Practice StandardStandard

3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.

  • Bearing Maintenance

    Clean and lube bearings monthly — seized bearings stop wheels mid-ride.

  • Grip Tape Check

    Replace worn grip tape — smooth decks cause foot slip on tricks.

  • Hardware Tightness

    Check truck bolts and kingpin nuts weekly — vibration loosens hardware.

Safety Notes

  • Always wear a helmet and wrist guards.
  • Check your board before riding — loose trucks and worn wheels cause accidents.
