Skateboard

Skateboard is extreme sports history forerunners, many extreme sports project by sled project serves. In the late 1950s and early 1960s by surfing evolved skateboards, and have now become the most "cool Earth" campaign. Skateboard skills include: The AerialL, The Invert, THE Ollie, these technologies can be considered apart from the addition of the most important turning skateboard action. The world's two important skateboards international organizations: INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COMPANIES, SKATEBOARD IASC and WORLD CUP SKATEBOARDING, WCS.

Sports history

Skateboard

In the 19th century in the late 1950s in the Pacific, good at inventing of Edison's descendants have ancient China people's fantasy more or less become a reality. In the early 1950 's West Coast is a pioneer in the United States are large and swim. They use ordinary wood and expensive light wood into a surfboard in the just for fun. To the 1950s, molded polyurethane foam and fiber glass replaced wooden surfboard. These new surfboard of mobility and durability make surfing in the late 1950s to pop.

Skateboard sport is surfing on land. The former subject to geographical and climate conditions, while the latter is greater freedom. Sunny Southern California beach community residents were soon made out of the first slide in the world.

Today, it is quite plain that an invention: a 50 * 50CM wooden fixed iron in skate wheels. even if such a simple sports facilities, because it provides surfing brought the same psychological feeling, also attracted the interest of enough.

However, this first generation skateboard because its backward compatibility (plate is too heavy, no Flex, no sensitive steering mechanism, the wheel too slippery, etc.), sled movement has not been as today's popularity, the earliest skateboard skateboarding videos can (Ban This).

2nd generation of skateboarding was born in 1962. This is determined by the oak plywood has 15 * 60 cm of the Board and roller skating steering bridge and plastic wheels. And compared to the first generation of skateboard, skateboarding is undoubtedly a leap in technology. However, this kind of slide plate plastic wheel performance remains unsatisfactory. He's too small of a sharp turn attached friction slide control; while his low elasticity is skateboard experience even slight barrier will GA however only, put down the slippery hands. At the same time, his resistance to wear is too poor. Nevertheless, this sled riders still slip. After all, and compared to the previous generation skateboard, it already has a high degree of evolution, relatively lenient plate surface allows easier sliding their stand and manipulation.

In 1973, a man named Frank · na Svobodny, West skateboard enthusiasts first to polyurethane wheels pushed his skateboard and get unexpected results. He then began to be called "Cadillac" card wheels sold to his skateboarding friends. This flexible wheels not only wear-resistant, and can make a sharp turn of skateboards safe, easy to run over the small obstacles on the ground. Third generation skateboard thus invented. Because the sled is derived from surfing, skateboarding in the early 1970s culture is essentially a surfing imprint culture. Skateboard enthusiasts and skateboard park builders start to build a lot of analog surf terrain. Later, they finally realized that because skateboarding than surf boards of resistance is small, light weight, can establish different from surfing and more suitable skateboard terrain to achieve greater speed and maneuverability and the ability of self expression.

California Santa Monica's "West wind" skateboard team have abandoned the keyhole-shaped swimming pool as an exercise of vertical surfaces of the venue, time skateboarding in California formed in search of the swimming pool heat. From that point on, skateboards and surfing is not just a venue from the equipment, but also from staff, thorough separation, become a ridged emerged. This new army not to get involved in surfing, skateboarding, and begin to delve into their own languages, skills, clothing style and music lovers. Forming a new, urban-oriented sled secondary culture.

The mid-1970s is third generation skateboard rapid development period. Feeling a novel sports soon emerged, many fans by skateboarding and surfing to establish small skateboard companies have mushroomed, begun in technical quality on the overall competition. The potential of polyurethane wheels are fully excavated. Continuous improvement of polyurethane wheels make skateboard attachment increases the friction force, speed, and even sliding on vertical surfaces.

Development

In addition, the research and development of the pantograph also reached the poorest and all. Hard plastic, aluminum, glass, and even high-tech carbon composite materials have been used to manufacture a skateboard. Finally, impact resistance, light weight of Canada sugar maple to assume a new generation of the historical mission of the pantograph.

