In the late 1950's the Pacific Ocean, good inventions of Edison descendants of the ancient people of China more or less fantasy into reality. Early fifties the US West Coast is beach-goers who test their skills in a large place. They use ordinary wood and expensive balsa surfboard made on the cusp of fun. To the mid-fifties, molded polyurethane foam and fiberglass replaced wood surfboard. These new surfboard mobility and durability make surfing very popular in the late fifties.
Skateboarding is extending surfing on land. The former restricted geographical and climatic conditions, while the latter have more freedom. Sunny Southern California residents beach community quickly made the world's first a skateboard.
In this view, it was an invention quite quaint: a 50 * 50CM wooden fixed skating on iron wheels. Even such a simple exercise machine because it offers surfing brings the same psychological feelings, but also aroused enough interest.
However, this first generation of slide due to its own backwardness (plate too bulky, inflexible, insensitive steering mechanism, slippery wheels, etc.), skateboarding has not been so popular as it is today, and this can be the first skateboard in the video slide show "ban" (ban This) see.
2nd generation skateboard was born in 1962. This is oak pressed plywood made of 15 * 60 cm board , roller wheel steering axle and the plastic composition. And compared to the first generation of skateboard, skateboard this is undoubtedly a technological leap. However, the performance of this plastic skateboard wheels are still far from ideal. He is too small adhesion friction to make a sharp turn when the slide out of control; and his skateboard low elasticity is experiencing even minor obstacles will come to an end , the riders fell. Meanwhile, his poor wear resistance. Nevertheless, this skateboard riders still being widely welcomed. After all, compared to the previous generation of skateboarding, it already had a large degree of evolution, relatively large board so that riders are more likely to stand and manipulation. Chinese domestic sales slide Most belong to this second generation product.
In 1973, a man named Frank Jonas Worthy skateboarders polyurethane wheels for the first time to the placement of his skateboard and get unexpected results. He then began to put this is called " Cadillac " brand of skateboard wheels sold his friends. This flexible wheels not only wear, but also can make security secure skateboard sharp turn, easily run over small obstacles on the ground. The third generation skateboard so invented. Since skateboarding surfing derived from reason, early 1970s skateboarding culture is basically surf culture with a mark. Skateboarders and skate park builders started construction of a number of simulated surfing terrain. Later, they finally realized that, due to the slide ratio surfboard resistance, light weight, you can create different from surfing and skateboarding is more suitable terrain to achieve greater speed, flexibility and the ability to self-expression.
Santa Monica, California "West wind" skateboarding team abandoned the keyhole -shaped pool as an exercise vertical surface skateboard venue, for a time in California formed a pool looking hot. From then on, skateboarding and surfing equipment not only from the venue, but also from the people, completely separated, and become a new force projection. But the army is not involved in surfing, skateboarding one study, and began to form their own language, skills, clothing styles and musical interests. Forming a nascent urban-oriented secondary skateboarding culture.
The mid-seventies was a period of rapid development of the third generation of skateboarding. Premonition that a new type of sport will come into being, by the countless skateboarding and surfing enthusiasts established a small skateboard companies have sprung up, commenced a comprehensive competition on technical quality. Polyurethane wheels potential is fully tapped. Continuous improvement urethane skateboard wheels make traction strengthen, increase the speed, and even slip on a vertical surface.
Development:
In addition, slide materials research and development has reached the point where the poor and everything. Hard plastic, aluminum, glass fiber , and even high-tech carbon composite materials have been used to trial skateboard. In the end, good impact resistance, light weight, Canada Sugar Maple assume the historical mission of the new generation of slide material.
Across large obstacles by Powell invented polyurethane wheels and Stevenson patented concave tail of the third generation of skateboard skateboarding to the next level.
The late 1980s, skateboarding own development and improve the riders skateboarding skills requirements, and to meet the needs of the U-shaped pool (vert ramp) bi-directional sliding A skateboard shape and the first three generations of two completely different tilt, symmetrically shaped slide appeared, this is the fourth generation of skateboarding. Occupational riders use are the fourth generation of skateboarding. The fourth generation of hard rock maple skateboard use lighter weight, better flexibility. Skateboard wheels high hardness, good elasticity, is more suitable for high-speed taxiing. Due to the weight balance, the fourth generation of skateboards is more suitable for a variety of flip action.
