A quality skateboard will cost about £100, a deck at
about £40, 2 trucks for £30 and 4 wheels for around
£20-30. A skateboard deck is made from wood ply pressed
together and glued, this makes it very durable, so it can
take plenty of abuse. More decks are also concave is shape.
Trucks connects the deck to the wheels, and control how agile
a skateboard is, they usually range between 4.75 and 5.5 inches.
