COMPLETE SKATEBOARDS VS. CUSTOM SETUP
DECK WIDTH
Picking the right deck makes a huge difference. A smaller deck can give more control, while a wider deck can offer more stability. Consider your age, height, shoe size and skating style.
COMPONENTS
While complete skateboards come with wheels, trucks, and bearings pre-assembled, when you're building a custom skateboard, you can pick components suited to your own style.
SAFETY GEAR
Skateboarding is fun, but safety is key, especially when you’re just starting out. Make sure to wear a helmet, knee pads, and elbow pads.
