You Can Build Your Own Skateboard - Here's How
Skateboards, especially customized ones, can be very expensive. Have you thought about building your own? Think how proud you would be of your skateboard knowing you made it yourself. By building your own skateboard, you can get everything you want on it and not have to settle for a board that only has some of the features you wanted.
The deck is the first part of the skateboard for you to think about. The size of the deck is important and depends on your physical size and what you want the skateboard to be able to do. If you are smaller, you can usually use a deck that is less wide than if you are a bigger person. Make sure you select a deck size that will comfortably fit your feet. Depending on the kind of skating you are going to be doing, the deck should be smaller (for more tricks and stunts) or larger (for less complicated moves).
You can customize your skateboard deck any way you want including paint and decals. You can paint the deck all one color or you could use stencils to add some details. Also, think about adding stick-on decals to make your board unique. Once your board is painted and decals have been applied, the next step is to apply a clear coat of paint to protect the board's surface and prevent it from damage.
You can choose from any number of wheels, the types and sizes are nearly unlimited. Wheels also come in any color you can imagine. It's important to find wheels with the right hardness, or durometer. Most skateboard wheels have a hardness or duromter of 99a. The average diameter of skateboard wheels is between 52mm and 55mm. Depending on how unique you want your skateboard to be, though, you may want to go with something different.
Wheel size will affect your skateboard's speed and your ability to do tricks and stunts. If you are looking for speed, you'll want to go with larger wheels. However, if you are more interested in doing stunts and tricks, smaller wheels will work better for that purpose. Consider what surfaces you will be skating on as well. You want wheels that will work on a variety of surfaces and terrains.
Bearings are what you will use to hold the wheels in place on the board. Bearings are important so make sure you get good quality bearings that will last a long time. You'll want to do some research into the different grades of bearings to see what would work best for you. Bearing grades are odd numbers ranging from 1 to 9 with the most common grades being a 3 or 5.
You'll have to find the best placement for the trucks, the axle system, on the bottom of the skateboard. The width of the trucks varies so make sure you find some that will work with your board. Also, consider the height of the trucks carefully because this will affect your ability to do tricks and stunts. The lower the trucks and the smaller the wheels, the better you can be at flips and tricks. If you decide higher trucks are for you, you'll need to use bigger wheels.
Building a skateboard is something that almost anyone can do. Make sure you don't use cheap parts on your skateboard or you won't be happy with the results. Make sure you have everything together correctly as well so your board will operate correctly and be safe. You can find detailed instructions online in written form or in videos that will help you build your skateboard. You don't need to be an expert and you don't need fancy tools to build your own skateboard.
