For more options, head over to our stellar selection of Hi-Tech Decks! Although hi-tech decks have made a strong presence within the market, standard 7-ply Maple remains the gold standard. Hi-tech decks differ from traditional 7-ply Maple in that they are inlaid with Carbon Fiber, Fiberglass, Poly Ply, or Kevlar to produce a stronger skateboard with more pop. Other manufacturers such as Flip, Habitat, Plan B, Skate Mental, and Zero offer boards with high-end P2 Construction. Element makes Highlight decks with inlaid fiberglass beams, and Foundation has its signature Fiberprime decks. Companies such as Almost have several versions of hi-tech decks such as the Impact, Double Impact, and Uber Light Series. In this modern era, manufacturers are incorporating hi-tech processes and top-shelf materials into the construction of the skateboard. No matter what you desire, CCS offers a complete selection in multiple sizes, shapes, and construction types! Most board manufacturers offer both high-tech decks and standard 7-ply Maple. The large majority of skateboard decks offered are constructed of 7-ply Maple. This is due to the solid feeling and pop afforded through layering 7 Maple wood veneers together. CCS proudly carries all these brands, and many more.


Bones, Bronson, and Andale are some of the top bearing brands in the skate market. Skate bearings follow the ABEC rating system, which includes grades 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Bones, Spitfire, Ricta, and Wayward wheel companies all make wheels for any terrain, whether you're a street shredder or a park burner. Like the deck sizes, wheel sizes depend on the skater's choice of terrain: Transition skaters tend to ride bigger wheels, while street skaters usually go with smaller wheels. Some brands offer smaller and larger sizes, but 50-60mm is the general range. The skateboard wheels range from 50mm to 60mm. The skate hardware is generally either Phillips head or Allen key bolts. Independent, Venture, and Thunder, are truck brands that are well known for their turning and grinding capabilities. The main factors in a truck, are how well they turn, and how well they grind. Skateboard trucks come in either a high or low setting, and also in a range of widths. Skate brands such as Girl, enjoi, and Welcome offer a wide range of boards in regards to sizes and graphics. Transition skaters usually ride a wider deck, while street skaters tend to go with a smaller deck. Skaters choose their board size for many reasons, but the basic deciding factor comes down to style of skating and foot size. The deck ranges generally from 7.5" to 8.5". The deck is the essential part of any skateboard.
