Keeping Your Board in Good Shape
If you don't want to spend $80 a month then you should read this text:
1. To prevent your board from chipping you should file down the nose and tail of your board so that you can see 3 layers (at least) of wood on the nose and tail.
2. Prevent your board from getting water logged you should not ride in the rain especially if your board is chipped. Because when the water gets in-between the layers of your board then you have a problem!
3. Keeping your grip tape in good condition: you should always clean of the pieces of grass or nature that get caught in you shoes and get into your grip type. Take a tooth brush a very small amount of water and soap. 1/4 of this should be soap.
4.This is obvious, don't ride in the rain it really messes up your bearings!
5. When putting speed cream on your bearings don't dump the hole bottle or it will take a lot longer time to fix that.
6. Trucks: It's kind hard to wreck these. If you have a stripped axel then you have some filing to do. Try to keep the nuts sticking out over your axel that way the top of the nut wears down and that's a lot better than your axel wearing down.
