Skateboard Trucks Size Charts – Find the Perfect Fit for Your Deck Are your trucks on the list?Choosing the right skateboard truck size is key for stability, turning and control. Trucks that match your deck width ensure balanced feel, fewer wheel bites and optimal performance across street, park or bowl skating. Our size charts cover popular brands like Independent, Thunder, Venture, Slappy, ACE, Lurpiv and Mini Logo so you can find the perfect setup fast.A proper skateboard truck setup starts with matching truck width to deck width. The general rule is that your truck axle width should be as close as possible to your board width — ideally within a few millimeters — so your wheels don’t stick out too far or sit too far inside the deck edges, which can impact balance and tricks.Correct sizing ensures:Better stability at speedMore predictable turning responseReduced risk of wheel bite during tricksBalanced weight distribution underfootTruck Brand Size ChartsBelow are recommended deck widths for each truck size system, helping you quickly match trucks to your board:SIze charts for the following skateboard truck brands- Independent Trucks- Thunder Trucks- Venture Trucks- Slappy Trucks- ACE Trucks- Lurpiv Trucks- Mini LogoIndependent Trucks Size GuideIndependent sizes (e.g., 129, 139, 144, 149, 159, 166, 169) correlate with deck width ranges so you can pair trucks that fit your board perfectly.Thunder Trucks Size GuideThunder’s metric sizing (143, 145, 147, 148, 151, 161, 181) fits various deck widths — from narrower street decks to wider boardsVenture Trucks Size ChartSlappy Trucks Size ChartACE Trucks Size ChartLurpiv Trucks Size ChartMini Logo Trucks Size ChartQuick Size Reference (General Rules)Measure your deck width in inches.Choose trucks whose axle width closely matches your deck.Trucks slightly narrower than the deck can offer snappier turning; slightly wider trucks increase stability.Most sizing systems (Independent metric, Venture/ACE inch) aim to align with this deck width range.Tips for Better Truck SetupLooser trucks give quicker turning and smoother carves.Tighter trucks improve stability at speed and during heavy landings.Check your bushing hardness and adjust tightness based on your style.Buy your favorite truck brands at Nordic Skateboard SupplyMatch your deck with the right truck size from our selection to maximize performance and control.

            <title><![CDATA[Are skateboard reissue decks really worth it? Pros and cons discussed]]></title>
            <link>https://nordicskateboardsupply.se/news/are-skateboard-reissue-decks-worth-it</link>
            <guid>https://nordicskateboardsupply.se/news/are-skateboard-reissue-decks-worth-it</guid>
            <description><![CDATA[Is it worth the cash to treat yourself to that new reissue skateboard  deck? Remember when you were a kid and you wanted a Lamborghini Countach?   Or a skater kid that wanted the cool pro model Caballero, Roskopp or H  Street setup but you ended up with the department store special. Now  everyone is all grown up and has a job. Maybe you don't have the dream  supercar but you sure as heck can afford that skateboard deck you  wanted back in 88. Let's dig into whether you think your reissue deck  was shred money well spent or just another wall hanger.Are reissue decks skateable in 2024? The 30+ year old shapes that are the main focus of reissues from brands like Powell Peralta, H Street and Santa Cruz have a good tail to pop from. The length of these nostalgic maple icons  is generally between 30 inches and 32 inches. Pretty similar to a  modern popsicle deck. But the reissue can sometimes lean more towards  the 31inch length because of the shorter nose. They make up for the loss  of stability in length by adding a longer wheelbase. Generally hovering  around 15 inches.  So it's very much the same as modern dimensions for a  skateboard in 2024 as far as basic geometry.  That's a big  deck. Yep everything was big back in the 80's. Cars, interest rates,  investments in red sweat suits, large wrap around sunglasses and that  bulge in your pink spandex skate fit. Sort of like today when you put it  like that. The size range of these reissue decks is generally between  9,5'' and 10,5 inches. That's enough wood to impress. Rest assured these  reissue beer wagons can get wide enough to hide behind in case Punk  Steve gets a little wild  discussing Bertlemanns at your local DIY BBQ. The materials used  to make the modern reissues are generally of the highest quality. In  most cases the larger brands make better decks now than they did on the  original production runs back in the 80's. The factories use better  laminating techniques when pressing the maple veneer.  