Tricks often consist of a series of slides at various speeds.įreestyle Longboards: Used for technical tricks that are based off traditional skateboarding tricks. However, if you are new to skating, take a pass on the bearing lube and cleaning kit for now, learn to love your new ride, and then come on back to Daddies to gear up when you are ready to take your riding to the next level!Ĭarving Longboards: Used for skating in a way that heavily mimics the large or tight turns done on a surfboard.Ĭruising Longboards: Used for general all-purpose skating as a form of transportation and fun.ĭownhill Longbards: Used for high-speed and very advanced longboarding generally performed on designed racetracks, areas, or hills.ĭrifting: Sliding in a controlled manner in order to scrub off speed in order to safely hold a line around a corner.įreeride Longboards: Used for technical tricks that are performed in quick succession with one another. Cleaning kits are for - can you guess? - cleaning the bearings! Keeping your bearings clean and lubricated will add significant life to them. Parents tend to dig skate tools because it keeps the youngins' out of the family tool box.Īdd Bearing Lube or Cleaning Kit: Bearing lube is used to keep bearings, and hence wheels, turning more smoothly and quickly. While shock pads are never a bad idea, they are not necessary for first time riders who are just getting into the longboarding groove.Īdd a Skate Tool: A skate tool is not needed, but it is a relatively inexpensive and extremely convenient tool to help you maintain your board or even build it, if you're up for it. Shock pads are especially helpful with drop-through longboards. Shock pads do the same thing but they are also constructed out of a softer rubber which (i) absorbs shock thereby smoothing the ride and (ii) disperses the pressure placed on the deck by the trucks reduces the likelihood that the board will develop pressure cracks. If you want to learn more about spacers, head on over here.Īdd Risers or Shock Pads: Risers are a great way to ensure that you won't get wheelbite by providing greater clearance between the deck and the wheels. The spacers act to decrease the amount of force on your bearings by providing support from inside the wheel. If you plan to undertake more advanced riding, spacers are an inexpensive way to improve your ride and protect your bearings. If you are new to longboarding and just plan to cruise around town, you don't need bearing spacers. However, you have the option to select either a more specialized grip tape which we can apply or, alternatively, we can send you the grip tape unapplied.Īdd Bearing Spacers: Bearing spacers are small pieces of steel that sit between the bearings inside the wheel. In those cases, we grip the board with premium black grip tape. While many manufacturers send us boards pre-gripped, other boards come to us without grip tape. By default, all boards come with grip tape applied at no additional change. Grip My Board: Grip tape is a thin, coarse tape applied to the top of the board where the rider stands, allowing the rider to maintain a firm footing. If you choose to assemble the board yourself, we will provide all the hardware necessary to assemble the board. However, those customers that wish to assemble the boards themselves can choose the 'I'll Do it Myself' option.
