Board trouble

[KickTheFlip]

I was just wonderin can u skate if it aint raining but the ground is wet. What happens if water goes on your griptape and board. what if only a bit of water goes on. Does that matter. Please tell me ways of protectin my board and tips too:-2:

[TwiztidSkater15]

it gets a little slipery (sp?).

Water is not friendly to decks or bearings even if its only a little your bearings could rust out and your deck could warp. I wouldn't recommend it.

[TwiztidSkater15]

neber skate outside in the winter, bad when water gets on your board and freezes. lol

[oldscoolelement]

if h2o gets ony our grip, it will curl up and lose its stickiness. never skate in rain or wet surfaces, its not worth it.

NEVER, EVER sk8 in rain

[ShaneEnjoi]

no it screwed up my old deck bad its worth it to be patient although powerslides are fun

no water and wood do NOT go good together it will rob your board of all it's pop

[DarkHawk2-2]

actually no, the pop will stay. the shape wont. waterlogged decks bend into weird shapes. a lil water isnt bad, like a couple drops maybe.. haha... and water and bearings dont go too well together.

[flipside433]

well my friend got his board water logged and it lost it's pop

[NIGhtMAre]

If you really need to skate. Then get an old deck (if you have one) that your not scared of breaking

[surrey_skater]

the water also makes your deck heavier.

[sktbro]

little water= slipery
lots of water= a water logged deck.;)
