The 3 Most Important Skateboard Parts

Skateboarding is all about how your board feels under your feet. The right gear makes a big difference in your learning curve, confidence, and progression.

Decks: The deck is the main platform of the skateboard. Wider decks offer more stability for cruising or vert skating, while narrower decks are lighter and easier to flip, making them a favorite for street tricks. The shape and concave of the deck also play a role in control and comfort.
Trucks: The trucks determine how agile the skateboard is when turning. Low trucks are better for technical street skating, offering quicker pop and more control. High trucks give you more space for larger wheels, often used for ramps or cruising. The width of the trucks should match the width of the deck closely to avoid imbalance.
Wheels: Wheel size and hardness matter. Smaller wheels are ideal for tricks and street skating. Larger wheels roll faster and handle rougher terrain, perfect for bowls or transport. Softer wheels absorb vibrations and grip better on rough surfaces, while harder wheels slide easily and perform well on smooth surfaces.

The History of Skateboarding

Skateboarding began in California in the 1950s when people created skateboards by attaching roller skate wheels to wooden planks. It was originally a simple activity, often used by surfers looking for something to do when there were no waves to surf. During the 1960s and 70s, the design of skateboards improved, and new spaces like skateparks were built to support the growing interest.

As the sport developed, competitions and professional events became more common. By the 1980s and 90s, skateboarding had spread around the world and gained a large following. It continued to grow in popularity, with new styles and tricks emerging, and more people participating in both casual and competitive settings.

In 2021, skateboarding was included in the Olympic Games for the first time, marking a major step in its recognition as a global sport.
