Specialised skate shop
Een skateboard is een investering, dus een snelle keuze maak je niet zomaar. Ga toch niet naar de speelgoedwinkel, want de boards daar zijn speelgoed en geen echte skateboards. Deze skateboards gaan veel sneller kapot en in tegenstelling tot ‘echte’ skateboards zijn de losse onderdelen niet te vervangen. Deze boards zijn dus een typisch gevalletje van slecht gekocht: je moet snel opnieuw kopen. Als gespecialiseerde skateshop verkopen wij alleen skateboards en onderdelen van professionele merken als Alien Workshop, Birdhouse Skateboards,PALACE,Sk8mafia and Independent. All individual parts of these skateboards can be bought and replaced separately. Moreover, as a specialised skateboard shop, we can always help you with expert advice.
Complete skateboard or composite?
A skateboard always consists of a deck (the plank), trucks (the axles), wheels, griptape and ball bearings. The first thing to consider is whether you have a complete setIf you want to buy a complete skateboard, or put together a setup yourself from all these separate parts, it's often cheaper to buy a complete skateboard. A complete skateboard is often cheaper. The quality of the parts of a complete is also comparable to that of the loose hardware you can find in our shop. The only disadvantage is that the choice of completes is more limited. If you want to get that one deck If you don't want to have those fine trucks, you'll have to put together your own skateboard. This is, of course, more fun. In general, we recommend people who are just starting out to start with a complete set. When you have more experience, you know better what you want and you can choose the deck, wheels and trucks that you like to skate.
Skateboard decks
Once you know which of the two options you are going for, you need to decide which size skateboard suits you best. This is where many beginner skaters get lost. But don't worry. As a beginner, it's almost impossible to determine the right size and shape, because you simply don't know what you want yet. Of course there are some general guidelines that you can stick to. For example, there are special miniboards for children, but kids from 12 years old can already ride an 'adult' skateboard. Not only your body plays an important role when choosing a skateboard, but also your personality. skateboard deckbut also the skateboard style you have in mind. Street skaters who do a lot of technical flip tricks often choose a narrower deck (7.5" to 8"). If you want to skate pools and ramps, you better choose the stability of a wider deck. Skaters who mainly want to cruise or want to go back to the old school era, can choose an even wider deck (above 8.25") or one of our many cruisers.
Skateboards are to be used
Whatever skateboard you ultimately choose, you will have to take into account that sooner or later it will break down. After all, skateboarding is not good for skateboards. And sometimes skateboarding isn't good for your body either ;-) If you're just starting with skateboarding, think about protection such as a helmet or wrist or elbow protectors. An accident can happen at any time! Decks can break and trucks and wheels can wear out. With the skateboards and hardware of the professional brands we sell, you can be sure of the best possible quality and the hottest style.
