Skateboards are a sport equipment that's used for skateboarding. Typically made of a deck, wheels, and trucks, skateboards have changed and been developed through the years since it was first introduced in the 1950s.

Wheels
The wheels allow for movement on the skateboard and helps determine the speed while riding. There are typically four wheels on a skateboard that are attached to the trucks. Ranging in size from around 48mm to around 60mm, smaller wheels are lighter in weight and are used for shorter distances and tricks. Larger wheels are heavier in weight, which are better for maintaining speed and longer distances. Wheels that are larger than 60mm are typically used for longboards.
