Skid plates protect the underside of your board.[[File:Shattered Underside.jpg|thumb|Rock impact|right|285x285px]]
__NOTOC__
=== Self-lubrication ===
The friction between a skid plate and an immovable obstacle makes the difference between a stall and a slide. Self-lubrication is important for performing [[Tricks]] and improves the chances of a recovery if an immovable object (such as a curb) is accidentally hit.
