What do weight and durability do in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2?

In the Skate Shop in Tony Hawk 2 on PS1, decks have four different stats: Weight, Speed, Durability, and Turning.

Speed and Turning seem self-explanatory, but what do Weight and Durability do?

Based off this article https://www.ign.com/faqs/2002/tony-hawks-pro-skater-2-walkthroughfaq-367640 I'm not so sure that weight and/or durability affect anything. My thinking is that they are just stats that are there to make the "decks" feel unique.

From the article:

The Skate Shop is used to upgrade a character's skateboard. In the Skate Shop you can modify your deck and trucks. The trucks affect the turning statistic and the deck affects the weight, speed and durability statistics. Turning, weight, speed and durability all have a minimum value of 1 and a maximum value of 5.

[...] There are three kinds of trucks. They affect a skater's turning ability. All three different kinds of trucks are available at the start and are free. Tight trucks have a turning value of 1. Medium trucks have a turning value of 3. Loose trucks have a turning value of 5.
