What to Buy and What to Avoid

You should be careful buying cheap skateboards, because cheap mean dangerous. Those skateboards might be sold in the toy store ar from nearest superstore. Mostly the skateboards are mass produced by companies that have little concern about the quality of the products they produce.

Think smart that skateboards are dangerous. So, don’t ever want to buy a cheap skateboard that is poor in quality which will make it even more dangerous to ride on especially when you plan on practicing your tricks on it.

Cheap skateboards will usually mean weak trucks, poor quality wheels that can break easily, freezing bearings, and boards that break easily. Good skateboard manufacturers will spend a lot of time to make the skateboards that are safer, better and last longer.

Instead of that mass produced cheap skateboard, try to buy a complete pro grade skateboard. Usually, skateboards like this will cost around $120. There are so many skateboard brands that you can choose from. If you are not sure which one to buy, try to take a look at skateboard brand reviews on the internet. You can also try building your own pro grade skateboard. You can purchase the decks, trucks, wheels, and bearings separately. If you don't want to spend out a lot of money, sometimes you will find good quality skateboards out there that aren't as expensive as the pro grade ones but not as cheap as the mass produced ones.

If you are buying your kid his or her first skateboard, you can cut some corners. However, never buy the $20 skateboards for your kids` safety. For sure, you want the best quality skateboard to prevent accidents and serious injuries.
