Skateboards FAQs
Why should I turn to Skatestreet.com for information on skateboard related equipment and gear?
This site is a vital source for skateboarders of all ages and skill levels because of the multitude of skateboard brands and companies that have saturated the market. This wide array of options at skateboard shops and online retail outlets can make it difficult for new skaters, or even amateur competitors and pros, to navigate all the choices, styles and price points. This site offers the basics on skateboards and decks, along with which shops carry to most diverse styles and brands.
What components do I need to assemble a skateboard and should I do it myself?Once a skateboarder has picked out one of the many styles of skateboard decks, they need to outfit it with skateboard trucks, bearings, wheels, grip tape and hardware. These components can come separate and be assembled in store or at home, or a skater can purchase a complete skateboard that is delivered completely assembled and ready to ride. The difference simply depends on the skater, their skill level and understanding of how these components are assembled, and what brand names they prefer to ride.
Why should I invest in specific skateboard shoes and not just use the ones I wear for everyday?Practically, being a skateboarder means wearing out shoes quickly, as they shred against grip tape and are beat up through practicing the sport. Skateboard shoes tend to be specially designed to last longer, and to support the most commonly impacted parts of the foot.
