THE SKATEBOARD

Skateboard


A skateboard is sport equipment used for the activity of skateboarding. It consists of a specially designed maplewood board combined with a polyurethane coating in order to have smoother slides and stronger durability. Most skateboards are made with 7 plies of this wood.
Many skateboards exist with exotic or alternative constructions. Traditional complete skateboards consist of the deck (often with grip tape applied on top to enhance traction), trucks (with urethane bushings), wheels (with sealed bearings), nuts, and bolts to fasten the truck and wheel assembly to the bottom of the deck. Recently, electric skateboards have appeared. These no longer require the propelling of the skateboard by means of the feet; rather an electric motor propels the board, fed by an electric battery.
The board types depend largely upon its desired function. The two common types of skateboards are the longboard and the shortboard. Longboards are type of skateboards with longer wheelbases (over 33 inches long) and larger, softer wheels. Shortboards are type of skateboards which commonly have a rectangular shape kicktail at the back and a rounded nose in the front. They are usually less than 34 inches long. Besides, Longboards are usually faster and are mostly used for cruising and racing, while shortboards are mostly used for doing tricks.
A skateboard can be used by simply standing on the deck while on a downward slope. By simply standing on the deck while on a downward slope, gravity will propel the board and rider.
