| sooo where do you guys get your skate brand stickers from ? I find it super hard to find skate brand stickers here in portugal, you can't even buy them! also it's hard to finds magazines like skateboarder magazine, thrasher and transworld, and if you do find them, they cost around 10€ each =S I know they come with stickers, but I never found any issues of those two for sale |

I find it super hard to find skate brand stickers here in portugal, you can't even buy them! also it's hard to finds magazines like skateboarder magazine, thrasher and transworld, and if you do find them, they cost around 10€ each =S I know they come with stickers, but I never found any issues of those two for sale I have a range of about 300 skate stickers and 200 fingerboard stickers. Wanna buy? Unfortunately since my HDs died, I will have to take some pictures when I get back to the UK where most of the stickers are. Will be there 17th Sep. You live in Lisbon. Surely there must be places to get skate magazines there. Is there really no Portuguese skateboarding magazine? WHAT SORT OF THIRD WORLD COUNTRY IS PORTUGAL? (Just joking) Maybe look online as well, you might be able to place a subscription on the internet. I won't look for you because I'm scared of all the Português. And to be honest, I never paid for any of my stickers. Here's how I got mine: 1. Skate mags - some issues will come with a whole page size sheet full of stickers. I was a subscriber of Sidewalk (UK based mag) for a few years and it's a really good deal and you get freebies with it. I also occasionally bought Document (another UK mag) and that also sometimes came with a sheet of stickers. One time I was sneaky and bought a Document mag and put the stickers from a Cassette (UK BMX mag) into the Document mag. I've never had Thrasher or Transworld myself but they probably come with them too. 2. Skateboard products - you should get stickers with loads of stuff: T shirts (attached on the label), shoes (in the box), decks (inside the plastic), wheels (in the plastic), hardware, bearings, DVDs, etc 3. Skateshops - buying something? Ask for extra stickers if they have any. They might even give you some if you're not buying anything but don't be a dick if they say no. 4. Events - Is there a skate comp, demo or other event nearby? Go along, sometimes they will give out stickers and you might get stickers and other products in a product toss. If it's not a pro contest, you could even enter and you might get something even if you don't win. 5. By mail - Some companies (I know Emerica and éS used to do this) have offers where you post a stamped addressed envelope (SAE) to the company, possibly including a small fee (£1-3), and they'll post you like 100 stickers. There have also been some offers I found in the past from skate stores that sent free stickers if you signed up on their site. 6. Online skateshops - I always put a comment requesting extra stickers if I order something. SS20 in the UK are great. 7. From friends - if you know your friend(s) has gone/will go to an event or something or if they suddenly acquire a shitload of stickers, there's no harm in asking for some. And this is my guide on how to be a freeloading cheapskate and get free stickers. |

| How long are RAD decks ? And it is possible to do teck combos, hardflips, nollie flips, etc... With this decks, once you get used to ? I now, everybody say that you can do new school and old school tricks with this same deck. But it is as "easy" as with a normal deck ? |

I would assume it's gonna take a bit of getting used to, but after a while everything should get easier to do on one. Just like any other deck it will take getting used to. |

my backs are kinda worn, maybe that will help fit? BRT edition and regular FF wheels are the same (with the back part that is) The only thing that makes them BRT edition is that there is a groove that the bearing sits in, so once the bearing is in, it can't ever come out. regular wheels don't have the groove so they can still come in and out. BRT hangers push on the bearing of the wheel because they're tapered and can fit inside the back of the wheels. (less friction and requires less axle space) After a while of using them you'll need to pull on both wheels to pop the bearing back into place. After a while that might ruin the inside of the wheels from constant wear on the inside. I've had non-brt edition wheels on my BRTs before and it was very annoying to get bearing bite, so I suggest getting some BRT edition wheels in the near future. hope this helps |

| ^I heard there are different methods than grooves, such as a tiny amount of heat to melt the wheel to the bearing without glue and/or damaging the wheel or bearing.. but either way basically the main difference as you said is a bearing lock system.
despite what places like FF say brr ed wheels work on all trucks. I don't get why all single bearing wheels don't go over to BRR ed wheels, it just makes them more compatible with everything - buying g6s or something seems a waste of money these days compared to a few dorra more for ff brr ed wheels (which are brilliant). |