The concaves are  more consistent because of advances in modern skateboard presses. These  manufacturing advances make reissue decks thinner, lighter, more rigid  and have more pop than the original. That's money well spent. Not quite a Lambo. But let's face it, neither are you.Certain releases of these  street wise skatable picasso's feature hand screened graphics if your  budget stretches that far now you're all grown up. Most of the reissues  in the 100 - 150 $ dollar range come with heat transfer graphics. Heat  transfer prints are very precise and capture the original release  aesthetic very well. You can get more authentic by looking for hand  screen printed graphics. Look to spend 150-200 $ or more if you want a  hand screened reissue deck. Let's face it, your wife said you deserve it. The  shapes get pretty wild or artistic depending which way you look at it.  There are some pretty cool shapes out there, but there are also some  stinkers. Many of these throwback 80's rock gods lack a nose. Rock on!  The nose on a lot of the reissues gets pretty short. Doing some tricks  without a nose is a whole different thing. For 2024 you, the lack of a  good solid 7 inch nose on your chosen nostalgia  boat may be the most exciting fact. You might think it's fun learning to  skate all over again, but this time without a nose. Or it may turn out  to be really frustrating and in no time you will be drilling more holes  to hang your new spandex scented hair metal maple trophy above the  fireplace.Will my trucks, wheels and bolts even fit this mobile  art installation? Most modern reissues use the modern (smaller) bolt  pattern that has been in use on skateboard trucks and decks since  1992-1993. But do be aware there are some reissues that use the  traditional pre 1992 hole pattern. Please double check the product  description so you won't be caught off guard and end up drilling extra  holes in your family heirloom 4 wheeled speed sled. Independent standard  159's and 169's have 6 hole drilled base plates that fit both old and  new hole pattern skateboard decks. Pure genius.Like  an Anthrax fan more than 40 years later. It still rocks, but maybe not  all night long. There are companies out there doing really great reissue  boards in 2024. They are generally super high quality and quite  skatable. Find that 80's hammer stick you always wanted and call your  wife and ask if you can have it. You waited over 40 years to get it,  that's how important it is to you.  Reissues are 100% fun and make you  do something different. Based on that I would say reissues are worth it  but it probably won't end up being your go to board for the daily skate  unless it's really your thing.]]></description>

            <link>https://nordicskateboardsupply.se/news/stinky-socks-class-leader-or-smelly-feet</link>
            <guid>https://nordicskateboardsupply.se/news/stinky-socks-class-leader-or-smelly-feet</guid>
            <description><![CDATA[
To be honest socks are a pretty popular spinoff product these days amongst skate deck brands. Each brand placing their logo and iconic graphics on a sock and waiting for the cash to roll in..... well maybe. So why is there a trend. In my opinion, the skate deck companies have seen the success of Stinky Socks and now are all jumping on the band wagon. Quite literally 1/2 of some deck brand catalogues for spring 2021 is dedicated to socks. Maybe decks are hard to make at the moment and socks have good production?So this is a good thing right? Well, you would think so. We all have feet and need socks to suck up that access foot moisture, not to mention look cool with distinctive style. But as spring 2021 unfolds we will see more arrivals of socks from different brands into the Nordic Skateboard Supply webstore. We have ordered some cool looking stuff from a range of brands. But here is the elephant in the room. Will the skate deck brands be able to match the quality of a dedicated sock brand like Stinky Socks? While the jury is still out and the stock still arriving to the shop. What I can tell you is that I think Stinky Socks will come out on top for quality, design and price. Read our brief recommendation below and stay STINKY!!!!!Nordic Skateboard Supply recommends this product. In our opinion these are the highest quality socks money can buy. This is not your average sock. The attention to manufacturing detail and quality is of the highest level. At the 119 sek price point this is a lot of sock for your money. At Nordic Skateboard Supply we only stock brands that meet or exceed our expectations. Check these out, they will be the best quality and coolest looking socks in your closet. 10/10 Recommended.

