How long do sk8boards usually last?

Question

I am just learning how to ollie, so i dont do any really extreme tricks. And also, give me days, month, exc. dont just say "a while". A good brand would help too. and only if u ever had that brand please...thanks!! =]

Answer 1

I think it'd depend on how good you are, how often you use it, and what you use it for.  If you grind a lot then it'll wear down the middle of the board and make it more likely to break.  Plus one bad move can snap it in half.

Answer 2

it lasts right until that point where u break it. on any random day that my buddies n i go sk8 at night we can bust like 4 boards in one night belive it or not.

Answer 3

It all depends on your style of skating. Ive skated with pros that have skated the same board for months at a time, but on the other hand there are times where you just have people that skate a certain way and land in the middle/harder on the tail/nose....

Answer 4

well depends wat kind of deck u have i like zoo yorks and idk how long thay usally last ive had mine for only 2 yrs now soo id say 2-5 yes or less if u snap it in half

Answer 5

it all depends on a number of factors. how thick is the board? obviously and medium wood will not typically outlast a thick wood.

also, your technique plays a major roll in how long it'll last. for example, i tend to really kick pretty hard when i ollie to get the max out of it... at the peak of the jump i usually slam my foot back down much more vigorously than most of my skate buddies do. this isn't that big of a deal when we're just skating around, but if we're jumping something huge i tend to get more broken boards than they do.

finally, it depends how often you skate (as you might expect). someone with a cheap board who skates once a week isn't gonna be buying more boards than someone else with a high quality board who skates three hours a day

hope this all helps!

Answer 6

A good board should last about 4 months, 19 days, 12 hours, 7 minutes, and 34 seconds. Be careful and wear lots of pads and a nice helmet. You'll do great.
