not “went for a walk” on the board.
Skateboard Suspensions (track-links)
To the sounding board from below are tightened the suspensions - track-links (trucks). The elastics, which protect sounding board from the load, usually lie down between the sounding board and the track-links. Suspensions are distinguished by their weight and strength. Naturally, the thicker the suspensions will be, those more durable, but also the weight of skateboard (skeytborda) will be more.
we advise to observe one simple rule with the collection of its skateboard (skeytborda): it is important to select track-links so that the wheels would be found completely under the board and would not project on the side.
Most extended firms: Krux, Independent, Bullet.
Skateboard Wheels
Wheels OF skateboard
For the suspensions of skateboard are put on the wheels. Wheels are distinguished by the diameter and the hardness. As a whole the diameter is not important, more important hardness. Soft wheels badly hold speed, but it is pleasant to drive on them, they transfer less than vibrations and to govern skateboard on such wheels more easily. Although the higher coefficient of adhesion of soft wheels has reverse side - because of the friction they more rapidly are worn out, yes even the collected speed rapidly falls. Rigid - on the contrary, hold well speed, but to drive on them not very pleasantly - skateboard (skeytbord) strongly vibrates.Therefore soft wheels are better to take for the rolling in the ramp, and rigid - for the rolling on the street or in the park.
Skateboard Bearings
In Bearings of Skateboard
With the putting on of wheels for the suspensions inward are packed the bearings - on 2 into each wheel. In skateboard Bearings (skeytbord Bearings), as in the rollers, are used the bearings of standard ABEC. There are bearings of different of speed. Most extended - ABEC 3, ABEC 5 and ABEC 7. if is good to look, is possible to find still ABEC 1 and ABEC 9. speed of bearings is proportional to number in the name - the greater the number, the greater their speed.
It here like transferred all parts of [skeytborda] and gave on them information…
I will say also that to novice it is best to select first precisely among finished skateboards devices It is simple because it is complicated to solve for itself at first - however, which to you is necessary from [skeytborda], as you want to roll itself, where it is how much. It is not worthwhile to take Chinese boards, since this will noticeably slow down your instruction in rolling on skateboard (skeytborde) - they are wider, them less or lack generally wheels, in them sufficiently weak flick, they rapidly are divided into layers and so forth
Compulsorily should be selected its first skateboard in the specialized store, where the understanding salesman- consultant to you everything will explain and will show and will advise concrete articles.
And as always do not recommend strongly to economize, since this then will affect the period of life of article, in this case, skateboard skeytbord.
Successful to you purchase and the successes in the rolling!
