Skateboards

1. Deck. This is the wooden board that you stand on while skating and they come in a range of shapes and sizes to suit every type of skateboarder and style of  skateboarding. Decks feature graphics that can look too good to skate and are often used as artistic wall hangers.
2. Trucks. These are made of aluminium and steel metal and come in pairs. The wheel axles are on the hanger which pivots on a baseplate that is bolted to the deck. Trucks enable you to control and steer the skateboard and they come in a variety of widths, heights and weights.
3. Wheels. A set of 4 urethane skateboard wheels are what you roll on and grip to the surface being skated. There are many options of sizes, shapes and hardnesses to pick from.
4. Bearings. A skateboard needs a set of 8 bearings as each wheel requires 2 bearings pressed inside in order to spin freely on the truck axle. Choices range  from cheap and cheerful to ceramic Swiss luxury.
5. Bolts. A set 8 nuts and bolts are what you use to attach the deck to the trucks. The big question here is do you prefer Allen key or Phillips head?
6. Griptape. A sheet of self adhesive grip is applied to the deck and provides a coarse surface to prevent your feet from slipping off. At NOTE we provide free grip tape with all decks.

We also offer a range of additional components and accessories which allow you to adjust, customise and maintain your skateboard. These can all be found in our Hardware section.
