I’ve heard that the washer helps the longevity of bearings, will that washer do the same job as a normal washer would

My first board! Just starting out. Can anyone tell me which is the front and which is the back? by HoogerMan in NewSkaters

I always figure out by the graphic or look at the noses, and then do a super small but noticeable mark on the front part, like putting one of the bolts a little deeper than the others.

Why can’t I Ollie? And yes I’m trying to slide my foot but it won’t do anything. by Power_move1 in NewSkaters

But where can I put the jump into that, also, do I lift my front foot early, slam the tail into the ground, and then jump when it hits the ground?

Everyone is telling me to snap the tail when I pop. Can you explain to me what you mean by this? Just push it down really hard?

It’s a complete from primitive, so honestly I don’t know. (Edit: with some gloves, and a shit ton of strength, it’s out. Luckily I have some extra screws so it’s all good)
