The parts that make up skateboards
Skateboard Deck
The deck is the part of your skateboard you stand on. Skateboard decks are usually 7 layers of maple wood, glued together and pressed into a shape. The shape allows you to identify the front and back of your skateboard. There are many different shapes to choose from so you can buy a deck that suits your style.
Skateboard Griptape
On your skateboard is griptape. Griptape is a sandpaper-like material that is stuck to the top of your skateboard. The griptape keeps you firmly on your skateboard and prevents you from slipping. It is essential for doing your skate tricks.
Skateboard Trucks
You need 2 trucks on your skateboard. Trucks is used to turn while skating. It consists of two metal parts: Namely the hanger, where the wheels are attached and the baseplate, which connects to deck.
Skateboard Wheels
Wheels are essential so you can ride your skateboard. Skateboard wheels are made of plastic urethane. There are different degrees of hardness, widths and sizes you can choose from.
Skateboard Rollementen
Without rolling elements, your wheels won't turn. There are different rolling elements, but they are more or less not much different from each other. You can choose between the best-selling rolling elements Bronson Bearings, Cortina bearings, Nothing Special and more.

When should I replace my skateboard deck?
A skateboard deck is made of 7 layers of pressed maple wood. Unfortunately, a skateboard deck does not last forever. Over time, your skateboard deck will simply wear out. There can be a few reasons for this:
- Moisture: Skateboard deck has not been wet by the rain. When your skateboard is wet, the wood becomes softer and you have less 'pop' or jumping power. You can hear this in the dull sound when you tap the ground with your skateboard.
- Razor tail: This can happen by often braking on your tail and scraping the tail on the ground. The tail then becomes very sharp. Because of a raizer tail you lose pop. If you have a raizer tail it is definitely necessary to replace your skateboard deck.
- Chips: Chips are in fact cracks in your skateboard and when pieces of wood come off your skateboard. Then a replacement of the skateboard is definitely necessary.
If these reasons occur to you, we recommend that you replace your skateboard.
