Li Zhendong likes skateboarding for a long time. Today, he is also an enthusiastic liaison of Sakamoto.

Li Zhendong first learned that skateboarding was on the TV screen. That was when I was in primary school. "When I saw on TV that foreign players could actually play a board to the point of being superb, I felt that the word was' cool'. If only I could do the same. " Li Zhendong was fascinated by skateboarding at that time, but there were few skateboarders in Wuxi and even the whole country at that time, and there was no place to sell regular skateboards. He had to keep this dream in his heart.

After going to college, there were more people skateboarding in China, so he bought himself the first skateboard and played it alone. I didn't expect to get addicted as soon as I played, and I left my favorite football aside.

It is always lonely to play alone. I became the liaison of Sakamoto two years ago. Because he met Pan Yu. It was a beautiful afternoon. At Qingshan Bay Station, Li Zhendong was about to get on the bus and found Pan Yu getting off with a skateboard in his hand. Li Zhendong's eyes suddenly lit up and he came forward to speak. The more they talked, the more speculative they became ... from then on, they met and played skateboarding together.

Gradually, more and more people joined skateboarding, and their activities became more and more frequent. In order to keep in touch with the team members, every weekend, Li Zhendong always takes pains to inform the "Banzai" about the arrangement and time of activities through mobile phones or the Internet. Today, there are more than 20 members in the small circle, which is inseparable from his persistence.

Pan Yu: I had a great time.

Pan Yu, like Li Zhendong, is an early player and has been playing for two years. Now I'm a junior, and I'm a little shy. But stepping on a skateboard is like being a different person. That day in Parkson Square, I saw his companions helping him build a "defense line". As for him, he jumped several steps at once, with clean and agile movements, which made people around him applaud.

Among skateboarders, Pan Yu's level is recognized. But he said modestly that Wuxi people played better than him, and one person studied abroad and won the prize in the competition. Another one goes to school in Nantong.

Pan Yu has been insisting on playing until now, and has been able to jump four or five steps while jumping a few skateboards. Although he thinks this is just a "trick", there is still a considerable distance compared with real players. But in Wuxi, a city without a professional skateboarding venue, it's not bad to play like that. Of course, there is a "price" to reach that level. When he is free at school, he will take it out to practice. After such a long time, the smooth plate has broken five or six pieces, which is not counting. A few days ago, I jumped down the steps for practice and stepped on another piece. Of course, the skateboard is broken or something. Once, in order to practice flying up the steps, he fell heavily to the ground and broke his left leg. He lay in bed for more than a month. However, the injury was just right, and his figure appeared on the training ground again.

Xia Hui: The oldest and the fastest learner.

Xia Hui is a teacher in a business school. He is talkative and enthusiastic. In this circle, Xia Hui is the oldest, 27 years old this year. In the mouth of "Sakamoto", he learned the fastest. I mastered the basic skills in about two months and got started quickly.

In fact, Xia Hui was a sports enthusiast in college. He plays football, basketball and roller skating. It's just that after work, it's a bit difficult to play football and basketball, and enough people are needed. There are too many people playing roller skating, which is not challenging for him.

Everyone is willing to try the taste of courage again and again. He wants to skateboard and try more challenging and exciting extreme sports. In addition, skateboarding can be played by one person or by a group of people. At this time, he knew from the Internet that there were some board game players in Wuxi, so he joined immediately. In Xia Hui's words, "it's like finding the right job at the right time." At the right time, he remembered the right game and found the right crowd.

Although the golden age of skateboarding has passed, Xia Hui has become the fastest learner in the circle by virtue of her boldness and understanding. He dares to try many thrilling moves, and spraining his hands and feet is just a piece of cake for him. Now he has become obsessed with skateboarding, and he always plays for 2-3 hours at work every day. If possible, he will play until he is in his thirties.

Choose skateboarding equipment carefully

With the popularity of extreme sports, more and more young people may join skateboarding, which is called extreme limit.

