Essential Cruiser Parts

 

Bushings: Enhance Your Turning and Control

Bushings are the rubber rings inside the truck that allow it to turn smoothly. They are essential for your skateboard's responsiveness and control. Different durometers (hardness) affect how easily your board turns. Harder bushings create a more stable feel, softer are more responsive. 

 

Bearing Lube: For a Faster, Smoother Ride

Bearing lube reduces friction and maintains the smooth rotation of skateboard bearings. Apply it whenever you clean your bearings to keep them performing well and prolong their lifespan.

 

Griptape: Keep Your Feet Securely on Your Board

Applying griptape involves cleaning your deck, carefully aligning and sticking the griptape, and then trimming the edges with a sharp blade. Make sure to smooth out any air bubbles for a clean finish.

 

Rails: Protect Your Board and Improve Your Slides

Rails on a skateboard are plastic strips attached to the underside of the deck to protect it from damage and enhance performance. They help the board slide more smoothly on surfaces during grinds and slides, reduce friction, and provide a better grip for your hands during grab tricks.

 

Truck Risers: Get the Perfect Height and Avoid Wheel Bite With Our Truck Risers

Truck risers are pads placed between the skateboard deck and trucks to raise the board. They help prevent wheel bite and provide a smoother ride, especially for larger wheels, soft bushings and rough terrain.
