WELCOME TO SKATE GUIDE by RIDEONSHOP
Just like any sport, skateboarding can seem difficult at first and for some people even impossible just to balance on the board. However, with daily practice everyone can improve and gain more confidence. With more confidence tricks are achieved easier and that is when we get the greatest satisfaction from this magical sport. On the other hand, no matter how good a skater is or considers himself to be, it often happens that the knowledge regarding the components, their adjustment and what finally fits best in each set up, comes after spending a lot of money and time until one can reach the optimal result .
In RideOnShop 's Skate Guide we have collected the most useful information about skateboarding, skate parts and the sport in general to help you not only choose the right parts for you but also to learn in depth more details such as how complete skateboards are assembled and what is the best way to maintain skate components.
Our Guide will be constantly updated with new content and "how to" videos from our team.

A complete skateboard is more than just a deck with wheels—it's made up of many different parts, each with its own design and function. Our team has summarized information about each skate part and presents it to you.
Since the first day that the decks first appeared, they have gone through many phases of development and changes. But what material are they made of? How are they made? What types are there? and a question we often get…which size should I choose?
These questions and more are covered in the Skate Decks section of RideOnShop's Skate Guide.

When it comes to choosing trucks, what interests us is the width of the truck but also the height where we find the categories LOW, MID, and HIGH. To find the right one for you especially if you are a beginner is a bit complicated.We hope the information below will make it a little easier for you.