Of course, if you want to play this extreme sport well, you have to be prepared in all aspects besides physical strength and perseverance.

Selection of skateboard

★ Flat noodles

Generally, the surface of skateboard is cold-pressed with five, seven and nine layers of maple boards by microwave. There are also panels made of aluminum alloy, carbon fiber and other materials. The board surface above 22cm can basically be regarded as the board surface of the U-shaped pool, and there are many places where the board surface can accommodate the soles of the feet, which makes people stand on the U-shaped pool more stable. 19cm boards are mostly used for flat road conditions. This kind of board can move flexibly and quickly after being equipped with small wheels. In addition, the depth of the foot cover is different for different boards. The board of the deep pit can do Ollie, flip and other actions more conveniently.

★ bracket

Skateboard bracket is also called skateboard bridge, which plays an important role in the performance of skateboard. At present, most bridges made in the United States use special aluminum alloys, and there will be almost no more fractures. The span and height of the skateboard bridge are also different. Different skateboard bridges should be matched with plates and wheels with different widths, so that it will be more comfortable to slide and easier to control.

Indy Bridge, Venture Capital, Titan, Thunder, Orion and RINDKING are all good.

★ plate wheel

Skateboard wheels are also very particular. In addition to bearing accuracy, it also depends on the performance of the wheel.

The first is hardness. Skateboard wheels are usually made of polyurethane, and the hardness of the wheels varies with the proportion of polyurethane in the wheels. Wheels with hardness of 85A(A stands for hardness) are soft, suitable for sliding on rugged roads, and the sound is extremely low when sliding, which is a good choice for friends who like to pedal shopping. 97A- 103A wheels are suitable for smooth marble and flat roads, as well as props such as U-shaped pool and platform jumping.

Followed by the diameter. 38-40mm wheels are rarely used now. This kind of wheel accelerates quickly at the start, but has little stamina. It only applies to very flat roads. It is characterized by its flexible movements. Friends who like to make small moves can try. 45mm-50mm wheels are the most suitable wheels for road types. 52-60mm wheels are more suitable for various props. You can choose cross-country wheels over 60 mm in the field, and professional mountain skateboarding uses large rubber wheels.

There was also a rebound. The rebound of the wheel is very important. Although there are no parameters to refer to, the stronger the rebound, the stronger the ability to overcome obstacles. If you don't know how well your wheels bounce, you can do a small experiment. Remove the bearing from the wheel and throw the wheel to the ground. Wheels with high bounce will bounce to the ceiling, while wheels with low bounce will only bounce to the ground twice.

Tips: Generally speaking, it costs about 1000 yuan to equip a professional skateboard. The surface which is easy to wear needs to be replaced from time to time, and its unit price is also around 400 yuan.

Selection of other equipment

After choosing a skateboard, you need to prepare some other equipment, and then you can play skateboarding.

1. Skateboarding shoes: The soles and uppers of skateboarding shoes should be made of polyurethane, and the uppers should be made of thick suede leather, which is more wear-resistant. Also, Ollie should pay attention to the position of the shoes he usually uses when taking the board, and try to avoid the shoes with wiring in these positions when choosing, so as to avoid premature scrapping of the board shoes due to off-line.

2. Skateboarding clothing: Skateboarding clothing is mainly loose, and most players choose skateboarding company's T-shirts or HIPHOP-style clothing.

3. Backpack: Skaters can consider a backpack of appropriate size according to their personal situation. Generally, tools such as wrenches and some simple spare parts such as clothes, spare tires and bearings are put in the bag, and then a pair of shoes are installed, if they are big enough. Some skateboard bags are designed to tie the skateboard to the bag, which is more convenient to carry and will not increase the size of the bag. Red syrup and band-aid can also be put in small bags.

4. Protective equipment: Skateboard protective equipment includes helmet, knee pads and wrist pads (elbow pads). It is recommended for beginners or when doing difficult movements. It is generally required to wear protective gear during the competition.