In addition, the company invented by Powell across large obstructions of polyurethane wheels and Stevenson patent concave tail make Skate third generation skateboard heights.

The late 80 's, as own development skateboards and Xtreme were skateboard skills requirements, and in order to adapt to the two-way slide vert ramp, a former three generation skateboard shape completely different ends up, symmetrical slide appears, this is the fourth-generation skateboard. Currently, only their use of Xtreme is the fourth of the skateboard. Fourth generation skateboard use hard rock Maple lighter weight, flexibility better. skateboard wheels high hardness, good elasticity, more suitable for high-speed planing. due to the weight balance, fourth-generation skateboard action better suited to the various flip.

The early 1990s, skateboards walked into a trough period. As a result of generational change in skateboarding, skateboards, from one end to the ends, thus a number of previous generation skateboard action cannot be completed. This period is a skateboard sport technical tricks. Xtreme have developed many new actions. At the same time in order to make it easier to Flip Skateboards, skateboard deck became very narrow wheels become very small. The period of a typical slide width only 7 inches, and the wheels with a diameter of only about 39mm. This skateboard while easier to make complex actions, but smaller wheels hampers its glide performance.

Culture

Skateboards

With skate, skateboard technology straight after its ancestor of surfing. Alan Gelfand invented The Ollie, the skateboard community pay more attention to the high technical performance, have had many such as Tony Hawk and Steven Caballero, star. By skateboard, well-known company organize roving brand promotion activities that bring great benefits to businesses, has become a common industrial marketing. Xtreme's dirt feeling heavy clothing, retro sneakers became world trends, and related music (New Wave Music, Punk, Hip-Hop) also reached the peak of their languages, skills, clothing and music, constitutes a unique skateboard culture. In the United States skateboard sport enthusiasts up to as many as 450! because skateboards too scary, exciting. At the beginning of the 1960s, sled movement prohibited by the Government, once turned into the underground project. Until the mid-1980s, skateboard project before it was the Government's public release, the lush, makes this city magic motion comeback. Skateboard Emperor star Tony Hawker and Andy McDonald in the eyes of many young people and Jordan, is undoubtedly the same super idol Sampras.

Classification

Then type of skateboard technology can be divided into large-street, pool, half pipe, freestyle flatland, five speed downhill, etc. Street-now also very popular, there are a lot of fans and players. Swimming pool on the fancy and half-pipe type merged into today's high-profile vert. Flat free fancy had already lost a long time!-downhill downhill now also has a lover, and later also pan out another prized type down the luge, is lying in a fitted with four wheels and bracket sled on the downhill, downhill than skateboard downhill excitement.

Skateboard type toy toys Board means the Board is intended for use only by sliding the slider, starter can also be used. Beginners should choose flat slide site, the slide should be put on the elbow, wrist, knee, helmet, protector. However, if you are really determined to start your career as a limit, then put your hands of the children's Board!

Professional Board professional Board, this is a true skateboarding everyone should understand and be familiar with, and your ultimate career, since it is associated with. Because of the slippery hands to do a variety of tough action and a wide variety of things, even strange playing, so all the specialty plate parts of strength as well as various performance indicators should meet the requirements.

Specific separation Street-and-U pools, road, mountain slopes downhill, the differences are not large, U pool Board wide, softer, highway bridge plate surface is very long (in fact, the highway has already become independent development board another movement, hereinafter referred to as "LongBoard), slopes downhill-high bridge and inflatable tires.

Structure

Skateboard structure

Skateboard mainly by the Board, sandpaper, bridge (bracket), PU, wheels, axle end nut, axle nails, cushion, bearings, etc. Regardless of what parts of what brand, don't pipe, choosing the most suitable for your own is the most correct way! remember, is suitable for yourself, not your own suitable skateboards, this will determine your style. How to choose your own skateboard? which requires you to slowly accumulate skateboard knowledge but also a lot of practice.
