The skateboard is mainly composed of board surface, sandpaper, bracket, PU, wheels, bridge end nuts, bridge nails, buffer pads and bearings. No matter which part, no matter what brand, it is the most correct way to choose the one that suits you best! Next, I will tell you what parts skateboarding is made up of. Come and have a look!
abrasive paper
1 piece, adhered to the upper surface of the board to increase the friction with the sole and facilitate the control of the skateboard.
bearing
Eight, each wheel is equipped with two precision bearings. Bearings have different precision and durability. Generally speaking, bearings have an ABEC mark, ranging from ABEC- 1 (the least accurate) to ABEC-7 (the most accurate). However, some bearings do not have the symbol of ABEC. For example, bone bearings have never had the ABEC logo, but their bone Swiss ceramics are one of the best skateboard bearings.
support
The bracket with wheels is the most durable part of the skateboard. You can use it to grind all kinds of surfaces. They can transform you. You know they're important, right? Let's take a look at the composition of the bridge: it consists of the shaft sleeve/shaft, the main nail of the bridge, the bushing and the bottom plate.
The base plate is the part fixed on the board surface. The thick screw passing through the bottom plate is called the kingpin. You can adjust the tightness of the pivot pin to control the flexibility of the bridge. The main nail is the most easily damaged part of the whole bridge, but it can be replaced.
Bushing is above the main nail, and each bridge has two bushings, one large and one small, with different hardness. With your purpose and? Abuse? They will break, and then your bridge can't be tightened. Fortunately, many bridge manufacturers offer replacement sleeves with different hardness.
One problem with stents is that. Sliding shaft? (Axis sliding), this kind of thing will happen when you do somersault, the board hits the ground on its side, and the axis is perpendicular to the ground (the term is primo). The shaft slides in the shaft sleeve so that one wheel is tight and the other wheel is loose.
The general way to deal with this situation is to primo the board in the opposite direction, but it is conceivable that the problem of sliding shaft will only get worse after a long time. Many companies claim that their bridges are? Non-slip? Yes, you can try.
Don't listen to others say whether the bridge is tight or loose. It all depends on your preference. A loose bridge is easy to turn, but a tight bridge is more stable. You can also tighten the rear axle slightly, so Ollie is more stable.
Of course, another aspect of choosing a bridge is weight. Nobody wants a heavy bridge? Hey, does anyone want it? No, it's fine, hehe. Some companies try their best to reduce the weight of bridges while maintaining their strength. Mill king and thunder are relatively light, while independence and destroyer are relatively heavy.
Bridges have different widths. A bridge too wide is installed on your board and looks like a turtle. When you turn the chessboard, the bridge will touch your feet. The narrow bridge prevents you from seeing the wheels when you slide. One principle of choosing the width is that the side of the slab stands up and is basically vertical on the ground after the bridge is installed. So you can do something like somersault.
Bracket plays an important role in the performance of skateboard. Bridges produced in the United States are mostly special aluminum alloys, and almost no longer break. Spans of skateboard bridges are 126 mm, 129 mm, 134 mm, 139 mm, 146 mm, etc. Skateboarding bridges with different spans and boards with different widths make skateboarding more flexible and easier to control.
The height of the bridge is also different. The higher bridge is suitable for installing larger wheels, and the lower bridge is suitable for installing smaller wheels, so it will be more comfortable to slide, and it is unlikely that the wheels will hit the board when bending or the main bridge nail will break due to excessive bending.
Indy, Venture, Destructo, Thunder, Orion, Grindking, Titan (Nissan) and other stents are all good. Indy is known as the king of stents, and its quality is self-evident. There are also quite a few people using VENTURE in America.
DESTRUCTO is the best-selling bracket in America. DESTRUCTO is very smooth when doing the action of sliding bridge on the round bar (such as 50/50, 5/0, K-GRIND, etc. ), and it is very stable. Orion's PU cushion is so good that it can be as hard as a stone when twisted, and it won't explode no matter how you use it.
GRINDKING's bridge is the lightest, but the steel bar in its central axis is not very hard, it will bend if it jumps too much, and it is not wear-resistant, but its main bridge nail is quite good, and it is reverse. Titan, according to friends who have seen it, is very good, beautiful, light and rust-proof, but it is a little more expensive than ordinary brackets.
wheel
Wheels are a neglected part of your skateboard, but wheels determine how you feel when you skate. It depends on where you skate-street, U-pool, swimming pool or indoor cricket field-which will determine what kind of wheels you choose (including size and hardness).
