HARDWARE

Need bindings for you Hard Wheel board???

• Four King-pins and Do-Dos on each.

• Come-along rope ( the yellow kind )

• Drill with say about 3/8 - 1/2 in bit

First find where your feet are most comfortable. Over the trucks would be the safest; because too much of the rear foot can snap your deck.  Then grab those king-pins and find out how you want them to be set up.  Mark it with a pencil, and then cut about 6-8 in of come-along rope.  Put your foot on the board in your designated places and set the king-pins up; then place the rope on tope and find where you need to put the wholes in the material at.  Remember that king-pins are short and to place your wholes a little farther out that what you marked so that you can twist your feet into the bindings.  After that you can drill the wholes for the king-pins into the deck but be careful not to hit the truck! Finally screw the bolt in the deck (you may want a washer between the bolt and the deck), along with the Do-Dos, then the rope, and last the washer and nut

How about a new found joy out of an old floozy?

If you have a broken mountain board deck then this could help you.  The board needs to be about 25 in long. Drill your wholes for a regular skate truck set (not in the back if that is what you were running  them at first) but do use a square to keep the trucks straight. Buy a set of XT Wheelz  and put it all together.  Get some skyhooks if you want to. Wayne's made a nice little carver!

Tricks 

First of all work your legs out so you have more control of the board, if you go to a gym work your abdomen, lats, and back so you can spin quicker with more response. Plus when your legs are stronger you can pump things for more speed, catch bigger air, and definitely jump higher. 

Notes: When jumping land on the back first but have weight going onto the front so that if the landing catches you don't suddenly stop and catch yourself jumping/hopping like and idiot.  Have someone around when doing a trick for the first time so that you can say HOLY SMOKES YOU SEE THAT? and incase you wreck and keep them around later while you do this trick because it still takes many times to dial something.

• Front Side 180 - Begin on flat; squat down, bring your left arm back toward your rear trucks and squat down. Throw your arm around then your weight; untwist & pull the board into the air when your body gets to regular riding position and when twisting make your ankles twist and the board with follow. 
• Back Side 180 - Practice on flat first by facing your front trucks with your body wound up; squatted down throw yourself around & up and when you're facing backwards pull it up at one time (your back will be facing forward before you jump) and take your chances of getting around all the way and for landing try getting your head back for facing forward.
• Noseroll - Wind like a FS 180 and swing the back end in the air. The more you do it the lower your board will be.
• Noseroll 360 - Find a small bank first roll up to it and first nose roll on it regular. Then when confident enough push faster into it and huck yourself around as fast and hard as you can. If you land into a 270 good job! Keep tying on the last 90 lean forward and onto the front slightly so you get it around better and it won't roll away so easily.
