Skateboarding Gear and anything else that has to do with Skateboarding!

I bought a complete skateboard online, and one of the trucks fell apart. The trucks are monster brand, and weigh 3 lbs when the whole skateboard weighs 4. (I checked) Should I get a refund and buy lighter trucks, or just get replacements?

P.S. The company that made the trucks doesn't make any lighter trucks, just the kind I got in different colors.

Replace them with grind king trucks.
here the web

Ex: Zero and Mystery are both in Blackbox Distribution, so does that mean that the shape and concave are the same? Ex2: Alien Workshop and Habitat are both DNA Distribution. I dont mean like buying two different companies off of a website like ccs.

Well usually there suppse to be but sumtimes there’s just a slight difference in the shape

i am doing a science project for 8th grade, and my investigative question is:
what kind of skateboard wheels roll the fastest?

i was considering judging by diamater…

but how should i measure the speed? and also, what about materials? i was considering going to the local skate park… i don’t know, but what kind of wheels (diamater, softness, brand) ROLL the fastest. that without bearings, and not on the trucks, just sitting there rolling.

Hard wheels go faster – less friction
Big wheels go faster – cover more ground in 1 revolution. (basic rotational motion)

I use 63mm 101a wheels for skating pools. (Spitfire)

my best friend and i like to play paintballtogether all the time my dad and his dad even built our own area in the yard were we can play, one day his step-mom wanted to see how to play so CJ and i showed her, she acted pretty dumb, when we took all our gear off so we could go get ready to meet our friend DJ to go skateboarding i was standing in front of CJ and DJ and CJ's step-mom yelled for me and DJ to come show her something, we left CJ to put the stuff away while we helped her, she said she forgot how to shoot, the gun she had was a stingray fully automatic(in other words it hurts) and we turnded away from CJ to show her on the target and she said she wanted to continue to practice so DJ and i left when we turned around DJ and i heard a paintball go by our heads and then we heard CJ screaming DJ and i ran over to him and she had shot him in his eye and it was bleeding, i think she did it on pupose because she has beat him before but how am i sure??
his eye is fine it is still swollen and sore but it is ok, and i dont know what to do though i dont want to accuse her of things that i dont know about for sure

Call the cops she could have severly hurt,blinded or worse killed him. She i ssick an dshouldnt be in public. If she has beaten him before she should be locked up. If the law does nothing then shoot her as s in the eye.
