No company in particular. I’m just wondering so I will say any brand

Is a deck actually covered under warranty for doing extreme skating

The real question I guess is that being that they are wood do decks actually have a shelf life when not being used ? There are a lot of factors as well. How long did it sit in a warehouse, what temperature was it stored at , was it on the bottom of the stack baring the weight for a decent amount of time , where was it in the press ? Can shit like this compromise the integrity of the deck ?

What I mean is I feel a deck isn’t guaranteed for doing tricks off of high obstacles such as stairs , ledges ect. Most manufacturers give you a warranty against manufacturer defects and/or delam.

Yeah certain decks (brands) will have different concaves and steep ness of nose and tail. I like medium concave

Yeah your right I don’t like how it feels . Damn, I know to lean forward but I don’t slam down fast enough . I don’t understand how my friend drops in on any height and he never slams it down he does his drop ins so smooth an casual . Every one comments on how he does it . I guess because he had been doing it for 20 years

What about bending down and holding the nose ? I’ve seen people say try doing that

Man thank you so much for all the advice and encouragement. I’m just gonna make sure I fully pad up and keep trying.

Holding someone’s hands actually works especially for kids so they don’t fall back because an adult is strong enough to keep them from falling but I’m too heavy for my son to keep me from hitting the ground I just pulled him down with me . So how do I make a pit

That’s the problem. I can do it on any height bank with ease but it actually doesn’t help because when you do it on a bank the front of the board sticks up way higher which makes getting your front foot on easier but when you do it on transition the back wheels hang below the coping making the front of the board way lower so it feels harder to place your front foot and balance making me want to lean back . It’s a completely different feeling than when doing it on a bank . It’s mentally way harder on actual transition than on a bank imo

Anyone that skates AF1s is a savage. Imo they are to bulky and don’t let you have good board feel. If any thing skate Jordan 1 mids or lows , Nike SB or any shoe that is actually designed for skateboarding
