Do you ever find yourself pushing your skateboard more than skating it? Or have a hard time getting those kickflips around with those big longboard wheels you put on? When you spin your wheel does it sound like a rusty washing machine? Turns out wheels and bearings affect your roll more than you think. Sometimes simple technology gets easily over-complicated, so we are going to break down the biggest differences and give you a few tips to get you moving faster, longer, and funner. (Yes, funner.)

Welcome back, now that you are bejeweled in a fancy new set of certified-safe skateboarding equipment it is time to discuss the ACTUAL skateboard and its effect on your life goals and passions.
A common mistake when beginning skateboarding is purchasing a skateboard deck that is in fact not the correct size for your intended style or body composition. Skating the wrong type or size of board can set you back on the learning curve a great deal and can make all aspects of skating just that much more difficult. Try learning to ollie on a board that’s wider and heavier than you are… then you’ll understand what we mean.
Sadly, some of us have to learn the hard way. Pay heed to this guide and you will only have your own inabilities and fear to blame for your skateboarding performance, the way it was meant to be.
It’s that time of year again, and the summer is on its glorious way. As Superman gained his strength from the Earth’s yellow sun, so too do we, emblazoned with new abilities, vigor, and renewed interests.
This happens every year. A few days of scattered sun and every boy and girl in the tri-state area begins to recall that they are die-hard skateboarders. To put it simply, shredding the gnar becomes a necessity, not a choice.
We dust off our antique skateboards, water-logged and pressure cracked to the core, and rush off in to the waning evening light to try and 360 flip that 4-stair in front of the apartment building. Haven’t been on a board in a year? Doesn’t matter! Haven’t procured safety gear or checked your set-up? So what!… Not surprisingly, the board breaks and we almost break ourselves, the harsh realization sets in that it isn’t as easy as it looks in those videos after all. Now, a new board is required and a few weeks to recuperate, if only we had prepared beforehand!
Skateboarding is tough business, but to make it a little easier on you, follow our three part skateboard guide BEFORE attempting to become the next Nyjah Huston this summer. For your own sake and the sake of others around you.
