The most important measurement is the width of the deck. Narrower deck sizes, such as 7.75-8.0", are suitable for younger people, those with small feet or those who do technical park skating. A versatile all-round size is usually 8.0-8.25". Wider deck sizes, 8.25" and up, offer more stability for ramps and street cruising. In store we will help you choose a size according to your feet and skating style.

The hardness of a tire determines how it behaves on different surfaces. Harder tires roll quickly and are suitable for parking. Softer tires absorb vibrations and are better for uneven surfaces and street driving. The choice depends on where you ride most.

The truck should be as wide as the deck. If the truck is too narrow, the board will feel unstable. If the truck is too wide, turning will be difficult. Most often, the width of the truck follows the width of the deck: for example, a 139–149 mm truck fits an 8.0" deck. We will check the dimensions for you in store.

The height of the truck affects both tire size and handling. Low trucks are suitable for small tires and technical stunts. Mid trucks are the most versatile overall choice. High trucks allow for larger tires and roll better on the street. If you are unsure, Mid is the safe choice.

Small tires (49–52 mm) offer agility and control for tricks. Medium tires (52–54 mm) are a good compromise for versatile riding. Larger tires (54–60 mm) roll faster and are especially suitable for street riding and uneven surfaces.

Traditional grip tape works for most skaters and provides good grip. Some grips have special features, such as perforations to prevent air bubbles or an extra-rough surface. The choice depends on whether you want maximum grip or a comfortable feel for your feet. We can install the grip tape in-store if you wish.

Yes, we can pre-tape your deck in store at no extra cost if you pick it up from the store. You can also choose from different grip tapes, allowing you to personalize your deck to your own taste.

Yes, you can. Skateboard parts are mostly compatible regardless of manufacturer. The most important thing is that the width of the truck axle matches the width of the deck and that the tire size fits the height of the truck you have chosen. We will help you in the store to check that the parts work together.

It's a good idea to replace your grip when it starts to lose grip or tear. A deck is usually replaced when it loses pop, softens, or breaks. Active riders will need to replace it less often, while casual skaters can expect their deck to last a long time.

Yes, you can. Shreddington Snow and Lamina are always happy to help with the installation of trucks, tires, bearings, and grip tape. We can also help you choose the right parts and adjust the whole thing to make it a fully functional skateboard.
