When buying a skateboard, weight, and height will be crucial in your decision. The characteristics of the board must conform to the weight and height of the wearer. The best skateboards will fit your body type, so look for a model that matches your size. Besides height, you should also consider the true deck size. If you plan to skate on the street, buy a skateboard with a 7.5 to 8-inch deck.

Bones Bearings

You might be looking to buy a new skateboard, but you might be wondering if you should get Bones Bearings instead. They are legendary, the best-selling skateboard bearings, and the first choice of skateboarders worldwide. However, if you’re on a budget, you may want to opt for cheaper alternatives. However, if you spend more money, you might consider buying “Swiss”-style bearings instead.

Unlike standard bearings, Bones Super Red bearings feature Balls Out Technology, which eliminates contact between the cage and shield during impact. These bearings are also made with high-quality steel races and balls and have a superior surface finish. They also don’t require spacers and have better alignment when tightening the axle nut. The super red bearings are priced lower than the regular Bones Reds but offer great performance and durability.

Bronson Speed G2 Bearings

The new Bronson Speed G2 skateboard bearings feature a custom cage for smoother bearing lubrication and precision spacing. The directions are made of Bronson G3 bearings. They are a perfect match for this board’s performance and are surrounded by a deep raceway channel, so dirt and oil can’t get in. With these features, you’ll be cruising the streets in no time.

The raw bearings feature RAW technology and are available on the Bronson Speed G2 and Bronson Speed G3 skateboards. According to Bronson Speed Co., the new bearings are the next generation of skateboard bearings. The company’s team includes new pro skateboarders and hot amateur riders such as Alec Majerus, Alex Perelson, Milton Martinez, Tye Peterson, and more.

Bearings are essential to any skateboard, and Bronson Speed Co G2 Skateboard bearings are no exception. Not only do they deliver high performance, but they are also relatively affordable. The bearings feature frictionless shields to keep oil in and moisture out, and they feature micro-groove surfaces to increase linear speed and lubrication. High-speed ceramic oil protects against corrosion and excessive wear.

Powell Peralta

Powell Peralta is a skateboard company based in Santa Barbara, California. Founded in 1978, the company grew into one of the world’s leading skateboard manufacturers during the 1980s. The company was the birthplace of the Bones Brigade, and its founder Stacy Peralta helped launch several skateboard legends’ careers. These reissued Powell Peralta skateboards are sought-after by skateboard collectors worldwide.

George Powell, a retired aerospace engineer, began building skateboards after being laid off. In 1976, he built a deck called the Quiksilver ProSlalom and marketed it through Sims. In 1978, he joined forces with Stacy Peralta and began making skateboards for her. They eventually formed the Powell Peralta skateboarding team. Powell Peralta later took over the advertising and management of the team. The company grew into a successful business and continues to manufacture skateboard wheels and Bones Bearings.

FAQs About Skateboards

The size of your skateboard deck depends on your height, shoe size, and riding style. A narrower deck (7.5” – 8.0”) provides more maneuverability for street skating and tricks. For cruising or transition skating, consider a wider deck (8.25” – 8.5”) for better stability.

When buying skateboard wheels, consider the diameter and durometer. Smaller wheels (50mm – 54mm) are ideal for street skating and tricks, while larger wheels (55mm – 60mm) are better for cruising and vert skating. Softer wheels (78A – 87A) offer more grip, while harder wheels (88A – 101A) slide easier.

ABEC ratings measure the precision of skateboard bearings. Common ratings range from ABEC 3 to ABEC 9, with higher numbers indicating greater precision and speed potential. However, the ABEC rating isn’t the only factor to consider; quality materials and lubrication also play a role in performance.

Tightening your trucks offers more stability and control at higher speeds, making it ideal for downhill or transition skating. Loosening your trucks allows for sharper turns and easier carving, which is great for street skating and cruising.

To maintain your bearings, periodically clean them using a bearing cleaner and lubricate them with skate-specific bearing oil. This prevents dirt and rust from affecting performance and extends the life of your bearings.

Street skateboards typically have smaller wheels and narrower decks, making them lighter and more maneuverable for tricks. Park skateboards often have wider decks and mid-sized wheels, offering more stability for ramps and transitions.

Grip tape should be replaced if it’s peeling, worn out, or losing its stickiness. Good grip is essential for performing tricks safely, so if your grip tape is smooth or damaged, consider replacing it for better control.

Yes, you can put cruiser wheels on a regular skateboard deck, but you may need to use riser pads to prevent wheel bite. Cruiser wheels are typically softer and larger, which can provide a smoother ride on rough surfaces.

Beginners should look for a skateboard with a medium-width deck (around 8.0”), soft wheels for a smoother ride, and medium-height trucks for better balance. Complete skateboards designed for beginners are often the best starting point.

When choosing skateboard trucks, consider the width of your deck. The truck’s axle width should match the width of your deck as closely as possible. For example, an 8.0” deck pairs well with 7.75” – 8.25” axle trucks.
