FAQs

Is this skateboard suitable for a complete beginner?

Yes, its construction and setup make it perfect for beginners learning the fundamentals of riding and trick execution.

What is the deck width?

The deck width is 8.0 inches, which is the industry standard for a versatile street and park skateboard.

Can I replace the wheels later?

Yes, the skateboard uses standard hardware, so you can easily replace the wheels with different sizes or durometers as your skill level changes.

Does it come with grip tape already applied?

Yes, the board comes fully assembled with high-quality grip tape pre-applied to the top of the deck.

Is this board waterproof?

No. You should avoid riding in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the wood deck and cause the bearings to rust.

Troubleshooting

The board pulls to one side when rolling.

Adjust the kingpin nut on the trucks to ensure equal tension on both sides, or check that your bushings are seated correctly.

The wheels do not spin freely.

Loosen the axle nut slightly; if the issue persists, the bearings may need cleaning or replacement.

The board feels wobbly or unstable.

Tighten the kingpin nuts on the trucks slightly to increase stability at higher speeds.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ready to use immediately out of the box
  • Medium concave is beginner-friendly for learning tricks
  • Durable aluminum trucks provide solid stability
  • Versatile 8.0-inch deck width fits most riders
  • High-quality aesthetic with eye-catching Ransom graphics

Cons

  • ABEC 3 bearings may feel slower than higher-rated options
  • 95A wheels are a hybrid hardness which may feel less grippy on smooth indoor wood
  • Not intended for high-impact professional competition skating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This board arrives fully assembled. Before your first ride, it is standard practice to check the tightness of the truck kingpin nuts and axle nuts to ensure they meet your preferred tension. To care for your skateboard, avoid riding through water, sand, or mud, as these elements can degrade the ABEC 3 bearings and cause the deck to delaminate. If the grip tape becomes dirty, use a specialized grip tape eraser or a firm brush to remove dust and debris. Regularly inspect the trucks and wheels for wear and tear, and tighten hardware periodically to prevent rattling during use.
