The right skateboard to start with

Il giusto skate per iniziare - ghettoblasterwear

The best way to choose your skateboard to start is to do so by choosing only professional skateboards, because by doing so you will avoid a series of incredible annoyances that would otherwise arise punctually.

But what's the right way to choose a skateboard to start with?

I'll explain it to you clearly and quickly, so you can make the right decision without too much effort.

Skateboard

Professional skateboard decks are made of maple and the Ghettoblaster professional skateboard models use this wood.

Maple makes the board light and durable, making it last a long time.

Truck skate

Trucks are the pieces of steel that control steering and hold the parts of your skateboard together. A professional truck should allow you to steer smoothly and, above all, weigh little.

On the top Ghettoblaster models the trucks are hollow, making them even lighter.

Bushings are the plastic components that allow the truck to bend and steer. On our skateboards, we use a soft 90A bushing, which can steer well even if it weighs little.

Skate wheel

Wheels are divided into two categories: soft wheels for all surfaces and hard wheels for smooth surfaces. Ghettoblaster skateboard wheels are medium-hard and can roll well on all surfaces.

If the asphalt is really rough I'm sorry but you'll need different wheels!

Skateboard bearings

Ghettoblaster's new starter skateboards feature Abec 9 bearings, which are fast, durable and easy to clean.

Not all complete skateboards have bearings of this type, we chose them because they can make a difference when it comes to speed and durability over time.
