Skateboarding Accessories
In our skateboard accessories section, you'll find everything else you need for a perfect setup aside from skate decks, trucks, and wheels.
We have a huge selection of griptapes, ranging from standard black griptapes, to anti-bubble tapes, to griptapes with insanely detailed prints and color-designs. There is definitely more to a griptape than its rough surface. It can complete your board, and give it a unique style.
Skateboard bearings will set the wheels in motion. There's no skating without bearings, and the right choice of bearings is one of the important decisions to make for your perfect setup. The selection of bearings we carry, ranges from beginners' bearings in various ABEC grades, that will offer you high quality at very favorable prices, all the way to Skate Rated bearings, like the highly popular Bones Reds bearings, and high-end Swiss ceramic bearings. Additionally, we have maintenance products like Bones Speed Cream.
Mounting kits are used to attach the trucks to the deck, after you've put on the griptape. They are available in various versions which differ in their length and types of bolts. There are bolts with Phillips-head or Allen-key which will keep the parts together.
With bushings like Bones Hardcore you can upgrade your trucks to meet your individual requirements, or replace your old, worn-out bushings, so that your trucks feel like they're brand new.
Our selection of kingpins will help you out, in case the central bolt in your truck should break. Simply remove the broken one from your truck (if necessary, use a hammer) and replace it with a new one. There are different versions of kingpins available: ones with a hexagonal head, with a round head, or hollow ones. It is always useful to carry one with you when you go skating.
If you attach riserpads between your board and your trucks, you'll increase the distance between wheels and deck. This prevents wheel bites and increases the turning angle. Riserpads are available in various heights. Shockpads will protect your deck against extreme strains and hard impacts. They are especially useful to prevent cracks along the trucks. Shockpads, like riserpads, are attached between baseplate and deck.
A skate-tool is extremely practical and basically every skater should have one. They are small and fit in every backpack, and if push comes to shove, these babies will save the day. They can do anything from replacing a broken bearing to fully assemble an entire setup.
And finally...skate wax! Carrying a piece of wax with you when you go skating, is always a smart thing to do. Too often, you want to skate a spot but when you get there you can' t skate it because you don't have wax with you. Skate wax is available in all kinds of shapes and colors, by all sorts of brands.
