At Inercia we have countless skate components of all qualities and prices so you can build the skate of your dreams.
As usual, if you have any questions or want us to assemble your skateboard with the components of your choice, you just have to tell us.

At skating, always wear protections!

Skateboarding is a very fun activity, but it has its risks, like any extreme sport. Wearing good protections can make the difference between being injured or being able to continue skating your skate the next day. Without a doubt, the most important protection is the helmet. A good helmet for your skateboarding sessions is essential. From here, you can also use knee pads, elbow pads, gloves or wrist guards and even pants with protection.
In our protections section you have a wide range of protections for skateboard that are not only of great quality and protection, but are also really cool.
