How To Pick A Skateboard Deck


If you are new to skateboarding then you may be new to all the things that a skate board is built around. Today, our focus is going to be around the skateboard deck. If you aren\'t sure what a skateboard deck is, it is the actual board that you are standing on. If you are serious about skateboarding then you should spend enough time to pick out your skateboard deck.

Because skateboarding is so popular, you can find many different makers, shapes and sizes. There is no hard and fast rule in selecting a deck. However, you should select one which you are comfortable with. At the same time time, it may be a good idea to buy a built skateboard, and then as you get better, you will see the differences. Once you have sufficient skateboarding experience, you have your own preference and you should follow that.

The average length of a skateboard is around 28\" to 32\" and this is from tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. The average width of a skateboard deck is around 7.5\" to 8.25\". Remember, the width of the deck is based on the size of the skateboarder and the type of skateboarding you want to do. The bigger your you are, the odds are the wider board you will need. Now, this is general so there are probably exceptions. The wheelbase of a skateboard can be defined as the distance from one pair of inner mounting holes to the other pair of inner mounting holes. Invariably the wheelbase is between 13\" to 15\". The choice of wheelbase again depends on the height of the skateboarder.

Now, there are also different kinds of special boards that are outside of that exception. You may be familiar with wide boards, or even those that are meant for skating on grass.

You have to remember that the nose of your skateboard deck is the front end. The nose is just above the mounting holes. While the tail is the rear end of your deck and is directly behind the mounting holes. The tail of a skateboard deck is a little bit shorter and thinner than the nose. Mounting holes are nothing but pre-drilled holes where the trucks are attached. One set of mounting holes are near the nose and the other is near the tail.

Again, when you buy your board, all of these things come pre set. You just have to pick up the board, and you are good to go.

Once you have selected and purchase your first skateboard deck, you will need to buy wheels, bearings, trucks and grip tape to finish the entire skateboard setup. One thing you need to do is make friends with the guys at the shop, and let them know where you are in your skill level. Most people are so into skating that they will be excited to really help you. Another skater in the community is always welcome.
