How to choose your equipment skate?
To compose a complete skateboard, you need to buy the following essential parts: board, trucks, screws, wheels and bearings.
If all these elements are present in your order, we assemble skateboard for free before delivery. If you prefer to do the editing yourself, you must leave us a message in the "comment" during the ordering process.
1/ Choose its skateboard
- Sizes decks on our site are written in inches (1 inch = 1" = 2.54 cm) and correspond to the deck width.
- Most boards are made of maple wood from Canada. There are also boards made of bamboo or carbon fiber aillant aims to strengthen the impact zones.
- With practice, the choice of the board becomes a personal criterion. Below, the shoes/deck size chart :
7.5” decks: less than 5US
7.75” decks: between 5.5US and 7.5US
8” decks: between 8US and 10US
8.1” decks: between 9US and 10.5US
8.25” decks: between 10US and 11.5US
8.375” decks: between 10.5US and 12US
8.5” decks: more than 11.5US
=> ces correspondances sont approximatives car intervient aussi les goûts personnels. Certains skateurs ont leur propre feeling et préfèrent sortir de ces recommandations en choisissant plus ou moins large.
2/ Choose its trucks (view the chart below)
- The width of the trucks must be equal to the width of the deck.
- The height of a truck is chosen according to the diameter of the wheels. Trucks Low: wheels up to 52mm. Trucks High: 54mm wheels up. Beyond 54mm, adding Pads is required to prevent the wheels touch the board.
The size of the trucks is chosen according to the width of board. | |||||||||||||||||

3/ Choose its wheels
- Diameter : The choice of diameter is a function of its own skateboarding. Mainly, the wheels of small diameter (49mm, 50mm, 51mm and 52mm) allow a better precision street at technical figures. The wheels of large diameter (53mm, 54mm, 55mm, 56mm, ...) suitable for practitioners curves (ramps and bowls) and cameramen skate because they allow a better stability and speed maintenance.
- Hardness : More skate wheel is hard, it will wear out less quickly. A hard wheel provides less comfort due to vibration but it can go faster. Conversely, more than one wheel skate mole is, the faster it will wear out. Mol wheel provides greater comfort but reduces speed skate because it adheres more to the ground. Our opinion: For practical skatepark and street spots, we recommend hard wheels. For the practice of ramps, bowls and rough floors we recommend wheels moles. Technical Details for wheel hardness :
- 87 A : Good for rough surfaces, longboards or soils that need lots of grip.
- 95 A : Slightly harder and faster with a proper Adhesion on slippery surfaces.
- 99 A : Good speed and grip. Versatile: street, ramp skatepark. We recommend it for beginners.
- 101 A : The harder, faster and more slippery. Ideal for hanging slider without the curb.
4/ Choose its bearings
- Bearings are placed inside the wheels. Wheel requires two bearings (bearings or 8 in total).
- The choice of bearing depends on your need for speed and strength.
- There are 3 main standards bearings: ABEC 3, ABEC 5 and ABEC 7. The higher the number, the higher the skate will go. However, the turnover will be more fragile with a high figure. Conversely, a small number will have a higher resistance but the skateboarder reaches maximum speeds lower.
- For practice and skatepark street, we recommend bearings ABEC 3 or ABEC 5 because shocks are more important. For a hands-on ramps, bowls or tracks speed, we recommend bearings ABEC 7 to enjoy the speed.
5/ Choose its pads
Riser Pads (rubber area placed between the trucks and board) are not used to cushioning.
Skate pads serve only to raise the height of the board to avoid friction with the wheels of large diameter (53 mm or more). The choice to ride with or without pad is purely personal. The purchase of pads is optional.
Riser pad size chart
0.10” for wheels between 53mm and 55mm
0.25” for wheels between 55mm and 60mm
0.50” for wheels more than 60mm
6/ Choose its screws
- The size of the screws are selected according to the presence or not of pads :
- Without pads : select 7/8" screws (7/8" = 0.875 inch = 2.2 cm)
- For 0.10” riser pads : select 1" to 1 1/8" screws (= 1 to 1.125 inches)
- For 0.25” riser pads : select 1 1/4" screws (= 1.25 inches)
- For 0.50” riser pads : select 1 1/2" screws (= 1.5 inches)
7/ Choose its griptape
- To purchase a board or full board, we offer you the grip Jessup Griptape ® and placement.
- Jessup Griptape ® : Normal grip. Grip having the longest lifetime.
- MOB Griptape ® : Superior adhesion. Warning: efficiency figures leads to accelerated wear shoes.

NOTES IMPORTANTES à l’intention des clients ADIDAS :
On all Adidas shoes, we have standardized EU sizes called “Third” (forms: NN 1/3 and NN 2/3) in the table below in order to improve research in our Shoes section when customers use “Filter by size”.
For example, if you put on the 41 EU usually, of course you decide to display only the models available in your size by selecting “41 EU” on the filter by size. But the 41 EU does not exist in Adidas size chart, in this case the system you have proposed all brands except Adidas!
To solve this problem, considering that generally Adidas carves smaller, it seemed logical to convert 41 1/3 Adidas EU to 41 Standard EU. So, if you order a pair of 41 EU, we will ship a box marked 41 1/3 EU.
