I am teaching my self...?

Question

i'm teaching myself to skateboard and i can go pretty well but the only problem is i feel like i put my foot down to often to kick myself to keep going. its hard to expleain. i feel like i dont go far enough...also. i'm not too interested in tricks so would a long board be more what im looking for?

Answer 1

No.

long boards are not good for a tight budget and they are easy to wipeout on.

what you need is either a pir of boneswiss bearings or reds barrings these can be purchased at any skate shop.

the bones swiss run anywhere from 20-45 dollars and reds run from, 10-25 dollars.

i recommend reds.they are good for a tight budget and theyre cheap fast and last long. the problem wit your board is the barrings are not good. a good set of barrings you do not need to push of much. when you go to the skate sjhop and buy your barrings have them put the barrings in for you because if they are put in too tight then they cn break and they are worthless. also do not expect any barrings you buy to break in right away. spend time on your board and they will be FAST just avoid dirt gravle and water and your barrings can last up to 3 -10 years depending on the bearrings you get