Early nineties, skateboarding into a low period. Since the slide is in the updating period, the slider from one to two, so we had a lot of previous generation skateboard impossible action. This period is skateboarding skill of action (technical tricks) era. Riders invented a lot of new moves. Meanwhile, in order to make it easier to flip the skateboard, skateboard deck becomes very narrow, the wheels becomes small. During this period a typical skateboard width of only 7 inches, and the wheel diameter of only 39mm or so. Although this slide more easily make complex movements, but smaller wheels has hindered its glide performance.
Technology Category :
Then slide to the type of technology can be divided into large street formula (street), Swimming Pool (pool), semi pipeline (half pipe), ground Freestyle (freestyle flatland), rappelling down the formula (speed downhill), etc. five. Street style is also very popular, there are many good players and fans. Swimming pool and semi pipeline will be combined into high-fancy (vert). Freestyle ground has been lost for a long time! Downhill downhill style also has some fans, and later give birth to another pan pry formula downhill downhill (luge), is lying on a bracket with four wheels and a long downhill sled play, than with skateboard downhill downhill much more thrilling.
Category skateboard : Toys board
Toys skateboard sliding plate means only, beginners can also be used. Beginners should choose flat gliding sites in slide should wear elbow pads, wrist, knee pads, helmets and other protective gear. However, if you are really determined to be your ultimate career start, then, put down that piece of children's board now!
Professional Board :
Professional boards, each of which is a real skateboarding people should know and be familiar with, and limit your career ever since with it as partners. Since the riders to do a variety of difficult moves and a variety of tricks, even bizarre play, so all the strength and all the professional performance of each board member should meet the requirements.
Specific sub-type and U Street pools, road type, slopes downhill style, very different, U pool board is wide, the bridge is quite soft, face long road boards (actually independent road board has developed into another sport, referred LongBoard), have higher slopes downhill style bridge and pneumatic tires.
The main structure :
Mainly by the slide board, sandpaper, Bridge (bracket), PU, wheels, axle end nut, bridge nails, cushion, bearings and other components. Regardless of which large parts, do not control what brand to choose the most suitable for their own is the most correct way! Remember that is suitable for them, not for their own skateboard, which will determine your style. How to choose your own skateboard? This requires you have a lot of practice at the same time slowly accumulate skateboard knowledge.
Performance : Wheel
Selection of the material should be considered suitable for use in different venues pavement, such as floor pavement, concrete pavement, asphalt and the like. No matter what the road skid, the wheels should have good flexibility, abrasion resistance and hardness should be moderate, but also to ensure that the wheels on the road there is sufficient friction coefficient. (Hardness coefficient wheels generally have three units, A, B, D, as some indicators of different material, it can not be accurately converted.)
And cushion cover :
The main cushion and shock absorption. One is not usually appear in the concave surface, absorbing vibrations; the other is the large amount of exercise time, play a protective role in the part; the third is to play the role of the body to maintain balance.
Board
Canadian maple plywood is generally used in compression from the compression process is divided into cold and hot, cold ie without the addition of binders directly compressed wood chips, more advanced, better performance. Board having a high impact strength and good toughness, elasticity, when a certain height jump on skateboard, ensure the pedal is not damaged.
Support
Bracket, we referred to as a "bridge", the bridge is the entire slide bear most of torque, the most pressing, the most friction skateboard accessories. Bridge commonly used alloy casting technology and design between the various brands vary. Bridge has a high, medium and low points, while the axial length of the bridge is also different board widths to match.
Safety Precautions
1. Before using the wheel adjusted to operate freely.
2. According to their usage with the locking nut reasonable adjustments cushion elasticity.
3. To regularly oiling bearings, increasing bearing lubrication to reduce sliding resistance.
4. Beginners need the help of friends and relatives, the tilt angle of the small glide slope, with the improvement of the technical level, and gradually shifted to different slopes.
5. Do not write on wet or rough pavement taxiing, when you want to jump off the slide, bumped around to watch whether human or other items.
6. For replacement parts, its replacement parts and original member shall be for the same model number.
