Skateboarding, formerly considered a risky sport for rebels, is now a popular pastime for people throughout the world. What’s really interesting is that skateboarding has a number of health advantages beyond the colorful boards, the wheels, and the acrobatics it is known for.

1.Better Coordination

Enhancing coordination is one of skateboarding’s most beneficial advantages. To be successful in any activity, you need to be able to coordinate your hands and legs well.

Skateboarding helps with this, as well as decision-making abilities that are useful in other aspects of life – you need to think fast when you’re skateboarding and have to avoid an accident, for example.

2.Improves Balance

Another significant benefit that skateboarders gain is a strong feeling of balance. Balance is essential to the art of skating, but not everyone is born with it.

As a result, skateboarders practice until they get it right. Regular practice gradually improves balance as the core muscles get stronger from the numerous postures and workouts that they would not ordinarily get from daily activity.

3.Physical Endurance

We may not play football all day from the morning to the evening. But we can skateboard all day and all night even though skateboarding wears us out, beats us, but we keep doing it for as long as we can.

The more we do it, the more we are able to do it. Why can we do that? Simply because it is fun.

4.Relieve Stress

Stress is an indispensable part of life today. You can be stressed out for personal and professional issues. If you want to reduce stress and boost your mood, try skateboarding. Like many other sports, skateboarding is an effective way to reduce stress.

5.Maintain An Excited Mind

Although, practicing with the skateboard until the skills are mastered will take a relatively long time and persistence.

However, the feeling of really owning the feet and of the skateboard makes the skater feel adventurous and excited.

In particular, it is the feeling of overcoming challenges, overcoming yourself and conquering difficult movements. All of these will help your mind become more positive.

When you are interested in skateboarding, you also need to know that you need a suitable skateboard, which requires some purchasing skills, otherwise you will waste money and not be happy.

The most common first board is a Complete Skateboard, as the name implies, you get everything you need already assembled and ready to ride.

The benefits are you don't need to know about selecting and pairing all the right parts, you can simply pick the design you like on the right size board. This is often the most cost-effective way to get into skateboarding.

There are telltale signs of a poor quality complete skateboard, ideally, you should avoid buying skateboards with the following:

· Plastic skateboard decks. Instead, plywood-based decks have superior shapes and are better suited to tricks.

· Plastic trucks or any fixed trucks that do not lean or turn. Instead, metal alloy trucks that have 2 polyurethane bushes that allow the skateboard to turn.

· Hard plastic wheels or super-soft rubber wheels. Instead, polyurethane wheels are the best balance of grip and durability, look for a durometer rating between 90a and 100a.

Skateboards come in many different sizes to suit different riders. Choosing a width depends on your age, experience and what type of skating you want to do.

Some people recommend choosing a deck size based on your shoe size, this isn't necessarily the right advice for beginners as technically you can ride any size, your height is more important.

For beginners, we recommend you pick a skateboard based on your age and height. If you're under 10 years old or under 5ft tall then we recommend a Junior sized skateboard, if you're over 10 years old or over 5ft then you'll be suited to a full-sized skateboard.
