Popular skateboards for this and next season

 Skate hardware is used to attach the trucks to the board. Each truck needs four screws and lock nuts. The length of the screws you will need depends on which style of riding you prefer.  Skateboard hardware is available in many different lengths and often contains one different colored screw which you can use to mark nose of your skateboard. Hardware will certainly be useful over time as well as other screws. If you find out that the screws are dropping or that they are rusty, it's time to invest in a new set.

 Skateboard bearings are round metal balls that fit inside the wheel. The bearings are always the same size. The only difference is the ABEC categories, from 1 to 9. These categories do not tell anything about their quality, only about accuracy of production as well as its speed. The higher number says that the skate will go faster and better. Bearings on the whole set need the most of your care, so we must not forget to clean and lubricate them. ABEC 1 - bearings are the cheapest, the most crude, and the least accurate. Steel quality is not too high. ABEC 3 - are generally inexpensive, but they also allow a smooth and fast ride. ABEC 5 - standard for most types of skateboarding. Higher speed at an affordable price. ABEC 7 - very fast, longer keeps constant speed, so it is better suited to the pool.

 Wheels have an enormous influence on speed, stability and overall riding experience. They are usually made of polyurethane, because the only one is durable and runs. However, the life of each wheel is limited. It depends how often you ride. If you want to keep them as long as possible, it's good to swap them on the board. The basic parameters of wheels include the size, indicated in millimeters, and hardness (durometer). Both parameters are a matter of personal preferences and style what you want to ride. Wheel size Small wheels have a lower weight and faster pop, because you have a tail near to the ground and you do not have to reflect as much. Larger wheels provide more stable ride and they better get over with road inequality. Larger wheels are faster.  50-53 mm - small, slower wheels, street, skatepark and bowl 54-59 mm - average size for beginners and more advanced riders, best suited for street, bowl and ramps 60 mm + - Made for cruising and rough surfaces. Hardness o...

 Board is the most important part of the skateboard, it is the only part which is in direct contact with your leg, so it is important to choose an ideal one just for you. Width, profile (concave) - think about both of these attributes properly before you choose the skateboard.  The width of the skateboard determines driving style When choosing a skateboard you have to look at the width rather than anything else. This is what determines which style of riding is appropriate. Board width - riding style: 7,5"- 8" - riding in the park 8"- 8,25" - park/street 8,25" and more "- street/pool Every board behaves a little differently. Narrow boards are faster in trick, wider are more stable when riding and impacting. The right width is individual, each rider prefers something different, so finding the right one can take a bit of time. Material The most commonly used material is canadian maple. The board is made of several veneers, mostly seven, which are laminated ...

 Trucks are an indispensable part of the skateboard. When transferring your weight, the trucks indicate the direction of ride, ie. where the weight is transferred, there the truck turns. That's why it is important to choose right trucks. Trucks are made up of main parts, such as baseplate, kingpin, hanger and axle that we are most interested in weight. All of these components should be as light as possible and, of course, the most durable. They are often used for tricks like grinding (riding on truck). The size of trucks is chosen according to the width of the board. Center axis of the axle which hold wheels should correspond with width of the board. So if you have an eight-inch board, then choose eight-inch trucks. Trucks are divided into three categories due to different wheel heights: Low - trucks for small wheels, low trucks offer extraordinary stability, we recommend low trucks for wheel sizes from 50 to 53 mm. Mid - ideal for park or street, medium size is ideal for wheel...
