FREQUENTLY ASKED

Everything you need to know before you ride.

What is the best skateboard setup for beginners?
For beginners, we recommend a complete skateboard setup that balances stability and control. Most riders do best with an 8.0"–8.25" deck, medium trucks, and slightly softer wheels for a smoother ride. We’ll help match your setup to your height, shoe size, and where you plan to skate.
Do you build custom skateboards in Woodstock, GA?
Yes. You can pick your deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, and grip tape, and we’ll build your board in-shop so it’s ready to ride when you leave.
What size skateboard should I get?
Most skaters ride between 8.0" and 8.25" for all-around use. Smaller boards feel quicker, while wider boards offer more stability. We’ll help you find what feels right in person.
Do you sell longboards and cruisers locally?
Yes. We carry longboards and cruisers perfect for cruising, commuting, and smoother rides around town — all built with quality components.

What skateboard brands do you carry?
We carry independent, core skate brands you won’t find at chain stores. Our focus is quality gear that real skaters actually ride.
Why buy from a local skate shop instead of a big box store or online?
You get real advice, better gear, and hands-on help. We make sure your setup is right — not just something you guessed online or grabbed off a shelf.
What is the difference between a longboard and a regular skateboard?
Skateboards are built for tricks and parks, while longboards are longer and more stable — better for cruising, carving, and transportation.
How do I choose the right skateboard trucks?
Trucks should match your deck width and riding style. We’ll help you choose the right size and adjust them so your board feels perfect.
What wheels are best for street skating vs. skate parks?
Street skating typically benefits from slightly softer wheels for grip, while skate parks use harder wheels for speed on smooth surfaces. We’ll match your wheels to where you ride most.
Do you apply grip tape and assemble boards in the shop?
Yes — we fully assemble your board, apply grip tape, and make sure everything is ready to ride before you leave.
How much does a complete skateboard setup cost?
Most complete setups range from about $120 to $220+ depending on the components. We’ll help you get the best setup for your budget.
Do you serve Canton, Holly Springs, Ball Ground, and other Cherokee County areas?
Yes — we serve all of Cherokee County including Woodstock, Canton, Holly Springs, and Ball Ground.
How often should I replace my skateboard deck?
It depends on how often you skate. If you notice cracks, chips, or loss of pop, it’s time for a new deck. We can check your board and help you decide.
