What Skateboard, skateboard and skateboard replacement to buy?
There are many models of skateboard decks, trucks, and wheels. As we said before, if you are a beginner, it is better not to complicate yourself and buy a complete skateboard. Of course, look first at the size you need. The width of the skateboard decks is measured in inches and although it is recommended that the feet placed diagonally on top do not protrude from the board, there are skaters who feel more comfortable with boards of sizes that in theory are not suitable for their height or foot size.
As for the skateboard trucks, it is usual that it is not much wider than the board. The height of the axle will depend on the type of wheel we want to mount.
Skate wheels are also a very important element of skateboarding. The greater the diameter of the wheel, the more speed we can achieve with the wheels, but the slower they will be to accelerate. The usual thing is to use skateboard wheels between 52mm and 56mm.
There are other elements such as bearings, sandpaper or screws that are also of some importance but are not decisive when buying a skateboard.
Frequently asked questions about Skateboarding
How to choose the best skateboard for me?
The most important thing when choosing a skateboard is knowing the size you need. As a general rule, if you are taller than 1.6 meters and you are an adult, you need a skateboard that is 7.5” or larger. For children from 9 to 12 years old you will need a measurement of 7.3” and for younger children, 7” or less. As for the model, the easiest thing to do is to opt for a complete skate from a well-known brand. Starting at around €50 you can have a decent skateboard. However, for a little more, you can already enjoy skates of a much higher quality.
How to start with skateboarding
The first thing we recommend is that you use all the protections. When starting out skateboarding, it's easy to take a fall. So it is better to prevent. Find a quiet area with the smoothest floor possible and place one of your feet on top of the front axle. Put your body weight on top of that leg and push off with the other. Little by little try to make the steps longer and hold longer with both feet on the board. The body should always be slightly forward with the legs bent. If you have the possibility, a good idea to learn to ride a skateboard is to go to a skate school.
When was skateboarding created?
Around the 50s, in California, a group of surfers bored because there were no waves in the sea, decided to put wheels on their surfboards. Thus skateboarding was born. What wheels should I put on my skateboard? If you are going to use the skateboard for railing and street tricks, better use 52mm to 54mm wheels or less. If what you like is to use the skate for ramp and skatepark, you can use wheels from 53mm to 60mm.
What is the difference between a cheap skateboard and a branded one?
So many!!! The quality of the wood, its weight and bending. The quality of the axes, robustness and turning capacity. The feel of the wheels or their durability. All this changes radically between a cheap skate and a branded one.
