1, board face

Length: the standard length is 80cm, generally 80~90cm, with little difference.

Width: The common width is 19~24cm, and different widths are suitable for different actions. If there are many flips, the skateboard is recommended to be narrower; If you are traveling instead of walking, it is recommended that the skateboard be wider and more stable.

Layers: Generally, there are 7-9 layers on the board. The more layers, the heavier, the less easy it is to break, but the less easy it is to do actions.

2. Bridge (bracket)

A bridge is an assembly of connecting plates, wheels and bearings. Press one side of the bridge to complete the steering action of the foundation.

The width of the bridge: depends on the width of the board. The wider the chessboard, the wider the bridge.

Height of the bridge: the control panel of the short bridge is more stable, and the Gao Qiao is more resilient; In addition, there should be enough space between the wheel and the board, otherwise it is easy to throw people out when turning.

The tightness of the bridge: the looser the bridge, the easier it is to turn, but the worse the handling; The tighter the bridge, the better the maneuverability, but the harder it is to turn. In order to find the right tightness, you must keep sliding and adjusting.
