How much do skateboards cost?

Prices generally range from $120 to $300, depending on size, design and materials. Traditional trick decks sit at the lower end, while cruisers and longboards tend to cost more due to their larger size and construction.

How should I choose a skateboard?

Choosing the right skateboard starts with how you plan to ride.

• Street and park skaters usually prefer traditional popsicle-shaped decks for tricks, flips and grinds.
• Transition or bowl riders benefit from wider decks and stronger trucks for more stability on ramps.
• Cruisers and commuters will enjoy boards with softer wheels and longer decks for smoother rides on rough surfaces.
• Downhill or carving enthusiasts should look for longboards with responsive trucks for control at speed.

Think about where you’ll skate most often — that’s the best starting point for deciding which board style suits your needs.

What size skateboard should I ride?

Once you’ve chosen your style, the deck width is the key to getting the right fit and feel.

• 7.5"–8.0" – ideal for smaller riders, teens, or anyone focused on technical tricks.
• 8.0"–8.25" – a balanced choice for all-round street or park skating.
• 8.25"–8.5" – great for stability and control, especially for ramps and bowls.
• 8.5"+ – preferred by vert skaters or riders with larger feet.

For cruising or long-distance rides, consider cruisers or longboards with longer decks and softer wheels for comfort and smooth rolling.

What types of skateboard are there?

There are several styles of skateboard, each designed for specific types of skating.

Street boards – classic popsicle shape for tricks and grinds.

Vert boards – wider decks for ramps and aerials.

Cruisers – compact, soft-wheeled boards for smooth rides.

Longboards – long, stable boards for downhill or distance.

Old-school boards – retro designs perfect for carving or collecting.
