Updating your skateboard to ensure its reliability is an absolute must for every rider. Diligently checking your board and its components to see which ones are needing replacement, update or upgrade will enable you to ride safely and smoothly in your next skating sessions.
While there may be other riders who prefer a complete skateboard replacement, others may find this move a bit too costly especially for those who are just beginning to skate. In general, it is alright to replace only the skate components that have the most obvious damage and impacts of wear and tear.
Skate wheels and the most often beaten parts of the skateboard since they are the ones treading all sorts of surfaces and getting the most impacts. Skateboard trucks also get the brunt of the impacts when you ride your board, especially if you love grinding various surfaces like ledges, railings and concrete edges. Meanwhile, your skate deck will also get damages from the impacts involved in riding various terrain, as well as the types of moves that you make.
Ensuring that your skateboard components are still usable and in good shape will keep you riding for longer. But when it's already time to replace them, it's best to choose branded ones to ensure you get top-notch quality and performance.
