How to Choose

Match your truck width to your deck width (axle roughly as wide as the board), and pick wheel hardness for terrain: 99A–101A hard wheels for street and parks, 78A–85A soft wheels for cruising rough ground. Good bearings — the perennial Bones Reds are the value benchmark — matter more than price suggests, and a single skate tool handles every bolt on the board. Don't forget hardware (the nuts and bolts) and fresh bushings if your trucks feel stiff or sloppy.

FAQ

Questions, Answered

What size skateboard trucks do I need?
Match the truck's axle width to your deck width. For a typical 8.0" street deck, a 139mm/149mm (5.0–5.25" axle) truck is right. Trucks that are far too narrow or wide make the board feel twitchy or sluggish.
Are Bones Reds bearings worth it?
Yes — Bones Reds are the classic value pick, offering smooth, fast, durable performance for a fraction of the price of ceramic or higher-tier steel bearings. For most skaters they're all the bearing you'll ever need.
Hard or soft skateboard wheels?
Hard wheels (99A–101A) are faster and slide better on smooth street and park concrete. Soft wheels (78A–85A) grip and absorb cracks for comfortable cruising. Pick by where you actually skate.
