Skateboard Maintenance 101: Pro Tips for a Longer-Lasting Deck

Your skateboard is an investment—protect it! Start by regularly inspecting trucks for loose bolts. Replace worn grip tape to avoid slippage, and clean wheels with a dry cloth to remove debris. For wooden decks, apply a light coat of mineral oil to prevent cracking. Pro skaters recommend rotating wheels every 50 hours to even out wear. Store your board in a cool, dry place to avoid warping. Brands like Girl Skateboards and Plan B use durable materials, but maintenance is key.
