Skateboard Shop FAQs
What information helps when choosing a custom skateboard?
Share how you ride, where you skate, and what you want from the board. Your shoe size and preferences for deck feel can also help narrow down deck width, shape, and components.
How do I choose the right deck width?
Deck width depends on factors such as shoe size, riding style, and personal preference. Consider the kinds of tricks and terrain you ride, then compare options to find a width that feels comfortable.
Do trucks need to match my deck?
Truck axle width should be compatible with your deck width for a balanced setup. If you are unsure which size fits, ask for help comparing truck options before assembling your board.
What skateboard wheels work for street skating?
Wheel size and hardness influence speed, grip, and how the board feels on different surfaces. Think about the spots you skate and whether you prioritize slides, smooth rolling, or control when comparing wheels.
Can I get help setting up my skateboard?
Ask about assembling or adjusting a setup, including how the deck, trucks, wheels, and bearings work together. If you already have parts, bring their details so the options can be considered.
