I've tried it while it was pouring with my world industries board, industrial trucks, pig wheels, and speed demon bearings. It was fine until maybe the tenth time i've tried. My board is twice as heavy, and the speed is 1/2 what is used to be.
Try at your own risk, if your stuff is good.

yes you can skate in the rain, but its horrendous for your gear. youll have almost no traction, your bearings/kingpin/axels/hardware will rust, and your board can delaminate and/or warp.
so if you want your gear to last, just tear your setup apart and dry everything off. or you can just get a dedicated rain setup. also, make sure your comfortable with sliding.

only if da barometer is at a angle in which the air can compress the molecules in the ecosystem, thus increasing torque and speed. u can ollie over puddles of mudd this way.word.

probably, but if u get the bearings wet, that isnt a good idea... be careful cause ur bolts may get rusty and crap. not sure, never tried skating in rain..

It depends on the quality of your trucks and berrings but usually it's ok.

Yes, it's more than ok, there's less traffic and haters so it's allot more fun.
