Introduction :
I will introduce this subject by explaining the composition of the skateboard
and explain why each item is necessary. Therefore , I’ll show you some
personalities from skateboard and tell you what they brought. After that I’ll
explain you some skateboard tricks to finish with my personal view on
skateboarding.
COMPOSITION
In the skateboard composition each item is very important, we’ll start by the
board. The board is composed of seven woods …... It has to resist to the
shocks, that’s why we use the maple. There are different forms for the board
but usually people use the USA skateboard which is the best to do some tricks ,
but for people who just want to ride , they can see a lot of cruiser skateboard.
Over the board we stick the grip which helps to stay on the board and to do the
tricks. Under the board, Skaters choose either to put
some sticker to show that they know the different
brand and their favorites for example or to keep the
draw for the design.
That’s all for the board composition. There are a lot of
board brands like Element , Trauma ( Which comes from
Montpellier in France ).
I can show you my board for example
