Trucks
The pivoting axel system that holds to wheels onto the deck.They come in various sizes and styles, including these iconic ones featuring a hole in the center by Krux. You can ride them super loose for surfy turns, or super tight for quick spinning tech tricks. These badboys are what you grind with so you might wanna put some wax on ‘em.
Wheels & Bearings
Wheels come in many shapes, sizes, softness, and colors. Depending on your goals for your board setup: wether you wanna rise super fast and smooth, powerslide down the street, or have a lightweight setup for faster flipping of tricks, finding the right wheel is crucial. Bearings come in various ABEC amounts, typically ABEC 7 or 9. You won’t feel much of a difference between brands as long as you keep them well maintained and away from water puddles.
