mike12345 posted:According to the guy at the skate shop, I can expect to buy a new board every month. IF I keep using it a lot. That leaves me a little bit worried. I think me practicing pop-shove-its was the culprit, some awful foot positioning there (when landing/trying to land). You'd have to be skating incredibly hard or have awful technique to go through boards that quickly. I've been skating for about 15 years and get a new board about once a year. Even when I was younger and used to throw myself down stairs It was only like once every six months.

soggybagel posted:Okay I'm going to have to respectfully but completely disagree. If you are skating a ton (which of course is an extremely subjective word) you can expect to go through decks fast. 1 new board a year would be on the far low end if you're skating a good amount...technique aside. The type of skating you do probably has a lot to do with it as well. I spend most of my time skating ramps which is a lot less stressful on the board. If you're boardsliding jagged rocks or hitting 10+ stairsets regularly then I can see a board a month being plausible. I'm also quite light (~135lbs) so that probably has something to do with it. open24hours fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Aug 16, 2009 |
