Choosing the right skateboard for you can sometimes prove to be a difficult task. If you are wanting to use it to travel to work for expample, you may choose a different board than if you wanted to perform tricks in a skate park. It also depends on your height and weight, whether you are a beginner of professional skater.
Below is a list of the most common pre-built skateboards you can buy.
The standard board: -
The standard board is ideal for skateparks and riding down roads and pavements as it comes with hard wheels. These boards come in various widths and the narrower the width of the board the easier it is to do tricks with. The length of the board is on personal preference but as a rule the larger the feet size the longer the board.
The Longboard:-
You can get longer skateboards and these are primarily designed for better stability and are built for speed and long distance riding. Many downhillers choose this type of board.
The Cruiser board: -
The difference with the cruiser board is that it is designed for roads and pavements and can come with softer wheels for more comfort. It is worth mentioning that any board you buy can be customised with new parts at a very reasonable price to meet your preferences. Indeed a lot of professionals prefer to purchase a board as parts so that they can customise the board for their own needs.
