Can You Skateboard In The Rain?

in skateboards •  4 years ago 

People who do skateboarding on a regular basis can be seen skating on rainy days as well. Skateboarding can be done in the off-seasons but in the rainy season, it is really risky. If you have a basement or indoor place then you can practice skateboarding there rather than practicing in a wet place.

As much as possible try not to get your skateboard because,

● The bearings will slowly deteriorate from inside
● The grip tape could peel off
● The deck can get water clogged
● The bolts and nuts can rust

Is it bad to ride a longboard in the rain? It is a very common question many people ask. You can longboard in the rain but it is not a wise idea. Some may say longboarding in the rain is fun and a great way to learn different skating techniques. And some will say it is risky for you and not good for the skateboard as well. The skateboard can soak water and it becomes heavy. This can make the skateboard slow and will not provide a smooth ride like before.
However, if you want to ride a longboard and have the experience you should dry your longboard as soon as you are done riding. Do not keep it wet and dirty.
