secondhand skateboard problem?
heya,
newbie here, on both forum and skateboards. not sure if i got a dud or if this is normal, was trying out my secondhand skateboard in an empty carpark (concrete floor) but it got to a grinding halt cuz it hit a piece of twig (1 inch roughly).
i enjoy kissing concrete on all fours as much as the next person, but is this normal ...?
ta, john

Is the twig 1 inch long or 1 inch in diameter?Originally Posted by excalibr
1 inch long or high either way youll get caught on it
1 inch long. i actually felt as if something got stuck and it scraped hard against the concrete floor, grinding it to a sudden halt. i could see the marks it left.
thing is i wasn't even going that fast ... and if i were, how r u supposed to spot something so small which blends in with the ground anyway
You go fast so small twigs don't stop you.
the best is when it happens when your coming up to a set of stairs, preferably getting ready to nollie
learn to combat roll
It gets even better when you're tricking fakie down a big ass bank and hit a pebble.
Slideeeeeeee.
