I'm getting my board this weekend I CAN'T WAIT TILL I GET MY BOARDDD

I'm finally getting a board from my friend this weekend i need some tips on how to keep the board clean and good and new and how not to ruin it.

Umm a few tips on how i can get in the air with the board would also help alot.

That's cool. I love the feeling of getting a new board, it's just great. To get in the air, you can:
-Ollie
-Nollie
-Fakie Ollie
-Pressure Ollie
-Boneless
-Beanplant
-Bomb drop
-Go off a curb
-Go off a kicker
-Air a vert

No i mean i can't even jump with the board...

[jcsethi]

you mean you cant ollie, well just pop the back and slide your front foot forward

but i havent even gotten a Kickflip down so maybe im not the most reliable source lol

Oh and just try to avoid getting ure board wet that will help to keep it nicer but if you intend to ride the board then goodlukc keeping it looking new lol

[Skater/BMX Kid]

Oh, okay..

[Skater/BMX Kid]

So you're getting the board from a friend or something? I would get my own new deck if I were you.

A few un-organized hints:
1. Check for pressure cracks, especially around the hardware.
2. DON'T GET IT WET!
3. Don't skate on very rocky surface.
4. Don't scrape your tail or nose on the ground often.
5. Read any/all threads in the beginners and trick tips section if they even slightly apply to you.
6. DON'T EVER PRESSURE YOUR BOARD! If you get angry because you can't do something, remember it's not the board's fault, chances are if you can't ollie the board in 30 mins, I can 3 flip a random drop in 3 mins on the deck. It takes LOTS of practice, someday you'll work on kickflips, and think "I hate these, I can't do them!", and a year or two later you'll be cruising to your skatepark kickflipping at 25 MPH down a hill like it's nothing.
Wow, that was long (#6).

Don't leave it out in the rain would be handy... I did that...

3. Don't skate on very rocky surface.

Oh shit... I skate on very rocky surface often... what will happen to my board if I did that??

[Skater/BMX Kid]

Yeah im gettin it from a friend is that a problem? I mean hes like rich as hell and its suppossed to be good and hes been skating for like all his life almost.

[Mindcrime]

^^ I was just saying that you probably dont want a used-out board

Not a whole lot to the board, just gets the bearings dirty. Actually, I don't think it would do anything, except your cuts when a rock jams in between your truck.

[Greatkyle]

skating on loose rocks is a good way to fly forward and break ure nose

[ALter_Ego]

^Yes rocky surfaces bad and u will most likely end up face first on the ground if u go through them
