Skateboard spare parts kit consists of deck, trucks, wheels, bushing, nuts, grip tape, screws kit, and bolts, each designed for a unique function. Before buying the skateboard spare parts online, one should have a basic understanding of each component and its use. Deck: It is the board upon which the skateboarder stands. It’s made of seven or nine layers of birch or maple wood and is available in three different sizes. These are the modern deck (18 to 27 cm), standard deck (71 and 94 cm), and long deck (91 cm). Grip tape: It is a sheet of fabric with adhesive on one side and a surface similar to fine sandpaper on the other. Grip tape is useful for the skaters to maintain the grip on the deck while doing tricks. They are bought according to the size of your deck. Wheels: Wheels are the heart of a skateboard, without which it will not able to function. They are made of polyurethane and measured by their size and hardness. Wheels that work best for you will depend on the style of skating you want to do—small wheels are slower and better for street skating, whereas larger wheels are faster and best suited for cruising and vert skating. Trucks: It is the attachment that connects the wheels and bearings to the deck, which allows the board to turn. Truck parts include the top part of the truck, which is the baseplate, and the lower part to that, which is the hanger. Hardware: These are the miscellaneous nuts, bolts, and screws that hold all the skateboard parts together. Skateboard Backpack: It helps you to carry around your skateboard, helmet, and your equipment for transportation when you go skating. Skateboarding and Longboarding Tool: An important and essential all-in-one tool for gearing up the screws on your skateboard.

Here are some tips to fix small problems with skateboards parts Razor Tail: Grit Sandpaper or sanding block is the quick and easy work for razor tail. Rub the sand back and forth along the edge till razor tail is gone. Delamination: When the ply sheets’ of the deck start coming apart, squirt wood glue is one of the best glues to fix the problem. Just make sure that there is enough space to apply the glue between the separated ply and deck.

Skateboarding is not just a sport, it’s an emotion. The adrenaline rush which skateboarding provides is not easily rivaled. Skateboarders are pure thrill-seekers at heart and the board their best friend. It’s essentially nothing but a plank on wheels but a seasoned skateboarder would heartily disagree with that statement. There are so many details to be looked at while selecting your perfect fit.

The main parts of a skateboard are the deck, wheels, trucks, hardware, and grip tape and bearings. But doubtless, it is the skateboard deck which is the most important. It is the platform on which the skateboarder stands upon. But it’s not just that! There are a million technicalities that go into defining a good skate deck. If you are looking to buy the best skateboard deck, you will definitely find those on Decathlon. Here we offer the best designs you could ever want in superior quality maple wood which come with a promise of durability and a warranty of two years. An assortment of designs is easily available in the form of blank skateboard decks as well as ones with designs.

Let’s dive into some technicalities, shall we? Skateboard decks can be divided into the nose, the wheelbase, and the tail. If you look closely, the nose is a bit wider and steeper compared to the tail. A steeper nose and tail provide more of a “Pop” during performing kicks and flips. Curvature is also a factor that gives us three types of skate decks based upon it. These are low, medium, and high concave. The amount of curvature accounts for the ability to easily flip the board and leverage you have during tricks. Which curvature is perfect for you, can only be decided by trial and error. Skate decks are typically made of maple wood, its slow growth contributing to its lasting durability. Seven to nine-layer of this wood are laminated with water-based glue or special epoxy to give a skateboard its shape and strength. And last but not the least, looks do matter too. And by that, we mean the face of your deck. It’s just like your clothes reflect your personality, so does the look of your skate deck. They come in various styles and designs to complement a person. But every skateboarder has their unique persona and style. So if you don’t find the look best suitable to you, don’t worry, you can make your perfect skateboard deck look. And for that, the best way to go is to buy a blank deck. It’ll provide you with the perfect empty canvas to create your dream skateboard design.

Now one who doesn’t know the in and out of skateboarding might ask, a skateboard comes with a deck, so why would we be investing so much thought behind just the skate deck? Let us clarify your doubts as well. Skateboards are available fully made and ready to roll. These are called complete skateboards and they don’t require any customization. But they too suffer were and tear and need their parts changed. But another reason for decks separately is the ones who assemble their boards from the scratch. These are our pro-skateboarders. For them, each and every element of their boards have to be of their choosing. Hence choosing the perfect deck is of utter importance to them.
