Wheels suggestions: Spitfire Classics 52 mm-54 mm/99D, Bones STF. These are the most common (high-quality) wheels every street skater likes.

The cheapest we bought and recommend is the CCS complete which is a great starter skateboard for skate parks. Most shops will apply grip tape and you get free grip tape as a bonus. Standard grip tape is fine but fancy prints aren’t always the best.If they’re too tall you could shorten them, but it will leave sharp edges, don’t do that. Custom Skateboard and Styles Suggestions Buying skateboard parts yourself is usually more expensive but when it comes to quality you get the best. Q: Do all skateboard bearings fit all wheels? A: Yes, it’s all standard sizing so don’t worry about that. Bearings are overrated, cheaper skateboard bearings work fine. A basic approach to choosing what size board to choose is by shoe size. If you wear a shoe ranging from sizes 6 – 9, a safe recommendation would be to select a 7.75″– 8″ wide skateboard.

If you don’t want to assemble a skateboard yourself there are a few decent options out there. Buying a pre-assembled skateboard might seem easy but a good complete skateboard is hard to distinguish. Bones bearings and Bronson are excellent bearings and come in different price ranges but the cheaper version are the best choice. When it comes to deciding which wheel option to choose from, it's best to know what kind of riding you will be doing. While they will both give you the same Range per charge, there are a few things to consider. inch: These wheels offer more torque. This means it has better hill climbing ability and faster acceleration and stopping at the low end. The smaller circumference means that the top speed on flat ground is up to 25mph.

Make sure you know what you want to ride and where. There are different setups available for different styles. For more details I suggest to visit one of these articles: Bearings: Often made of cheap materials, leading to issues like improper wheel spinning or not spinning at all. I was pleasantly surprised because I thought these cheap Tony Hawk branded skateboards we’re terrible. They’re actually pretty decent and cheap if you shop smart. Often the bushings are either too soft or too hard resulting in a board that turns too fast or too slow. This can be fixed using a skate tool. Make sure to clean them 2x a year to get the most out of them. Proper maintenance can triple their life span, oh and don’t skate in the rain. It will kill your bearings. Step 6. Grip Tap, Hardware, and a Skate ToolRest assured, a beginner will hardly notice the difference between professional skateboard and a decent complete skateboard. Some tape will come off because of poor quality so don’t go shopping for fancy stuff unless you don’t mind replacing it when it peels off.
