Skate stoppers, called speed bumps, are small raised pavement sections designed to slow down skateboarders and inline skaters. They can be a nuisance, getting in the way of a good skating session. But removing them is quite simple – all you need is a power drill and some patience.
How to do it:
- Using a power drill, make a hole in the center of the skate stopper.
- Insert a long screwdriver into the hole and twist it until the stopper pops out.
- Repeat for each stopper until they’re all removed.
And that’s it! You can get rid of those pesky skate stoppers for good with just a few simple tools and a little effort. Happy skating!
How do Skatestoppers work?
Skatestoppers are used on a skateboard to make it easier to skate. They are put on the skateboard deck, which creates a larger surface area, or where the wheels are, and there are a few different stoppers. You will most commonly see a metal plate attached to the skateboard deck.
These metal plates have several holes, which are meant to fit with the metal pieces of the stopper, which secure the stopper in place. If you want to remove a stopper, it is best to use a screwdriver to loosen the screw, then use pliers to bend the metal plate away from the skateboard deck. The skateboard is now ready to be used.
How to put a new skate stopper on.
When figuring out how to put a new stopper on your skateboard, you may find it difficult to find the right tool for the job. If you need to remove or put a new skate stopper on your skateboard, you can use a screwdriver to remove or put a new one on. Use the screwdriver to remove the screws holding the stopper and put it on the opposite way. To put the stopper back into place, use the same screwdriver to put it back where it was.
Why do you need to remove skate stoppers?
Skateboarders need to remove the stoppers from their skateboards to have the best time possible. Stopping on a stopper means you must stop, making your skateboard harder to manoeuvre. If you have stoppers on your feet, you can’t use your brakes properly, making it harder for you to skate.
Stopping also can make it easier for other skateboarders to hit you. If you want to do tricks, you need to be able to stop on a dime. Skaters need to remove their stoppers to do their tricks smoothly. If you want to do a kickflip or a 360, you must make sure you can stop just in time.
Tips for maintaining your skateboard.
To maintain your skateboard, it’s important to clean and lubricate it regularly. If you don’t, the skateboard will become stiff, and it will become difficult to ride. If you want to maintain your skateboard, clean it regularly.
The best way to clean it is to use a wire brush to remove the dirt, grime, and embedded dirt. It’s also important to regularly oil the bearing and lube the axle to ensure the wheel is spinning properly. If you want to take care of your skateboard, you should wash it with soap and water, but make sure to dry it before storing it and avoid putting it in a humid environment.
