Skid plates protect the underside of your board.
Self-lubrication
The friction between a skid plate and an immovable obstacle makes the difference between a stall and a slide. It is possible to decrease the coefficient of friction of a surface by applying a lubricant (such as Paraffin Wax) on it. It is also possible to simply use a self-lubricating material which will remove the need for prior application entirely.
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.
