Have fun and skate safe. It is important to be selective when choosing the right equipment for skateboarding. Skateboards are made up of several different components. These components have technical differences for various types of terrain and styles of riding. They range in different sizes and lengths.
Grip tape is applied to the top for traction and grip while riding.
The trucks are used for turning and are adjustable to turn at different speeds and degrees. Different wheels are made for different terrain and surfaces. They are critical to the quality, functionality and safety of riding a skateboard. Two precision bearings are inserted into each wheel with a spacer between, and they are attached to the axle of the trucks with nuts. The precision bearings are machine made products for highest quality, speed and durability.
