is it many skaters there?
coz it will be nored if only few skates there..
do u skate there?

aii...
i thought i might see u...
but maybe i can just try and enjoy skteboarding there
what is your job anyway?

how nice..
better than just sit and skate around witout doing anything else..
u can earn money from that too..

i don't think so..
malaysia is not a country like US..there people look a skateboarders as an athlete but here at malaysia peoples look skateboarders as a useless people that only play around with a piece of wood...

Skateboarding can be a career if there is a company willing to sponsor you

bro kaizer..
x jd turun JB la...
got important things to do first..

u have to wait till next month (maybe) to treat me shisha or whatever

i did not know there are competition at langkawi...

well,all i can say is most skaters will be happy with wheels from 52mm to 54mm, with a hardness of 99a (higher number means harder). But, if you want to give it a little more thought, then first ask yourself what kind of skateboarding you think you'll be doing.

Transition / Vert

Larger skateboard wheels roll a lot faster, and when riding ramps this is what you want. Try 55-65mm size wheels (though many ramp skateboarders will use even larger wheels -- try something like a 60mm wheel first, as you learn), with a hardness of 95-100a.

Street / Technical

Skateboarders who like doing flip tricks often like smaller wheels, as they are lighter and closer to the ground, making some skateboarding tricks easier and faster. Try 50-55mm skateboard wheels, with a hardness of 97-101a.

Both / All Terrain

You'll want something in the middle, with slightly softer skateboard wheels. Try a wheel size 52-60mm, with 95-100a hardness. This should give you a balance between speed and weight.

Cruising

Usually cruising wheels are much larger for speed (64-75mm) and much softer for riding over rough terrain (78-85a). Other wheels for cruising are available, such as huge dirt wheels with knobs, but these aren't recommended for skateboards



be careful when choosing your wheels..
happy choosing..

(some one please tell me if i'm wrong)

i forgot to ask too..
didn't u buy a complete board?

i've never go sliding downhill before..
takde jalan turun bukit kt tempat aku..
i dunno when i can try it..

aii..
so scared laa..
don't want to ride downhill..
i got an accident and got a steel plate inside my left foot right now..
do not want to hurt my leg anymore..
doctor advised me not to play skate anymore but i just can't stop it..

in conclusion,to avoid any major injuries u must play a fingerboard..

aiyaa..
this skateboards thread has turned into fingerboard thread already..

i'm using BONES wheels too..
but mine is using ATF formula..
i've used many sk8 wheels before and i think BONES is the best wheels

my cousin bought it for me when he is in UK last year..
he said he found a good wheel for sk8boarding (he is a skater too..)
that time the price is $16 (around RM40 maybe)..

i'm using 54mm wheels..
that is last year price la, kawan..
i dunno how much is the latest price
i think the price become high here because of the shipping cost and KASTAM charge a bit..
even though it is just a wheel, it is still imported item

yeah..i know that..
i've seen the wheel's price at sk8shop at Ipoh (i stayed there that time)..
surprisingly the price are higher..

so my cousin said he will try to find it at UK (United Kingdom, not Ulu Kelang) back then..
and when he come back here, he told me to give him RM 40 for a set of BONES wheels

i wish he still studied there now..
i also want to ask him to buy a new board for me but unfortunately he finished his study last month...

no wonder he got the wheels so cheap..
i asked him how he got the price so cheap..
he said that he buy it it for his friends too..which means he buy bulk..so the sk8shop give discount laa
maybe sebab dia beli banyak2 kot..

what i cool board u got over there!!
now i envy with u..

start with ollie first...after u've mastered ollie then u can start to learn with a new tricks because most of sk8 tricks requires ollie trick to perform..

i got an accident while i'm on my way to see the comp..
nasib baik injured sikit je..
so sad..
