FAQs

Deck: 7-ply Canadian maple for strength and pop, sized 7.75–8.25" for street skating depending on your age, height, and shoe size.
Trucks: Match your deck width for stability and smoother turns.
Wheels: 52–54mm, hardness greater than 99A.
Bearings: Quality ones (ABEC 9 or higher) for consistent speed.
Overall quality: Buy from a skate shop or legit skate brand, not a toy store.

Your first skateboard should feel solid, turn well, and last - the right skateboard sets the foundation for everything else.

Get the right setup : A solid complete skateboard (canadian maple skateboard) and safety gear. Skip the toy boards.
Find your spot : Smooth, quiet surfaces like empty parking lots or courts are perfect for learning balance, pushing, and stopping.
Learn the basics first : Stance, pushing, turning, and safe stopping before you touch tricks.
Practice smart : Short, regular sessions beat marathon days. Warm up, revisit old moves, add one new skill at a time.
Connect with the community : Visit skate shops, connect with local skaters, and learn from people already riding.

Adults: Stick to 8.0-8.25" for a balance of stability and control.
Teens: 7.75-8.0" works well for smaller feet and lighter riders.
Kids: Go with 7.5-7.75" so it’s easier to handle.

Board size also comes down to personal preference. Try them out at your local skate shop for a better feel, or better yet, just start riding and see what clicks.

Start small: Begin with basics like the ollie, shuv-it, and kickturns before moving to harder tricks.
Break it down: Learn each trick in steps — stance, pop, flick, landing.
Use tutorials: Watch slow-mo videos on YouTube or anywhere else to study technique.
Practice smart: Short, focused sessions work better than endless, tiring attempts.
Stay patient: Tricks take time; celebrate small progress and keep it fun.

The key is building solid fundamentals and muscle memory. Once those click, new tricks come faster. Remember to always have fun :)

Ask around: Local skaters and skate shops usually know the best spots.
Search online: Use Google Maps or Instagram location tags.
Check community socials: Local skateboarding Instagram pages or Reddit threads often share hidden gems.

Absolutely: Skateboarding made its Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020.
Events: The two competition styles are Street and Park.
Frequency: It will continue to feature in future Summer Olympic Games.

Short Answer, Not Really : You can technically skate in any shoes.
However : Skate shoes have flat soles, grippy rubber, and reinforced areas for durability.
Why it matters : They give you more board control and last longer against grip tape wear.

While not essential for your first session, proper skate shoes can make learning easier and more comfortable.
