Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose a skateboard?

Choosing a skateboard can seem overwhelming with so many options out there, but here at Sideways we offer a variety of skateboards to choose from so you can find the perfect skateboard to suit your needs. The first thing is to decide what type of skateboarding you want to do - whether it's cruising, tricks, downhill, or a combination of these. This will ultimately help you decide what size and shape, as well as what kind of wheels and trucks, will work best for you.

How do I figure out my skateboard size?

Generally, skateboard sizes are measured by the width of the deck, with sizes ranging from around 7.5 inches to over 9 inches. To start with, it's recommended to get a deck width between 7.75 or 8.0 inches. For taller or larger riders, a wider board may be preferred for greater stability and foot space, such as a board in the 8.5-9 inch range.

What is the easiest skateboard to learn?

The easiest skateboard to learn on depends on the rider's goals. However, generally speaking, a wider and longer skateboard tends to be easier for beginners to learn on as they provide greater stability and balance.
