What are the parts of the skateboard?

In addition to the board and wheels, there are several parts of the skateboard. Different parts of skateboard are important for its performance during use. The primary parts of the skateboard are deck, trucks, wheels and bearings, hardware and grip tape.

The deck is the board itself. The deck is made of multilayer wood, often maple, but sometimes other wood compressed together, is part of the skateboard you are standing on. The average width is between 7.5 and 8 inches (19.05 to 20.32 cm) and the average length is about 32 inches (81.28 cm), but both may vary. The size and shape of the deck is only relevant to the skater's personal preference and is usually based on what type of skating - street or vertical (vert) - it prefers. The trucks consist of smaller parts, including axle, cases and king. Generally, aluminum alloy or titanium is produced and come in different colors. There are different properties, although again the selected set of trucks is a matter of passenger preferences. The trucks are held on a board with a hardware of nuts andscrews.

Skateboard wheels are plastic urethan and differ in hardness. The softer wheels are preferred for skating Vert, while harder wheels are preferred for street skating. The wheels come in different sizes to achieve different performance levels. Smaller wheels offer less resistance in maneuvering tricks, while larger wheels provide greater stability. The bearings appear inside the center of the wheel and measure according to the ABEC scale (Commission for Rings Engineers), which measures the range of tolerance and the accuracy of the bearings.

The

grip tape is rough, its own adhesive cover, which is applied to the upper part of the deck. Its purpose is to provide traction when rid of. The grip tape comes in different colors and graphics. There are other accessories that can be purchased to integrate into the main parts of the skateboard, such as risers that change the height of the board from the ground. Accessories are not for the design of the boardNecessary in any way, but it can provide a way to adapt the performance and appearance of the board.

When buying a skateboard, you can buy one complete, which includes a selection of all parts of the skateboard, or you can only buy the necessary parts. Two of the most commonly purchased individual parts of the skateboard are deck and kings that can easily break depending on use and quality.
