Hello today I am going to write about skateboards which are the fingerboards eldest brother.
Skateboards are a type of sports equipment or a toy made of 5 to 7 plies of maple wood. A skateboard is moved by someone putting their front leg on the first for bolts and the other leg to push. There is two types of foot placements. The goofy footed or the normal footed. The goofy footed is where rider’s leading foot is their right foot, he/she is said to ride goofy.
Recently, electric skateboards have also appeared. These no longer require the propelling of the skateboard by means of the feet rather an electric motor propels the board, fed by an electric battery. There are different types of skateboards. The cruiser, The penny and the old school boards.
The following descriptions cover skateboard parts that are most prevalent in popular and modern forms of skateboarding. Many parts exist with exotic or alternative constructions. A traditional complete skateboard consists of the deck (often with grip tape applied on top to enhance traction), trucks (with urethane bushings), wheels (with sealed bearings), bushings, nuts and bolts to fasten the truck and wheel assembly to the bottom of the deck. Older decks also included plastic parts such as side, tail, and nose guards.
The parts of the skateboards are the trucks, the wheels with bearing, the rip tape and the board itself. Grip tape is a piece of sand paper with adhesive under is to make is stick on to the board.
