What to avoid when buying a Skateboard
There are telltale signs of a poor-quality complete skateboard, ideally, you should avoid buying skateboards with the following:
• Plastic skateboard decks. Instead, plywood-based decks have superior shapes and are better suited to tricks.
• Plastic trucks or any fixed trucks that do not lean or turn. Instead, metal alloy trucks have 2 polyurethane bushes that allow the skateboard to turn.
• Hard plastic wheels or super-soft rubber wheels. Instead, polyurethane wheels are the best balance of grip and durability, look for a durometer rating between 90a and 100a.
