FAQs

Is this skateboard suitable for a complete beginner?

Yes, the Tony Hawk Complete Skateboard - 7.75 is specifically designed for beginners and intermediates, offering a stable and user-friendly setup for learning.

What size is the deck?

The deck size is 31.5 inches in length and 7.75 inches in width.

Do I need to assemble this skateboard?

No, this is a complete skateboard that comes fully assembled and ready to ride right out of the box.

What type of terrain is this skateboard best for?

This skateboard is versatile and suitable for cruising, street skating, and riding at skateparks. The 99A wheels perform well on smooth surfaces like pavement and skatepark ramps.

How do I maintain the bearings?

Abec 5 bearings can be cleaned with a bearing cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and then re-lubricated with skate lubricant to maintain their speed and lifespan. Avoid getting them excessively wet.

Can an adult ride this skateboard?

Yes, while often favored by younger riders, its construction and size make it suitable for adults who are beginners or intermediates in skateboarding.

What is the main benefit of the 7-ply Hardrock maple deck?

The 7-ply Hardrock maple construction provides strength, durability, and a good 'pop' for learning tricks, ensuring the deck can withstand regular use.

Troubleshooting

Wheels are not spinning freely.

Check if the axle nuts are too tight, which can bind the bearings. Loosen them slightly. Ensure the bearings are clean and lubricated; dirt can impede rotation.

Skateboard feels wobbly or unstable when riding.

Tighten the kingpin nut on the trucks slightly. Be careful not to overtighten, as this can make turning difficult. Ensure the wheels are securely attached.

Deck surface feels slippery.

The OS780 griptape is designed for maximum traction. If it feels less grippy, ensure it's clean from dirt and debris. For extreme wear, griptape can be replaced.

Trucks feel too stiff or too loose.

Adjust the truck tightness using a skate tool. Tightening the kingpin nut makes the trucks stiffer; loosening it makes them looser and more responsive.

  • Smooth rolling wheels for a comfortable ride.
  • Reliable components offer good value for the price.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a complete skateboard, meaning it comes pre-assembled and ready to ride straight out of the box. No assembly is required.

Compatibility:

As a complete skateboard, all components are designed to work together. While the trucks are standard, the deck width (7.75 inches) is suitable for most users, but individual preference may vary as skaters progress.

Care:

To maintain your skateboard:

  1. Keep it Dry: Avoid riding in wet conditions, as this can damage the deck and bearings.
  2. Clean Regularly: Wipe down the deck and wheels with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive water.
  3. Check Hardware: Periodically check that the truck bolts are snug.
  4. Bearing Maintenance: If you notice reduced speed, clean and re-lubricate the Abec 5 bearings as needed. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
