Rain

[snowboarder]

I was just wondering if rain affects the griptape and the bearings.

MY opinion on that is...dont sk8 in the wet, it is hard enough to maintain a good board without sk8ing in the wet so i wouldnt do it

yes it makes the grip come loose and in rare cases fall of lol

yes it effects your bearings a great deal it makes them rust, slow,and also agin in rare cases explode (not literally)

ermm it also makes ur axlwes on your trucks rust and makes them slow

it can make your bushings crack and thre for you have to buy new ones

it makes ur wheels go yello and look old and cheap n nasty

and it makes your deck even more prone to getting snapped

i hope this helps lol!:D

I think that's a complete answer :)

thx a lot

i just thought i would pion out the bad bits of sk8ing lol!

Yes of course dude it will also start to rot your deck and make it become weaker, it's a bitch (don't go out in the rain) you'll regret it afterwards,

K...that's what I was thinking, but I saw a pic on the gallery section about a month ago, and it was some1 at a skatepark doing a boardslide under the rain...so I was like "hmmmmm, isnt rain supposed to damage your board?!?!"

Ahh, the pic you saw in the gallery was my friend Shawn.It was a board (the whole setup) was going to be trashed, but Rob(assistant manager) who was there, and Kevin(Manager) wasnt there, Rob let us skate that board in the rain. But not any of ours plus non of us wanted to use our own. :D Unfortually, i only a little battery power left and couldnt get all the footage i wanted. But overall, dont skate in the rain...I had to learn that leason the hard way :(
