The skateboard that can take you from one spot to another and you don’t even have to use your feet! It will do all the work instead of you and transport you wherever you want in up to 21km/h speed, fast as a bicycle.
Speed. People nowadays can’t get enough of it. There are ample ways to reach ridiculous speeds: fast cars, to racing bikes, superbikes and skiing all break the bounds of ‘too fast’. However, a group of the longboarding community-a subset of the skateboarding community-seem to disagree. They ride their longboards, long, wide skateboards with big grippy wheels, down mountain roads at speeds between 30mph and 70mph, reaching 80mph at the professional end of the sport.
Skating is a very misinterpreted sport revolving around disrespect to authority with a rebellious attitude. But it is much more than that. Skateboarding is an outlet for creativity, a stress reliever, and teaches you perseverance. It is a great and productive way to relieve stress, instead of sitting at home playing video games; it is a good break from everyday life.
Next, you will have to decide if you want a longboard, a street board or a classic board. Burton skateboards include each of these.
Skateboards and Longboards share a similar structure. They both share four wheels that contain bearings that allows the wheels to continuously spin for a while. They both share trucks that contain bushings that act as a cushion that allows the board to turn smoothly. They both share a deck that is usually made from plywood. Other boards would be made out of bamboo.

Skateboarding requires skill, and incorporates the laws of physics while getting exercise and reducing air pollutants.
Have you ever wondered why the skateboard was created? In this essay I will inform you of how skateboarding has evolved and become an action sport that is recognized around the world.
What catches the eye most when looking at a potential new surfboard is usually the overall shape, length, or even the color and graphics. Less attention is given to a key component: the fin. But this small appendage is responsible for much of your new board's performance.

Once all four wheels are in contact with the ground, the skater stand on top of the board with his feet touching the grip-tape. There are two different “stances” a person can take when riding a skateboard. The nose of the board is the front and will be thicker and longer than seen in the tail. The tail of the board is considered the back and is thinner and shorter than the nose. If a skater rides with their right foot forward (near the nose) this is called a “goofie” stance, while riding with the left foot forward is called a “regular” stance. The normative belief then is for the skater to use their back foot to accelerate them forwards by pushing of the ground. For the purpose of this paper, we will imagine a person on top of the board as just described (in either stance), and disregarding the friction caused by the grip tape.
For figure skates to be able to glide across the ice, the ice needs to be almost frictionless.
The key to success while playing an on-ice sport is knowing the equiptment. The most important piece of equipment is what allows us to even skate on ice: Ice skates. Made for different things, they all look different and have different components. One thing they have in common is that the blade is made from carbon steel. When skating, it cuts through the ice, creating just micro-millimeters of water and that’s how people skate on ice. Although hockey, figure skating and speed skating are all performed on ice, it is necessary to use different skates to be successful.
Skateboarding is really easy to do when you come to think about, all it really is balancing on a board with wheels and finding your dominant foot and leg to push yourself with. The first step to conquering the board is to get over come your fear of riding. This has to be one of the most important steps because if you don’t get over your fear you will most definitely fall on your butt or even worst your... face! Now do you really want to fall on your face or butt? Yea that what I thought. But the most easy way to conquer your fear is to get on a board on a flat street and have a friend push you down the street. Once you are comfortable with the board the next step would be to find your balance. The most simple way of doing this is... just standing on a board on a flat street/drive way and just stand on the board in till you have found and achieve your balance on the board.
