There has been some buzz surrounding an online product “secrets of skateboarding” and I thought I would take a look at it for you. I want to first say that Secrets of skateboarding is indeed a real product that provides skateboarding trick tips.

What we have here is a product that address a lot of the main areas of skateboarding which people have questions about or want to learn. They go through how to ollie, kick flip,  steps to landing heel flips, and much more. This will help you learn how to skate fast.

The guide seeks to get a little deeper into how tricks are conducted. Rather then simply walking you how tricks are done in general they get into the details that are usually not addressed.

It is always good to get another persons perspective on how to ride so I would get a copy of secrets of skateboarding and learn those tricks that you just can’t figure out.

The other cool thing with this product is that they offer a complete money back guarantee if you aren’t satisfied. So what are you waiting for click the following link Click Here!

So lets hear it, what have you done to fill the void while you didn’t have a deck? Your idea may help someone else that comes to this site looking for a deck.

A good skateboard is a product of a few variables. The main things to consider are;

• Materials
• Shape
• Process

Materials
The materials involved in making a skateboard are the wood and the glue. The wood should be maple, more specifically hard rock Canadian maple. If anything else is used you will not like what you get. This is the case with boards purchased at large retailers. To skimp on the cost they will use a weaker wood such as pine.
I have made a few boards in my day and I can tell you the wood is everything. I live in the northwest and pine being indigenous to the area I though why not see how well it works.  Well, it doesn’t.  The grain structure is such that I had huge cracks right away
The other main material is glue. I don’t know a ton about the different glue types so I’m not going to pretend that I do but know that there can be quality issues her as well.

Shape
Obviously this is left to the opinion of the rider but the shape can make or break a board. If you don’t know what you want just ask someone in a lagit store and they should help you out. Key variables are length, width, nose and tail shape and oddly enough the center distance between the trucks.

Process
There isn’t much to pressing decks other then laying them up and squishing the crap out of em. The big guys do this with automated presses but it can also be done with a vacuum press.

So, as long as you buy from a reputable source you should be ok but now you at least can sound like you know what you are talking about next time someone asks.

We have successfully completed two giveaways and will be working on a third shortly so, the big question is; are we making any money? the answer is yes but not much. Like I said earlier Google won’t allow me to tell you our actual adsense earnings so lets just say the we are still in the red.

That is ok though. While it would be nice to make enough to pay for the skate decks, the true joy comes form providing a board to someone who needs it. If we could, we would give free boards to everyone but for now that is simply not possable.  thanks again to everyone for making this site possable. We will let you know as soon as the next deck is available. Don’t forget to subscribe to the RSS.

Remember to fill out the entry form with a complete address and a valid email otherwise we have no way of sending you anything if you win the drawing.

I am working remotly at the moment so my next poast will have the winner.

Thanks again everyone for participating.

Jut thought I would post an update for those of you that subscribes to the RSS. We are currently 75% full for the skateboard deck drawing/giveaway. I know skateboards are always a nice thing to get for free but is there anything else that you guys would rather have? We could do shirts, trucks, wheels, bearings, stickers, or anything else you might want. skateboards make for a good giveaway because they always seem to break.

So, let me know what you guys need in terms of skateboarding gear. Leave a post.

Thanks,

TJ
