With the development of trendy culture, more and more people are playing skateboards all over the world. Skateboarding is also about constantly challenging yourself and taking risks. You must be interested in this knowledge about skateboarding.


Knowledge about skateboarding:


1. Skateboarding is the sixth most popular sport in the world.


Skateboarding earned this ranking based on the number of skaters. More than half of all U.S. skaters live in California, making it one of the most popular sports in the world.


2. Outdoor skate parks.


The first public outdoor skate park opened in Florida in 1976.


3. Norway doesn't like skateboarding.


Skateboarding was banned in Norway from 1978 to 1989 due to a large number of skateboarding accidents. Importing skateboards, selling skateboards, or even owning skateboards can be fined.


4. This is a very dangerous sport.


Every year, more than 100,000 skateboarders are injured in skateboarding accidents. This is mainly due to the fact that skaters are wearing incorrect protective gear. The most common injuries on skateboards are the ankles and wrists.


5. The original shape of the skateboard.


While the history of skateboarding is a bit uncertain, the first skateboards were made by driving nails into planks.


The predecessors of the skateboards added wooden boxes as armrests so they could be balanced and maneuvered. But then for some reason the box was thrown away and the skateboard was born.


6. Components of the skateboard.


Skateboards consist of several parts. The most obvious is the deck, formerly known as the deck. The next component is the bridge, where the rider controls the direction of travel by tilting the weights.


The rails are mounted with a series of nuts and screws. The wheels are mounted on the bridge and have fixed bearings to help speed up the skater's ride. The better the bearing quality, the faster the speed.


How to maintain the skateboard in the later stage?


1. Skateboards must not come into contact with water. If water enters accidentally, first remove the wheel, then take out the bearing, wipe it with a dry towel, and then dry it with a hair dryer.


Definitely not! Take it out in the sun, water-soaked boards will crack or delaminate in the sun.


2. After the skill is proficient, you can try to adjust the tightness of the bridge you like, and replace the wheels as needed.


3. When skateboarding, try not to let the sandpaper get wet, which will easily reduce friction.


4. It is recommended to check the screws regularly and replace the deformed screws to prolong the service life of the skateboard and reduce the risk when playing the board.


5. Avoid water as much as possible. When lubricating the bearing, the life of the bearing can be extended.


Skateboarding can fully exercise all parts of the body, consume fat, improve joint flexibility, and increase bone and muscle strength.
