A skateboard is a type of sports equipment used primarily for the activity of skateboarding. It usually consists of a specially designed maple woodboard combined with a polyurethane coating used for making smoother slides and stronger durability.
A skateboard is propelled by pushing with one foot while the other remains on the board, or by pumping one's legs in structures such as a pool or half pipe. A skateboard can also be used by simply standing on the deck while on a downward slope and allowing gravity to propel the board and rider. If the rider positions their right foot forward, he/she is said to ride "goofy"; if the rider positions their left foot forward, he/she is said to ride "regular". If the rider is normally regular but chooses to ride goofy, he/she is said to be riding in "switch", and vice versa. A skater is typically more comfortable pushing with their back foot; choosing to push with the front foot is commonly referred to as riding "mongo."
Recently, electric skateboards have also appeared. These no longer require the propelling of the skateboard by means of the feet; rather an electric motor propels the board, fed by an electric battery.
There is no governing body that declares any regulations on what constitutes a skateboard or the parts from which it is assembled. Historically, the skateboard has conformed both to contemporary trends and to the ever evolving array of stunts performed by riders/users, who require a certain functionality from the board. Of course, the board shape depends largely upon its desired function. Longboards are a type of skateboard with a longerwheelbase and larger, softer wheels.
Skateboards have 3 axes. The tail axis (running from nose to tail), the central axis (running straight down through the center of the board), and the short axis (running from the width of the board, perpendicular to the tail axis).
The two main types of skateboards are the longboard and the shortboard. The shape of the board is also important, the skateboard must be concave to perform difficult tricks.

Modern decks vary in size, but most are 7 to 10.5 inches (17.78 to 26.67 centimeters) wide. Wider decks can be used for greater stability when transition or ramp skating. Skateboard decks are usually between 28 and 33 inches (71.12 and 83.82 centimetres) long. The underside of the deck can be printed with a design by the manufacturer, blank, or decorated by any other means.
The longboard, a common variant of the skateboard, has a longer deck. This is mostly ridden down hills or by the beach to represent the riding of a wave in the ocean on a surfboard. This was created by two surfers; Ben Whatson and Jonny Drapper. One of the first deck companies was called "Drapped" taken from Jonny's second name. "Old school" boards (those made in the 1970s–80s or modern boards that mimic their shape) are generally wider and often have only one kicktail. Variants of the 1970s often have little or no concavity, whereas 1980s models have deeper concavities and steeper kicktails.
Grip tape, when applied to the top surface of a skateboard, gives a skater's feet grip on the deck. It is most often black but can come in a variety of colors including clear, allowing the top of the deck to be decorated. It has an adhesive back and a sandpaper-like top.

Attached to the deck are two metal (usually aluminum alloy) trucks, which connect to the wheels and deck. The trucks are further composed of two parts. The top part of the truck is screwed to the deck and is called the baseplate, and beneath it is the hanger. The axle runs through the hanger. Between the baseplate and the hanger are bushings, also rubbers or grommets, that provide the cushion mechanism for turning the skateboard. Thebushings cushion the truck when it turns. The stiffer the bushings, the more resistant the skateboard is to turning. The softer the bushings, the easier it is to turn. A bolt called a kingpin holds these parts together and fits inside the bushings. Thus by tightening or loosening the kingpin nut, the trucks can be adjusted loosely for better turning and tighter for more stability. Standard Kingpin nut size is 3/8" - 24tpi.
Skateboard trucks are manufactured in a number of different axle widths. In general an axle width should be chosen that is close to the width of the deck it will be used with.[2] For example, a 7.75" wide deck will usually be fitted with trucks that have axles between 7.5" wide and 8.0" wide. (Standard truck axel nut size is 5/16"-24tpi UNF, and the thinner "jam" style with an optional nylon lock.) Trucks that are too wide can make doing tricks difficult and can cause the wheels to get in the way when the skateboard is being ridden. Trucks that are too small can be hard to maintain stability and can cause wheel bite to occur when turning.
Longboard specific trucks are a more recent development. A longboard truck has the king pin laid at a more obtuse angle (usually between 38 and 50 degrees[3]) to the deck, this gives a greater degree of turning for the same tilt of the deck. This allows riders to go much faster while still maintaining stability and control.
Giant strides have been made in the truck industry over the years. In late 2007, Gullwing Truck Company manufactured a truck named "Sidewinder" that can pivot on two different angles, thus greatly decreasing the turning radius of the board, resulting in a greater feel between the rider and the sidewalk.

Granted , but this thread was closed be Leggy because of too much sandwich posting !!

I wish i'm dead !

I made this thread to know what everyone's feeling / thinking about pokemons . 
My question is : " Why do you like pokemon ? " ( just like the title said )

Annette : I have nothing more to ask , other than that you look beautiful in you picture ..

I love Manny " Pacman " Pacquiao , he have already won his own 10 titles in boxing , he was named " Fighter of the Decade " for the 2000s (decade) by the Boxing Writers Association of America ( BWAA ), World Boxing Council ( WBC ) and World Boxing Organization ( WBO ). He also become a three  - time The Ring and BWAA " Fighter of the Year " winning the award of 2006, 2008 and 2009, and the Best Fighter ESPY Award in 2009 and 2011. He was also long rated / called the pound for pound boxer of the world . His latest fight was against Bradley , and he sadly lost but he accepted his lost ! So , Go manny !!

Wow , Nice . Another good poem from my friend Guardian Zack .. Hey man , keep up the good work ..

I already played this game .. And i kinda liked it .. And , thanks for making this review ..

If you ask me , No ! I don't want to be called a nerd or some thing like that .. I hate it so much !!

Hi welcome to vizzed . I know many newbies here in vizzed and they feel the same as you do !

What's the highest syndrome did you get and what's the highest TP you achieved ?

My favorite pokemon ( s ) are all the legendaries . But i can only pick one , so i will pick Ditto !!

Lots of funny videos on youtube .. But I think I will post this ..

Mother3fan5 : I think this is a spam , you can't force people to post " 1 " , " 2 " or " 3 " .. This will reduce their Viz ... 
Sorry , I think I will summon a mod to close this .. I'm really sorry .
Local Mods : Close ?
