I have an element board and i really like it, but i have a feeling its about to break in half because of my grinding, should i buy a new one or should i just keep skatein with it until it breaks?
Also how am i doin
Element Board
Silver Independent trucks
and Word Industires Wheels
I have been skatein for about 1 month I have just mastered the boardslide, and i can do an ollie about 6 inches, an ollie while moving, sometimes can do a heelflip, sometimes a kickflip, and ive almost mastered the 180 while moving. I'm trying to land the Pop-Shove-It. Please tell me how im doing! Thanks!:-3:

How do figure your deck is going to break? If it's already cracked a couple of plys across the width, well then, sure, you're on your way to board breakage. If not, then skate your board until it does need to retire due to breaking, tail and/or nose being worn to nothing, etc.
I would speculate if you're just starting, you're going to wear your tail out from skidding/stopping before you actually break your board in two pieces. The skateshop will love you if you buy a new stick every time you THINK your deck is going to break. I say skate it for maximum mileage, and THEN buy a new board.

I don't see how you know when your board is about to break when you've never skated anything else.

Besides the kickflip/heelflip/boardslide/180s, he said he feels like his board is going to break from GRINDING. I mean, if you can grind and 'master' the boardslide under one month, you're pretty damn good.
I say what I want.

Maybe he means his board is flexing really bad. None he less, have money set aside, but NEVER buy a new board until you snap yours. Once you get more accustomed (sp) to skateboarding, you'll know when to buy a board, and it might not always be after you snap yours. I say you're doing pretty good.
