A Skid Plate is a piece of plastic that attaches to the underside of the tail and/or nose. It is designed to prolong the life of a deck by protecting the nose and tail from wear tear caused by skidding. This is more important for a freestyler than a street skater as many common freestyle maneuvers wear the nose and tail down very quickly and this would get very expensive as deck replacements would be frequent.