When you face all kinds of wheels in a skateboard shop, you will drool. You may think that they just look different and use the same, but you are wrong.
When selecting wheels, color and pattern may be important factors, but function is more important. If you want to choose the best set of wheels, there are several keys: no wheel can fit all the ground (you will think, oh, do you want me to bring several sets of wheels and change them at any time? If you skate on the same ground most of the time, you don't have to worry. You can refer to the following instructions or consult an experienced skater to make the best choice.
Wheels are made of polyurethane, which is a chemically synthesized hard rubber. Improve the performance of wheels by changing the proportion of chemical components. Every company has its own formula, so you will feel a little different when you use it. The ideal wheel you are looking for must have good elasticity, certain hardness, high speed and durability. Famous companies try to do this by changing different formulas.
The first is hardness. Skateboard wheels are usually made of polyurethane, and the hardness of the wheels varies with the proportion of polyurethane in the wheels. Wheels with hardness of 85A(A stands for hardness) are soft, suitable for sliding on rugged roads, and the sound is extremely low when sliding, which is a good choice for friends who like to pedal shopping.
However, the wheel of 85A is soft and not wear-resistant, and it is easy to break the spacer when doing sideslip braking and other actions. Generally, skaters choose 97A- 103A wheels. This kind of hard wheel is suitable for smooth marble and flat road surface, as well as props such as U pool and platform jumping.
There is no sound in smooth and flat places, such as the wheels of 85A. But in rugged places and on the U-shaped pool, there will be a loud rumble (this kind of sound often makes the wrench have a boiling blood). 103A is not recommended for transparent or translucent wheels. It's too hard and will crack. It is best to use it only on props made of all wood materials.
The second is the diameter, and 38-40mm wheels are rarely used. This kind of wheel accelerates quickly, but has little stamina. It is only suitable for very flat roads, and its characteristic is quite flexible. Friends who like small moves can try. 45mm-50mm wheels are the most suitable wheels for road types. 52-60mm wheels are more suitable for props.
Because the action on the props needs strong power, the flat action wants the board to be as light as possible, and the heavy board on the props can sometimes bring greater inertia and impact, allowing you to fly higher and farther. You can choose cross-country wheels over 60 mm in the field, and professional mountain skateboarding uses large rubber wheels.
There is also a rebound, and the rebound of the wheels is very important. Although there are no parameters to refer to. However, the stronger the rebound, the stronger the ability to overcome obstacles. If you don't know how well your wheels bounce, you can do a small experiment.
Remove the bearing from the wheel. You slammed the wheel to the ground. If the bullet is high, the wheel will bounce to the ceiling. If the wheel bounce is low, it will only bounce on the ground twice. On the flat ground, perhaps, the two kinds of wheels run as fast, but when encountering uneven road conditions, the advantages of high rebound wheels will immediately appear.
Hardness:
87A- Very rough ground (steep slope, etc.). )
95A- Rough ground (block)
99A- Smooth floor (various markets, skatepark, U-shaped pool, swimming pool)
10 1A- Not suitable for rough or very smooth ground (poor grip because it is too hard).
Size:
52-55mm- Suitable for most users. Market, skateboard park. Little skater.
56-60mm- Suitable for most users. Market, skateboard park. Adult skater.
60+mm- special skater. Lengthening the board, downhill, mud.
Novices had better choose wheels with lower hardness, because they can't control their skateboards well to avoid pebbles, glass and debris on the road. If the hardness is too high, these fragments will jam their wheels, while experienced skaters usually choose harder wheels.
If you are a beginner, you'd better consult your friends or try several wheels with different hardness and size to help you make a decision.
Professional skateboarding should be bought in a professional board shop. Most toys sold in shopping malls and sporting goods stores are toy boards.
face
1, generally made of five-layer, seven-layer and nine-layer maple boards by microwave cold pressing. There are also aluminum alloy, carbon fiber and other materials of the board, board, board head, board tail are inclined. The board surface above 22cm can basically be regarded as the board surface of U pool, and its board can accommodate more feet and is more stable on U pool.
19cm boards are mostly used for flat road conditions. The sub-plate can move flexibly and quickly after being equipped with small wheels. In addition, different companies have different depths of slabs and footpits. Some skaters like the board with deep footwell, which makes it easier to do the action related to turning the board and more stable when doing Ollie.
