How to soften a 11.5 inch baseball glove?


1,Start out by buying a good-quality 11.5 inch baseball glove.
2,Take the glove oil and apply a small amount to the dish towel (or another soft cloth). Most glove manufacturers sell their own glove oil, but such products as foam shaving cream, mink oil or saddle soap can also be used.
3,Use the dish towel to thoroughly rub the product you’ve chosen all over the 11.5 inch baseball glove. Excessive amounts of the softening product may actually damage the glove.
4,Allow the glove to dry overnight. Afterward, take a dry cloth and wipe your glove all over.
5,Use the glove as much as possible. That is the best way to soften the glove and form a pocket for the baseball to land in.
6,Place a baseball in the pocket of the glove. Take your rubber band (or string, belt) and wrap it tightly around the baseball glove so the glove is closed in on the ball. Allow the glove to sit like this for two days.
7,Resume using your 11.5 inch baseball glove everyday after completing Step 6. Every night for at least two weeks put the baseball in the glove as described in Step 6.

How to change speed pro complete skateboard bearings?

1,Gather the proper tools. A pro complete skateboard key will work, but you can substitute a basic screwdriver and wrench.
2,Remove the wheels with your skate key. If you have shields installed, you must remove those as well. Keep your spacers, if you are using them, to use with the new bearings.
3,Apply pressure with the speed pro complete skateboard axle to pop the bearings off. You can also use a screwdriver or a skate key that includes a removal nub, but the easiest way is to slowly pry the bearing out with the axle. Make sure only the tip of the axle is inside the bearing and it is not touching the wheel.
4,Pry the bearing out carefully if you want to save the part. If you are throwing your bearings out, then you can apply more pressure, which may cause damage. Just be careful not to hurt the wheels.
5,Repeat prying each bearing out with the axle until all eight bearings have been removed.

How to Do a Kickflip on a speed pro complete skateboard?

1,Set your feet up like you would for an ollie.
2,Place the ball of your front foot toward the middle of the board and slightly below the front bolts.
3,Hit your tail as you would for an ollie, but instead of dragging your front foot up the speed pro complete skateboard, drag it toward the side of the board with a flicking motion. The faster the flick, the faster the flip. It’s all in the ankle.
4,Stay over the board as you are jumping and the board is flipping (it’s important not to push down on the board once you’re up so that it can continue to rise).
5,Let the pro complete skateboard hit your back foot once it has flipped completely. This is called catching the flip. Your front foot should not be far behind in getting back on the board, but the back foot usually catches it first. This allows you to control the trick on the way down.
6,Land with your feet as close to the bolts as possible.
7,Do another one.

How to clean a 12 inch baseball glove?


1,Get a cloth and apply a mild soap with a built in moisturizer. Rub it into the 12 inch baseball glove until the dirt has been removed. You may need to change cloths several times while cleaning the glove.
2,Use a dry cloth to buff the 12 inch baseball glove after you are finished removing the dirt. You should not rinse away the soap with water.
3,Take petroleum jelly and apply it generously over the glove. Petroleum jelly is used to condition the leather of the 12 inch baseball glove.
4,Remove any excess petroleum jelly with a clean cloth or rag. This process will also remove any dirt that was not removed by the soap.
5,Put the petroleum jelly inside of the glove as well. This is to remove any grime or sweat build up is in the glove.
6,Allow it time to dry. Once the glove has dried completely, it is ready to be used on the field once again.

How to do a frontside 360 ollie on a skateboard?

1,Set up your feet just as you would for an ollie.
2,Begin to wind up your body so you can explode frontside when you go (but don’t wind up too much or it gets ugly).
3,Hit your tail and ollie as hard as you can. The key to this trick is getting enough height so you’ll have time for the full rotation.
4,Turn your body just like a frontside 180, but be a full 180 degrees at the height of the trick.
5,Achieve maximum air.
6,Push the nose of the pro complete skateboard down with your front foot. This will cause the speed pro complete skateboard, and you, to come around the full 360. Your body will be behind in the turn, so be loose and let the board lead. You will naturally corkscrew a bit.
7,Land on all four wheels if possible. Your rear wheels should naturally come down at the same time as your front wheels simply due to the way your body turns. Do your best not to land on your front wheels; you’ll loop out and spin all over the place.
