Skateboard decks FAQs
Q: What should I wear when I skate?
A: A good pair of jeans is recommended to keep your board from scratching
up your legs. Many riders also insist on wearing tight-fitting clothing
that enables them to do tricks without their clothing getting in the
way.
Q: What are the main differences between a longboard and a
regular skateboard?
A: Longboards are mainly used for transportation and speed. They are
long and unsuitable for jumping tricks like kick flips.
Q: How do I do an ollie?
A: Balance your weight over the middle of the deck and place one foot
on the kicktail. While popping the kicktail down to the ground (listen
for the slap sound), simultaneously slides your other foot up the deck
while jumping forward. If done correctly, the skateboard will leave
the ground.
