Bones Bearings

Image
 In addition to their durability and smoothness, Bones bearings are also known for their precision engineering. The balls inside the bearings are carefully spaced and aligned to ensure that they roll smoothly and evenly. This helps to reduce friction and wear, which can lead to a longer lifespan for the bearings. Additionally, the bearings are designed to be easy to clean and maintain. This allows skaters to keep their bearings in good condition and extend their lifespan even further. Bones Reds One of the key features of Bones bearings is their removable rubber shield. This shield is designed to keep dirt, dust, and other contaminants out of the bearings, which can cause them to wear down and become less smooth over time.

Thunder trucks over independent

Image
 Hey everyone, I'm back. So I'm starting off with talking about Thunder trucks today. Thunder trucks is a company that makes skateboard trucks. Skateboard trucks are the metal pieces that let the wheels connect to the board. Moving forward, there are a lot of companies that sell skateboard trucks, most known are Independent, Thunder, Bullet, Gulf Wing, Paris Co, Royal trucks, and Venture.                                                                                          Picture here The reason I'm starting on trucks today is because you know, what's the skateboard without the trucks?

Chris Cole

  Hey everyone, so last time you heard me talk about Nyjah Houston and why he was liked/disliked with the skateboarding community. Well now I bring to you another skater who is also liked/disliked by the skateboarding community . The name Chris Cole ring a bell? Well he’s a 40 year old American skateboarder who is well known for having a very stiff skateboarding style.  http://www.xgames.com/athletes/3014653/chris-cole The thing about his skateboarding style and skateboarding videos is that he doesn’t miss a trick. His whole persona is to be the best of the best. That is why he has that nickname “Cobra Cole '' kind of like that similar name with Cobra Kai from karate kid.  He usually just films when he lands or he posts only the ones with good takes, and some people don’t like that anymore because it makes the person seem robotic almost. People like to see the whole set up for the tricks and then watching the person fail a time or two before they see the trick being lande...

Nyjah Houston

Image
Hey skaters and people reading this because they saw the title of Nyjah Huston. Today I wanted to talk about the world's ranking number one skater, Nyjah Huston. Nyjah has made a huge impact on the skateboarding community in good and bad ways. I would for starters say that a good way he has impacted the skateboarding community is that he brought a lot of attention to the community and brought some more people in with his insane tricks and stunts going viral on social media platforms. There have also been bad things he had or not necessarily bad things he did but things that were bad in the eyes of the community. The thing about Nyjah is that he is known as a sell out. He has this reputation because he has big brand sponsors and does some crazy things for them that some people consider bad or “selling out” as another would say. One thing he did especially that people criticized him for was having a nude picture of himself with his back showing to the camera for a GQ magazine.  ( Pi...
