Skateboard buying guide

If you think buying a skateboard is not a hard job that you might want to ask a novice skater. Well I am not telling you that it’s the toughest job in the world but if haven’t consulted with someone who has some knowledge in or if you have gone thru a skateboard buying guide than I can confidently say that it’s not as easy as you think. More than just buying a skateboard it’s buying a right skateboard for you. Knowing how much skateboards can cost, along with the huge amount of varieties to select from and finding the right skateboard for you is tough. You can either buy a complete skateboard (skateboard that’s already assembled) or you can buy different components and assemble it later. However you buy it there are few things you should know and consider before buying a skateboard.
Width: width of skateboard is essential. For an average 6 feet tall human most appropriate width of the board is 8 inch. Width of the board should be always proportionate and you should feel comfortable standing on it.
Trucks: Trucks that should be paired with your skateboard. Turning radius of a skater is shortened if the trucks are wide and the landing over the surface is also quite stable in that case. Thin trucks are lighter in weight and thereby make it easy for skaters to do their stunts and tricks.
Wheels: wheels are the other thing that should be taken with importance. Hardness levels and size of wheels plays great role. A small wheel that is around 55 millimeters in size or less and is quite hard is an appropriate choice for street skateboarding. A long skate board is appropriate for long ride and cruising.
Bearings: it’s the bearing that keeps your skate gliding on the road. So they are very important component. It’s the part that allows you to perform different tricks and stunts. So you have to be careful on this while buying a skateboard.
After talking about few important parts that you should check before buying a skateboard let’s move to shopping part. Most important thing you have to consider if you are a novice that you can’t repair a skateboard. If it breaks than you might have to buy a new so do not buy some expensive skateboards. And that doesn’t mean you should go for totally cheap skateboards. You should search for moderate priced but strong skateboards. For that you can go online. You can compare prices read review and can easily decide what to buy if you go online. For different safety reasons do not buy skateboards from mass sell or toy shop. The long boards and skateboards purchased from superstores might be poorly made with wheels and trucks that could break easily.
