Skateboarding Tips for begginners Pt. 1 Trucks and Wheels

This guide is focusing on the Trucks and wheels.

Trucks:
These are those two metal things attached to the bottom of your board. These ar the two thisng to keep in mind when you purchase trucks.

1) Most trucks are the same, they're all gonna make you turn. But, when you buy some trucks feel them in your hands to make sure that they're a good weight.

2) Size of Trucks:
7.5" truck axle - 7.5" to 7.75" wide board 7.75'" truck axle - 7.75" to 8" wide board8" truck axle - 8" to 8.25" wide board
always know the width of your board so that you can choose the right trucks
Also, when a truck is given measurments by 5.0 or soemthing like that, it is the length of the grindable part, not the axle. Here's a helpful guide:
3.0 axle - 7.1"3.5 axle - 7.75"4.5 axles - 7.25"4.75 axle - 7.5"5.0 axle - 7.75"5.25 axle - 8.0"
129mm axle - 7.75"139mm axle - 8.0"145mm axle - 7.75"147mm axle - 8.0

Wheels:

1) Wheels are mostly all the same. They're all made the sam way, all of urathayne although hardness varies(see NOTE at bottom), they're just different sizes.

2) Wheels Size: 54mm and up - Vert53mm - average53 mm and down - street

3)Duramater: 87A - Cruiser riding, long boards, hill riding. Very rough surfaces. 95A Is for Street riding and rough surfaces, they're smooth, fast, and durable. 97A Is the allarounder or Jack of All Trades. Good for street, vert, pools and smooth surfaces. 100A Is VERY hard with the least amount of grip. Not too good on rough or too slick surfaces. Most of the pros choose these cause of the dificulty it adds.
NOTE: all wheels are pretty much 98 - 100 hardness.
However there are much softer wheels which means you're in a for a smoother but slower ride and it also helps with absorbing shock from hard or long fall, also you wont be able to powerslide, in conclusion its up to you.
