Deciphering the Language of Skateboarding
Understanding Skateboarding Jargon
When skateboarders reach a competitive level, they've not only honed their skills but also developed a unique language shared among their peers. Each trick and move on the skateboard comes with its own set of terms, signaling to others when they've set a new personal best or are ready for a new challenge.
For parents, this specialized language can be bewildering at first. However, as their teenagers advance in the sport, many parents become familiar with these terms and the sport itself. Some even carry a glossary of skateboarding tricks or parts for reference during competitions and shopping trips.
Having these reference materials is invaluable, especially at events where announcements over the loudspeaker might include unfamiliar vocabulary. Whether it's the name of a trick or common skateboarder slang, parents want to stay in the loop, using these resources to blend into the skateboarding crowd seamlessly.
Navigating Skateboard Shopping
Understanding the specifics of skateboard components, such as wheels, is crucial for parents tasked with shopping. Skateboarders might specify the wheel number they need, simplifying the purchasing process. Harder wheels are preferred for street skating due to their durability, reducing the frequency of replacements. Some skateboarders might swap out wheels to achieve a better grip, even if they're using a longboard.
Without a comprehensive reference, navigating skateboard components like axles can be challenging for parents. If a skateboarder reports sliding wheels, parents might assume a wheel replacement is necessary. However, understanding the various causes of slippage?"such as worn trucks or hangars?"can help them make informed decisions at sports stores.
Mastering the Essentials
Skateboarders are well-versed in the names and functions of skateboard parts, from bushings to decks, and often have preferences for brands of grip tape. Experienced skateboarders recognize when it's time for new trucks, risers, or shock pads. They ensure they learn the terminology well enough to communicate their needs to their parents effectively.
By understanding the language and components of skateboarding, parents can better support their young athletes, keeping them equipped and ready to roll.