            <description><![CDATA[
CLICK HERE  TO SHOP SUPER DECKS at NORDIC SKATEBOARD SUPPLYBattle of the super decks. Powell Peralta Flight Deck vs Almost Uber deck.In the year 2020 we still don't have hoverboards like 'Back to the future'', thank Mickael J Fox for 30+ years of dissapointment. Jetpacks are still a little way off, but flatspots are becoming a thing of the past and now the unbreakable super light weight skateboard deck is here. Rejoice.Almost SkateboardsAlmost skateboards is offering the Rodney Mullen designed Uber deck. A deck constructed of 7 veneer of canadian maple with a space age super foam insert Rodney describes as a board within a board. It is lighter without a doubt, but with the high price tag I didn't focus it to test the strength. This looks just like a regular 7 ply maple deck we all are familiar with. But when you feel the deck you know its something special. Dont take my word for it, this is what Rodney says.Uber Light Construction Uber Light has a  deck inside a deck. The internal carbon fiber foam deck is ultra light  and nearly as stiff as metal. It also vastly improves the lateral  rigidity. It's lighter and has a supernatural pop that lasts far longer  than normal decks. Why its Better:Stronger than industry standard 7-ply.Strong pop.Long deck life.CLICK HERE  TO SHOP SUPER DECKS at NORDIC SKATEBOARD SUPPLYPowell PeraltaNot to be outshined by Rodneys Uber product that has been on the market for many years now. Powell Peralta have brough the Flight Deck to market to fill the catagory of super deck and satisfy the need of board breakers or people who want a little extra and are prepared to pay for it.The Powell Peralta Flight Deck does not look like a standard 7 veneer maple deck. It has 5 veneer that appear to be glued with epoxy resin. The top layer looks like  carbon fiber in appearence and is described by Poweel Peralta as ''Fiber Glass and epoxy resin, fused with Airlam''. Sounds like a lot of double talk to market what I would describe as a 5 ply deck that includes layers of fiber glass, glued with epoxy resin and has a layer of black fiberglass/carbon fiber looking stuff glued on top.Marketing buzzwords aside, the deck feels super light, is really thin ( see below photos ) and although I didn't focus it, I am guessing it's a lot stronger than an average deck.Conclusion: I would ride either the Almost Uber deck or the Powell Peralta flight deck without hesitation. I can feel they are much lighter than regular decks and if they are as strong as they claim then this would be a good choice for the chronic board breakers out there. There is no clear winner in this battle, both products are exceptional and made to the highest quality standards. My personal choice would be the Almost Rodney Mullen Uber deck because it looks lke a regular deck, but is packing super powers under the hood. The Uber deck is the same thickness as a standard 7 ply maple deck we all ride, so I think the tail will wear a little longer than the flight deck before getting razor tail.

            <description><![CDATA[
Formula four is the wheel of choice for many skateboarders since its release. It is available in 99a and 101a. Both are hard, with the 101a being about exactly as hard as I would want a wheel when skating smooth spots. I prefer the 101a on concrete and asphalt because it felt faster than the 99a.  How does it compare to any other wheel? It's good, it's actually really good. Try both the 101a and the 99a at some point. Both formulas are really good. There was no problem sliding with both either hardness, and I didn’t get flat spots. Compared to the Bones STF wheels, I would say the two formulas on both on the same level, just different. My suggestion is that Formula Four is kind of like the VX of wheels. Is kind of yellow, works well and it’s not broke don't fix it.Our product description for Spitfire Formula FourUnmatched flatspot resistanceSmooth anti-stick slideHigh rebound compound100% true performance urethane skateboard wheels.
