Skateboards are roughly divided into three categories: fishboards, longboards, and rockerboards. The details are as follows:

1. Fishboards: The board is small and easy to carry, and is suitable for walking on the street. This skateboard is recommended for beginners.

Fishboard materials include ABS, PU, ??maple, etc. For fishboard skateboards, maple is recommended. Although the cost is high, the performance is more stable.

Advantages: The board is small and easy to carry, fast and flexible; the wheels are soft and have little vibration, so it is suitable for various road surfaces and is the best choice for street painting.

Disadvantages: The board is small and difficult to control.

2. Longboard: Maple is commonly used. The board is wide and long, and the wheels are large and soft. This kind of skateboard is recommended for girls.

Advantages: Strong battery life, effortless street riding, easy to control, good stability, super cool dance on the board~

Disadvantages: The skateboard is large and heavy, making it inconvenient to carry.

3. Double rocker board: The board surface is often made of maple wood. The ends of the board surface are upturned. The wheels are hard and small, and you can do many cool moves.

The board surface has a concavity, also known as "foot socket". The head and tail foot sockets are deep and shallow. The deep ones are good for buckling the board, and the shallow ones are easy to control.

Advantages: Can do a lot of cool moves.

Disadvantages: The wheels are hard and easy to shake your feet.

Expand knowledge - how to choose a skateboard

1. Board surface

Length: the standard length is 80cm, usually 80~90cm, there is not much difference.

Width: Common width is 19~24cm, different widths are suitable for different actions. If you have a lot of flipping movements, a narrow skateboard is recommended; if you are traveling, a wide skateboard is recommended for better stability.

Number of layers: The board surface generally has 7 to 9 layers. The more layers, the heavier it is and the less likely it is to break, but it is also less easy to move.

2. Bridge (bracket)

The bridge is an assembly that connects the deck, wheels, and bearings. By pressing one side of the bridge, basic steering actions can be completed.

The width of the bridge: depends on the width of the board. The wider the board, the wider the bridge.

The height of the bridge: the control board of a short bridge is more stable, and the control board of a high bridge is better; in addition, there must be enough space between the wheels and the board, otherwise it will be easy to throw people out when turning.

Tightness of the bridge: The looser the bridge, the easier it is to turn, but the worse the controllability; the tighter the bridge, the better the control, but the harder it is to turn. To find the tightness that suits you, you have to keep sliding and adjusting.
